The Yamaha Super Tenere XT1200Z Big Thread

Yep, waiting for some enterprising individual to knock them off in abs plastic.

I recognize those wheels.

I hope you sold them at a good price..

Had to look up Peachins. I've never been to that area of PA, next week will be my first visit. Luckly I have $5 and like burgers, might just to head over...

Colors changed on the 2013 Teneres? If they dropped black, what color's fastest now? Thanks. I gotta BIG problem with my S10--stinkin snow. Skiing gets boring.

Here comes my first post on S10 thread. Hi there

Looks like a typical "Blue" Tenere to me.

RUN! Get out while you still can.

Still here? Well, welcome and we cannot be held responsible for the actions or comments
of Tenere owners.

No, but I do think they made Woody's Wheels first quarter profitable.

It's ok. I've learned how to deal with them on s10 site.
Just don't tell them "sky is black" and everything will be ok.

Sick puppies these folks are. Run while you still have a chance. Otherwise you may just hear the refrains from "Hotel California".

im picking one up. 40000 miles in 11 months. reliable as hell, no issues. but for the $379 the warranty will cost i will have piece of mind for the next 4 years. this bike is so sweet im gonna keep it for a while. 1 real issue and the $379 pays for itself.

Owning a SuperTenere is so boring.. no drama... no reason to try to keep up with the latest issues... I never have to put the bike on the center stand and check for rear wheel wobble like I used to with my previous 12GS.

Check out the fun that you can have:

$850 to fix the FD at 40K miles... and he's happy it didn't cost more

Dang, I think that is reason enough to sell my S10. Who wants to hear stories about riding it, when talking about mechanical nightmares and repair costs are so much better!

Or, if I want to keep my S10, I can always subscribe to pluric's reality TV series to escape the boredom (when I'm not riding that is).

They look really nice!

It's just piece of mind as Sallydog said I suppose. No one has had the bike for 5 years yet, so it may very well pay off for very little money.

I'm working in it. Not going to be reality based. More a series of hypothetical events and how
Tenere owners would deal with them if they ever had to.

Based on true events, just not Yamaha related. Episodes will include,

Clutch failure 1,500 miles from home.
My water pump ain't pumping. Help!
FI, it's not for every bike.
Final drive is on it's final ride.
My subframe is looking for a good welder.
The chain is being a pain.
How much oil pressure is too much?
I'd like to change my own oil, but I only have 6 hours.
ABS, Always Broke System.

There may be a few Tenere episodes.....

OMG! My bike cranked more than twice before starting.
Will I get slapped for snugging up some nipples?
Today I found my wheels not round.
I hit a bump and lost my sump.
When I get some cash, I'll do the reflash.

Meeting with some cable execs this week. I don't think I will be able to do
anything with the black Teneres do to even cable not being ready for
such a controversial subject. Sorry DaFoole.

hay pluric,that you just got out of bed? Hope you put your wig on before you tape your Tenere reality show(maybe use the glue yamaha uses to keep the decals on black Teneres?). Lookin forward to it(wig & show). Maybe put the blue paint back on too.
