What you did to your Tenere today??!!

[Boris]

To empty the coolant reservoir, I took the spray thingy out of a bottle like this, put the straw end in the reservoir and sprayed it out. Took a few mins. There are better/easier pump thingys, but I had to make do with what I had.

On the coolant drain, here's a helpful tip:
Use a piece of duct-tape to make an extended drain-channel off of the water-pump.
Just stick it on under the drain bolt, and you won't dribble coolant down under the engine, on the exhaust, or any skid-plate you may have.

Stay away from Volar brake pads. Shortest life I've ever experienced. 8000 miles and they were at less than 10% life.

Hey, I'm your riding partner too.

Yes you are! I just have a hard time keeping up with you!

Since I put her down in some mud yesterday, I decided she needed a wash. So this is probably the cleanest Marge has ever been.

PA inspection. Needed a headlight.
Replaced the 12v plug socket with a dual USB quick charge port with a built in voltage meter.
Also left the key on and drained the battery...d'oh!

Like the look for the storage box behind the pannier rack. Can you give details on make and where that equipment can be purchased?

Received my Chinese kickstand expander yesterday, so I installed that today. Not bad for 18 dollars: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KR9F8XR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Replaced the 3 year old battery with a YTZ14S . Cranks faster then the old battery and was only $10 then YTZ12S.

After losing a spoke from the rear wheel and scratching the swingarm to rat shit I limped the bike home and re-checked all.
I just checked them a few weeks ago and now had to order a spoke kit ($150 cdn) to replace one.
Not a happy camper right now.
Where is the Macallans?!

upgraded to lithium, it will add at least 50 hp and 50t at the wheels. Weight is at 1/3of the gel battery.

We have a seller here that has taken upon himself to break up spoke sets for us. He'll sell you a set of the three different sizes and color code them for location. Oldrider is a great guy to have around.

What did you use for the USB port, where did you buy it? Is it plug n play or wire looping required? I should do this to my red ‘15

Have you contacted forum member "oldrider". He had spokes for sale just the other day.

EDIT: Doh!! I didn't read far enough or pay enough attention, and missed Don's post. Ooops.

Would you happen to know the CCA on that particular lith batt?
