What state is the rest of the bike in ?? paint off the engine ,rusty spokes ? i"ve seen bikes at 10K look rough .Have you a few pics would be interesting to see what bits fall apart first :017:

It doesn't look that bad for the mileage. I'll try to take some pics tomorrow.

thanks

Without looking at the manual to check
 

Are you sure that it is an electronic thing that stopped speedo?

I thought the rev counter was a thick film pickup from the high voltage pulse on the high tension lead.

BUT

The speedo source was gear box driven, ie a gear drives to a little box on the left side that is transfers the drive to a pulse that went to the display. So if the gear is stripped or the convertor isn't working your km' or miles won't change.

Pics at last!

@Wootonboy: The speedo (or trip meters) haven't stopped working. Just the odometer - which has clearly just maxed out. Evidently Yamaha didn't expect the Tenere to last beyond 199,999 kms.

looks good ,you wouldn"t think it had that mileage

TBH, I guess it's had a relatively easy life - despite the mileage.
I'm mean; how else would a single cylinder trail bike still have the original clutch and cylinder bore? :mbounce:

:gay: (me on the throttle??)

Good oil and plenty of changes...that's how?

:)

Regardless, no-one can argue against the mighty max-out. It's a credit to your operational skill, and to Yamaha/Minarelli for giving you a decent-enough bike to do it on.

Having said that, I doubt whether mine will go that sort of distance, as it's (comparatively speaking) rattled like a tin can from new. According to Yamaha, they're all like that... But not.
