Rob went offroading for 3 days on my Tracer 900, it was simply fantastic. Came back a bit bruised and extremely tired. Can believe the Tracer took the terrain with little issues
Thats awesome ! did you guys tent it or found rooms. hope to see some images through our shared social. nice to hear you are back safe and sound, bruises make for great stories... Cheers Rob
Hi Rob, thank you for your explanation. Maybe I'm getting old and stupid -:) but why do you need to cut the cable and use a wire slice connector if after a few rotations of the side stand you can turn on the engine again? Or do I miss something. Krgds Ray
They don't all brake the same. I lucked out on mine where it was spinning on itself where my buddies exploded into pieces.. eventually min no longer worked ether. Again you can splice and connect wires or use a connection like I made. Both work same way in the end..
One of the first things I did was delete the side stand switch. It's still there, but tucked up inside the skid plate in the "stand up" position. I figure my 1000 lb Harley doesn't care if the kickstand is down...
Nice info Rob. By the way I was wondering that park2park has a message on their web site that its sold out on tickets to trail. Where do you get your tickets to trails.
Like the way you think ! Do remember I am also on the dark ninja side with Suzuki... got some good trails ahead with her this coming weekend !!! Yep. The T7 staying home and playing with with Suzuki.... 🤣🤣🤣
there are a few places that offer it or you can even make your own at a great price. you can check via aliexpress for a DIY kit. I found that to be best offered, just search for a 2 Pin Sumitomo Female Male Kit Auto Connector
Hate being negative - but all i wanted was to see where to go to install the bipass- vid is way too long , Rob uses so many words when one will do. Hope this is viewed constructively.
Don´t over do it. Unbolten it, reposition it, secure it. Then, if you want to put it back in its original postion before selling it, just bolt it back. No cutting or mutilation needed. I could make a video using 5000 words for no reason to explain it, but why?
It's not a tutorial on how to eliminate the switch. It's a how to get yourself going if your on the trail and it fails. If it failed then guarantee its broken and need to be replaced therefore it makes no difference whether you cut it. Thus for the 5000 words if explaining which wasn't enough to be Clear for some people 😁😁 Thanks for your feedback Rob
Thanks for sharing Rob! You did a very good job explaining how it can break and what options you have in terms of fixing 👍
Thank you for your support and kind feedback !
Cheers and be safe.

@@itsadyerthingI see. Understood. Thanks for your reply!
You have a link to the plug you purchased to make the bypass jumper?
Chk better skid plates too to avoid this problem altogether - In my opinion Thor skids pretty well...
Thanks for the informative suggestion.
Cheers

I'm getting used to it but I'll swap it out once received.
Thanks for the feedback and support.

I've done the same repair on every Yamaha I have owned, as well as my Triumph 800 Tiger.
And off road bikes seem to do just fine without them as well?

Good video Rob. The only surgestion I can give you is buy a Suzuki.
Like the way you think !

Yamaha is the number one rated reliability brand by the way LOL
@@ThomasFunnyCarGuy 100% absolutely, always be my first pick when it comes to motorcycles.
@@ThomasFunnyCarGuy no way Ktm hands down better
@@ThomasFunnyCarGuy and more reliable
Where did you buy the white bypass switch connector?

No self respecting T7 owner would ever just cut and join wires together. That type of hack is strictly reserved for the DR650 owners
Hahahah but question is, where would the garbage can mod come in play on such hack ? 🤣 thanks for the support.
Cheers
Rob
What about a new T7 owner that still owns his DR650? 😂

And that's how the birth of Tiktoc came to be 😉😉
