Planning on living on the road with this bike for at least a year.
Cool😍
Nice plan, great bike for that
Plan on seeing this bike in the states some time this year lol
I thought the same thing when I saw this video 🤯
When...2023...not happening this year,and next year looks dubious? I've literally killed my Americas trip until then,pointless getting stuck somewhere!
This blue motorcycle is the most beautiful that I’ve seen in my life.Wow
Thank you for all the info, here in US we’re finally getting this bike. So much info
Glad to help!
Great discussions on mods made to refine setup for the rider and address vulnerable bits. This is an impressive motorbike that I will need to consider as a replacement for my competent, but heavy 2012 R1200GS.
Spings are to soft even in KTMs when your hitting everthing that these bikes are capeble off, get your springs changed and valving, it transforms your bike even on the road, and makes it more comfortable and safer , my bike used to dive in the front under hard braking into corners making for a difficult bike to control, upped my front fork springsto heavier ones and its a totaly different bike , Love It...
Great video, Dave! Lot of thought put into all the bikes and I appreciate seeing/hearing everyone's different approach! Thank you...ride safe!
Glad you enjoyed it! I wanted to do that for a long time
Very cool of you AUS guys to share. I am waiting for my T7 to make it to my USA dealer- and you all gave my some great ideas!
Our pleasure! That's what we wanted to do.
Great video and very educational, thanks for putting it together. So much more information than the ‘marketing’ reviews on TH-cam.
Glad it was helpful! That's what I was trying to do.
Thanks to All. From CT, USA.
Thank you too!
I absolutely love your Ténéré 700 series and learned so much, even before my bike purchase. All the suspension specialists input is so valuable so I know already today what I have to do in autumn.
Greetings from the North Sea on my cruise on board of MS NORRÖNA to Iceland, Bernd
Glad you enjoy it!
Don’t copy me guys, I went with the rackless setup from Wolfman and Outback Motortek ultimate adventure setup....
Now I’m waiting for everything to show up !!!!
Did you do anything to keep the plastic from getting scuffed up from the bags rubbing? Thanks
@@steveh1510 my friend put on a clear vinyl wrap. Worked great
Thats Awesome that they give away a bike once a year. How Cool is that. Also I recommend Motul brake fluid DOT 5.1 , Used in all DOT 3 and DOT 4Brake fluid bikes cars trucks, and can be mixed right in with whatever your currently using... If your fluids low... Just add the Motul brake fluid. I also use Motul Motorcycle Motor oil You can't beat it.. Bike runs cooler and much better.
I'm sponsored by Motul. Great oils.
Looking to buy a T7, thanks for the vital info!!!
I especially loved the effort and thought you have put on the suspensions. Normally people go for big names forgetting the load factor. Awesome and very informative video. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Glad you liked it!
They have soft panniers that hook right into the luggage rack you have
2 riders together is the best number because more than 2 you have higher chance of running into each other keep it 2 for long trips
I like 4.
I've just placed a purchase order for a T7! Now have to wait until October for delivery!! In the meantime, I'm soaking up as much knowledge as I can from your experience with T7's Dave. Your video's are very informative & are well worth watching. I'm not a 'gun' off-road rider but I think I'll be contacting Clive Ward with regard to a re-spring & re-value for a "good budget set-up". Thanks for a series of great videos.
touching base with Clive would be a very good idea. He owns a T7 and has a heap of knowledge about them.
My God, those Speedblock trad decal.kits just look stunning.
Want one.
Badly.
Brilliant vlog, regards,
YamFanboy....
They are stunning
G'day Michael: the red/white graphics on my bike come from SK Designs ... check out their web site www.skda.com.au as they have stacks of awesome looking retro themed graphic designs for the Tenere 700.
a total beast ..... best set up i have seen
I need one of those puffy Yamaha jackets!
New sub here! My 2018 KTM 1290S just got stolen so figuring out what to replace it with🤬 I like the 700 Tenere’ alot
welcome
Clubby - You should talk to Precision Motorcycle Racks in the USA for your rack. I'm sure they would be very interested in getting involved. They make one for the DRZ400 and it is utterly superb, just what you described on your want list.
Cubby, check out Altriders tail rack, seems to fit your needs. They also have an extension for the pillion seat. Top it off with Mosko 10l bags, heaven!
ta
One of the best mods for T7 IMO, helped me a lot with my choices
Glad it helped.
Not just my advice on OEM heated grips, plenty reviews out there: Stay well clear. They don't get hot. Even on full setting they are not half as hot as the Oxfords. I removed them and gave them back to the Yam dealer. Good of them to take them. Oxfords on now, plugged into the provided plug on the loom. Bliss!
Good to know! Thanks for sharing as I have always previously put on Oxfords.
Wrong..they get hot if you activate the right setting. You need to press the button for 5 seconds and press until 3 green lights apear. Else it running on low watts.
@@speedfreak9436 it still remains, nowhere near the Oxfords.
Shinko's are used in Canada a fair bit. I've never used them though, I've heard good things about them and cheap too!. Great vid you lads do such a good job with your adventure bike stories. Keep it in gear!!
Thanks for watching!
Sticker graphic scheme is 👌
I know a lot of riders carry camera gear and, like me, find the safest place to put it is on the tank. If everyone likes weight distribution of 790, why not make lockable compartment out of present gas tank location.?.
France and Japan build the T7, I wonder if there should have been a North American build too. Calgary has a modded T7 somewhat like one of yours.
Thanks Chris
👍. Bikes coming along quite nice. Maybe I expect to much from the premium price tag on these bikes especially if u look at the price of the world rally version. Which has been out for 2 or 3 years. Without any upgrades. The amount of things u need to buy to actually turn these bikes into a actual adventure bike is a bit ridiculous really. Just basic things like a chain guide, hand guards, crash guards ect. Then u get to the suspension. Which sounds like it’s designed for a 60-70kg rider + a bit of gear. Maybe I do expect to much for the premium price tag. I even looked at the price of a drz 400. The only upgrade it’s had in 3 years is the ridiculous upgrade in price of $ 2800. How does that work?
shinko back tyre would be crap in uk to wet over here. very good review some very good mods. yamaha back rack as it is is great for leverage when you fall off . very good mod on fork guards and no money.
great video, lots of great info for my new Tenere set up, thank you
Great to hear!
Chubby: Hepco&Becker minirack is the small rear rack that you’re looking for! 👌
I beg to differ, Joakim: the new Tenere 700 'Compact' rack from Aussie brand B&B Off-Road Engineering is the small rear rack I have found and now fitted.
The bling gods are strong with these ones.
Yep
This bike is awesome 👌 I heard there is a waiting list for this brand
Not that I know of
Great stuff...really enjoyed that...it's good to see how people are fettling their bikes, especially those guys who really know their Tenere's!. I'm super pleased with mine. Cheers, Steve
Glad you enjoyed it! I found it enjoyable to make. I learnt a lot.
Great video you lot, such good honest kit talk, every body likes good kit. Enjoyed it ... 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Great insights on fine tuning the ultimate adventure bike.
Glad it was helpful!
20:45.. What a view of that town behind
You guys are awesome the way you share all your hardwork and knowledge, fantastic show. But why why white saddle bags, a little bit bling adicted
He is!
Love everything about the T7, and really would love to pull the trigger on one. My only issue is the weight. 5'8''/160 (172cm/72kg), I currently
ride a WR250R and just love the bike. Only reason I am looking to get the T7 is longer freeway sections. I live in the states and you can't
really avoid longer freeway at times. Your a better rider than I am but, I thought you might be able to offer some thoughts. Everyone shows how to pick up a T7, but
its always on flat ground, nice grassy field, not tired from riding. Who cares......I want to know how it is when you dump it on a steep rocky hill, dead tired from riding all day, etc etc. I thought hard about a KTM 390 like but I really prefer the quality/reliability of Yamaha. The KTM 390 just seems like a cheep unreliable bike that will likely strand me in the middle of know where. Anyway love the channel and appreciate all the effort you guys put in. Thanks for any feedback.
Cheers
T7 you need mates when it falls on anything other than flat ground.
Sad to say that your, "this video is out one week after the T7 was released in the US", is wrong. Although the lucky US journalist have had fun on the T7, the general public are still waiting.
The video was great! I picked up a TON of ideas!! Thank you MADTV!!!
Sorry to hear that but people are picking them up. I've seen pics of hem being bought.
Yup, preorders started getting delivered 2 weeks ago. Keep up the great content MADTV!
Great vinyls on the white Tenere 👍
I love the genuine Yamaha white red color 👍
Me too!
I like the black...so I got one
Great video. I will say that if you put your GPS in a locking mount (28:30) it's probably best to swap out the Ram quick release handle for a nut (1/4-20 off the top of my head), so someone can't walk off with the whole thing.
Good point!
GPS pops out and goes in the tank bag when stopped for lattes, or with me when stopped overnight.
Just got a gently used 2019 Africa twin... Now I'm wondering if I should have waited!!
Just ride what you've got and have fun. The AT is a capable bike.
I hope I get to ride with you boys when my bikes done hey, love the videos guys.
You never know.
Great video. super informative and gives a lot of ideas and pointers. Great job!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video guys. Your love of the sport shines through. I am envious, not only of the great bikes and gear, but of your camaraderie, passion and adventurous spirit. Thanks to you, I now have an itch I have to scratch. Happy trails and best wishes from Upstate NY.
Much appreciated! Yes we do love our adventure bikes.
Great info. Thanks. How about a lithium battery for durability and 1-2 kilos off the original bike weight?
Great suggestion!
Like your detail review I was amused with heated grips, suppose it does get cold over there. I have lived Brisbane years ago and have family there so know it gets bloody cold some days. Here in UK ffffreezin
They just prevent fatigue.
So much information for me to absorb I think I need a new XXXXL helmet and this is months old info . You guys must have a lot more knowledge about what works and what doesn't by now . Plus I know there's more companies making more gear and accessories for the Tenere now . I am still waiting for a B&B bash plate but I might go with Altrider if theirs works with the SW Mototech center stand . Thanks for the video , will keep watching !
We'll be doing another All Things Tenere soon. There is lots to talk about because we've learnt a heap more about them.
Thanks for the video guys.
Certiantly alot of good accessories and ideas all you guys have come up with for the T7.
Thanks for watching!
For Clubby a bolt on wind deflectors are GOLD ! but you would probably need to take off for hard off road sections “ probably not practical for you mate
I agree. A bigger screen for me would mean a cut nose or worse. The OEM is the safe height for me and the correct balance between wind break and not chopping my nose off.
Motorcycle Adventure Dirtbike TV Clubby said he would prefer a larger screen
Yes, definitely want to try a taller screen on the 700, confident it should still be forward enough to avoid smacking my head/nose ... but then again, I do have a whopper XXXL size melon head!
and with all the mods the bike seems to be the same $ or a bit more than ktm 790 adv r, at least in EU where the price difference is less than 2000$. I test driven T7 and liked it a lot, but as a road rider I would love to have more power on the street. The ktm seems to offer that... Tough choice!
Good point!
Great video lads. Cheers 🍻
Glad you enjoyed it
I'm impressed nobody has a tubeless conversion kit.
And a question. Has any of you, using the R&G covers, noticed an increase in temperature?
No increase in temperature that I am aware of. Tubeless conversion available from Rally Raid Products UK I think.
Another great video. Cheers from Portugal. 👌
Thanks for watching!
@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV can you share the link to the pins to secure the seat? Thanks
I'd like to see for the next model update tubeless tyres and a cruise control option for long Australian sealed road jaunts (it's available on the other variants that use this motor). But I doubt Yamaha will do either. Nevertheless not a deal breaker.
That would be cool!
Excellent video, im new to Tenere, but on adv bikes for 10+ years, could I get some advice on tyres, i am planning a trip the the Pyrenees in Sept23 for a mix of the ACT and TET and need a tyre for 60/70 road and the rear on non paved and dirt.
Have no idea in Europe, what you can get and what value.
I'm in love with Paris Dakar colors set! White Red stripes! How did you get that awesome colors set??
Brilliant video 👍thank you 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it
Great review, I have a question about the comfort, I took a Tenere 700 for a 1 hour test ride from my local dealer and absolutely loved the bike, i had one small thing that bothered me and wanted to know if you experienced the same and if its adjustable, my right shin kept bumping into the right gearbox cover, is this a foot peg position issue or hight, will the higher seat change my leg angle ?
I had the same experience. It's the plastic cover around the clutch activaton arm. I was very noticeable when I sat down and not so when I sootd up. I now have plastic covers to protect my clutch housing so that piece of plastic has been removed.
@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV Thanks
If you ride on the balls of your feet like you should for sport road/road racing and off-road I find you don't really bump into it. If you're the type especially when sitting to move your foot foward on your pegs in a more relaxed riding position is when you'll bump into it.
que moto mas linda...
Why don't Yamaha have these color schemes? The blue bike and the yellow are beautiful!
excellent bike
We agree!
58:20 now that sounds like a proper bike!
Great looking
Sure is
Now I have to buy a tenere
Good idea
Thanks for such in depth info!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent
Thank you! Cheers!
Great setups 👍
We hope the T7 gets here to South African shores sometime past Covid-19 in - Maybe in 2022...
a good bike for a reasonable price
I see that Clubby has the SW-MOTECH crash bars. I'm thinking about getting these for my T7 when it comes in. Should I be concerned of the fact that they mount to the motor . I like that they don't cover the whole side and don't stick out . Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Guys, great video and full of very useful information. Can you let me know why you didn't opt for the Rally edition?
Not available at that time
Hello Dave,
still a very informative video with useful advice, even if you have already driven some km.
I have a T 700 Rally and sometimes come with my height (175 cm, 5.7 food) to the limit. Meanwhile it goes better and I have come to terms. A reduction in height I have not yet made and would like that only as an emergency.
To my question: Since the saddle is too high I can not climb directly but go first on the footrest and then swing the other leg over. So all the weight is on the side stand. Is this the right way? (There is no other way for me...) how does Clubby do it? (he's not a giant either).
I'm going to assume that I'll need to check the side stand more often and replace it at some point if necessary, right?
Thanks for your feedback
Matthias
You’re not the first to complain about it but I’m curious as to why you don’t just take an grinder and notch that area out next to the brake pedal?
Mine fixed itself in a crash
Did you and the rest of the hendersons see harry out there? Jokes of course, decent video!
Ah No.
i would love to see gregs luggage racks, where can i find them when they go into production (if they aren't already)
HI Norm, Contact rideadv.com.au and ask him
Norm we have them in stock, please email greg@rideadv.com.au
Many thanks for the informative video, Can you please tell me any advantage to go with rear racks/ no racks over soft luggage strapped close to the rear fairings?
easier
What a scream, they have borrowed the snorkel from the good old DR. I think it’s a pity that there is no Traction control. I love it on my excf500 and I imagine it would be even better on the 790
it's a 689cc bike! Independent reviewers are saying that the motor is so consistently tractable from 0-5,000 that it doesn't need traction control (a goal Yamaha no doubt pursued). Then from 5,000 to 10,500 rpm the brilliant motor changes character for higher speed sealed road adventures.
I love the style in white and red. Retro. Classic. Beautyful.
Is it possible to buy stickers in this style?
Greatings from Germany
Yours Tobias
Yes you can! they are a sticker kit in Ausralia
G'day Tobias: the red and white sticker kit on my 700 is from Australian brand SK Designs ... you can view their website www.skda.com.au and they have offices around the world. Quality is excellent and fit-up is pretty easy, as the design includes multiple smaller pieces rather than large slabs of graphic that need to stretch over long curved surfaces. Gently use a heat gun and you will get an excellent result.
Make your own bag rack and taller screen. Faaark be resourceful!
some people , quite reasonably, don't want it to look like they've just cobbled something together. Maybe especially when they have so many other things to go on with.
I think I need that bike
I don’t like scuffs and scratches, wondering how the tank bags avoid abrasion over the long term.
There's clear and then there's plain old gaffer tape. All works.
Great vids. Can you please post a link to where to source the quick release pins for the seat @ the 7 minute mark? Much appreciated.
Rally Raid Products UK
a sub 300 lbs WR400R/X with long maintenance interval please
very very good
Many many thanks
Awesome location on the edge of the river, where is this beautiful place?
Sydney, Australia in the heart of suburbia on the north side of the harbour. What you are looking at is the upper reaches of Sydney Harbour.
@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV Killarney Heights looking over at Castle Cove ?
I love that graphics kit where did that come from?
The white/red graphics kit on my Tenere 700 is by SK Designs, view their website www.skda.com.au -- they have branches around the world.
Wow seeing these graphics kits almost makes me want a T7 $180 seems ok really changes the look
Have the Sw-Motech Crashbars done their job good? They are fitted to the engine on the right side if I saw this correctly on the picture, not really sure if that will be so good after multiple falls...
I'm not sure, Clubby;s bike has been sold.
Before you do anything get rid of the front guard, it's too close to the wheel,if you get into heavy clay that guard will clog up with dirt and stop the front wheel from turning.
You can alter the height of the front guard a couple of centimetres. Yep I know what you mean, happened to me out west.
great vid once again! im looking to just upgrade springs but rally raid only sell rear springs, where did you find your front springs as rally raid just has a full cartridge swap.
cheers
Rally Raid provided me a firmer spring set, but I think they are changing strategy now.
While you’re talking about the panniers and rack on the left side the photographer doesn’t show them.
Open fire, whiskey and Mad TV. What else do you need?😘😜
Keys to a Tenere 700???
Any thoughts on fitting a high exhaust? Many people doing the conversion, because of the swing arm rub, that can happen with a pipe in the standard position.
None at present.
US viewer here, what company do you recommend for heavier rear springs? Im around 95 kilos
I don't have a company as such, particularly in the US. Just go to a good motorcycle suspension store I'm pretty sure there is not much in this.
On medium/heavy adventure bikes, lowring tire pressure for offroad are never recommended. It will risk damage of the wheels, suspention and chassis because of the weight of the bike. It is only recommended on dirt bikes and light Adventure bikes. Tenere 700 is a medium weight adventure bike, so no tire pressure lowering.
Sorry, I don't agree. When tyre pressures are low for a reason you should be riding slower and not return to normal speed until tyres are inflated. But sometimes it is essential to lower pressures.
Thanks for all the great info. One question. If you remove the rear rack for the GL panniers, do you have to worry about the muffler burning the GL bag?
Not sure didn't try it
@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV great videos, which rear rack are you using?
@@coloradotrekker2189 Clubby;s bike as the Rally Raid rack
I agree that all these things are necessary part of ADV riding these days, but I hesitate to think what weight category this brings the T7 into. 10kg less than a Tiger 900 RP?
I'm not that obsesses with a couple of kgs here and there. After all I'm current 10 kg over weight.
@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV hah. Touche.
