My Tenere is exactly the same model and colour, but with 108000km. So far the first repair. Now I know why I bought a Yamaha. Thanks from South Africa 🇿🇦🌍

I don't even own a super ten. But now when I found reviews clear and precise as this I want to buy one just to start working on it :D good work man.

I just replaced my seal on my Tenere after 53,000 miles. Thank you for the information on this.

[@Rsomero]

Thanks for this. Mine started leaking a few weeks ago (67K miles) and got back on the road in no time following your directions. Great video.

Your a ledgend, high five and free beer if you ever set foot in my shed , and you added part numbers..... how good 👍

[@rodmitchell8064]

Excellent video! Couldn’t be any better, well done👍 I’ll keep this in mind if I have to change the seal on my 2014 superTenere

[@garrydymond275]

Thanks for the video. I just did it today following your video. The leak was not enough to leak onto the ground. It did, however, spray some oil onto the rear rim. I had bought a seal about 18 months ago. Easy job following your well made video

Thanks for the video. Last weekend I did the output seal following your video. But I found some lube in the driveshaft tube, so today I did the input seal. Both jobs sound a bit intimidating at first, but really, neither are that bad. Great find on the Jar to use as the tool.

this is great! i dont need to do this on my super tenere but just in case ill keep this as a bookmark.

[@EfficientMan]

Useful information, it looks straightforward, what could go wrong, but always something goes wrong usually related to seized bolts consuming my time. That hex filler bolt for example scares me... I can see potential problems in the future with this and the tip you gave about loosening it first was very good idea. Why did they have to make it hex? A normal bolt requiring a socket would have been better.

[@ElectricChickenADV]

I’m slowly transitioning all my bolts to Torx as I can, I have more confidence in the engagement. Hope you mashed that Subscribe button, we have more content planned for 2021!

[@hensola]

wow, so much easier to fix than the BMW shaft drive :)

[@somestuffithoughtyoumightl6985]

Great job; clear pics with easy to follow instructions. Torque specs on screen also a big help. Did you research the factory lube? Now you got me wanting to replace it with molly on my almost new bike ;) I’d say it looks good for a bike with 40k+ on it, (Yamaha build quality on display) Glad to see you got the seal part number right in the description; (just showing that I was paying attention and caught the tiny mistake)

Awesome video!

[@danwinters3948]

at 4:55 you said the wrong part number . but a great video getting ready to do mine

[@andresalaskeno2710]

Excellent!!

[@sendero_touring7210]

SAE 75w 90 oil will leak through the seals, you should use SAE 80w 90, as the manual says

[@ElectricChickenADV]

SAE 75W-90 maintains a more consistent thickness, or viscosity, across a wide temperature range. It's thicker when exposed to high heat and thinner under colder, wintry conditions than 80W-90, but I don't ride in cold, wintry conditions. Been running my set up for over 15,000 miles and haven't had any issues. Also sent used oil to Blackstone Labs for analysis and there are no performance issues.
