I have a bog standard tenere and might have a play with it but i do not want to mess up the MPG in any way as i use it everyday for a long commute.

I get a lot of surging when cruising around 4k and wonder if a mod will fix it?

I have tried to go the the Kev mods section on this site and it says i am not allowed.

Any ideas please.

Hi Mike,

I've just installed the two Kev Mods to my Ten, you can read about them here:

In short, the single greatest thing you can do for your bike is to install the O2 sensor mod. Will smooth out all your low-end.

The next step will be to swap the air filter and cover, let a lot more air in.
For this, you'll need the Kev Fuel Mod so you can adjust the A/F mix properly.

Then, you'll want to do something with the exhaust to let all that gas out again!

Follow that with the cush drive rubber mod and a properly tensioned chain, and you'll have yourself a bike that can tickle along at 30mph but responds properly to acceleration, roars through the gears and doesn't stop pulling til about 115mph!

Estimated increase of about 6 bhp... and I only spent about �200... Beautiful!

Hope this helps,

Steve.
