  1. clutch cable moved ok. seems like adequate slack now. good opportunity to lube cable.
  2. A question for you, whisperquiet, tho' i just noticed up there it shows '21 Super Tenere, so you may not have details regarding a 2020 900GT like I have. I got a set of risers from Motopump, feels like i managed to wiggle enough slack in most of the cabling, and the position of bars feels like an improvement. However, I recently realized-- during some slow-speed right-turning maneuvering-- when I turn the bars close to the lock to the right, it exudes enough tension on the clutch cable to partially disengage the clutch. I can see the shaft down on the transmission rotate just maybe a 5mm. Ruh-Roh! I squinted at the tiny diagram in the service manual and it appears to show a cable clamp(almost looks like a heavy-duty zip-tie). Maybe just loosen that up? I wonder if other folks have noticed this clutch cable situation and what was their remedy. edit: took side cover off to see if there was a clamp someplace to loosen, but with everything i can reach loosened, the pressure put on clutch cable housing at full right-steering lock is still enough to pull the cable and rotate the shaft a bit. Now i'm wondering if moving the clutch cable from running in front of the forks and positioning it behind the forks would be the answer, doesn't seem like it'd put any extra stress on the housing at full-right-lock.
  3. Helibars instructions refer to loosening banjo bolt on brake reservoir to add slack. Am I liable to wind up with a huge mess of brake fluid all over the place?
  4. 2020 T900gt. I've been wondering where best to vent these observations, probably already covered elsewhere herein. The way gas pumps are designed where I am in MO-- we have no vapor recovery accordion tubing being considered rural-- the difference between the point where they auto-shutoff and after I pull the schnozzle out then eyeball the fuel level until I reach the bottom of the filler tube inside the tank is approx. 1.25gal U.S.. MPG last fillup tank, 133.7miles on trip ODO / 2.8gal U.S. (reported by pump) = 47.75gal U.S. dashboard reported 'fuel con' = 2.6gal and 'fuel avg' = 50.6 dividing trip ODO by 'fuel con' numbers from dashboard = 51.4 average of all those= 49.9 which i consider fine for this much get-up+go
  5. Stepped up to preowned 2020 tracer gt from my first ever bike (CB500x) near end of riding season last year. Tracer has pretty much all the toys that I found myself wanting on the cb500x-- suspension adjusting, cruise control specifically. It definitely feels more planted on the highway at 70mph even with only 50-60lbs more weight. Moar powah was not high on the list of things I was shopping for, but it's fully capable of white knuckle inducement for sure. Hope to do some out of state vacation trips once Spring reappears. (crosses fingers, points at weather gods) After reading site since then, finally decided to sign-in. Dan
