Technical threads are, as nikroc says often started many years ago, but they are sticky for one very important reason: they are still very relevant today!
You've got to remember that very little changed on the XT from 2004 (2008 for the Z) to 2016. Just about everything discussed prior to 2014 will apply equally to your 2014 bike.

It sucks cause it gets green and I have to drive off and also dangerous when I use the gas that it falls off.)

This is a common issue and simple to rectify. 99 times out of 100 it is down to the idle speed being set too low. Check it is north of 1400 rpm on a warm engine (I find 1450-1500 ideal). The XT motor does not (like all singles) care much for old, worn or incorrectly gapped spark plugs either. How 'fresh' is yours? Same applies to the air filter - how recently was it replaced/cleaned?

Kev doesn't own an XT anymore, but he is still VERY active! His mods (both of them) are bang up-to-date and have been continually updated over the years. Those listed currently (O2 Controller and Fuel Mod) are perfectly compatible with your 2014 Tenere. Buy them through the web site, ebay or Kev directly.
