The Yamaha Super Tenere XT1200Z Big Thread

I think the OEM shift lever is too exposed but I couldn’t find a foldable one, so finally I made one.
I use the standard one and add a Touratech folding ending from a BMW GS.
It works great.

nice

Fitted a Puig Dark tint screen to mine. Unable to road test it yet.

I made a cheap splash guard for the upper rear wheel area. Cut down a piece of an old trash can attached with some strategically placed tie wraps. NO, I have never owned a KLR.

Great idea. I just picked up some truck size mud flaps to make something for mine. I didn't think about using a trash can!

Beautiful bike! I almost bought the black, but since my last bike was black (DL1000), I went with blue!

I just traded my DL1000 on a 2012 S10. I LOVED my Strom, hoping I will like the S10 as much!:

omg this is beautiful, love the white, wish we had that option in the US!

I own a KLR and have been wanting to upgrade my Tenere with this splash guard. Can you tell me if the rear tire clears the splash guard with full compression? I was thinking corrugated plastic but your trash can sounds good.

Did you do this on Earth Day?

those figures seemed to be taken when traveling down hill....

And just for something different
yes, I march to the sound of a different drummer

That 1 in 527 grade will do it every time.

You are right. the opposite direction I only managed 4.5085388994 L/100Km

Of course I always take lab grade measuring equipment with me at all times.

I couldn't stand the temptation. I'm posting that in the WTF thread.
Thank you Bob and your drummer.

I didn't think the black ones could do that.

Not sure how you even get close to 4.5 / 100km... The lowest i got was 5.5/100 while breaking her in - means easy riding up to 4000revs max, once the ODO hit 1000km and the revs could ho slightly higher - there went my 5.5...


Ride hard, die free

It's got 9000Km on it, and I was taking it easy. It's half broken in now.

Yes I checked it five times like I did the first time I got that mileage. The Strom could only ever manage 5.5 at best but usually 6L/100km. On bulldust strewn desert roads I only ever managed 7.8L/100.

I think the Strom likes having it's legs, where the S10 is best at the lower revs. I am sort of trying to get an idea what it will do out in the desert. So I am doing a few things to try and get an idea where it's most economical. It can come in handy out there.
