    Tenere 34L fettling

    Tenere 34L fettling

    https://www.ssina.com/education/corrosion/galvanic-corrosion/ Some info in the link. Aluminium is slightly higher up on the galvanic series, meaning it will oxidate at a higher rate. You can slow down the reaction by reducing the third element, namely a electrolyte. Ride it dry when washed...

    My 990 - General questions, learning and experience

    The Adventure seat feels 'n bit wider than the one on the R & S. I prefer the more comfort of the slightly wider seat at the moment. So, I did a test by sitting on the bike with different plank heights underneath the wheels, and the added 40 mm felt "right". I do not plan to do heavy rock...
