Thanks for this video. So much useful info and experience in there. Great to get some info on the lift also :) We just got icy roads so we're grounded but let's hope Greta can melt that away soon. Merry Xmas to you. We're already done here in Sweden since we celebrate on the 24th.
Looking good. Nice custom exhaust! I've gone rackless as well with the Kriega kit. It's very nice. Thanks for the heads up on the possible weak link in the plastics.
yea angle looks better but ill be burning my heels of my shoes quite rapidly. and you can say wrap em. how ever he already has ware on his wrap. waiting for em to get a different fix
@@corecass high exhaust routing = hot as fuck in traffic. They routed it low because this is a bike intended for street use despite misleading advertising. Thin skidplate with the engine located literally 2cm above it..and the skidplate is mounted to the aluminum footpeg brackets.
I for sure like your exhaust a lot more than Camel ADV's exhaust. The fact that there is literally only one other manufacturer right now that makes it run OVER and not AROUND the swingarm (huzaar) is mind-blowing.
Great video, love the exhaust. You're making me really want a T7.... I watched a video and they advised against the water pump guard as it is secured into a part of the engine case (forget the specific) and they said if you're unlucky enough to collect something at that location they'd rather replace a pump vs case...
You have two bolts on each side back cover where the stock rack mount to from Yamaha make up some brackets from there to hold out your soft bags, it does not have to be very big just something to keep the bags off the plastics. Cheers
Merry Xmas Nerb and thank you for all the material you've posted this and prior years. It has helped keep me sane during lockdown and reinvigorated my passion for adventure. Cheers
Really great information, from an experience point of view! Appreciate that as it will certainly help me in the long term set up of my own T7! Cheers for an awesome and safe 2021!
Thanks mate! I have ordered a T-700 and your info on it helps out here in the US they are just shipping them to the us 4 years later now! Great Helpful video!! keep up the Videos and no Bloody wankers allowed mate!!! Cheers!
Oh nailed the sump plug... could not have lined it up any better. Ya the baseplate and frame bars are built to a price, so if you really do anything out there getting the good stuff is the way. Exhaust mod is great. Gussets on the fairing plastics are a great go-to. Stickers are down to the preparation as much as some of the adhesives used.
:P it is all a bit of fun, some comments are serious and others are to get a rise/stir. We can't comment if others like you don't make the videos. Ha just noticed the baseplate autocorrect
Have a good one Nerb! I am not sure if I would prefer a hot Xmas to go ride, or a cold one, where its bike maintenance / adding on anything Santa brought 😁
Merry Xmas Nerb San! Hope that You and Yours have a wonderful Xmas and New Year! keep up the awesome Vids. May 2021 be a year full of more adventures. Best!!!
Hello Nerb, here in the Netherlands the use of a bike is substantially different from Aussie. Nevertheless, you show a few interesting hacks. I carry Kriega OS12 on the OS base plate. These sit a bit lower than Mosko. You reckon that strengthening the plastic panels is also needed? And isn’t there a way to make use of the luggage rack and the connection of the pillion handle to off set your Mosko bags?
It's great to see the mods you've done to the bike, that seat trick is genius! I'm going to sort that out on my one over the holidays. Happy Christmas nerb!
Since I haven't even seen a T7 in the State I am gathering as much information as possible. I'm going to get one to go with my AT (set the AT for long haul with lotsa tarmac) and the T7 more dirt rides. I like the exhaust setup but have no way to weld the bracket, small town no fabricators here, so I would need to figure something out for that part. But I also would like a thru pipe (cat bypass) with less S bend than your bike. I think by looking at the picture you showed this would be doable because of the change in routing to the head pipe. Ask Peter for me. Thank you and Merry Christmas to all out there and hoping for a better 2021 but doubt it.
Cheers mate. Yeah, once you want to remove the cat, you are looking at a whole system and remapping. A slightly bigger job that I have done! Ha, have fun!
Thanks for the info Nerb will defiantly be getting a T7 one day when the bank balance will allow it. I was thinking of the exact content here as in a list of what to get along with the actual bike.
Merry Christmas. If I were to get rid of my 1290 this would be the bike for me, just can't give up the grunt yet. I'm only 60 and not wise enough yet. LOL
Great review..bike looks great in that colour scheme 👌. Let's hope the vaccines do the trick and we can get back to some sort of normal (whatever that is!!). Happy Christmas Nerb 🎄!
Nerb, I previously saw you riding a KTM 790 and you seemed very happy with it, so what prompted you to get the over hyped T7? Personally, I think in a couple of years Yami will be forced to bring this bike into the 21st Century (similar to what they've done with the Tracer GT) at which point it might be quite an attractive package.
Really sharp looking bike, I agree with a lot of the others that is how the exhaust should have been from the factory, if you guys can make it so it dont have to be welded I think it would sell very well
I guess if one were to use pannier racks, like a set of Tusk racks for example, that would negate the need to redo the exhaust hanger As the pannier rack would take the impact?. Is weight the reason why you aren’t using racks? Any concerns on wear through of the pannier seat with strap rubbing?
Nice and to the point video. ... you got a new subscriber ! :) I have the same issue with the tail section breaking and I didn't even have bags on it ... I guess you used regular epoxy or something for boats? Love the changes made and that exhaust is very interesting, is the midpipe made of welded sections or just cleverly bent? I am also wondering how the passenger pegs fit with your exhaust. Do you have a link to the photos you mentioned. Keep up the nice work ...
Thanks mate! Sorry to hear about the plastic... yes, its very weak. I used JBWeld plastic bonder. I think its about the best epoxy bond you can get for abs plastic. Midpipe is welded... by a professional ;) Actually I havnt checked the pillion pegs. I have a little bracket for typing my bags. I will check and get back to you. Or maybe more detail in the new year when I get Peter in front of the camera to talk about it.
That sub frame piece is piss weak on the RHS, my bike has 200kms, 1 crash off road and when installing B&B bashplate had a world of trouble with those black bolts being stripped and bar being way off centre once taken out.
Hey Nerb1, what make are your levers please? Sold my 1190 to get T700 as well, still waiting for it but I'm doing a list of things to get already :) On your rackless panel situation, Adventure Spec in the have a product that might help.
Saw a T7 in Cessnock NSW today with an identical sticker kit getting towed on a trailer. Then later outside Chris Watson motorcycles. Didnt get a good look because I was working, but you're not in the Hunter Valley NSW by any chance??
@@Nerb1 Yeah I saw that the tail rack is being used in that setup with the MOSKO Reckless :) ...was rather meaning if the abrasion happens maybe on the tail’s sides ...I have some Ortlieb backs on my XJR tail and they´ve grinded the tail a bit after a while :) Cheers
Hi Nerb, merry Christmas and thank you for this vid. Does your tank bag scratch/ scuff the tank? If so, do you have any solutions to prevent such marks occuring?
I can only suggest using good thick stickers on the tank... a tank bag will always scuff things, especially when the dust gets under it. My sticker kit has protected it well so far, but its only 4000km old.
love the no bullshit vids, with you and the mvdbr crew put up for us, i have a 2016 twin but i,m vertically challenged bought the lower seat, the lust racing shock lowering link only ta realise im just too fuckin small (63 kilos) friend bought a t7 and i couldnt believe how light it was but way too tall but i just want one love the twin but have ta face reality it,s just too fuckin heavy for me, new year by hook or by crook i,ll get me mits on a t7 so keep feedin me urge for the 7 it,s all that keeps me goin, and again thanks for the hours of entertainment and look forward ta more, happy whatever ya celabrate yer self from ireland. christy.
@@Nerb1 thx, I guess I have seen that on there site but didn't think much of its looks there. Looks way better (awesome actually) on your bike than it does in the web pic
@@Nerb1It was the first accessory I put on my T7 and I took it off after a few hundred miles. I have the Hepco Becker. When standing on the balls of my feet, the spring mechanism on the right hand side was always in the way of my heel so my foot position felt too restricted. I also cut the little stem that sticks out from the stock side stand off for the same reason. Now I can stand a lot more comfortably and not feel cramped.
Yes I have. th-cam.com/video/kPP31SN1Nw8/w-d-xo.html Im only going from memory, but I think the T7 is easier to ride and more nimble. The 990 is obviously more grunty. The 950/990 is like an old muscle car... a bit rough but a classic.
Every report I see about these T7's,seems to revolve around crashing and crash damage..............is there a chance these bikes are being used for something they arent made for? Ive done 51K on my DR65O in all sorts of gnarly ugly stuff,and lots of gravel miles.............but no crashes. No roll bars or roo bars needed. Bike is sound still .
@@Nerb1 If crashing and thrashing big bikes is fun,have at it! Whats fun is going fast,going sideways,passing everyone else...crashing is not the plan...people break body parts crashing big bikes.
@@bradsanders6954 Yep, each to their own. I think going fast is dangerous. Keep racing to the race track I say. Thats a great way to get hurt. Your idea of a crash is probably different to mine. I like to explore the country and that means trying to get places that are a challenge. Occasionally this means falling over. Ive never had an injury in my life (touch wood).
Cool setup, I still have the oem bash plate and need to change it asap. As for the water pump, touratech (which I am not big fan of) has a little protector that takes 3 minutes to mount and will do his job if somehow you get that stone there, it's cheap and easy so worth the piece of mind. shop.touratech.com/water-pump-protection-for-yamaha-tenere-700.html Anyhow your bash plate slmost covers the pump pipes
if your friend gos through with making a kit with no welded required he could quit his job for sure pls make a video or a poll to see how many will buy one lol
I like you exhaust better then anything else I’ve seen on these. Nice shirt!
Yup, best looking exhaust I have seen
Yes, I would love the details ... where who etc?
Ya know ya have made it when the snake watches your vids

The water pump spare was mentioned in the Tenere 700 fleet review by the owner of Ride ADV in Australia.
To help save those plastics under the mosko look at the rear luggage racks from AdventureSpec, they sit close to the bike and are very lightweight

Thanks for the info Nerb will defiantly be getting a T7 one day when the bank balance will allow it. I was thinking of the exact content here as in a list of what to get along with the actual bike.
Looks better then oem and camel version i say. I think it looks handcrafted and machined, and that is cool. A bit like stock, but not. Good sound too.
Another great video with useful info - thanks and safe riding.
Merry Christmas. If I were to get rid of my 1290 this would be the bike for me, just can't give up the grunt yet. I'm only 60 and not wise enough yet. LOL
Yes, the 1090/1190/1290 grunt is addictive! Hard to go past!
Ingenuity at it's best for reinforcing the plastics!
Great review..bike looks great in that colour scheme 👌. Let's hope the vaccines do the trick and we can get back to some sort of normal (whatever that is!!). Happy Christmas Nerb 🎄!
Have you tried the Eurostan Blizzards ( they are shaped like a sock 🧦 Brilliant) but if you looked at them go the Medium as a minimum.
Merry xmas nerb loving the T7 looking awesome
Happy holidays Nerb! That T7 is looking great!
I thought the "Riding with Tom" sticker would be the first to fall off

Love your mods. Merry Xmash. Ciao, Marco.
Here's to ya Nerb. Thanks for all your contributions.
Merry Xmas to you and yours Nerb1
Looks like I got a lot of good ideas of things I want to make for my T7 when I get a chance to buy one. Right now they are not easy to find.
Informative as always mate 👍👍 thank you again
Thanks very informative. Enjoy learning new Aussie words too haha.
Merry Christmas! Great info mate!
Same as everyone else, nailed the exhaust, if you can come up with a good looking heat shield, you will sell shit loads.

Not really. It covers the computer and all the wiring. I would be worried about sticks and debris damaging things.
