I’ve made the Alaska/Prudhoe Bay/Tuktoyaktuk trip several times on my BMW 1200GS. The next time I’d like to try it on a smaller bike. I have a Husqvarna 701 that I might use if I can get the extra fuel and luggage sorted out. I’m 71 now and I can see myself moving to a smaller bike in the future like the 890.
You got me cracking up when the plate cover fell off and you decided the show must go on. If its any consolation I have been shooting vids for years now with no license plate covers and have not yet been murdered. I figure if any old creep can see it at a gas station or going down the road a video can't be a whole lot worse.

I don't even ride motorbikes, despite being surrounded by them my whole life. I'm 32 this year and I'm getting divorced soon. The T7, to me, is perfect, and once I learn to ride I'll be looking to get one. It just seems perfect. Time to start living my life. This video was awesome!
Riding is unbelievably therapeutic. I’ve been riding for a while and this is would be a great bike to learn on. Just the seat height might intimidating but don’t be. Once u get used to it u won’t be an issue. No bike will ever check all boxes but this is pretty close. U can buzz around the city, tour and take it off road and it doesn’t have all the aids so u will actually learn how to ride.... like we all did ten years ago. Think also this is the most reliable engine on the market.
Great upgrades, specially for serious riding. How about a list in the description. I think you kinda stepped over that "minimalist" line with the graphics :). But any engine mods for a bit more power or responsiveness in the works? So...why wash it? Dirt is corrosive and will destroy the finishes on *all* the surfaces, not to mention that it's a first-class abrasive that loves to hide anywhere there is a hinge or some kind of articulation. Clean is good.
John W thanks! Full exhaust is on the way. And good points on cleaning. Those graphics are a bit over the top, but I do like them! Panache. 😂 I do need to get a list together as well. New to this type of YouTubing.
“I’m a minimalist” me, looking at my 98 XR 400 with a 2 gallon tank bungiecorded I’m the back for range. I have only ridden it to Wyoming and Texas from Nevada
Man you have a nice garage setup, pc ready to look things up. Nice space to work, beautiful mx 5, tenere. Living the dream man. Yeah, those rear pannier frames are very wide man. Not sure if the 700 comes out with anything narrower. On my 660 I have standard Yamaha boxes which sits much tighter to the bike, but still too wide for me. At the least the frame hugs the bike much closer. You're almost as wide as a car now. But guess on back roads, there'll be less overtaking or lane splitting.
Francois Nel yes sir. They are wide. I will use them on a multiple day trip but otherwise remove them.

Ok. Many bloggers show their upgrades at some kind of shops. Do You own the shop, or do You rent time in the shop, maybe it is a club's shop. How is it working?
Hes got what a grand in extras? 1500? And it's setup. I like what hes done. I'd like to rig up my saws, gas, wedges, axe, hardhat & ride my bike out to fall timber! My T7 gears are turnin.
Great video, thank you! Your bike looks great! In which color did you order your Tenere - "Competition White" or "Power Black"? Best regards from Austria!
Gorgeous bike. Graphics are great. The high mud guard is all it needs. (Those foot pegs looked ginormous though. Having clipped a peg on a trail bike, and went down hard, they make me nervous).
@@waltersprang What about strap mounted soft bags? I know it's a bit more hassle but it would keep the bike looking slim whilst still offering a degree of protection in a tumble on rough terrain.
Keyboard Dancers my buddy is running the mosko Moto reckless system. Pretty cool and a lot of straps. Both are good solutions depending on personal preference I guess. I like having a place to mount rotopax, too
My T7 will arrive in January. Have plenty of time to upgrade it. Will do an Acerbis or the Australian? big tank. Several same or similar parts. Have you made a big trip to the north country yet. Live up that way Fairbanks in summertime.
I've been saving up quite a while for this bike, eating rice and frying up spam digging holes on my day's off.. by golly!.. I reckon I'll have enough end of November. ~ charmed life
Very nice setup ! I think maybe your transversal bar on the crash bar is upside down..... could you please have a look? That bar can be mounted on 4 different directions.... it should follow the radiator... If not it can touch the exhaust pipe or be very close. I made that mistake on mine.....
No trae tensor o deslizador de cadena, en offroad se va a salir, tampoco la versión rally, mal por yamaha, corrijan eso y será una moto completa, pero tu versión si lo trae, ves lo importante que es 👌🏻
Looking good! When are you coming to Alaska? Been enjoying my T7 here since June. I’ve got mixed feelings about the high fender mount. The looks of the high mount is the best but the amount of dirt and mud the OEM keeps off the engine and radiator is great. Not sure how much calcium chloride you’ve rode in but once it dries it’s hard as a rock and say goodbye to cooling. Bike looks amazing!
I hope to come in June 21 (Canada has to be open!). I have heard about the calcium chloride being an issue and a bike wash is a must after riding through it! I did get the high fender mounted and it looks great and appears it will be functional, but with more exposure on the radiator for sure.
Nice one mate. I pick my T7 up on Wednesday the 16th of September, and apart for the rear pannier racks you have, my setup is very similar to yours. I will be making the wheels tubeless via a conversion once the tyres are worn out. Keep the shiny side up.
Just got a 700 on Saturday! So stoked. My first Twin, as Ive only owned single cylinder dirt bikes my entire life. Wanting to go further so this is the bike for me. Im curious to who you got the brake and clutch levers from? Do you have a link? Id really appreciate it as the stock ones on there are massive. Cheers
I’ve been on a lot of those dirty road south of Mason and even crossing the Llano River in several places. I’ve followed some Overlander routes. I ride a Triumph Tiger with Bridgestone AX41 Adventurecross tires. Enjoy the T7.
Nice mods, congrats. I bet over time you might want to consider a more comfy seat for those long trips to Alaska. It'd great if you share the links for the suppliers here. Tons of good stuff. Walter, it seems that all your buying is the reason the stock market keeps going up. Farkle up! 😎
I do need to add links for sure. Trying to figure that out. And I am hoping I am doing more mental health good but if the stock market goes up so be it! 😂
Great looking bike! What part of Texas are you from? I got my T7 about two weeks ago in west Texas and have a little over 1400 miles on it. I took a trip to New Mexico.
High, think about the foot-pedal again. The bigger one touches the ground much earlier if you make a turn or drive through a curve/corner. Kindly Fiete
Tannenherz Bushcraft are you speaking of the brake pedal or the foot pegs? I assume the pegs. For this bike I do not ride it that aggressive in the turns and it is pretty high compared to other machines. It is certainly a wake up call when you scrape them!
Thanks man! I really cannot as I did not weigh them before putting them on. For me, the weight factor is minimal compared to the protection and ability to carrier soft luggage. I will not be doing really gnarly off road riding but am not as accomplished of a rider as some either. I bet the people at Outback Motortek could give the weight specs. Make sure you go to the USA site.
Great job. Just curious.... are you happy with the suspension (other than the heavier rear spring you are going to add for additional weight)? Any plans to do anything to the forks?
Stu H. I may be considering it as a stage 2 project, after I have had the opportunity to ride a lot more on the dirt. I did do a 90 N meter spring on the back due to my weight
I currently ride a big 290kg VFR1200X Crosstourer. I too use crash bar bags (2x 12L). They distribute the weight more evenly and act as airbags when you do tip over. I've been wanting the T7 since summer 2019 when I had an hour of test riding. I'm a novice/intermediate offroader, but I could rip the **** out of this bike 5 min after I left the dealer and went offroad. Brought a handbrush with me to return the bike clean and tidy ;). Can't wait for the first batch of used T7's to hit the market. This video nicely shoes all the accessories we currently have!
Amazing attention to detail and wow, what a super clean shop, impressive! I'd suggest checking out Mosko Moto soft (frameless) luggage. It's bulletproof, will sit closer to the bike, and save a ton of weight by eliminating those hefty steel, rear luggage racks.
Peter Ansel thanks! I looked at Mosko closely but decided for my needs the racks were more suitable for my personal needs. Planning on a long ride over 12k miles on the bike. Need to haul gas and water. When I ride local they are coming off!
i typically pick up routes and roads in the hill country out by the sisters and north of Fred. Also, check out Two Wheeled Texans site. They have a dual sport ride every third Saturday of each month I think.
Oh man Paul! I am not sure I can remember them all, but I'll give it a go on names if you google them. Camel ADV, Rally Raid in the UK, Outback Motortek USA, Yamaha (of course), Off the Road in Germany. Those ones are the biggies!
Paul Van Der Vyver gotcha. R&G is the water pump cover. I removed their sticker. I got the decal kit from SKDA in Australia. Several kits to choose from.
Hi Walter, great video thanks - could you post a link to the R&G tie down parts that you used to replace the pillion pegs? I'd like to add these to my own T7 :) Thanks!
Paul McKimm thanks! I searched amazon for quick charge usb Quick Charge 3.0 Car Charger, Higoing 12V/24V 36W Aluminum Waterproof Dual QC3.0 USB Fast Charger Socket Power Outlet Adapter LED Digital Voltmeter& Wire Fuse kit (Black) www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q6JGX1L/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_4VnrFb4QQDC9K
Sweet! Nice breakdown of your mods. I'm so curious as to that hunk of metal on that rack. I want to say its a Datsun 260. Trip to Alaska should be excellent. I've been wanting a T700 but dealers around here seem to be empty.
Your Tenere looks awesome! My favorite custom modded variant thus far. I'm in Austin TX, and we finally got one in town at the shop around the corner from my house, so I went in and sat on it yesterday. I have a TW200 and a '73 RD350. The Tenere is what I was looking into for a longer distant adventure bike. Unfortunately without lowering it, I don't think it works for me. I don't feel comfortable with how hight the seat height is. I am actually still concerned with it even if I get a lower seat and lowering link.... Sounds like you have a Super Tenere too, so you must not have any issues with the seat height :)
I cannot speak to lowering it, etc. but I just installed the rally seat and it added at least another inch in height. I’m 6’ 2” and starting to have to reach a bit. The super 10 has a Corbin in the lowered position
Had to chuckle when your plate cover fell off. Everyone covers there's for video. Are there that many thieves out there tracing plates? With all the firepower in civilian hands, why risk it?
That's a sharp looking bike!. Yamaha could take a lesson from your colour and decal treatment - that tank looks WAY better than the stock colour scheme, and really pops with the blue crash bars and rims. I will be interested to hear how the soft luggage works out - have just ordered one SW Motech Sysbag 15 and mounting plate for the rear SW Motech "Adventure Rack" before committing to side rack and panniers.
Are you a multi millionaire? Pol Tarras world trials champion rides his T7 stock. His TH-cam movie "seeker" is a must see for T7 owners. The standard T7 build will outstrip the skills of most riders, the rest is just gear porn.
Travelingman 1980 😂 I would venture to say that most riders could outride me on a 125! The beautiful thing about this bike for me is how I can make it individually something I like.
If you're going to go long distances then you might want a place to put your stuff ie panniers . Nothing wrong with crash bars either , saves you money and maybe more when you do drop your bike .
@@hardworkingamerican8847 if its your bike, customize it as you like, its only when you get fat pricks like Camel ADV who try to reinvent the bike and claim how good they are as a rider that pisses me off. Pol Terras proves my point, Yamaha knows more than Camel ADV when it comes to creating a off-road motorcycle. Pol Tarres rides a T7 like a light weight trials bike, it is unbelievable what he does on a stock T700. Also, I am sure you don't need another to tell you how to customize your likes and dislikes of your own bike.
@@Travelingman-1980 I think Camel ADV has some good mods for the T700 . I don't about him claiming to be a great rider but he does have some decent products . I like his high fender kit and if you see some videos that show the shortcomings of the stock fender then you would appreciate his efforts . I don't think I will be needing to much extras as I really can't go to far away for personal reasons but eventually I would like the ability and the gear to go on long adventures , God willing .
You did an awesome job on this bike! So cool! Looks ready for the Dakar!👍🏻 Best of luck with it. How does this bike cruise on the Highway? At 80-85 mph, are you up high in the revs? I’m asking because I have an 18’ Street Triple R and I’m thinking of trading it in for an Adventure bike or Sport Tourer now instead. I’d be commuting to work on the Highway a lot, so that’s why I’m asking. Great video!

All a motorcycle can do is drive, all the extra shit is mostly the companies trying to convince you that you need shit you don’t
T7 has got to be Yamaha's smartest two wheeled motoring innovation in many years.

I used the rally raid mount.
Pretty much the same route I am planning to go. Enjoy buddy.
Damn, you really know how to piss a a lot of people off huh? Great job, looks awesome, I wish it was mine
Kevin Roberts 😂
The givi look like darth vader helmet shape
How did you get the T7 in Texas? I can't find one anywhere 😫
Just a little bit of hunting around and found a small dealer south of Houston in July. I had not preordered.
My god what a nice job you did!! Looks awesome!!
Hi Walter, Love the bike and what you done with it. Where did you get the quick charge port from please?
Paul McKimm thanks! I searched amazon for quick charge usb

Good work fella
Колеса красивие и бак красивий. Мечта. Україна.
envy on these US accessories, probably way more cheaper then in my country they sell every bolt and screw with a 400% shop profit..
Sweet! Nice breakdown of your mods. I'm so curious as to that hunk of metal on that rack. I want to say its a Datsun 260. Trip to Alaska should be excellent. I've been wanting a T700 but dealers around here seem to be empty.
its a 76 280! I have it stripped down and ready to start putting it back together after I do the body work. :)
Your Tenere looks awesome! My favorite custom modded variant thus far. I'm in Austin TX, and we finally got one in town at the shop around the corner from my house, so I went in and sat on it yesterday. I have a TW200 and a '73 RD350. The Tenere is what I was looking into for a longer distant adventure bike. Unfortunately without lowering it, I don't think it works for me. I don't feel comfortable with how hight the seat height is. I am actually still concerned with it even if I get a lower seat and lowering link.... Sounds like you have a Super Tenere too, so you must not have any issues with the seat height :)
I cannot speak to lowering it, etc. but I just installed the rally seat and it added at least another inch in height. I’m 6’ 2” and starting to have to reach a bit. The super 10 has a Corbin in the lowered position
where did you buy STiFF things (stiffening tubes)
Camel ADV
Had to chuckle when your plate cover fell off. Everyone covers there's for video. Are there that many thieves out there tracing plates? With all the firepower in civilian hands, why risk it?
The Yamaha headlight guard has 1/4 turn removal bolts.
Jason Nadler thanks! I’ll check it out.
Awesome video. I’m loving my T7 so far.
Beautiful build. Superb.
What bran of your mirrors pls
Useful video thanks for sharing. What size is the Kriega bag on the front crashbars?
OS-6
@@waltersprang Thanks Walter.
That's a sharp looking bike!. Yamaha could take a lesson from your colour and decal treatment - that tank looks WAY better than the stock colour scheme, and really pops with the blue crash bars and rims. I will be interested to hear how the soft luggage works out - have just ordered one SW Motech Sysbag 15 and mounting plate for the rear SW Motech "Adventure Rack" before committing to side rack and panniers.
hello where did you bye the tail tidy ? is it from R&G

Are you a multi millionaire? Pol Tarras world trials champion rides his T7 stock. His TH-cam movie "seeker" is a must see for T7 owners. The standard T7 build will outstrip the skills of most riders, the rest is just gear porn.
Travelingman 1980 😂 I would venture to say that most riders could outride me on a 125! The beautiful thing about this bike for me is how I can make it individually something I like.
If you're going to go long distances then you might want a place to put your stuff ie panniers . Nothing wrong with crash bars either , saves you money and maybe more when you do drop your bike .
@@hardworkingamerican8847 if its your bike, customize it as you like, its only when you get fat pricks like Camel ADV who try to reinvent the bike and claim how good they are as a rider that pisses me off. Pol Terras proves my point, Yamaha knows more than Camel ADV when it comes to creating a off-road motorcycle. Pol Tarres rides a T7 like a light weight trials bike, it is unbelievable what he does on a stock T700. Also, I am sure you don't need another to tell you how to customize your likes and dislikes of your own bike.

I think Camel ADV has some good mods for the T700 . I don't about him claiming to be a great rider but he does have some decent products . I like his high fender kit and if you see some videos that show the shortcomings of the stock fender then you would appreciate his efforts . I don't think I will be needing to much extras as I really can't go to far away for personal reasons but eventually I would like the ability and the gear to go on long adventures , God willing .
wow looking awesome
You did an awesome job on this bike! So cool! Looks ready for the Dakar!👍🏻 Best of luck with it. How does this bike cruise on the Highway? At 80-85 mph, are you up high in the revs? I’m asking because I have an 18’ Street Triple R and I’m thinking of trading it in for an Adventure bike or Sport Tourer now instead. I’d be commuting to work on the Highway a lot, so that’s why I’m asking. Great video!
You forgot the bash plate.
It is outback motortek
I think I’d add Fasstflex bars and pegs and send the boingers to Noleen for tuning and set-up.
those r some old guy feet mods
Nice...I'm in the process of getting one. Will you list the products with links?
How much have you spent already? Looking to buy one....
whats your total cost? bike and all the accessories?
Christopher not even my wife knows that!
