I picked up this 96 model (mine is 95) just for parts the other week. The rear shock on it has just been serviced so I will look to swap them over at some stage. The scrapper also has nobby tyres so I will swap the wheels over as well, I also have new cush drive rubbers for it.
The only short coming then (other than the rider) might be the fuel range but it may give better economy now. Before the Lefty effect
I had gotten as little as 180km out of the tank when riding it hard. I can always look at rotapacks or similar if I need to.Great job again Lefty
your the Tenere guy now !!I’m looking forward to actually doing a decent ride on mine since you did a top job on her
Nick
Actually…… now I think about it. I knew I had seen that bike before!
Not much gets past you does it Mick
. I may look at doing the scrapheap ride next year, depends on if I get motivated to play at being a mechanic/auto electrician in the mean time. He tells me the motor in it is good and I have tried starting it but there seems to be a starter/relay type problem,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, oh gee, where have I heard that before?Hi, very nice work. I’m also removing the engine from my tenere 660, year 1998, but I’m not sure if I need to extract the pivot shaft from the swing arm.
According with the service manual of tenere year 2008 I do not need to extract the pivot shaft. However I do not have the repair manual for the 1998 bike….
Many thanks
Hi Nunes,
I’m not sure on a ’98 model Tenere, however if it has a frame like the one in the pics you will have to remove the swingarm pivot bolt as it also uses this as an engine mount.Cheers,
LeftyAs was mentioned earlier on this thread, after Lefty did the rebuild work the only thing still not good was the carby. It was just worn out and had more leaks than Julian Assange
. It worked on a vaccum system so with all the leaks it took forever to get fuel into the carby and once it was there it was pretty much impossible to tune it properly.This afternoon I decided to pull the carby out of the scrapper I bought and see if it was in any better condition. Being that my mechanical skills are somewhere between poor and pathetic the only thing I could do was clean it up and whack it in to see what happens. I gave it a good spray with Wynnes carby and throttle body cleaner spraying it inside and out and undoing a few screws and spraying in the holes and breathers until the liquid coming out was pretty much the same colour it went in (very technical worker I am). It is pretty powerful stuff that Wynnes, at one point I though my screw driver had been sitting in grease or something only to realise the “cleaner” was melting the handle :huh: .
Anyway I got the old one out and the new one in, hooked up all the hoses, hit the button and it fired straight up and purred away quite nicely (damn I’m good :whistle: ) . The only concern I really had was that there is an extra breather on the old one, not sure what it was. It is much bigger than the usual breathers and went straight into the air box.
