34L Tenere - Over it
Well after looking at the cost of rebuilding this pox ridden 34L Tenere, it was going to cost $2100 australian for a total engine rebuild,and that didn't include the cost of gears 3rd , 4th and 5th, which would bump it up to around the $3000AUS mark, I have decided to only do a bottom end rebuild and install the 1vj oil pump. Although I had visions of using this bike to find isolated surf breaks, the fact that it is a basket case of a bike has prevented me from doing so. So once it is back together will flog it off to some dumb kunt asap, I have 2 other bikes (a 90 XT250 and 01 YZ250) which are far more robust and reliable than this basket case of a model (read bucket of useless shit). To anyone thinking of purchasing a Tenere, be prepared to shell out a shit load of cash because as far as I am concerned Tenere suck shit nuggets and should be ghostied off the highest cliff accessible.
