Tenere Mods
A few questions:
� To prevent damage to the Garmin terminals with an 'always live' connection, I plan to wire the system so it's only on with the ignition. Anybody already done this? I have the wiring diagram so should be able to work out. � LED Running lights and HID main/dip. Is there a recognised source for these? � Engine Oil - 10W 40 seems the stuff, semi synthetic I presume? � K&N Air Filter with Leo Vince pipes seems to be a good way to get the air in and out of the lump. Are there any better solutions? � Hand Guards - I was planning to fit Acerbis. Do I assume correctly, that I'll need to lose the bar end weights? � Braided brake lines - HEL seem the only supplier at the moment? � Oversized footpegs - looks like an adaptor is needed, so I can't jusy put on some WR ones. Touratech I guess? Thanks for any tips and words of wisdom..... |

The WR ones Mike has suggested are a good cheap option, the quality isn't great, but for �24 delivered they are a great value. At the other end of the price scale there are PivotPegz, niether need any adapters, just buy for the YZ or older WR's, they are the same (also the TTR600)

Great - Thanks guys.
I'll look out the old links, but I did RTFM and no sign of any advice so I'll check with Yamaha.. Good news on the footpegs and I'll probably go for the Talon jobbies.. I'm surprised that keeping the existing can is an option as it is so restrictive. Perhaps I'll look at a single can option with a fabricated link pipe and the PC with DNA filter. So much to do.... |

You can fit the KTM accessory wrap-around hand guards (the same ones you get on a 990A) and keep the original bar end weights if you like. They are very good value at around �40 pair, and surprisingly strong for an all plastic guard. Deep enough to keep the worst of the weather off too...

Whilst the tank was off, I hard wired into the rear light supply and earth - works a treat and leaves me the dash connector for something else should I need it.
Also took apart the regulator/rectifier connector and it was swimming having very lightly washed the bike. Considering the position of this connector, there is no protection from the elements and I'm not surprised some have failed. Dried out and with plenty of WD 40 a balloon was used to sleeve the join.. Will check it all again after a soaking. Last edited by enduro374; 08-08-11 at 11:36. |
