+1. I use a Seal Mate. It works great... Much better than replacing seals that don't need replaced.carrot said:
How much did it cost to ship it back to the US?Tsimmons said:After 80 odd days on the road from Georgia, USA to Ecuador I put my 2014 Tenere in a box and on a truck......Headed back home......100% reliable - changed tires, changed oil and filter.... ride and repeat.

Right now.. It's up to $1200 Quito to Miami - sea freight. I am wimping out and having a truck bring it to my house in Georgia so probably another $600.Rockhopper said:
No there really isn't a fee to temporarily import the bike other than a couple of bucks for paperwork (if I remember right - it was really easy to enter). There wouldn't be a fee if I drove it out. Ecuador doesn't take a bond like mexico. It really has to do with the shipping and laws related to the export by a third party it seems.Don in Lodi said:
Yep, you'll need that list to tell them what to remove from your old bike. That stuff has zero value to the dealer. And some of it might actually bring the trade in value down if it's changes from oem stock configuration. They don't want to have to explain why your used bike has flashers or flash to pass and the other used, (or new), bike doesn't.tomatocity said:
I remember when I asked if they had a loaner I could use. : ) ) Me too. I usually like to respect copyright. I buy my music and movies, but I'm going to be a hypocrite and keep this service manual.Bryce said:Nowhere near as cool as shipping your bike home from some far off land (pretty damn awesome, by the way)... I did my first service on my bike tonight. I picked up a service manual from an online store, but I suspect it's not a legit copy :
Agree... The Ohlins rear shock, does not transfer. The BMS seats are a trade. SPS forks stay. Windshield does not transfer. Heated grips stay. Tech Spec tank pads stay. SAE connector stays. Bags Connection tank bag mount will be removed. Other stuff is being discussed.EricV said:Yep, you'll need that list to tell them what to remove from your old bike.

Besides, they won't give you much for that old junker.
You'll take less of a hit if you strip the farkles off yourself and collect them for use on the new bike, then sell the old bike when it gets fixed. Still more outlay up front though, that's for sure.
Great to see you getting a new bike.tomatocity said:
