Hi

Just been cleaning the Tenere...which i hate!! hate cleaning all bikes but the Ten is a pain, so many nooks and crannies! anyway....now that ive had it a while i started to notice a few little things that i would like to rectify before they get worse.

1) ive noticed the frame is starting to wear from my boots rubbing up and down it, might get some frame protectors. think they just zip tie on?? any experience of these?

2) took the grey side pannel things off and noticed the paint on the tank is starting to flake off, i dont care because its behind the grey plastic thing.BUT...i dont want it to get worse....any advice??





3) when taking the plastic side things off that cover the bottom half of the tank, the insert came out with the screw. are these just glued in?



4) my knees rubbing against the tank is starting to mark it (cant see in picture mind you). i know people put that clear plastic sticker type stuff on...but as mine has the "tenere decal" in place, will this still work? im worried it will just look ****e. also, if it doesnt work and i take it off will it wreck the decal? its marked on and above the "T", and on and above the "E".



oh and also...this isnt a question...just a moan. took the front sprocket cover off today, and that "c" shaped metal bracket that sits behind it. can i put it back on????.....CAN I ******!what an awkward job!

Thanks
