Had a head lamp burn out on my tenere on the way into work this afternoon.
Your videos are great help.
You videos helped me decide on the purchase of my 2015 tenere a few weeks ago.👍
James Brace thanks! I’m not an expert but I like to learn.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures im not too mechanical so your videos are a great help.
James Brace I love to hear that. I’m getting my stuff together for a valve check video soon.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures i will be looking forward to it!
Thanks for showing how to do this as I now have bulbs to change and I have big hands so will probably just do it the way you did. Also appreciated seeing what you fitted back in and the story telling behind the incident.
It's worth the extra couple of minutes for me to pull it out this way, but you can always try to get at them from the back. Keep riding!
You don't have to take the whole panel out... The bulbs are accessible from the handlebar area.
Jam Tub I was pretty sure of that, but I have the dash panel installed which makes it a bit less accessible and it’s always a pain to work in the limited space.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures LOL!!! That would have be a lot quicker than me pulling out my dash panel! Those covers can be a BITCH to turn when you're trying to get up through the bottom of the bike and around the dash panel! I made sure I lubed them up with silicone spray!
@@mcyclenut yeah, I like that it comes off pretty easily so you have the option to change bulbs this way. Ride safely!
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures I found that I had to disconnect the headlight wiring as there wasn't enough play in the wiring. It's just a plug, but it involved taking off the right side panels to access. I have the exact same bike, (white '13).
@@mcyclenut interesting, guess I had a bit more slack?
Thanks for sharing. Started my bike today to ride to work for night shift. Noticed one light is out. Went ahead and rode the 40 miles to work, will change in the morning. Had a pretty good idea how to change them but always helps to get a second opinion. Luckily I won't have to remove the headlight housing as you did. My bike is the same year and color by the way. Had her 5 years now and love this bike. Best bike I've ever owned.... Bought mine new old stock in 2015. Was still in a crate from 2013....
James Puckett it’s pretty easy to change the bulbs either way. Hard to believe you found a new bike three years old. Well, I guess not....I just saw a 2017 Africa Twin on a dealers floor.
Thank you for this lesson
You can also reach behind and change them, I had a panel installed that prevented that but it’s kind of easier this way in my opinion. Thanks for watching.
That would be great. Thanks, Tom.

There's a link for a switch and for some mounts that might work if you have crash bars. Good luck, let me know how it works for you.
Altrider headlight guards are awesome. They look cool and work great. My V Strom low beams went out on the way back from Sandy Eggos. The sub harness for the front lighting burned up.
azdesertdog I do like it and it comes off easily. The Ténéré had a recall on the light harness, I initially thought that could be the problem
2024. I'm thinking of getting a xt1200 and sell the v-strom650 so I'm looking online for all types of maintenance stuff to see what is the reliability of the super-tén. So far great stuff. I enjoyed your video thank you.
@@radwanawwad98 thank you. The bulbs can be accessed from behind too if the dash fill panel wasn’t there, but this was easy enough. I miss the Tenere sometimes, it was a great bike.
Hey congratulations Tom,, very happy for you that it was just the bulbs what did we learn here you got lucky that it was just the balls!! That is nice that is kinda Strang they both went out the same time.. hey BUT look at the good side they can't keep you down you made it home safe.. very good video..
Tom Smales I’m thinking one has been out for a while and I didn’t notice and then the second one burned out on the way home
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures now that would make sense Tom,, I'm sure you are right good job that would of had to be true and you thought it out that is why you get the job done right.. by not thinking negative and trying to find the problem..
U Sir, R an AMERICAN HERO! Thank you! 💪👀➿〽
Hooyahdeepsea Albatross 😂😂, well I appreciate that! It’s also possible to change the bulbs from behind but I hate digging around like an incompetent proctologist.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures ➿Visionary...thanx4@LLuDo!
Holly Cats, Tom, that is cheap. They look sweet too. Thanks for the link.
I have a few of them on our Rhino, they work good and at that price I wouldn't mind if they didn't last.....but so far they have had no issues.
Nice 👍
Luciano Melo just one way to do it. I don’t like fumbling behind the lights, but many people are better at doing it that way than I am. 😀
Says it only includes the 2 pods. I'd have to figure out brackets, wire and switch (you wont find a channel called "Tyler's Tinkering" because I can't do any of this mechanical stuff. But, I could have a local bike shop throw it together for pretty short $$$ all in with parts being so cheap.
Tyler Higgins there’s a nice switch on Amazon as well, I will post the link for ya later if I can find it
Cool, Thanks. I don't have any auxiliary lights on my bike as of yet. Maybe Ill find a decent, affordable LED Aux light set up instead. I don't ride after dark, but, still safer for daytime riding. Thanks again.
I have installed many of the cheap LED aux lights on other vehicles and have been pleased with them.

Your right headlight lens is dirty inside. If you look from the front. It looks milky.
I will take a look at it, thanks.
Its easy to replace without taking off the whole unit.
It might be on a stock bike. I have a dash panel installed on top and lights mounted underneath, which limit the room to get to the back of the lights. Thanks for watching.
Why screwing the 4 bolds of. I just changed the bulbs by removing the caps....saves a lot of time (did it in 2 minutes) :)
Bert Huisjes I hate reaching around back there, plus I have a dash panel so it makes it a bit more difficult reaching from the bottom. Just another option. Thanks for watching.
so how do I lower the high beam? It's shining on the trees instead of the road ahead.
If I remember correctly there are adjustment screws on the housing, but I never messed with them so I’m not positive.
Do you know how to adjust the headlights on the tenere?
My lights don't light up the road in front of me.
The beams shine down & towards the center line. I replaced both bulbs & this did not help.
I didn't know how, but it's in the service manual. Page 3-32, the adjustments are on the back of the headlight assembly. You can possibly reach them from underneath or above, or you could pull the entire thing out like I did in this video but then it would be trial and error. Good luck.
Another good video....
Thank you sir, glad to have some light again.
👍
why do people sell a "led Conversion kit" i popped it 2 nice leds from amazon fit no issues and high beam works no kit needed
I don’t know, maybe some bulbs need modifications? I have not tried any on this bike because I have great driving lights.
Hey, Tom. I thought about LED bulbs in my Tenere. Is there a reason you didn't take this opportunity to go to LED? Does an LED upgrade require wiring, etc.? Can it mess with the electrical? is it even worth bothering with? Just curious.
Tyler Higgins great question. I have two sets of LED driving lights, so already have a good amount of additional lighting. Also, some LED bulbs just don’t play well with some reflector housings, I didn’t research which bulb worked best with the Ténéré. I suggest digging into a forum to find out what works if you decide to go LED. I’m sure there are great choices, if I took more time I may have gone that route.
💪➿〽
replacement of bulbs occurs without removing the headlight
Andrii Boiko I know it can be done that way, but it’s always frustrating reaching behind and trying to get everything correct. It’s nice that it can be done this way as well.
➿, & thanx4closing the loop Tom
What's the part number for the lightbulbs I want to make sure I buy the correct ones
Javier Salermo I’m pretty sure they are H7 bulbs. Lots of people like the LED replacements. Also, if you don’t have the dash panel installed like mine you can access the bulbs from the back without removing the assembly.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures thank you very much
Why not upgrade the bulbs to led
I had not done any research on LED bulbs for this bike. Some require different rear covers, some don’t work well with the reflector design, etc. I have plenty of auxiliary lights as well.
Odd that they both went out at the same time, but I guess when it rains it pours!
Bill Pacheco I’m pretty sure one probably was out for a while and I didn’t notice it. I don’t ride at night all that often. Thanks for watching!
Which light bulbs did you use? Brand Model and are they pure white?
Robert Feliciano I’m sorry, don’t remember. I have good auxiliary lighting so the headlights are more just for legality.
Hmm what is the little dash?
Truth Only are you talking about the dash surround? I made that, video somewhere on my channel.
Seen a bunch of DUMMYs
i don' t believe you fit the criteria
Great FUN Video!
I have my moments. Thanks for watching!
U da man
Eighty Seven thanks for watching!
Fuck I'm looking this up because my ten mill bolts are covered by the plastic and can't get to them, so I thought you would show us how but fuck no, why make these videos if your not going to show how its done.
Well I don’t know what yours are covered with but I did point out where they are. You can also remove the bulbs from the back without removing the entire headlight assembly. Good luck.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures Thanks for the reply since I was being an AssHole, my bolt were covered by the lower unit that houses the bulbs. The bike was not put together well, I had to press down on the plastic and barely got a ten mil socket on the bolts. Also the gap were the 10 mil nut sat did not allow enough space for a wrench. I was just Frustrated, its so easy on Utube but when I go to do it, its a nightmare that takes 4 times as long.
TRUE ANOMALY no worries, I hope you got it taken care of and can go for a ride. See ya out there.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures Thanks, new owner of a 2012 super tenere, Sub to your channel can't believe how far you can ride in one day.
TRUE ANOMALY it’s a pretty darn good bike. I recently got an aftermarket seat....might have to do another long ride. I really want to go back to Alaska!
You dont need any tools🤪takes 30 seconds to change with my hands
Göran k yes you can usually reach back there, I have a dash filler plate on top and it makes it more difficult so this is another option! 😀
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures its an other story to adjust them.
If you are 2 pp the Light Will be to high.
Not easy to adjust fast every time
