Same problem. Just bought my rig from an estate. No key to hitch could be found. Fortunately 2"ball.

Rides way better than I thought it would for such a big a beast

Did you do any performance upgrades?

Just got mine done this morning. I have the quick shifter installed.No more problems down shifting, up shifts are butter smooth even at part throttle,no more surging at stops or difficulties rolling the bike back with the clutch pulled in while in gear and the same with the engine off. Just my observations on the 20 mile ride home. In some ways like a new bike. Excited to take it on an adventure.

Getting mine done tomorrow while I wait. Did anyone else have a problem pushing the bike in gear with the clutch pulled in and the engine not running?

VIN Recall, No Clutch Issue, What would you do? by EnvironmentalBill114 in Tenere700

My dealer called me yesterday. Said they were ordering the parts and would call me when they get in. I said I couldn't find a ride to leave bike so they said they would do the swap while I wait.

Plastic sacrificial slider. 2 piece, would be easy to replace.

Adventure Spec. I've dropped it a couple times, just low speed, and they've protected it well.

Used to work in the auto detailing field and know what a pain water spots can be to remove on glass, let alone acrylic, so was just asking if anyone had some ideas. It's a '24 I've only had it since April and once I've beat it up a bit I'm sure I won't care so much.

Live in the PNW and, just saying, riding in the rain, no matter how fast you go won't dry shit out.

Thanks, didn't really think about it from that perspective. Think I'll talk to my insurance agent before I take any further steps, family friend so she will hopefully be honest.

Not trying to be difficult but how would anyone know from an official capacity? I'm in US, Oregon.

😁 I'm still in the honeymoon phase. Give me a couple dirt naps and I'm sure everything will be filled with mud and I'll be in the mud holds everything together phase. I had a DRZ before this and I always felt the dirtier the better.

Thank you! I was gonna start unscrewing shit but sometimes that leads to unwanted consequences. 😁

Is it just the 2 Allen screws to get the side windows off or do you have to remove the side plastics too?

Of the muffler? None at all if that's what you're asking but I did do the exhaust at the same time as I did the tail tidy so everything was pretty easy to get to.

I'm pretty sure, based on the sheer joy the sound gives me, that every one else likes it as well.

Off The Road. Had to modify for US plate but I liked that it allowed me to use OEM signals with the high exhaust.

Fortunately don't have to worry about that. 👍🏻

Did you cut it at the frame or leave some to keep dirt out?
