@@swill969696 thanks! It’s actually a Chinese knockoff high mount pipe from AliExpress, works great and under $200 👍🏼

@@TheJumpn hey as long as you end up on a T7 you’re getting a good deal 👍🏼 great bikes that are hard to be let down by no matter the year!

everything is overrated to someone!

@rideoutside i am among rhe people who is not interested in brand by itself. I have to ride a motorcycle, and if i like it, I compare kt with competitors, and rate them all, regarding on fun factor i have, and price tag. You miss a lot, if you focus on one model, without trying anything else.

@@RandomParrot nice catch! Weird decision they made to update the exhaust hanger instead of just making it replaceable.

Mark was having a blast lol

@@joegregory109 some people find performance tuning and technology just plain fun! Sure it isn’t necessary but neither is buying a GS when a KLR exists lol

@@therealtashiro Dreyer Motorsports in Indy, I’ve bought a few bikes from them now and they’ve always been great. I believe they still have some if you’re nearby.

@@rideoutside In Washington State. 👍🏻🇺🇸

@@nemzdroidx can’t beat that!

@@RandomParrot yep I wear the same size, no bikes perfect for big guys sadly

@@30mrgoodfellow it is but no more than the 20-23’s. Just keep it moving/upright and you’ll be fine, it’s only really an issue when you have to pick it up!

@rideoutside That's usually what I end up doing. Picking up after I find myself where I shouldn't be.

Where?

@ Rock hill SC. It was last one.

True! Only bad thing about the early models was the turn signals 😅

@@rideoutside Replaced them with Yamaha LED turn signals from 2023 model. 😁😁

@@gordonborsboom7460 I think you’re right In the end they are trying to make money and that’s a good way to do it

@@joshdoddadbod agreed, I forgot to mention the new bikes have traction control now too…on this bike I think that would be a nuisance.

@@rideoutside TC for bikes with 73PS is a joke...

@@chrismcallister6546 I bought the LSK abs dongle and it gives you everything you’re asking for. Well worth the $130 and it takes 2 minutes to install. The bike also remembers your ABS setting after you turn it off!

@@vaggelisntaloukas2016 oh me too…I want to hear that CP2 auto blip!! I think it’s possible with the 25s now, but of course no details yet.

@@greyfisher3897 I think you missed the point I was trying to make but that’s probably my fault for being brief. Adam Riemann is an amazing rider and he’s probably bent more rims than I ever could in 3 lifetimes. If he has advice to give by all means take it. But I am not Adam, and 99% of T7 owners aren’t either. So here’s my attempt to elaborate: 1. If I bend a tubeless wheel in the middle of nowhere and the bead won’t seat like you say, I’ll leave the grass on the ground and put a tube in it. Just because a wheel is tubeless doesn’t mean it can’t be used with a tube. (this is the biggest reason there are almost no downsides) 2. Enduro riders ride enduro bikes. Enduro bikes have much narrower wheels. Those narrow wheels utilize rim locks. It is impossible to run rim locks on the OEM T7 wheels. 3. Yes I believe ADV riders do want everything to be easy when it comes to maintenance and repairs because that means more time on the bike. More time on bike = more practice = opportunity for more challenging rides. 4. I am prepared, I’ve changed many sets of tires and tubes unfortunately. 5. “Real off-road riders” ARE complaining. Hence the prevalence of foam inserts and TUBliss systems that virtually ALL serious off road riders utilize at this point. Systems that similar to bead/rim locks cannot be used with the T7 because of its wide rim size. 6. It is all fun and games! We’re all out here to have fun and if you aren’t you seriously bought the wrong bike… (Pol Tarres excluded) So with that said, why on earth would an ADV bike with wide rim sizes come with tube type rims??? I can think of two reasons - cost, and it presents itself as a more “serious” off-road bike in marketing. Even though real off roaders know those fat rims are a dead giveaway… PS - I hate tubes so much I even run TUBliss on enduro bikes 🤘🏼

@@motoric5188 Since I made this windshield I’ve been really happy with it. Try taking the windshield completely off and go for a ride, if it’s better you can make one like I did or just buy the shortest one you can find. Worked great for me and my head is in clean smooth air. If I was riding a ton of highway miles, I’d probably buy a madstad though. Have had good luck with them in the past!

I put a screen riser on mine, makes a big difference, still get some noise same as all ADV's but now I can ride with my visor up and no glasses . I've ridden a KTM 890 and that was terrible, needed to have your visor down even at low speeds.

I agree, it’s hard to start over after getting a bike setup how you like. Enjoy it!

At full MSRP with all the dealer fees I’d have to agree somewhat. A lot of deals on the 24s right now though that I think make it a great value!

Used prices are still really strong too

To be fair, I'd pay 20 grand for it, it's THAT good of a bike. I've already met probably around 15-20 people who have well over 400,000km on the clock on their Teneres and that's without any issues failures or breakdowns whatsoever. I also know a few with 600,000+km.

I bought mine in 21 and it was great value then, but I somewhat agree with you based on price vs specs on other bikes now, but reason is there is big demand for a simple reliable bike that's fun to ride and own so why would they sell them cheaply unless demand starts to dry up for them. All about supply and demand, maybe the others are selling at low margins to try to get a share of the market.

So you are clearly an absolutist. A person who makes extreme baseless comments and assertions, based on generalizing non specific points. the most, the best, the worst etc etc....purely. People who comment on a few thousand here or there, based on competition, are either cheap, or poor. There...there is extreme baseless comment for you to digest....and compare to yours....

I think that was my fault lol

absolutely, this bike really shines in the open, smoother areas!

I wouldn’t complain about that It’s still better than most other ADV bikes I’ve ridden though

@@rideoutside I was interested in a KTM for the really low gas tank, but with all of the camshaft failures, I think I will pass

@@KamikazeJoeNYC it’s a 3mm sheet of ABS plastic I cut and molded in the oven Not the prettiest but it was $7

best comment 😂

I wish I lived close to trails like this! I’d definitely have a different bike if I did

​@@rideoutsideSame here, I wish I lived closer. I live in Illinois and have been making monthly trips up there to visit family. But I always trailer up my bikes. Good times, have you tried to climb Chandler Hill yet?

@@WadeMade no but it looks sweet. That was my first time riding around there but I’ll definitely be back I think. I’d probably try it on the t7, depends what the repair fund is looking like at the time lol

best looking drz I’ve seen!

the patron saint of single track famine

my clutch is still crying

the cutest one!

I believe it’s the 62.5mm cap, part no. 2070769999
