PLEASE help.
Just tried to fit the PC111. Took me hours. I am furious so will write the minimum possible for fear of writing something I shall regret tomorrow. Needless to say it was FAR from 'simply undoing a few bolts and lifting the tank so I could get my hand under'. I have small hands and not even I could shift that bloomin plug from the injector. Took hours.
Started the bike and no go. On the tacho' there is a key with a red light above it. This flashes and will not go out? Bike tries to start but will not. Now The totaly inappropriate useless instructions I was sent is for a 2004-2007 Yamaha XT660R. NOT the Tenere. I DO understand they may well have the same engine BUT BUT BUT the wiring is NOT the same, the frame is not the same so what good are the instructions? May as well as been for a BMW series 3! I could find nothing that looked like the 'TPS' Connector in the diagram supplied. Now, toward the front of the bike high up under where the tank sits is a connector that took the supplied fitting bot DID NOT look like the TPS in the drawing supplied? Sorry, I am angry, so need to moderate my tone. What adds insult to injury is the instructions say " Install the power commander in the TRUNK using the supplied velcro. WHAT trunk? Can any of you guys or galls please assist me in finding this "TPS CONNECTOR", what worries me is what I have fitted this plug to? Any pictures would be very much appreciated. Look if it costs a few euro to get the correct info I will gladly mail a cheque. The instructions supplied are as usful as boobs to a nun. Excuse my course language I have back ache that would down a camel. Again I write PLEASE help I am stuck with a bike I can't use and cant ride to a dealer to fit for me? I simply detest these performances where all is so simple yet the instructions and diagram don't match the bike? I ask you what good is that? Thank you for your kind asistance. Ryland |
Well its now early morning and the sun is due up in an hour. Spent all night bashing away at the bike.
I found a thread here that showed where the TPS is, its just tightly in front of the air box. Was hell to remove the old plug add fitting the new one. Had to remove the crash bars and side plates and the dogs food bowl, lol. Can now report have completed the task and the bike started. Much to late, or early for a test drive and my dearest has now told me to sleep in the spare room whats left of the night! Dog house for me! Boy oh boy is this bike bug getting to me again, I'm simply too old for this sugar. Tell you what if I can't tell the difference later in the day to the performance I shall be driving the bike straight up some ones trouser leg! lol. Best wishes to one and all. Ryland |

I thought only the PC V was compatible with the Tenere ... but I may be wrong (and certainly is obviously)
As I wrote before, I think you are trying to do too much, too fast. Take your time, document yourself and I would recommend: - not starting a work on the bike late in the day, but preferably early (shops opened, help available, clear mind, ...) - get all the documentation before and read it thouroughly several time (including workshop manual, owner manual, part documentation) - before unplugging anything and installing a new part, verify that you know what is where and how. Make sure that anything you do can be undone/fixed. - search the forum for identical work carried and read the threads to benefit from other users experience. - using a explicit title for your threads like : Where's the TPS conenctor on a Tenere or - Trouble fitting Power Commander on Tenere. "please help" doesn't help anyone and will not make your thread easy to find for future reference. Think that your threads should also help others and be easy to find. - searching before starting a new thread: Watch this http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/posting As you said, you've been away from bike for a long time. I would humbly recommend familiarising yourself with riding the bike and carrying basic maintenance before attempting performance modifications. aka: chain/sprocket care, oil/filters replacements, suspension settings, brake maintenance. The bike in its standard clothes fits 95% of its users. Including some very advanced riders. The bike has been built by engineers and I believe that engine modifications should only be performed by informed professionals. I personally do all my work on the bikes on saturday mornings and I'm done by sundown. I do not always manage to do everything I planned, but I make sure that I have time to stop/re-assemble/get the bike running before sundown. Then there's always the day after or the next w-e to complete the work. but that's only my 2cents. |

Good advise :coffee2: |
I hope you realize once you start modding you won't be able to stop.

I agree with Kev!!!!

Start early and if you aint done by early evening walk away, go and have a beer and torment the wife. Continueing to work on the bike results only in spanners bouncing off walls and raised blood pressure. THERES ALWAYS TOMMOROW. . . . . . . . . . ALWAYS :unibrow: |
nah start late and finish early much more fun race for the last bits of light then spend hours searching for lost parts in the dark give up and do it all again in the morning:seasaw:
