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 ...

Super Tenere 1200: ABS On/Off Switch

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.
