Motoz Tractionator Rallz Tires For Tenere 700 Many riders seeking improved off-road performance vs the oem Pirelli STRs are going with the Motoz Tractionator Rallz tires in oem   90/90-21 54 TT front  & 140/80 18 TT  vs the oem  150/70 18 70 TL rear size.   RideAdv, a tour company with a fleet of T7s in Australia, along with many others, have been successfully running a Pirelli Scorpion Rally 140 rear size on the oem MT 4.00" safety/tubeless rear wheel.  Most adopters of the 140 rear vs the 150 oem size are motivated by improved off-road performance, higher speed rating, less weight &  cost.  Noted trade offs are that the 140 width tire is ~ 0.55" or 14 mm taller with a diameter of 681 mm vs the 150 667 mm (check for clearance with the oem shock/swing arm plastic mud flap), noisier, less proficient on the road & may unseat the bead with low tire pressures due to it's narrower bead spacing & sometimes softer carcass when used ...

Tenere 700: Throttle Body Sync Procedure

Tenere 700 Throttle Body Sync Procedure At 12k km it was time to check my 2021 Tenere 700's throttle body sync, which I suspect is out a little, as the bike is no longer quite as smooth as it once was.  This requires some form of vacuum gauge & about 1 hour to remove body panels & tank to gain access to the throttle bodies, sync them & put it all back together....not a difficult job, just a little time consuming.  Bike Specs 2021 Tenere 700 Canadian model (Japan Factory) 12, 218 km 7,591 miles oem original spark plugs valve clearance oem factory Guglatech Ultra 4 Air Filter + FunnellWebFilters Pre-Filter Chevron regular 87 RON unleaded fuel  Required Tools #4 & #5 allen, T30 Torx, small diameter punch for push pin connectors, long needle nose pliers, small slotted screwdriver differential manometer or vacuum gauges - years ago I made an inexpensive & easy to make differential monometer that consists of about 6 meters or 20' of 5/16th" OD/3/16th" ...

Super Tenere 1200: ABS On/Off Switch

By
Image
An ABS on/off switch (mounted to the left of TPMS on my custom dash in-fill plate) wired inline with the oem 30 amp ABS Motor fuse located in the relay just above the battery.  The speedo/dash & traction control still work vs tapping into the 7.5 amp ABS Control Unit fuse or 20 amp ABS Solenoid fuse.  It allows simple deactivation of the ABS, but reactivating still requires cycling the ignition off & on to reset the system. The switch is 35 amps w/on/off plate, screw terminals & waterproof rubber boot. Wiring harness is 12 gauge & a 30 amp in-line waterproof fuse holder (connected to the hot side) + ample dialectric grease on all connections & exposed metal. The spade terminals plug into the oem fuse receptacle in the relay just above the battery.  Blue lock tight used on all threads.
