The Tenere had 3,000km when I bought it and is now on about 24,000 I think (not seen it for several months as it's in Spain).
The major problem that many have encountered is a poor connection between the wiring loom and the rectifier. My bike also had this problem, see attached pics, and it took six weeks for the dealer in Spain to get approval to do the work under warranty, get the parts in, and do the work. Fortunately that was at the end of a seven-week trip to Morocco.
I also had to get the steering head bearings replaced. They were badly corroded (!) and it took a couple of hours to get them out.
The other problem I'm not used to is tubed tyres with inner tubes which are a real pain in the ass. But generally a lovely bike that inspires confidence.
