Great video, thanks for sharing! So cool to see a 'normal' (although most probably much better than me) rider taking the T7 in the rough stuff. I can so see myself falling each time as well. Enjoy!!
Thanks for making this video. I felt sad the first time I dropped my shiny new DR650 and broke the clutch lever (That was a fun ride home! I used a branch as a fulcrum and a hair elastic to keep it together!). Drops happen. Parts can be replaced. It's a dual-sport, it would look weird if it wasn't dirty and scratched up. When you damage your bike, only then is it truly yours. :)
Awesome vid. I get slightly sick of videos of pro riders carving it up, whilst I sit here and think "...I could do that..." Truth is, I could do what you are doing... if I had the balls. Good on ya :)
Thanks mate! The "I could to that" thought has crossed my mind numerous times as well, but hey we don't have to compare ourselves to them. It's not a fair match😉
Thanks! Really appreciate that👍 Well it did harm te bike. Broke the headlight and front fender. I will take te winter to repair it and upgrade the bike a bit more. Thanks for subscribing too!
One of the few who aren’t ashamed to post the not so good stuff. Thanks for sharing. It not a question of if you are going to fall, it’s a question of when. I was in a 4 stroke forum years ago and my handle was “Crash Gordon” If I’m not crashing, I am flashing! 😀. Get that girl fixed and ready to go.
Thanks! It might indeed look like I don't crash too often from the other videos. But the reality is, that I do. It's starting to happen less often though which I think is a good sign😁 Building my bike up as we speak. Will share a video of the before and after and the mods I did when it's ready. So if you happen to be interested, subscribe😉
@@Gwiedert Just subscribed! I noticed later in your video you had added some grab bars in the back. I think they would be very useful for picking up the bike. What brand are they please? looking for minimalist for now, plan to add pannier racks which will work as well.
@@davehartsock9106 They are indeed! Exactly the reason I bought them. I am usually not into the chinese stuff but these are from ali express and they work great👍 And thanks for subscribing😇
Great video! I’m looking to buy a T7 Extreme in the near future and wanted to see how it falls because i’m not a motocross pro (haven’t ever ridden one) but did start on bigger adventure bikes and learned quite a lot of offroading! One question i do have. How is the exhaust hanger after so many falls? how many times did it bend and had to bend it back? What is your experience with it? I see you have the stock fat muffler? Did you find any solution to this issue? It’s the only thing that makes me afraid to fall on the right side!
As you can tell, this is a video from 2 years ago. A lot has changed since then. Yes the exhaust hanger bents, and you can only bend it back a certain amount of times till it breakes. I made my own exhaust hanger a while ago which is flexible. I rode with the stock hanger for 2 years without major issues, so I wouldn't bother changing it right after getting the bike.
Bedankt voor deze video! Gek genoeg erg inspirerend voor iemand die overweegt een T7 te kopen en er off road mee te gaan rijden. Waar zijn die banen waar je op hebt gereden? Ik denk delen van de TET NL te herkennen, maar zie ook wat mooie banen en ik ben daar nog naar op zoek. Ben ook benieuwd hoeveel ervaring jij had op deze video. Fijne feestdagen!
Nice, bro. I avoid the ruts as much as possible since you can't balance the bike if you can't turn the wheel. I loved the tree crunch as Ive been there but I was airborne. You lose your beak? I just cracked mine. I have Shoe Goo holding my bike together. Nice work!
You can balance the bike without turning the wheel, but it takes skill. Which beak are you reffering to? My bike is currently held together by zipties🤣
How is your swingarm doing after all that off-road riding? Have your muffler started to scrape it yet? I just got a new exhaust kit because my muffler started scraping. Anyway, happy riding man!
Hola Guido. Que buen video. Mucho que analizar ver y aprender del video. Linda moto. Felicitaciones. Gracias por compartir estos momentos que los demás ocultan como si su conducción fuera perfecta. El control de tracción es necesario? Aprender a regular el gas y una buena llanta es definitivo. Que tanto resiste las caídas la T7?.se desajusta mucho?
Hi Fabio, I don't speak your language, but if I understood it correctly. It does take the beating quite well, had to replace my handlebar, headlight, front fender, brakelever, and snapped a few mounting tabs from some covers. Other than that she is just fine. Traction control is unnecesary on an adv bike if you ask me. Hope to have answered your questions. Cheers!
It bents/turns, and damages the swingarm. But as long as you keep bending it back, it's not too bad. I actually put a couple of heavy duty tiraps around the swingarm where the exhaust touches. Prevents a bit of damage.
Love this:) so much haters, probably jealous of the bike or the fun you’re having;) my brother loves this stuff too, for me it’s a little too much picking up bikes all day but that’s personal preference 😛 keep having fun and disregard the jelly’s 👊🏻
Good work, if you don't push your comfort zone you won't learn fast enough. Often you get pissed off and try again with more throttle, clutch work, attack and the result ends up better.
@@Gwiedert That's really good to know. I hope my Tenere will survive me then. lol One question though, what kind of hand guards can you recommend through all of your falls?
@@2lbsTrigrPull I am sure it will, but be prepared to the replace a part here and there once in a while. I used barkbusters, they have done their job really wel. Although I have had to bend them back in shape 2 times. But I reckon I have dropped it at least a 1000 times.
Goddamn Mud! :)) Yesterday I tried to hit the gravel with the Scorpion Rally STR and I found myself in sh1tty situation like that... I'm going to replace the tires with Mitas Rally then I will retry. With Scorpion Rally STR no fuck1ng way!! Forget the gravel in Belgium.
I wonder how Super Tenere 1200 would do in the same conditions 🙂 Depends on the rider, I guess. Of course, it's heavier and it would work worse for you.
While i get the Pushing your limits or whatever, it is generally a safe practice to slow down on bad roads . No matter your skill levels, you are going down on that kind of surface at that speed.
Thanks! It bent at one of the drops. I have a stronger fatbar mounted now, which is stiffer also👌 The crashbars I bent too, but that was mainly caused by the bending of the crossbar that connects the left and the right part. I changed the crossbar for a stronger one that I made myself. It can really take a beating now.
I agree ! I have a T7 and love it, but would i throw it around a muddy track, nope I would get a 250 to do that, would I ride to a different continent on road and smooth tracks, absolutely - it was design ed for this !
Buen video, así hay que disfrutar las motos, pero el día que la quieras vender vas a tener que pagar tú dinero para que se la queden, je, je, je. Saludos.
I don't think of selling it. Have customized it during the winter to my own taste. If you happen to be interested, I will soon post a video of the final result.
You are showing the biggest weakness of both the bike and the rider. The T7 is not a great slow riding enduro bike unless you know how to do it with this bike. You have to learn. All your stunts are due to loss of control of the front wheel at slow speeds due to the terrain you chose to ride in and the top heavy quality takes you down because of it. Learn to ride it or just keep making these types of videos for fun.
I am learning. And what you fail to see, is that these "crashes" are usually after several succesful attempts. They are mainly caused by fatigue, plus the top heaviness of the bike for sure. But like I said, learning comes with falling, no way around it. Have you watched any of my other videos too?
@@Gwiedert Understood, but the visuals are implying something you shouldn't be implying to someone who is glossing over this model of bike. It would be nice if you added a disclaimer. Understanding context is important. Happy Riding.
Mate, thank you for helping me understand I'm not the only one putting my T7 down for a nap.
Great to see someone enjoying their toys
Great video, thanks for sharing! So cool to see a 'normal' (although most probably much better than me) rider taking the T7 in the rough stuff. I can so see myself falling each time as well. Enjoy!!
Thanks! Appreciate it👍 Most of my drops where due too fatigue, and lack of attention. Some were just plain stupid, but hey, it happens to everyone😉
@@Gwiedert I can totally relate. As soos as I get tired, I start dropping the bike

Stock suspension? Im finding it very soft, new springs needed i think for me anyway.
Nope, stiffer springs. But I am upgrading to rally raid cartridges.

Scratched up. I have replaced the exhaust for something different now.

It is indeed!😇
Good work, if you don't push your comfort zone you won't learn fast enough. Often you get pissed off and try again with more throttle, clutch work, attack and the result ends up better.
That's exactly how it is👍

Never welded them😅
@@Gwiedert haha noice. Mine looks like humpty Dumpty these days
I can imagen😁 I replaced the fairings with a set from Rtech, makes a big difference.
Quick question what tyres did u use
Metzeler MC360, Mitas e10 and Mitas e12.
Vallen en opstaan he,worden we groot van , zeggen ze haha👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Respect!
Thanks!
good video
I’m giving a subscribe for showing all the screw ups that most people edit out lol.
nice and clear
Tough stuff, work on counter weight when cornering and on slow speed balance to improve your riding
I have been doing that, I hope you noticed from my more recent video's😉
Goddamn Mud! :)) Yesterday I tried to hit the gravel with the Scorpion Rally STR and I found myself in sh1tty situation like that...
I'm going to replace the tires with Mitas Rally then I will retry.
With Scorpion Rally STR no fuck1ng way!! Forget the gravel in Belgium.
Rally STR's aren't very usefull on anything wet indeed😉 Those Mitas tyres will certainly do a better job👍
Have you ever brake anythink from the bike?I am waiting the season 2023.....
Yes sir, I have. Headlight, front fender, handlebar, brakelever, mirrors. Fortunately, material is replaceable😉
Yep, did that a couple of times on the weekend.😂
Hahaha... kudos for going thru that shit with a T7!!!
May be time for better tires 👍
Keep on trying! Your getting there 👍
I am running full knobbies. Dropping my bike did not have much to do with tyres in all these cases. Have you watched my other videos too?
The two wheeler machine is capable with only the incredible Paul Tarre. No doubt nothing happened to the amazing bike despite repeated crashes.
Lekker hoor!
Awesome! Tyres look rubbish. Rider looks.like a legend!
I'm running MC360 now. Great tyre👌
I wonder how Super Tenere 1200 would do in the same conditions 🙂
Depends on the rider, I guess. Of course, it's heavier and it would work worse for you.
The heavier it gets, the harder it is to handle😉
Simply the roads what you chose not match to your skills, but this is the only way to improve!
While i get the Pushing your limits or whatever, it is generally a safe practice to slow down on bad roads . No matter your skill levels, you are going down on that kind of surface at that speed.
Don't agree. None of these were caused by high speeds on bad roads.
But but but, but yamaha made those videos of the professional trials and enduro riders showing us what the t7 is capable of?
Great movie 👍🫣 Does the handlebar take all the beating, or do the crash bar help at all ?
Thanks! It bent at one of the drops. I have a stronger fatbar mounted now, which is stiffer also👌
The crashbars I bent too, but that was mainly caused by the bending of the crossbar that connects the left and the right part. I changed the crossbar for a stronger one that I made myself. It can really take a beating now.
@@Gwiedert Is it the sw-motec crash bar? And do you recomend it. ? Im getting my T 700 in februar 👍
@@robertsvulpes This one is from Puig, and yes I do recommend it. Took quite some drops and heavy beating before I bent it.
@@Gwiedert thx for fast anserwers ⭐⭐⭐
Do you like to fall? 😅
No but I have to😁
when they go very hard to not crash, have fun.
Not sure what you mean, but thanks😉
Remind me not to buy your T7 when you sell it used haha
I can assure you that it's looked after better, than most T7's.
you fall you learn
That's right!😉
on the bright side you fall really well.
Haven't hurt myself yet, so I guess😁
this video should be in the advertisement of the t7
It looks like a lot of the falls are due to a lack of throttle
Yes, and mainly because of fatigue.
Dropped mine on concrete within half hour of buying it, you have to really try to see the damage it caused, the concrete is fucked tho
Second to last one was a doozy
i havent fell once with my tenere in over 7 months , i might be doing something wrong.
Yeah not pushing hard enough😉
@@Gwiedert depends on the day, but you're definitly pushing it harder than me haha! Nice
Yall must if possible square up the back tire to the log. Drive forward after lifting front wheel 75 percent above. Be safe
Progress must be hard and painfully
Pain not so much, but it certainly takes some effort😉
I have africa twin 1100 l. all the time when I going agresve ride take it off Main ABS fuse
Keep rise yours skills
Bike to be sold, almost new, always in garage, no off road. :D :D :D
You wouldn't notice if you see the current state of the bike😉
Still better than me 🤷♂️
as a dirt rider i dont understand why street riders and new riders think its a good idea to learn how to ride dirt on 450lb machines
Why not? It's great fun.
I agree ! I have a T7 and love it, but would i throw it around a muddy track, nope I would get a 250 to do that, would I ride to a different continent on road and smooth tracks, absolutely - it was design ed for this !
