@@derrickmurphy9859 nope, just a way to attract attention to the video …. and so far it seems to have worked out pretty well with this many views and comments with a whole 3 or 3 people actually subscribed to this channel…

@@derrickmurphy9859 most stock seats are pretty damn uncomfortable, plus I like a tall seat on most of my bikes seams like they are always too short or sitting to deep in the bike …

@@Rockell479 for the record I mention in the second sentence of this video that I actual like this bike. I knew exactly what I was buying and am familiar with the engine and the larger displacement versions on the Yamaha mt’s ets. I bought the bike knowing I will be modifying it to suit my riding style and usage, the video could have been titled “inexpensive parts that allow the T7 to be affordable” but that would have garnered very little attention etc It’s a great platform, priced right for todays market, fun to ride but mostly average in most categories in stock form, which most likely will suit a majority of the buyers out there, and others will modify due to needs, desires or just to make the bike look cool etc

@ after seeing your vid I test rode a new 2024 T7 yesterday as I’ve been looking at them. It was pretty underwhelming, granted it was in Florida on straight boring streets with traffic where i couldn’t really open it up much. And I had just test road a Scrambler 1200xe back in Arkansas where I could open it up on fun roads.. so it wasn’t quite a fair comparison.. but I have to say all the low / mid range torque of the scrambler was a lot of fun

@@Rockell479 I haven’t had any noticeable shifting issues other than occasionally when coming to a stop still rolling I get down to neutral and the neutral indicator light goes on then off and I’m no longer in neutral however I’ve caught it each time and still had the clutch engaged. The bike is super fun to ride but very unimpressive in many areas in stock trim and even after a few mods still not overly impressive anywhere etc

Wonder was that down to the motorcycle shop that built it from the crate because I've rode several and never had that problem. Ride another.

@@derrickmurphy9859 couldn’t tell you, and hasn’t hindered my riding experience though ….

@@JohnHardiman-d5t I could agree with you less …. 😂 The bike is awesome, and I never sactuallt ever say that it sucks …. Just pointing out the inexpensive parts “sucks” that allow the bike to be targeted at the $10k range, most of those parts can be upgraded fairly inexpensively and will be by most buyers …. Everything can be criticized, and we all are welcome to voice out opinions in this short life Life’s too short try to live it on a motorcycle ….

@@eddydruppel3943 sounds like someone is either flirting with me or projecting …. Either way d-bag just move along I’m not interested…..

@@bingolio yeah I’ve owned the fancy bikes with all the electronics, and although some of those items were useful, I definitely purchased this bike to avoid all of that …..

@@holdfast4588 yeah this one was just basic weldtec lift 245 series ATs but a nice smooth wide ride! I’m back n fourth on going to town in my 2000 cargo extended 7.3 rebuild motor, trans, 4x4 conversion …. Or possibly go with my 2009 mega cab turbo diesel 4x4 dually and go flat bed, pop up camper, locking boxes on side and have a overly capable rig for all terrains

@@edmallesaz thanks, I’m looking forward to adjusting a few things layout wise now that i have a handful of months in the van, just some practical things ….

@@holdfast4588 it sounds pretty healthy and solid throughout the powerband. Noticed I’m getting a bit more pop on deceleration now than the first couple rides though….

@@jorge85cc thanks, if you have the time read through the comment section there’s some funny shit throughout….

@@MacawAviculture 100% agreed, even my more expensive bikes always seem to need some shiny stuff I can’t resist buying for them…. That’s part of the fun for sure …

@@alexmaccity I’m really happy with the sound output, I’m gonna test out my bracket extension this weekend see if that heat clears that marker light ….

@@hardworkingamerican8847 yeah they are definitely not in a hurry to get my plate to me!! 😂

@Adventure_Ready_Life No I have the plate I just dislike the dee em vee . Each year I put my registration sticker on it but just leave it until the next year . Did the same with with my boxtruck for 5 years until 2020 when they got rid of cash toll takers at the local bridges .

@ yeah they changed the temp plates in AZ couple years back they are heavy duty water resistant paper and have the license # and expiration on them

@@Rzv-333 I was. Expecting some color degradation on the carbon overtime just not that quickly, and I’m planning to get some smaller blinkers for this bike regardless but also did not o tend to melt the stick ones, I thought it was in the clear until I saw the results on my first test ride ….

@@justmyself1000 I agree there are several options on there that all look the same I’m gonna open up that baffle to see if the parts are removable etc ….

It is removable. Just take the screw out from underneath in that hole and the baffle will come out.

@@cd1755 dig deeper if you want to hear the sound of this cheap pipe it’s in previous videos, this was an update of the low build quality you can expect from this type of purchase …..

@@Adventure_Ready_Life We shouldn't have to dig anywhere. It's common sense to let us hear it, esp when you talk about sound.

@@orlandoberry4031 not necessarily fake (other than the random misleading sticker these guys throw into the packaging) but definitely cheap quality stuff ….

@@georgikukov5129 both great ideas, and I’m taking those suggestions to heart! I already did a previous video on the sound of this muffler, I was merely updating the fitment and side effects of this inexpensive exhaust set up.

@@holdfast4588 I have that saddle type base they come with so there is no contact or side effects from heat as of yet with maybe 4 hours of rinding while using them. I want to grab a set of those aluminum side racks that eventuate Tomek has on his T7 for a synch point and better support, just trying to keep the weight down as much as possible though.

@@holdfast4588 I’ve heard that most of the T7 are fine with just a slip on, however full exhaust with header pipe needs remap. So far feels same, sounds better and no nasty deceleration pops etc

@@davidlenz7817 yeah there are a ton of very inexpensive items on there for the Tenere 700 …..

@@sebastianslife91 I’m loving this set up ……. I’m about 150 days into living out of my van 5 nights a week now ….

@@sebastianslife91 real people doing really shit! 😂 You know the lifestyle my friend, and you know the fake videos of van life that are so prevalent on social media, you and Lola are straight up OG van life ….

@@sebastianslife91 I used to practically live on two wheels! They are definitely the ultimate freedom machines …

@@maxostrowski5269 this hitch is holding up great so far especially considering the bike weight and I’m off-road bouncing around daily. I love the e-series ford vans, basically a truck with a nice enclosed sleeping area …

The kit came with one rubber grommet unfortunately looked like one missed the packaging process so i cut one out of a rubber washer i had laying around. I would like to find some much smaller profile led blinkers for the bike in the future .......

Remember, they say opinions are like assholes ..... everyone had one for the most part! Your attempt at stand up comedy i'm assuming bombed drastically by the pathetic attempt at humor in the comment you made. Well better luck next time funny guy. I actually had a great day of riding right before pointing out some of the lower priced parts that are on this particular T7 from stock. I used the title and thumbnail pic to draw attention to the video ..... and well lookie lookie ... here you are Great bike, fun to build out, less expensive than some others out there, some great parts, some cheap parts as expected. Be sure to like and subscribe, and keep that rolling on the floor level comedic delivery coming strong in the comment section ...... i think you have a strong future in the funny business sector of life .....

​@Adventure_Ready_Life just liked and subscribed

Thanks ........ it makes for a great exploration set up

Damn $25k that sounds extra expensive is Australia! Yep i knew what i was buying and it fits my current needs with a few nessacary mods, but it does seem like most of the people that review the T7 are a little high on the ...... shit already bought it may as well get others to join the cult type gushing enthusiasm. Mine will work out for me but its definitely not a one of a kind, or never been done before ride of my life experience etc ......

@@1nikonshooter agreed, I’ve modified every bike I’ve owned over the years, and although expensive it’s a great way to spend money to get a custom tailored bike set up for your own riding desires. The T7 is a great bike stock and a great platform to modify into a very capable light weight ADV exploring machine ..

@ My wife thinks I have some sort of disorder, I don’t know, maybe I do! Like I told her several times, I’m always looking for my next motorcycle, and that will probably never change. I found a 2024 Tenere at the local shop, I’m going to try to go and take it for a test ride maybe this weekend. Who knows if I like it well enough, I might just have to make some more room in the garage.

@@1nikonshooter I always seem to find room for just one more!!

Weight is too high for what exactly? This pig is basically either a very overweight dirt bike or a very under powered adv bike .......

@@Adventure_Ready_Life They say that when they don't have the skills to ride the bike

@@PA-Tammy I feel this bike even with its flaws can be an absolute off-road weapon in the right hands ….

@Adventure_Ready_Life 100% we have 2 24s Elen is short and only been riding for 7 years and she can ride it better than her DRZ.. Yamaha did good

First off i don't believe in man made religions adjusted and altered over the years to fit the current rulers so i'm gonna have to figure out the potential fire danger without the guy in the dress and beard etc .... I do carry a fire extinguisher in all my vehicles as everyone really should (mmmm do you carry one?) Im also not sure why everyone thinks a tiny little controlled butane burner is going to jump out of line and cause a raging vehicle fire but it seems many feel this way? I suggest those people stop camping, never stay or cook anything in any RV, and don't own any mobile homes in the future. Thanks for stopping by ........

Weed.. and some other stuff we can't talk about....

My coffee cup holder, my butler and some grey poupon for now........ hahaha

@@PA-Tammy Mainly just dirty underwear from all the puckering that takes place when this thing hits choppy sections off-raod at hight speed on the crappy (no pun intended) stock suspension!!

@@Adventure_Ready_Life Tractive Suspension can fix that. I did the 25mm+ on both ends and it's a new bike.

@@rosarioroberto5823 I recently came off a 2016 ktm 690 enduro so compared to that bike the T7 has barely any if any handle bar vibration that I’ve noticed. I plan to run a slightly higher bar bend like a CR high motocross type bend handle bar just due to personal bend preferences from past years of motocross racing but no plan for higher bar risers at this time etc. The motor puts off very little heat to the rider, I was actually trying to warm up my gloves/hands while riding the other day by placing them near the motor and was wishing that thing would give off more heat actually! 🤣

​@@Adventure_Ready_Lifethank you for the quick response. I was just watching another TH-cam videos and the 2024 Yamaha tenere 700 has an with the clutch. Are you having any clutch issues, since you have so much experience

@@rosarioroberto5823 the clutch operates as expected, no issues, occasionally it might feel like the throw or length of the clutch grab is a little short once the bike is warmed up but nothing wildly unusual compared to other bikes I’ve owned over the years.

@@thomasreynolds1530 I was actually not expecting all the hateful comments on this one, and found it especially funny that people immediately go to hurling insults about my bike choices and imaginary bike set ups they fantasize that ride or attacking my riding abilities which they clearly have no actual information on, only due to me having an opinion they don’t agree with about my own bike … 🤣 This society is getting pretty sad these days, with weak mind syndrome taking over the masses. Hopefully some people received some benefit out of the information on this video ….. I’m definitely not here to try to get monetized like half the fake “influencers” or try to add members to my inner circle. I’m just sharing experiences ….

Thanks! I love this set up …

@@michaelp9759 I like the bike, but some of the parts are as expected pretty low quality to make that price point ….

@@Adventure_Ready_Life I posted my comment before I actually watched your video, seemed a little clickbaity, however, it, very well-made. Your assessment is very practical and consisted of things the average novice rider would have to endure thousands of miles of riding to ascertain I love the bike, but have only sat on one in the dealership, your video certainly gives you insight as to what you will expect in ownership

@@michaelp9759 thanks, it’s an awesome platform, but some will expect more right at first purchase due to the high praise so many have given this bike. I had pretty good reliable feedback on this one before I purchased and so far it’s pretty inline with what I expected and compared to other adv bikes I should be in a comfortable financial investment level after modifying the tenere to my riding style. I think most will be pretty satisfied with the T7 ……

@@holdfast4588 mine should fit pretty good figure you have at least that gap for the ramp storage on the haul master carrier ….

@@holdfast4588 yeah i love weldtec parts but damn they are pricey!! I had a metal old school diesel Jerry can I was gonna use but the roti pax although pricey would offer good fuel for the motor for sure ….

That roof rack is the Defender from smitybilt off 4 wheel parts website, its the largest one, comes in sections so you can run it shorter for the standard van and longer for the extended body vans if you choose, i have it on this standard van in full length. It's a decent rack for the price and the least expensive roof rack for vans new at $1600 aprox ........

@@Adventure_Ready_Life i couldn’t find that exact same roof rack. They’re probably out of stock

@@catu6266 a lot of times they have this same rack with the different mounting hardware that actually requires you to drill into the roof of the vehicle…. Same rack but different mounting, the gutter mount style like the one I have sells out occasionally since it’s the least expensive option for vans, excursions etc
