Yamaha XT1200Z Super Tenere

[whyzee]

I'm thinking of ordering the roxriser from Altrider. Seems like they have stock.

 

This Saturday I will be in Melaka. Will join you guys next week.

 

I'm looking at the screen from Calsci. Base on their calculation, for my bike, I need a 11.5cm taller than stock windshield to have a minimal airflow and back pressure. Of cos, let me try with my stock one first. Gotta say their screen looks good though, but almost $280 after shopping.

 

Right now, I'm considering.. Either the Scuberth C3 for quietness and stability, or tall windscreen for it. Taller windscreen definitely cheaper. But the C3 is just so cool.

I like the look of the OEM headlight protector.

Any idea how much issit?

Any other alternative?

3 point here.

 

Altrider - do not sell & ship direct to SGp - local dealer is motoviation accessories.

 

High windscreen - i find the Puig just nice. no strong head wind but still ok flow of air when work with touratech adjustor at tour position.while tons of wind when at city position. sometime it gets boring when no wind also lor....lol

 

C3 + Puig + adjustor = excellent combo.

Careful considerations with the rox risers. I've seen one and the electrical wires looked tight. U can't tie them on the handlebars anymore like the oem one. Maybe the tall owner can share more.

 

The stock screen actually works very well for me. I am more than 170cm. I feel that I need only 2" higher when I go touring. But i am still happy cruising with the stock screen too.

 

Try the stock setting before ordering any aftermarket imho as the Super Tenere is a very well built bike.

[whyzee]

Definitely agree. Gotta ride a while before changing r ergonomics stuffs.

If wiring will get too tight, then forget it liao. Long term very troublesome..

 

For the oem headlight protector, ordered from Hong Leong, $185 b4 gst..

For aftermarket one, ventura from motoworld is $55 listed price.. Stil can bargain abit, n plenty of stock avail

Bike parts add-On is very individual preference.

 

There is no 1 way of doing it.

 

So to each it own.Keke

 

ROX Riser when at it full straighten height will have tight cable issue( minor loose up & it good to go)

 

Fix height riser has the benefit of less 1 flex point to tighten over period of usage.

 

Original clamp is the best(thats if the design rider position fit you)

 

Windscreen?

 

Stock windscreen - short & lots of wind . Good for city & low speed ride or off road

 

Original tall windscreen - good for touring,abit tall for off road stand up riding.more sand/dust rush from below then top airflow(that's why got original fairing wind deflector mah)

 

After market tour screen - too many to go into detail of each but in general all has a higher length then the stock which explain the direction those screen are heading.

 

For truly a dual sport rider,touratech/SW motech/H&B windscreen adjustor is the way to go.adjust height at will for different riding.match it with a tall windscreen & u can have both short(lowest setting) or tour mode(highest setting)

 

Disclaimer - I do not work nor have any interest in the dealer/shop/brand that produce/retail such product.

 

Just sharing my view on this matter.something which BMW has done a excellent design job in the GS/GSA however the extra in $$ is another matter....lol

 

Yamaha has done a good job in remaking the S10 to be on par/near the common benchmark.been japs...I'm sure they will exceed the benchmark in no time(just dun make it before I sold my S10 in the next couple of years) lol:cheeky:

original Yamaha - S$180 b4 GST - metal stub secure type

 

Hepco & becker - grill type - Metal stub secure type S$160

 

Venture - i used them before. They are quite alright IMO. But can be stolen easily due to its mounting using velcro.

 

Yamaha OEM - i like this. Suits the bike well. Rather costly.

 

H&B grill - a bit bulky. Protection against big stones. But small stones can still go in if trajectory is "chun". Mebbe could go well as a combo with the Venture one.

 

Just my opinion.

 

Anything from Touratech for headlight protection?
