Hi guys, yesterday i went to pick up the bike. Must say that prior to the workshop i never felt some kind of rubbing or any weird noise coming from the steering even parked at silent night in the garage, there were not hints of a troubled steering apart from when running.

Now after bearings replacement and generous greasing, i can say the bike is a completely different bike, behaves light as feather and feels very good.

I have found the steering issue in many threads and i have been told by mechanics that they have worked on many teneres suffering from dry bearings not only in the steering but inside the weels and swing arm too. It seems like Yamaha is very mean with grease, in fact they said many bikes have come completely dry with no lub there.

I recommend to you tenere people to have a look at your steering and put grease there.

In the other hand i could not find the electrical issue, i will deeply check it on weekend.

Best and thanks for all those nice inputs. Xt660. com is a must for all of us and i believe i can no travel without keeping connected to this forum.
