Attachment 6131

New panniers fitted!

Going for the minimalist look...

....not just look but actual size as well, don't even think one of those would take a pair of my pants, let alone a tshirt!!!

Hi Phil
Yep heavier but OK !!! thinking of smaller sprocket for the front off road , that lay down was your typical balls up !!! been over,under and in way worse places that day and was off'd by a CLUMP OF GRASS ..............legs not long enough :digging:

Went for a ride though Nanga Brook, the Ten was quite sure footed on WA peastone gravel (basically red ball bearings!)

Hi! Haven't posted on these forums for 3 years I think. Best place to ressurect is in the thread I once started I guess. Haven't driven much past years (good reasons, wife, kids, new house etc), but still have my beloved Ten. I have rewarded her for her hard work pulling me through mud and along adveturous roads with negliance though.. Found her a while ago out in the shed, and she looked like crap. Started ripping off things that was beyond repair and it wasn't much left afterwards.

Now I've restored some of the glory, most parts have been replaced and the machinery is in mint condition. Still lot to do but she can roll around with her head held high again. =)

Now I want to get rid of the turbulence, fix the scratches and missing parts that are left, get a new saddle (without the "bump"), maybe try some of the mods that this site is famous for and get out there again!

Your Tener� pictures thread
 

From the ashes rises a Phoenix! Good to see that you and the old girl are back on the road (and forum) again.

yeah and get that chain guide fitted!

good to see you back!

Will do! :023:

Nice to see your moto getting a good update.

(Stoic..

You still on for Merzouga in October?)

:)

Welcome back, Molgan!

Hey Dallas!

Got home from work today and the bike had more white paint on it.

Getting dark early up here now, reminds me that the summer season is over in a couple of weeks. +9C when riding to work this morning. =(

But looking forward to put on the studs and start island hopping over the ice! =)

Hi everyone. Just got my new baby here in Ethiopia, and looking forward to having lots of adventures around East Africa with her. Here is what I have added on the bike so far:

1. SW Mototech Crash Bar: Quite sturdy crash bars which go well with the bikes design and also protect the sides and the tank. The first thing I bought for my Ten.

http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps381ff1aa.jpg

2. Engine Guard And Center Stand: The steel engine guard was a must to replace the stock plastic one. The centre stand is fantastic to have, I dont need to say more...

http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps78b64344.jpg

3. Aluminium Chain Guard: I like aluminium

http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps1e730c61.jpg

4. Axle Protectors, front and rear

http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps71a64a6e.png

5. Bushguards: these are incredibly strong. Ive had a couple of falls and these things only came out with scratches..

http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...psceeb2fd4.jpg

6. Tank Pad Protection: For the tank bag....

http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps6a540ca1.jpg

7. Yamaha Side and Top Cases

http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...psa35b1a99.png

8. 12V Plug: Goos accessory to have. Can take up to 24W (but if you change the fuse that came with you can get a bit more out of it if needed)...

http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps245408a4.jpg

9. iPhone Waterproof case and Charger: Vital

http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...pse0b17e80.jpg

10. Healdight Protector Clear

http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps2681c63b.jpg

11. Givi Tall Windsceen: I'm not the tallest guy around. At about 174 cm, the wind was hitting my helmet above 100km/h, so I suppose the stock wind guard is simply too short.

http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps0b9ba9de.jpg

12. Gipro Gear Indicator: Just Because....

http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps13a92e29.jpg

13. Battery Charge Level indicator: If your going to add things to your bike that require power, you are going to want to keep an eye on the battery level. Its also a way a knowing that your dyno is working and charging the batt when the bike is running. Having no kick start, your batt is one the most precious things to take care of when on a trip...

http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...psc839c0d5.jpg

14. Sound System: I love music and need to listen to something while im cruising...Waterproof, with AUX to connect to your phone...

http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps69ad01ce.png

15. Heated Grips: for the colder climates. Got the heating pads for �5 and they work pretty well...good alternative to Oxfords expensive solution.

http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps824a6103.png

16. Added Headlights: I still can't get used to the lights not turning with the steering...so i came up with this solution..55W each halogen bulbs and bright as hell...I get noticed a lots easier on the road and they are amazing at night... really happy with them.

http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps7d4ab2ce.png

17. Extra Headlight and heated grips switches: Added switches to control my new toys .

http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps0d27449f.jpg

18. Dashboard View

19. My T�n�r�

http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps8a04a3cd.png


I would like to add a radiator guard. Im still looking for a strong enough grill to make it out of. Also a chain oiler maybe at some point. And as soon as I find time I'm cutting some foam form my seat to lower it a bit.


Overall, I am still getting used to this beast...but i can tell we are going to get along very well. Great bike. I wouldnt have chosen anything else ..

Well that's got to be a first on a Tenere! :partyondude:

Lol. possibly...:hb:

Nice...but you were sure you wanted a Tenere instead of a Goldwing or Beemer?

lol. just cause I want to listen to my iPod, your saying i should have gone for completely different bike?

Here's mine , only got it yesterday .
http://i42.tinypic.com/2ro2sno.jpg

Just waiting to hear that the top box is converted for a sub and some extra speakers in the sidecases. AC/DC is supposed to be LAUD !:YouRock:: :rockwoot: No wonder he need to keep an eye on the battery ;-)

hahaha...not a bad idea actually:eusa_think: lol

on a more serious note though, has anyone replaced the stock alternator/stator in the tenere? The current one produces a max 291W. A stock bike can consume a max of 280W (with radiator fan, high beams, blinkers etc in use). This potentially does not leave enough power to add anything really without draining the battery a bit. Anyone has any idea on this matter?
thx

Sev

:sign13: Ditch the halogen driving lamps, connect up the dip and high beams (so they both work on high beam), change to a pair of LED spot lamps and you will have found yourself another 90W to play with and still have more than ample lighting.

Here's a couple of mine on a 1,200 mile round trip to Scotland

Absolutely NO motorways.

Great fun, especially the bit where I got completely lost in Yorkshire for 6 hours!

A picture of my Tenere from this summer http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/08/padyradu.jpg

Bought it this summer and have drive it around 5500km

I could use a few switches like those in the cover behind the headlight.

Do you have a link for those switches ?
Are the waterproof and how deep are they ?

Do you have any info how exactly can I connect up the dip and high beam together? What kind of led spot lamp is recomended?
Since there is on e bay lots of cheap quality stuff.

Thanks!

g,day locky,can you tell me what type the high front gaurd is and where you got it. cheers charlie.
