Hello viewers, I recently purchased a 2012 Tenere. Most of the negative issues with the bike can be sorted or lived with but I'm having trouble coming to terms with the heat coming from the engine whether stationary or blasting down the highway. I've done Kevs suggestion of wrapping the headers with exhaust wrap which helped a little.
The heat is so hot the inside of both legs gets too hot and you have to move your legs very wide to cool them down.
I've done the 02 and fuel mod and air filter stage 1 & 2 but no change.
Something odd is the coolant in the radiator is green but the overflow bottle coolant is pink....hmmm?
I tested the thermo fan by going direct to power and it works. Never have heard it come on while the bikes running though. Also the temperature light has never come on. Maybe I should get a temp gauge to see exactly where it runs.
Assuming these bikes have a thermostat I guess that should be checked next.
Would love some feedback as to how your Z's run. Admittedly I live in a fairly warm climate in Australia but I also know this is not normal.
Cheers
Brad
