Hmmm, now you are crossing that elusive line where you might just be upsetting someone Italian.

the Tenere is a big single it WILL vibrate.

if you find the throttle jerky:
- check chain tension (basic)
- check cush drive status (less basic but very do-able) ==>> http://www.xt660.com/showthread.php?...highlight=cush

Thank you for the reply, It goes without saying that I mean no ill to Italian people. Most of the workforce in the plant are not Italian to start with. lol

There are nations that excel at various things, The Italian design houses are THE best in the world. I don't think one could say the same thing regarding their motor history? Lol

In any case I am certain no Italian member will be upset as I am, in no way, personal with my comments. BTW if ever I do accidently offend a member please inform me so I may delete the post and make a 'repair' to any damage done, thanks.

Keep well,

Best,

Hi,

Sounds sound advice and as soon as I read up on what a 'cush drive' is I shall look at its status:icon_scratch:. I shall also have a look at the chain.:unibrow:
I did read that holding the handlebars tightly is a no no. On times I am a white knuckle driver around here! lol I make a postive effort to relax my grip now though.
As ever you are a mine of postive informaion and I thank you for passing it on.

Very best wishes to you and yours,

Ryland

No worries

Start with your fingers, just relax them while riding, before you know it your grip, arms, shoulders and whole body will naturally follow, once you get this the whole ride will be much much more enjoyable :applause:

Oh my word. Only ME. Talk about open mouth to change the foot.

Kindest regards and BTW this is being written while I am wearing Italian shoes. Hm hm
I also PROMISE to eat Pizza this evening to.:occasion14:

THAT may take a while but I am giving it my very best shot. Trouble is I don't trust car drivers in this country. I have also improved my car driving skills since taking yet again to two wheels! Seriously. I had no idea just how lapse I had become in a car.

I am an anxious rider and miss the air bags and seat belt etc lol lol. I truly don't fancy a contest with the tarmac. Still, what is life without some spice!
