Thats interesting mine is a new 2014 model I wonder if they have uprated the springs? The chain tension i have set is very loose with no wieght on the bike and with wieght on the bike there is just 45mm slack so it isnt bowstring tight when loaded. I recently sat on a KTM 690 enduro at a dealers and this bike was much softer than my tenere. the rear shock on mine has a integral resevoir attached to it with the name SACHS on it. I assume this is normal?
