What Tenere 700 owners actually watch

Same CP2 economics as the MT-07, plus adventure realities: air filter checks in dust and fork service if you ride loaded offroad.
Spoked tube-type wheels: check tension after offroad days and carry levers on trips.
The 282 mm front discs are adequate, not strong; fresh fluid and quality pads matter more here than on most bikes.
