Looks great, I like the look of the wheel rims in white. I'm envious of your mechanical abilities, I just end up bolting TT stuff on.

I was considering upgrading my Ten to a KTM 990adv R, as I find myself doing more and more metalled roads and very little dirt. Are you still happy with the Ten? Don't you miss the KTMs power?

I do not miss KTM power at all. On terrain it is strog enough to spin, so no need for much more. But I ride alot on dirt. If I would ride more on asphalt, traveling in two, and more long distance, than I would prefer KTM 990, as I had before Tenere.

Ni3ous, your bike looks really good, you do good work.

Good pictures there and its seems you have been busy

20 kilos lighter? Whoa, than my hard enduro mates, would eat my dust constantly :P

Hello!

So far I am using original air filter on Tenere XT660Z, but its time to change it.
I intended to buy DNA since its cheaper and has better air flow than K&N.
But I ride offroad alot, and sometimes in dusty conditions. (especially problem when group riding)
So now i am thinking to buy an OTR foam air filter. But I am not sure what would be the right decision.
Can you explain pros and cons of using different (original one "paper", DNA, or foam filter) air filters on Tenere XT660Z ?
I cant find any good explanations about this.

I am also interested in snorkel removal, but I think I have too much dirty offroading, and dirt will get in. If not when riding, than when I high pressure clean it. After my last ride, I removed seat, and there was a lot of dirt on snorkel, If I hadnt have snorkel, dirt would be in the airbox.

Thanks for answers.

Hi, I suggest this one: http://www.uniflow.com.au/contents/en-us/p5598.html. It is the original filter for the Tenere in Australia.

Hello!
Thanks for reply.
I ordered it yesterday on Touratech!
Your answer gived me another confirmation, I ordered the right stuff.

Will report about the change and the feel.

nice work Ni3ous, I wish I had tools/place/skill to work on my bike like you! keep up the good work and take pictures, i like the picutures and simple explanation :)

Thanks Joseph.
I have some work to do this weekend for Tunisia preparation, so I will make some report out of it.
