New XT660Z Tenere Owner in Sweden
Hi,
I bought a Tenere last week, a 2008 with only 1563 miles (2517km). My Tenere is wonderful to drive, i have only been on asphalt roads and been driving only 434miles (700km) so far. A day ago my Tenere suddenly stopped working... so i had to bring home my bike in a trailer... When I was looking for tips on the internet I found this forum :-) Thanks to reading threads on this forum about regulator problem i could guide my dealer to make a complete solution and not only replace the regulator. One of the pins on the connector and regulator has melted together and are burnt. The only good thing is that Yamaha Sweden has put a 5 year warranty on this model and this error is covered by this extended warranty ... so now waiting for my dealer to bring home a complete new harness (I think you guys calls it Loom in the threads) with the upgraded connector and a new regulator. They ordered the items today.... Will unfortunately probably take a few weeks before I'm out on the road again ...

Valkommen.
Ah, the dreaded Rectifier problem, the Achilles Heal of the Tenere.
Still, at least it's getting fixed for you.

Hello everybody!
I have also bought � Tenere 2008 this year with only 7000km on the recorder. Now, 4000km off the roads..... the regulator has been broken!! Just as I was going on a holiday trip with � group of 35 offroaders, driving the most beautiful and dirty offroads here in Sweden! Im not happy right now.... 
My Ten is on service, and I just have to wait until Yamaha confirm its � warranty case and sending � new regulator to my service dealer! :'( It sounds like this is � common problem on the Ten? Is there anything I can do to avoid this problem in the future? Or is the replacement regulator � better one!? Last edited by xphase; 04-10-12 at 21:57. |
