Hi

Just got my 2012 Tenere in may, and Im putting on some decent tyres this week.
Ive never had a bike with ABS, so I thought Id ask if there is anything I should look out for or be beware of when I take off the wheels?

Btw, is there a manual for the 2012 somewhere, or is it a bit early yet?

The ABS is just an unbraco screw and you pull the sensor out. Nothing fancy. I don't see how you could damage anything.

In case you're wondering how to "turn" the ABS off later, I've done some research in the past, have a look here

Just be carefull when removing the ABS sensor ,my 1150 GS ones are shimed ,they need to be the correct distance away from the rotor

Cash remover eh??? Well to be honest most bikes fall into the same category but the main thing about those er BM thingies is that MOST of their riders seem to think that:
(a) They own the road,
(b) They know how to ride and
(c) We non BM folks should stay out of their way.
I just LOVE to bait them as in general they do not know the first thing about riding. They seem to think that having that blue badge means they are special. Wierd......

Your full of **** .I ride a BM and a tenere and also an old DR800.I don't think you should move out of my way I'll just ****in ride over you.this is the first BMW I have owned in my 30 years if biking and its a great bike .it will probably be worth the same as ipaid for it in2 years time don't judge a book by its cover if your on a bike I'll wave and stop and help.better to stick together than ****in moan about other bikers.

I see your in Rome when your banks fail after Spains I'll give you 100 euros for your bike.

As long as it's got two wheels and an engine it's cool by me - peace man

To be fair, it was two different people. I'm not sure it was abuse, just a bit of leg pulling, and perhaps a sense of humour failure.

Lets not let it escalate
