Well, I got my license last September; from July to September, for approximately 1500 kms , I rode an XT125R.
:smilies0119: heheheheheeheh
I don't know how I have been obsessed with the Tenere, but I have drove to
Bursa (one of the real crowded roads) and replace it with the Tenere. It was a pleasant experience for me; especially when I first had to stop and realized that, Tenere is much more heavier, trying to lean left and I can not hold it.
:sign5:
Anyway, I park my Land Rover and Tenere at a fancy open car park at the Bosphorus. There is a good collection of tools behind my LR (guess why).
I do everything on them there in the car park.

Is there a link for the manual??

By the way, does bicycle tire tube repair patches; do they work well with the motorbike tubes. I don't have spare tubes with me and planning to patch the
tires, in case I have a flat one.

Go here: http://www.xt660.com/site/ and there are instructions on how to get the manual.

It's great you've got an LR and a parking lot, I have neither! The Tenere is my only mean of transportation and my street is my garage.

About tires, I don't know, but may be you want to start a new thread on it, since we have sort of hijacked the thread here :)

Thanks for the link; I will get one as soon as possible
You are lucky than; in reality the best LR is your friend's LR.
ehehehhehehheh
Thanks for the help.

Yeah bicycle patches should work but when you get the chance put some slime in the tubes it will help been discused here better than getting a puncture on the :tenere:

Patches do work, As for the slime when the bike has sat for a while the slime settles in the lower part of the tube. this causes a kind of wobble until the slime has time to coat the tube again. I used to carry a front heavy duty tube on my WR450 it will fit both the front and back in an emergency. If you have to fix a puncture your gonna have to take the wheel off so you may as well just carry a tube in case. I have changed my front tube in 20 minutes, it takes a little time to get it right to begin with but when you are changing tubes every ride you soon get good at it. Once i pick up the new bike i will carry a spare tube in the panniers and 4 tyre irons. Good luck

Oh and back to point what is the outcome of the exhaust wrapping ?
