Like all the AltRider side stand feet, this one will be stainless steel, use Torx fasteners to eliminate rattling, and feature a 3D design to make it easier to deploy while on the bike. This is a big bike, and it needs a larger footprint. A challenge, yes, but one we look forward to perfecting. This bike is perfect suited for a bracket that allows the windscreen to be adjusted up or down and front to back - a true tool-free operation.

This piece will be challenging, so we’re researching a few ideas to determine what will offer the best sump protection for the Tenere. One option we’re exploring is a molded rubber pad that would contour perfectly to the castings and distribute any impact loads it sustains. This part is still under consideration because of the unique sump and castings on this bike. We will make the crash bars for the Super Tenere correctly, however there will be no exception. Hand TIG welds and proper mounting into the frame – instead of hanging off flanges – for this bike will be one of our biggest challenges yet. Like all our crash bars for other bikes, we’ll build these with one inch stainless steel. The 2012 Super Tenere will officially arrive and be available for sale in the United States in 2011, but there are a lot of customers with the bike already asking us if were making parts.Īfter in-depth study of the bike, here’s what we’ve got planned for the Tenere. We have worked very hard to get our hands on Yamaha’s adventure touring motorcycle, because we knew from Yamaha’s heritage of off road racing and how well the 660 Tenere did we wanted to design parts for this bike.
