To be fair i have beat my Tenere severely for the past 6years. All weathers and all terrain. It made a bit if a name for itself with the ride leaders at the touratech travel event being hugely suprised at its off road prowess. And its roar
I allready spoke too my powdercoat guy. Amd hes gnna dip it get rid if tje original paint. Then vapoyr blast the are as its much more gentle than shot blasting and then give it me back. Ill do the rust treatment just in case then repair.
Then primer powdercoat yellow (I like yellow 😁
and then im going too underbody seal/waxoil/tetrosyl all around the oil tank to be triple sure this doesnt happen. As pulling my bike in bits with the sun blazing is depressing too say the least.
I will not let my Ten buy the farm though.......... Im not done riding it yet. Has anyone else checked theirs too see if they have corrosion around oil tank. Seems a prime place. Nice and warm and constantly wet from water getting to it via the "tunnel"
