Sorry to offend the tenere chaps

It occurred to me that might have been what happened! Mind you I like the orange XTX colour scheme and reckon it would suit the Tenere well.

Its a shame really because its a real blast to ride, but the cutting out does seem to happen at the most inopportune moment.

In conjunction with a healthy 1500rpm tickover, a good fresh correctly gapped spark plug will also help a lot too. I always replace mine annually as a matter or course. All the singles I've had have been very temperamental at tickover and closed throttle with even slightly worn plugs.

From what I read the diagnostic screen will give a read out of the rpm...

You're right - Adjust tickover mechanically on side of throttle body and check rpm through dash diagnostic screen.
