I almost put mine in the raised position back in January, but just turned the grip heaters on instead.

Let the guy wear his deflectors. Judgemental pricks
yes... maybe I shouldn't have done it, the problem is that he is not a simple "guy"... it's like telling to the “Boss” that he is wrong, he can press the "DEL" button and leave you outLet the guy wear his deflectors. Judgemental pricks

I flushed the cooling system, yamaha coolant refilled. This is the easiest bike ever for that little job.

I think the wings can go either way.
Its like do you wear your belt buckle below the belly button or above the belly button. Each to their own, personally I prefer mine below the belly button thank you...LOL

yes, the aerodynamic difference is probably minimal… but the design of the casing makes it seem like there is only one way to put it….

I installed the deflectors as shown below. The curve at the top seems to scoop the air and force it downward.

And yet the pictures portray two different installations.
How to destroy a perfectly good Super Tenere.
Just drive it into the side of a family van that is going 55 mph! I did this boneheaded move on Saturday, spent the night in Ocala Florida trauma center. Completely my fault, no excuses. Thankfully my wife was not riding pillion this day. Thankfully the young lady driving the van was able to...

y'know - The bike came with them that way, they seem to work, so I never questioned whether they might be backward or not.
Interesting.
Buyer can change it however he/she wants.
The windscreen is mounted on rubber well nuts to pop off if you go forward so having something metal bolted in place would make me a bit nervous.
Since I sent a link, maybe what I meant to say is not well understood… but since I see that this windshield support is not the OEM…..and seeing the metal part so high…..I do not want those tips to enter through under the helmet and get stuck in the throat, before the plastic support that holds the entire trunk of the motorcycle, breaks

My 25,000 mile 2021 S10 ES was beginning to feel pretty soft with the rear suspension. I’ve had it set up for two people and luggage for my rides even though it’s just me and a tail trunk most of the time. Plus, it was becoming more difficult to place on the center stand.
Having read about Lust Racing rear +20mm suspension links, I ordered a set seven weeks ago….they finally arrived via the slow boat from England today and were installed in less than 20 minutes. The bike now sits as it should and doesn’t sag nor does the bike sit almost vertical on the side stand.
I went for a fifty mile ride and after a couple of miles reset the electronic suspension to rider only….no luggage. It felt great on this setting with the damping set to soft. It is a huge improvement and now gives me adequate adjustment for the times I do have luggage and/or a passenger. The links were about $110.00 shipped to me.
I have read where several riders have complained about the too soft rear shock spring…..this slightly shorter link set is a quick fix that doesn‘t require dismantling half the rear of the bike to install a new, heavier rated spring.

Finally changed out the 6yr old OE Yuasa. It still cranked "ok", but my Optimate 3+ was going into desulfate mode on a daily basis. Went the cheap route and bought from our local Batteries, bulbs, and More since they had a 15% off sale. Oddly enough the 14S was $15 cheaper than the 12S. I hooked up the Optimate to it and it showed 80%+ charge. I'm gonna let it charge to 100% before I crank it. Not expecting any drama though. The Yuasa 14S was listing, around here, anywhere from $170 -$247. If I get 3yrs out of this one, I'm breaking even. If it goes longer, even better.
You'll be very happy with that battery. It will crank it nicely and last way more than 3 years. I was going to get one today but the local batteries + didn't have any in stock. I ordered a scorpion LiFePo instead and it will be here soon. My last X2 lasted 9 years in my CBR 1100XX Super Blackbird.

Ok, so I guess my battery was in worse shape than I thought. Definitely an audible difference when it cranks now. Sounds stronger, screen doesn't go blank, and it starts quicker. Now, I'll just see how long it lasts.

Received email from Revzilla saying I qualified for a $15 off promotion so ordered a new set of Dunlop TrailMax Mission tires for the Tenere, $386.01 delivered.
