Thank you! I bought it from a former member that I found on another site. It had a different wrap on it. I noticed when I installed the tank and ran it, the left side near the radiator was bubbling. I thought it was from the heat of the radiator. I took the wrap off and it turned out there was a pin hole with small scrape, so it was gas that was leaking. It was an easy fix with some solder since hole was tiny. I put a new wrap on.
I wanted the extra range since my work commute was 120 miles a day on the freeway. I wanted less fill ups in between and my range was considerably less since I traveled heavy and interstate speeds were high.
The green was an easy PlastiDip job. Several coats and stays strong. Easy to touch up too. Only some noticed the Brembo M4 calipers. I bought the bracket online to hold them. One other member had that mod, so I asked him about it. The difference from the larger pads was that there was less rear brake wear and more initial stopping power.

This is a 2019, its pushing on 40,000kms. The picture hides it well, its a little beat up cosmetically. Lots of scratches, cracked plastics and a few good gouges on the armor. Its had several mirror replacement and a panel. Hand guards were broken within a month of owner ship.
Either way its been a tank of a bike, solid, reliable but definitely not a prom queen more of the abused one. LOL

2016 ES with 74k miles. Picked it up less than two weeks ago. Thinking of vinyl wrapping it.
Removed the tank pads the other day to make way for new ones. Also picked up some Anakee 3 tires to replace the Shinko 705s that are on it now.

I've never been a fan of yellow vehicles ever since I owned a yellow 1970 Mercury Montego, but damn, I really do like the look of the yellow Super Tenere.

Nice bikes! I have a '23 like yours. Did you remove the back seat to install that bag? What make/model bag is that? What skid plate did you install? Thanks.

Very nice color scheme!! That "Yamaha" decal on the shaft drive system is a nice touch.
