Can't wait. I'm slapping a tarp and some food on my T7 this afternoon to go across Canada. I just got word that my dad passed away yesterday, so I have 4 days to go 4500km to say goodbye to the old fella. All pavement, boring as hell but not the first time I've done it. Hotels and airplanes not an option this time so... soldier on. 👍
I'd love to see a ride with Adam, Rodney, Chris Birch and Lyndon Poskitt railing across Australia. Great riders, top shelf mechanics, humble but assertive outlook. And amazing ambassadors of the sport.
I am not an adventure bike fella but I have an MT07 with a full titanium Akra system on mine, and anyone who hasn't heard the CP2 in person should know that you'll never get the full sound experience like you would in person These engine bark so hard 👌
I just find it amazing how you can carelessly ride without crashbars and luggage racks to protect the exhaust, personally i just can’t afford to lay ‘er down but i’d love to have less weight on her. Must be the perks of years of experience in the saddle and sponsors. Hope one day i’ll be half as good as you are. I missed the whole summer because of a shattered collar bone, random guy didn’t give me right of way. I’m sad about my first bike, she’s a bit crooked now, but still going (cause of the crashbars and racks) But thanks to insurance i’m close to buying my dream bike. Can’t wait to rewatch all your T7 videos when that happens. Hands down the best adventure channel on TH-cam and the reason why i picked up motorcycling in the first place!
Thanks, Adam! I’m happy that you’ve been sprinkling in some of your life’s philosophy about adventure and why we do these things. I love the outdoors and appreciate all of God’s gifts; the mountains, earth, animals…and riding motorcycles gives me the ability to enjoy more of those things than I ever could do on foot. Adventure, and sucking the marrow out of life is what it’s all about! ✌️🙏
Seems to me the T7, with you’re mods is with out doubt the best ADV. It’s obvious you like it and I think you’re the best to know. Yamaha should be employing you.
I hope that my T7 appreciates the relaxed and easy life it has ! It is constantly fed on the best sustenance, the best lubricants, the best shoes, but I also wish I could work it like you do Adam. Great video, again, and looking forward to the trip video.
You got me into this bike. I now own a 24 T7. Can't thank you enough for all the tips in the other videos. It has helped me grow confidence! Getting ready for my first long-distance moto trip at the end of August. So stoked! Its hot as hell here in Arizona and I don't care I still ride every day.. 600 miles in 6 days.. long commute LOL. Anyways you're a badass dude and I love your content!
@@MotologyFilms We are all with you there. Your videos have been the (most significant) driving force towards getting into MX. Riding 38 years, have 9 bikes, R1's, Fazers etc. Am on the black-top track each season. Now getting the needed MX training and tips in my old age by 8 time Dutch/EU champion Marcel van Drunen. His 15 year old son is now 12th ranking in 125.
Before you go too far into the bush pull the paper standard air filter and bin it, they dont stop really fine dust, teneres come with a foam filter that is much better. Had far too many bikes come into alice still with the paper filter in and always have dust past the filter, can recommend using pre filter aswell they make a mess but they help.
Adam, it’s a real joy to get a new video and catch up with what’s happening way over there with you. Hoping you’ll still come visit and ride with us over here 🇺🇸 in the near future. Cheers to you and your family fine sir! 💪🏽 🙏🏽 🏍️💨
I did the spring upgrades after you suggested it on the Darkhorse 2.0. I can't believe the difference! I'm fairly new to off-road riding but my confidence went up exponentially after those mods.
Losing 12 kg on the World Raid is quite a bit, without sacrificing comfort. And pimping it up to withstand your speed. Looking forward to your ride. Your videos are outstanding, Günter/Nürnberg
Geez there's been some 🌧️ rain at the dirt kitchen while uve been away mate. You have such good mates Adam, looking forward to seeing the next part with Rod
I envy you, colleague! Here in Hungary, we push it very poorly. I am an agricultural machine mechanic and agricultural horticultural engineer, I work on tractors and parks at the university here. I plow, sow, plant, remove bushes and trees. The salary here is so miserably small that my T7 engine, bought new in 2022, has only driven 2,900 km so far. I just couldn't get enough gas in it. It got moldy. Yes. I was also able to buy the motorcycle because our mother died and left me a small sum for a motorcycle. Yes. Now I'm going to try the neighboring country, Austria, where I'm going to take on a job as a water-gas heating engineer. If I'm lucky, I'll buy a big piece of land myself, farm it and ride an off-road motorcycle. Our daughter is now 22 years old, she also started riding off-road motorcycles two years ago, but she outgrew her Chinese motorcycle and sold it, but she can't buy another one because she doesn't have a job. Well, congratulations on your channel. I hope that in a year we will already be living and working in Austria and will have a swimming pool and an off-road motorcycle. I think you're a lucky guy. Congratulations! Have a nice day!
Adj el valamit, es motorozz a T7-tel.

Nezd meg Adam TET-es turnejat sokat lehet tanulni belole, marmint, hogy mely orszagokban van offroad szabadsag..
Makes me want to buy a T7 just so I can support the projects through the gear you build for them. Learned so much and I’ve applied a lot of it to my CRF1000L AT and it’s made a world of difference. Can’t wait to se more of this adventure.
I cant wait to watch your new adventure ill have something to watch while fixing my africa twin as i had an accident in the city whn i got back from 2k road trip on greek mountains thank you for being there to inspire more people to just do it!!
I love your work man keep the vids coming enjoy watching these vids on my lunch break at work gives me motivation to ride my bike on my own ❤thanks Adam
Nice to see some ADV bikes getting used, my transalp has been a garage queen for the past six months, even though it's kitted out as if to circle the globe. I've promised myself a trip to the little desert region of Victoria this spring. Looking forward to following your trip.
I've owned a 1290 SA S 2018 since new, which I like to take my misses out on trips with me on. But the more I see the T7, the more I want to get into off-road riding. You're truly an inspirational person and a pleasure to watch your stories. I need to decide if I want to dump my KTM (which has been my dream bike for years), convert it to off-road riding, sell it and get a T7, or keep it for road use, and get a T7 for off-road use! Too many choice. Too little money haha! Love your vids. All the best.
I just rode my Aprilia Tuareg 11,000 kms from Texas to Ontario then across Eastern Canada and back home. Prep was new tires, oil and filter change. It worked perfectly.
Adam, Love your take on what an adventure bike should be. Definitely not everyone's idea and I'm sure some just hate you for being so frank, especially about luggage 😂 My 890r has been slowly stripped back over the past two years, sat at 174kg on the scales last week (all fluids no fuel) Luggage is low and forwards and I've got that down to 13kg. 187kg with luggage ready for fuel, 9kg under the dry weight of a stocker 😎 super light with proper tyres on and heavily modded suspension, going back to ride a stocker they feel like one of the big Rihno 1250's 😮 Its "my" 890 now, no need for the lastest offerings from the factory just to have to do it all again. Keep the vids coming 🤙
Perfect set up mate, most will never understand. The Motonomad 500EXCs I set up were the same concept but lighter again ... you could ride them at Rally pace all day, then set up camp and be comfortable, cook etc.
@@MotologyFilmsyour early vids on the 500 almost had me back into a big single after some time away from dirt bikes, awesome stuff mate. I raced 125 from 15 into my 20's, MX/enduro - love em, pinned, heavy clutch work and keep em signing. Cant beat hunting down a big bike when you have superior corner speed 😎. I'd take one of the new 150's and happily throw some bags on and go off on that. Later I went with the newage and the first thumper YZ's with the Genesis heads, for the day they were super smooth (not like the big Husky and the Rotax lumps). It took some time, but big parallel twin motor has really grown on me and at the current weight personally for me it's ended up a balance between a super light 500. No getting away from the fact the motors are wide, but it is what it is. Depending on what gearing I stick on it, it has the legs to be stupid quick on the black stuff or drop it - (2 down, 3 up) and ride it like a five speed with a crawler first gear. With that gearing it truly does feel.like big enduro bike, but maxes out short of a Ton on the black stuff
Another great trip coming up... Just got done 8h ride today troughout French TET with my warehouse. I'm thinking to modify the fork and the shock. Make it even more perfect! Cheers from France 🇫🇷
Hi Adam, what great adventures you have had lately. We enjoyed it and you have given us new energy for the next adventure in Europe. Thank you! For us you are also a Legend. That's why we're already looking forward to your adventure with the WR. I'm also curious about your Bashplate. Is this suitable for the standard T7 Euro 5 in Europe? Then this one goes under mine. Thanks mate!
Get it sorted Adam otherwise he's going to regret it. Remember the golden rule, make sure everything is right before setting off. Good luck, can't wait for this one.
Cool bike Adam. I did similar mods to my trusty KLR and what a difference. Now I just need to find an extra 40 to 50 horsepower for the old donkey....haha Looking forward to watching you journey.
Good flik. Learning the weaknesses. Pretty damn heavy machine to begin with. Like 20 or more KG's added to it and more with the metal protection. Someday one may be sold in the USA but I not counting on it. Like to have the lower tank setup. Too expensive to do the Dakar type factory parts. All good. Safe travels Interesting to follow this ride. Rodney knows his shit
Another brilliant video. One of the best channels on You Tube. Can I ask what system you use for navigation when you are in the sticks out of internet reception
Got out of Adv bikes 5 yrs ago and back into the 2T enduro bikes (TE 300I). But man am I missing the Adv stuff lately...your vids are not helping my itch BTW lol. Love the T7, but will have to wait for the World Raid for a while yet here in Canada. Love your vids Riemann. Your no bull shit, to the point and realistic journeys are World Class buddy! Dan, NB Canada
Well, yamaha engineers giving this bike stronger chain did it not without reason. From the technical book: "Bikes with bigger squat experience Increased Load on the Chain: As the rear suspension compresses during acceleration, more force is transmitted through the chain to the rear wheel. This increased load can place more stress on the chain, particularly if the bike has high torque or is ridden aggressively. Torque Transfer: Bikes that squat more tend to transfer a significant amount of torque through the chain, especially during hard acceleration. A stronger chain is better equipped to handle these forces without stretching, snapping, or wearing out prematurely. Chain Wear and Tear: With more squat, the chain may experience additional wear due to the constant changes in tension as the suspension compresses and rebounds. A stronger, higher-quality chain can better resist this wear, maintaining performance and safety. Chain Length Variations: Squatting can cause slight variations in chain length as the distance between the front and rear sprockets changes during suspension movement. A stronger chain with better elasticity and tensile strength can accommodate these variations more effectively without compromising its integrity." To sum up, yamaha exactly knew why they put stronger chain on T7. I'm not going to change it, especially the weigh is down low.
All good points but 520 and 525 have the same pitch and pin size generally so strength isn't an issue. A 525 with it wider roller should experience less wear over time on both chain and sprockets. The 520 conversion is for performance not longevity. I wouldn't expect to get 20k out of it like a 525.
You have seen the strength of the 520 chains ? They are as strong as any other.... I've done 630 to 520 and 530 to 520 conversions and the 520's i'm using are way stronger than the chains I replaced, and on bikes with way more HP.........
The other issue is unsprung weight. I use mitas tyres and when I first put them on my WR I really noticed the extra unsprung weight. You take pounds off and you put them on. It's all about balance and performance. Many wouldn't notice or be bothered and that's fine. Some people like to get things how they like it.
Agree 100%, just a waste of money and potentially reliability, just leave the chain and sprockets stock. I Virtually never have to adjust the chain on my T7 over 15k kms so far.
I don’t know how Honda has skipped on giving you a small tank crf1100 to transform it to an off-road beast, and lets you roll on a T7, even after all the warhorse saga, would be epic 🤷🏻♂️
This is mint would love to do a similar build, not many places to ride motocross anymore and hard to get out so may aswell make the move to an adventure bike

Sorry for your loss.

“I’m taking it easy because it’s not mine.” CLUNK, BANG, POW!!! 🤣😂 Gotta love it
I love to see someone equally capable at both riding and wrenching. It's a lost art in this day and age.
"She'll look pretty secondhand in about a months time" That's what I like to hear when it comes to adventure bikes.

Oh yes! That would be epic! Im up for that one.

Guna be a wicked trip mate nice to see the paddock green too have fun ride safe ooroo

Made some quick adjustments to preload n clickers and she's pretty solid now. Rod will dial in the rest when he's on it ...
What is going on man. With this music these videos are 1000% better! Live the editing!
Glad to see you back on the T7, making me jealous again :)

The annual weathering of winter.
13:29 - “Legend” with proper sound to it! 🙏
Cool Adam, looking forward safe travelling
Talk about a eargasm that thing sounds amazing
Can't wait for the trip series. If I ever become a full time moto TH-camr I'll make a trip to Australia
Yeah also looking forward to this adv.. lekker video

I added the LSK ABS module to my World Raid… so much nicer and easier switch ABS on and off through the dash button… a must do addition/ modification
Me too. One of the best mods for the bike and absolutely how it should have shipped from the factory.

Love the T7, but will have to wait for the World Raid for a while yet here in Canada. Love your vids Riemann. Your no bull shit, to the point and realistic journeys are World Class buddy!

Perfect timing Adam, I'm planning to go to the Northcape on the TET next month, so only 3 weeks left to prepare my bike.
Hey Adam! Hope you’re doing great!
Be safe, and have fun… 👍

💪💪💪💪
click for the algorithm, stay for the flogging!
Haha .. thanks for watching
Looks you are preparing it for a rally rather to a long trip 😀
Back home on the T7! Love your vids man! 😎 making the skid plates for sale would be awesome!
amazing
Well, yamaha engineers giving this bike stronger chain did it not without reason. From the technical book: "Bikes with bigger squat experience Increased Load on the Chain:
As the rear suspension compresses during acceleration, more force is transmitted through the chain to the rear wheel. This increased load can place more stress on the chain, particularly if the bike has high torque or is ridden aggressively. Torque Transfer: Bikes that squat more tend to transfer a significant amount of torque through the chain, especially during hard acceleration. A stronger chain is better equipped to handle these forces without stretching, snapping, or wearing out prematurely. Chain Wear and Tear: With more squat, the chain may experience additional wear due to the constant changes in tension as the suspension compresses and rebounds. A stronger, higher-quality chain can better resist this wear, maintaining performance and safety.
Chain Length Variations: Squatting can cause slight variations in chain length as the distance between the front and rear sprockets changes during suspension movement. A stronger chain with better elasticity and tensile strength can accommodate these variations more effectively without compromising its integrity." To sum up, yamaha exactly knew why they put stronger chain on T7. I'm not going to change it, especially the weigh is down low.
All good points but 520 and 525 have the same pitch and pin size generally so strength isn't an issue. A 525 with it wider roller should experience less wear over time on both chain and sprockets. The 520 conversion is for performance not longevity. I wouldn't expect to get 20k out of it like a 525.
You have seen the strength of the 520 chains ? They are as strong as any other.... I've done 630 to 520 and 530 to 520 conversions and the 520's i'm using are way stronger than the chains I replaced, and on bikes with way more HP.........
The other issue is unsprung weight. I use mitas tyres and when I first put them on my WR I really noticed the extra unsprung weight. You take pounds off and you put them on. It's all about balance and performance. Many wouldn't notice or be bothered and that's fine. Some people like to get things how they like it.
Agree 100%, just a waste of money and potentially reliability, just leave the chain and sprockets stock. I Virtually never have to adjust the chain on my T7 over 15k kms so far.
A standard bike is not your bike!! …… But Don’t change things you dont understand 🇸🇪🤠
I don’t know how Honda has skipped on giving you a small tank crf1100 to transform it to an off-road beast, and lets you roll on a T7, even after all the warhorse saga, would be epic 🤷🏻♂️
Yes 🥳 cant wait to see some more tenere action
This one looks to be Epic, Safe Journey
This is mint would love to do a similar build, not many places to ride motocross anymore and hard to get out so may aswell make the move to an adventure bike
