I have just got a new one, the only thing i can find is the spokes are very low grade stainless steel they dont rust but definitely pitt. The general opinion is the regulater connection problem has been eliminated and the plug is now a better quality item. But i am going to put a shroud of heat shrink tubing over mine to be sure.
The tenere is built very tough as standard, and yamaha have gone to the trouble of designing a reinforced (hence heavy frame) and replacable protection panels, combined with a proven engine its the best for the money if you intend to stray off road on your travels. Think of it as the 4x4 of motorcycles. Its built specificaly for tough terrain, a chrome molly light wieght frame would be nice but then it would cost another £1000.00. 9 out of 10 for me.
