Super Tenere prepping
Hi Guys!
This summer I will go to the Pyrenees with two friends. I’ll go on my xtz 850(Tdm swop), and my friends on a dr800 and an ktm 990 adventure. Now I haven’t done a long trip with the st yet. It will be around 2500 km on road and 1500 km off road, we’ve bought a road book from vibraction, RB 1, 2 and 5 It will be a lots of rocky bumpy terrain I already have crashbars, higher windscreen, panniers. Now what are the must adds for my super? What are the technical issues I’ll be looking at? The engine has run 33000km. Thanks a lot in advance! |
Hi
I've ridden original tdm couple times, but can't say anything about your swap, I don't know much about xtz series. Here's a good "local" article about preparation - Bike preparation for long distance dirt road touring | Horizons Unlimited You might find at least some parts still quite useful for your plans. |
whatever you do, make sure to do a long shake down test before leaving, including terrain as difficult as you are going to hit. the only way to make sure you are prepared.
|
And what three would you advise, I’m hasetating between the mitas e09 or the Michelin anakee wild.

TKC80 Continental is really good tire, but wears out faster than the ones you mention.
