Ténéré mods
I have now acquired a 1988 Ténéré. It's a 3AJ model imported from Italy a couple of years ago with 52000km on the clock. General condition is good and the engine has just been rebuilt (5th gear went and the bits completely knackered the rest of the engine). This is my list of mods - any others recommended?
Kickstart, alloy wheel rims, larger sidestand foot, fuel tap-off point, electric power socket, in-line fuel filters, heavy duty spokes, rack for aluminium luggage. Also may have to address the 5th gear weakness as I think the gearbox was rebuilt using standard Yamaha parts.
Are auxilliary/larger fuel tanks available for this model (I think the tank is only 23L)? I am planning a trip right round the Med so it'll be mostly arid conditions.
