My Oxford heated grips turned up today, so I've placed them carefully on the pillion seat of the S10. No idea when they'll get fitted...
What you did to your Tenere today??!!
- Thread starter biting_point
- Start date
Technically, I didn't do anything but play nurse to Dr. Combo.
He would say "hold this", and I would hold that.
The end result was a fresh Big Block on the back, and the 2014 clutch basket with the Barnett pressure plate.
Bruce (Combo) made it look easy. And I never broke a sweat in my support role. 8)
Rode home back to Alvin. Ok Ok, I now see what the fuss is all about. That's quite an improvement in refinement of this Big Box Of Rocks twin. On mine, with just short of 40,000 miles, it's pretty dramatic. In neutral, it was even noticeable, but it's intoxicating coming off the bottom. Whole different feeling. Love it.
This bike is still amazing to me. 3+ years of riding it and it just never fails to hit the passion button.

Yes, I remember that. I saw you nod your head!
Installed 2014 Clutch basket, CCT and flushed brakes and clutch.
After 3 years and 29K miles I figured it was finally time to start doing a little maintenance.

I will check it, thank you. There was some that spilled when it was changed.
What I did recently was trade for a new 2014 ES from my old 2012. ::025::

I changed the plugs and installed a fresh air filter. All-told about a 3 1/2 hour job, stopping to clean and wipe down as I proceeded. Getting the coil packs off the plugs was a bear...you don't have much room to grab on to them and get leverage. Plugs are relatively easy to get to.
One question....the most time-consuming chore was reconnecting the breather hose to the bottom of the air box. I swapped out the OEM clamp for a screw-type, as I could at least get the hose onto the breather tube, then work the clamp up the hose and tighten it. Does anyone have a decent method for doing this? It took me 45 minutes of struggling, cursing and generally not enjoying life.

One tip I can give you is I took the hose off at the crankcase end and installed the air box end first. Then I reconnected the crankcase end. Not as much of a PITA.racer1735 said:

It is a component that is failing on some pre-2014 Super Tens. Typically, you will hear some clicking on cold start-ups, which may go away after a little bit. The new tensioner has been redesigned for 2014, although some owners are replacing the factory CCT with a manually adjustable CCT. I had mine replaced at about 17000 kilometres with the 2014 factory tensioner (covered by my extended warranty.) So far, so good.pqsqac said:

CCT replacement not necessary until you start to hear a little clacking for a few seconds on start up. You usually have a lot of miles on your bike before this starts happening. In my case 40,000 miles. However I ended up trading for a new 2014 before I got around to replacing the CCT. If you don't hear it, don't worry about it.
