short and sweet, thank you for the know-how!
No problem!
Amazing video you are a hero
Good information Ben.
Thanks!
Thank you. I put the smoke windshield on my bike I believe it’s for the tarmac. It helps me keep my eyes up on the road Being a off road rider I would watch more to were my front tire was going
I had a tall smoked screen on my gen2 KLR and it definitely made seeing the trail a little more difficult.
I just realized how much your videos helped me, I know it's not easy to create them, specially being a parent and working full time... I guess that calls for some patronage... hold... what's your Patreon channel?
Thanks man I'm glad to hear I've been able to help you out! The link to my page is in the video description. I think it's just SWANKY CAT.
I adjust mine with the throttle 😂 also added a pair of Denali driving lights on the lower side of lower triple clamp. Don’t need a mount to do it. Works incredibly well.
Nice!
Which lights did you go with on the triple clamp?
Of course the 2022 manual basically says to take it to a dealer if you need to adjust the headlight.
And they removed the hex portion of the knob so now all you can do is use a 17mm wrench to grip the knob and it hits the cowl after 45 degree rotation
That really stinks!
Thank you swanky I was wondering what those knobs were for just traded in my orange KL are
Hows the Tenere treating you?
I've been turning the adjustment screws for two hours and I have checked again that they do not adjust the long-distance lights, what they adjust is each led of short-distance light individually
I felt the video is misleading, the left and right adjusters is to adjust the left and right light individually instead of what as per the video describe left for highbeam and right for lowbeam.
when u adjust the left and right knob the low and highbeam will shift tgt.
No, they adjust the high and low individually?
@@SwankyCatProductions don't think so…
Swanky, I have a 2022 KLR Adventure and believe the lights are amazing especially the fog lights that were included in my package. I am curious how good the standard lights on this Tenere compare to the lights on your KLR? You mounting the fog lights on your Tenere help? Asking because I'll soon own both bikes also
I'd say neither are perfect but do a pretty good job. Aux lights are always a good idea even just to help illuminate the ditches. I need to get some on my KLR.
Did you ever install a headlight protector on your T7? Who is back to see you video on that and I did not find one.
Naa never did.
good video exept left and right side are totaly separate
Really???
Was curious about that bike stand . I thought it was verboten to use one like that on the Tenere ? Something about the subframe . Any info would be helpful as I need to work on my chain soon and would love a better system that the swingarm thingamajig I bought to use in conjunction with the side stand .
Also I too got those Cyclops Aurora pod lights but haven't installed them yet . Little leery about piercing a wire and messing with wiring in general makes me a tad nervous .
I'm not recommending this... but I jacked mine up under the stock skid plate quite a bit for chain maintenance and never had any issues. Now I've got the camel ATV plate which has a added support on the back and always jack it up that way.
@@SwankyCatProductions
Yes that's right you have a more substantial plate with that extra mounting point . Well all the bike stands I have found are rated to 300lbs , I guess I could use my floor jack with a little improvisation or just look harder for a beefier one . Really don't want to add much weight to this bike so a center stand would solve some issues but me and my better half barely got this bike up a wide ramp and into the back of my truck . Well that was with the tail end down a little when I parked the nose of the truck on the street that was a little higher than the driveway at the rental house we stayed at . Think I need to practice with the bike in 1st and just use its own power and just baby the clutch as she goes . Thinking of getting a smaller Dual Sport just to make it easier to load but they are either too tall too weak or way too pricey , hope they make a baby Tenere or Africa Twin .
he comprado por mi mismo que , en el modelo de Tenere 700 2021 ( que es la que yo tengo) los faros se regulan en pares mixtos , es decir las luces de la derecha con el tornillo de la derecha y las de la izquierda con el de la izquierda , con lo que regulan la altura de una luz de corto alcance con otra de largo alcance simultáneamente y no las luces cortas con uno de los tornillos y las luces largas con el otro , y no como creo que explicas en el vídeo y como pienso que debería de ser post: si no he entendido el vídeo me disculpo , uso un traductor y no se su fiabilidad
I have bought myself that, in the Tenere 700 2021 model (which is the one I have) the headlights are regulated in mixed pairs, that is, the lights on the right with the screw on the right and those on the left with the screw. on the left, with which they adjust the height of a short-range light with another long-range light simultaneously and not the short beams with one of the screws and the long beams with the other, and not as I think you explain in the video and as I think it should be post: if I have not understood the video I apologize, I use a translator and I don't know its reliability
I agree with you angellizanopascual4509, on my Ténéré 2021 the right hand adjustment knob varies the height of both right low and right high beams, and the left hand adjustment knob varies the height of both left low and left high beams. In Europe and in the US your right beams should be slightly higher than the left beams in order to illuminate more of the right side of the road and to avoid blinding oncoming drivers.
Did your head light drift out of adjustment? I've got a 2022 and fingers crossed the head light won't need adjusted for very long time.
Not that have noticed. Mine only needed to be moved due to a suspension adjustment I made a while back.
@@SwankyCatProductions Oh yep I never thought about that good call.
where's the 86 XL250R?
I sold it to a friend last season and he blew it up and then sold it.
'21 manual is crap in this regard.
Super hard to turn the knobs also. Very stiff adjustment
Figures. I'm not sure if it's the miles or the adjustments I've made but mine definitely turn easier now.
My Super Tenere needs a headlight adjustment
Can't help you there haha
Adjust headlights with someone sitting on the bike.
I am trying to help people, why are my comments deleted? I have a free tool to turn the knobs easily. I want to share it with you and your viewers. Thats all
