Picked up my new 2014 ES Super Tenere

<< < (3/3)

Brick:
Success the Givi racks work just fine. However, the only reason they work is because they are the ones with the quick release 1/4 turn fasteners that mount them. These lugs push the racks out 1 1/2" out giving enough room to clear the new side cover.

An additional success in that Yamaha has a new P/N for there accessory skid plate for the ES... the standard Tenere uses the old P/N skid plate. So I assumed that my old skid plate would not mount on the ES. Yippie it mounts just fine. Another big money savings.
A few more accessories to move the put the 2012 Tenere up for sale!

Re: the electrical box... The electronics, behind the new cover there I've read is for the electronic suspension. I don't know any more than that.
More to come... Including photos.
Re: the SW-Motech racks. I spoke with Twisted Throttle yesterday and they didn't really know. They sent a reply to my question but basically wanted me to purchase the $337 SW-Motech mounts. Hmmm perhaps they did know?

Excellent bike!  Looks like the upgrades do make a significant difference.
I had similar issues when I tried to move my Trax from my Tiger to the GS.  TT had to contact SW-Motech and order a part from Germany because the mounts did not work as advertised.  Glad the GIVI's worked out for you.
