XT1200Z: The new WaspWorks Super Tenere, in detail and the evolution

[iconman]

I always check to see what you are up to with the bike and the mods you are doing.

Hopefully you can make it to Kev's on the 6th?

I'm flat out with work and home jobs for the foreseeable future but hopefully be able to fit in a ride soon.

Cheers, Richard.

No, not away Javier. I dont use this thread so much now as it got too long and convoluted.
The new thread "The "LONG TERM" WaspWorks Super Tenere, in detail and the evolution - Part 2"
is over in the "Beasts" section where it belongs: http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=778809

Greg.

P.S - looks like you guys had a great ride.. Well done.

This is where the molded ridge on the underside of the K&N filter seals against the rubber sealing ring inside the lower part of the air box.

WHERE DO YOU GET THIS SILICONE GREASE YOU SPEAK OF?...

What brand? Rocol?

Ahh, sorry Graham. This is the silicone grease you were asking about in a p.m...?
Barge bought this along to home when we were installing the filters and I am not quite sure what bran or where he got it from..

I'm slowly catching up on this thread....but thanks to post #753 (New exhaust without baffles) I've got to take time to go change my underwear!

I've put 1400 miles on my new Tenere in 2 weeks!! Great bike!

I know what you mean. I got over 12,000 in 4 months

3.Place an oil pan under the oil tank to collect the used oil.
4.Remove the engine oil filler cap, the drain bolt and its gasket to drain the oil from the oil tank.

the crankcase.

I'm not clear from the manual how the oil tank is set up, but from the pics it looks like it's under the engine. Can someone confirm?

Sorry to pollute an old thread that is no longer in beasts and now in the vendor section but I just had to.
The first part of number 4 should always be the first thing you do.
If for some reason it is stuck, Broke, Cross threaded and you can't get it out you will have a motor with no oil in it.
Sorry Wasp for the hijack
Don't ask why I know this.

WOW... That was nearly two years ago - How time fly's.
Thing certainly have changed since then. Still loving this bike.

Looking great Greg. This could be the prototype of a more dirt-oriented version from Yamaha itself.

Hi Greg,
Thanks a lot for an awesome thread. Very clear photos and explanations
I am riding a DL 650 for 6 years and I was thinking that XT1200Z is the best choice to replace such a great bike. Your thread helped me a lot and now I am completely sure that this will be my next bike very shortly.

[umitc]

Very good decision mate.

The HealTech not only give you the ability to correct the speedo reading, mine was 7% fast, it also corrects the odometer so you are not racking up depreciating kilometers or miles unnessacarily.

I'm going to fit Greg's SpeedoHealer and Gear Indicator next week when I fly home, and after fitting mine with a few HELP! emails to Hungary it is a simple installation process.

Greg, if you feel this post is clogging your thread, have it removed or sent to another location.

Here we go.



























And prest, when it connected, there is a very simple process to follow that shows you if it is correctly installed, then a simple programming sequence to follow once you have calculated your speedo's error. Prior to install I used my GPS for the calculation, you can use a dyno or any other means of finding your true reading, an expensive method is a speeding ticket if you know where the needle was pointing at the time of radar waves bouncing off your helmet.

HELP!!!!
I just Installed the GiPro as per instructions. The whit cable soldered to the left ECU plug blue cable and the geen cable soldered to the grey right ECU plug. I did not plugged the GiPro at the extension cable. I tried to start the bike and a clic sounds close to 30 amp the ABS Motor Fuse and the bike does not start. I tried several times and the same. Before the intervention the bike was starting immediately. The bike almost new, 2000 miles. I took away all the cables I installed and the problem remains. All fuses are OK.
My apologies for my english. I am from Chile, South America.
Thanks in advance, Martin Schneuer

So much money spent on this it seems a bargain.
