of course they fixed it and send a replacement...no company wants to deal with someone dying from their product... Props to them for dealing with it so fast though. I saw it coming from when he first putted in, too many wholes and very thin material for such "abuse" riding. I hope the company invests a bit more in material simulations, and thats the reason Iam affraid buying after market parts (even levers).
Spray Rustoleum blue into the rattle can cap, use a Q tip to daub the blue paint over the bare metal, let it dry, then spray clear coat over the entire exposed part to even out the surface finish.
That's awesome how the company moved so quickly to resolve your issue and also replace anyone else that had that part. It speaks volumes about their quality customer service.
i seen the links to fail, the worst one i saw was on a fully custom air suspension hayabusa destroyed its entire tail section as the link fell apart when customer ran over a pothole. almost totaled the bike it took a lot of work with insurance to fix it and customer dropped a lot of money to rebuild his custom tail and suspension to get the bike up and running. props for the company to back their product to this level, that looks like a huge improvement.
I'm not sure what's so special about a MT-07 but you already have (I'm sure you know) one of the worlds best adventure bikes, sitting behind it. You just went a different route with it. Personally, I would've built another XR650R but that's just me. Regardless, it's a cool build and was entertaining to watch.
In our assembly plant we use that same plastic for a lot of different things because we can can slide thousands of parts across it and it doesnt really wear much.
Glad you got it all fixed mates it looks pretty awesome. I still highly recommend that you get a 19 inch front wheel, slightly narrower than your current wheel. I have a fat 17 rear and 19 front on my heavily modified Kawasaki D tracker 350 cc. I have also run the 17 in front and a 21in front. The 19 front is a game changer. It is amazing on the road with amazing handling and it is so much better than the 17 off road. I cannot recommend this combo; 17 rear and 19 front, it will transform your bike totally
I’m late to the party, but this series is awesome. I just acquired an XSR700 and I’m coming from an Africa Twin, I still wanna dirt sometimes. The fact that you’ve already figured out the hard part is perfect!!! Nice work!
To decrease the dry time of a K&N filter after cleaning, prop up a box fan with fan blowing up. Turn the fan on its lowest setting then place the filter on the fan. Usually will dry in 2 hours or so without damaging the filter.
hell... i'll be more than happy to be a product tester to find the weak points on products as well or show how well products actually work. Happy Anniversary Jake.
The way that company handled that, went back and helped customers that hadent had the issue yet. Thats a buisness thats in it to do it right, not just the money
Good on the company for making it right in such a comprehensive manner. Also props to you for giving them the opportunity to make it right. It would have been very easy to make an angry video immediately roasting them for trying to kill you or some such drama. Good work.
I have now watched all the episodes of the adventure MT-07 and a got to say that you have made a really good job! And such good companies that you have worked with! 🤩👌🏼 It’s been really interesting to follow this since I own a MT-07 myself but I’m not even near the same mechanic experience that you have so I will stick to my street bike and just do some mild adventuring😅 but will definitely try out a adventure bike in the future ☺️👍🏼 More MT-07 modifications on TH-cam! 😍🙏🏼
great build/trip series! and i was thinking the same thing about you not looking like you're having fun. that trail was no joke! i kept comparing it too you're old group rides where you're laughing and saying goofy things the whole time. it was cool seeing that jersey fireguy was wearing. that brought back a lot of memories. 👍🏻
There are things we do in life that are fun in the moment but we don’t recall them memories to often. Then there’s things we do that are hard we my say we’ll never do them again because of the difficulty of the task. But more often then not them are the funniest things we do and talk about
I'm not sure how to do the leg work on getting together an order, but I machine things like fork extensions regularly. So if these is interest in them and I could make a bunch of them at once, I could probably do it fairly reasonably.
This is the second aftermarket rear link I've seen break. I have no issue with stock heights at 5'9" so I wont be needing to change mine, ever. I'm aware that's anecdotal, but man that's scary.
I've seen very few vids. of SM's with off-highway tires going off-road. The 701 SM seems okay with Scorpion's at regular pressure on sand/gravel. First time I've seen 17" in mud.
On the rear end maybe add some riv nuts on the tube and have a little pedistool and have a piece of sheet metal that goes from the rear seat to the end bar that you strap your bags to so it doesnt wear threw?
Glad you are OK. Nothing against Extreme Creations, but as someone who designs stuff like that for a living I am curious if they even ran numbers on that, I don't think they understood the loads involved. A big reason they were so quick would be that is a HUGE liability.
Was surprised to see the 17" front rim as a 19" with a 100 width is easier off road. Not 700 but my DR650 street set is this and works well when taken where my knobby 21" should have been on.
Fantastic video. I love what you did with that bike. Extreme Creations should have run FEA on that part. They would have seen how weak it was before they shipped it.
As I’m watching your video I saw your center stand setting behind the bike and it struck me.. I think you should make your center stand quick attach/detach to the rear frame so then it can become a sissy bar, of sorts, to strap luggage/gear/spare tire to.
im watching this on my laptop and I have two huge really good speakers hooked up and the various sounds some of them are not too great to listen to grinders, the nails on glass sound it made went you slid that front axle back in sent chills up my spine lol, there's gotta be a way to level that out make that quieter those grinders are a horrible noise
Happy anniversary to you both :-) Your bike did so well, but that linkage was a bit scary, awesome that the company has sorted a redesign so fast though! :-)
I think the bike held up really well especially for all the crazy stuff you put it through. I'm looking forward to more adventure videos but would like to see a little more of the ride rather then just the highlights...maybe I should join you Patreon? Anyway, congrats on your anniversary!
Im looking forward to more adventures! If you havent already i recommend looking up the ADVRider website. The forums have thousands of ride reports for all over the U.S.A. and beyond. Definitely gave me a lot of inspiration when planning a trip.
Hey, I'm really impressed with your scissors color choice! Personally, I'll utilize red, blue or even purple; yeah, even purple 'cause two tone purple looks weird. LOL 😂🤣 I'm messing with you Jake, you use what you've got in hand as long as it get the job done!
congrats/happy anniversary , i hope you bought her smt , i mean for your sake 😆 btw could you tell us about the fuel range while offroading , i m really curious if the bike was burning quickly throught the fuel ? thank you 🤩

Ben Shaw at extreme creations is a wis and would go out of his way at his cost to sort any issues out,he’s the turbo king wen it comes to sports bikes and custom work on bikes hire in Aus
Not sure if this is the right video for this question, but when you were re-gearing the DRZ with the sprockets, you bumped the front up 1 tooth and dropped 8 or 10 teeth in the back? Did you overshoot there and contribute the to clutch frying event?

Respect to that company for handling that
He’s a good dude
That's good customer service!!
👍 big time
That company just earned my business, love to see responses like that
What a standup company! Makes me want to buy an FZ just so I can buy parts from them.
For real. Someone take notes
of course they fixed it and send a replacement...no company wants to deal with someone dying from their product...
Props to them for dealing with it so fast though. I saw it coming from when he first putted in, too many wholes and very thin material for such "abuse" riding.

@@darklegend4354 sometimes aftermarket can be better than oem. this is especially true for cheaper bikes.
GAHHHH damn it Yamaha... bring the T-700 to the US!!!!
I like the lack of dogs on the roads in this series.
Yes 👍
That was such a sad day :(
I think you need that TURBO KIT IMMEDIATELY! 😃
I reckon that too
Yes bolt shit on turbo kit series bring back crappie but brilliant funny intros Jake
I am Greek and i was amazed when i saw that DNA filter...i cant describe how proud i am..! thanks for supporting our country jake!
I run DNA filters on my tt600, hawk gt and gz250 here in the Netherlands:) Awesome filters and for a good price!
In the future rust oleum makes a clear spray paint, if you used that, it would block from rust and keep your original color everywhere else.
Spray Rustoleum blue into the rattle can cap, use a Q tip to daub the blue paint over the bare metal, let it dry, then spray clear coat over the entire exposed part to even out the surface finish.
Wow, that’s really stand up of extreme creations! Bravo!

We have a great starting point in Australia for this type of project the MT-07 Tracer
We never got the tracer 700 😕
@@TheGardenSnake It is a shame it really is a solid adventure / commuter bike

Personally, I would've built another XR650R but that's just me. Regardless, it's a cool build and was entertaining to watch.
probably hated it and wanted to try and get as much money back on it as possible via making a shit load of videos on it. MT07s are wack lool
Jake, Its time for another build series!
We need more stand up companies like Extreme Creations. Buying from them is how they survive and grow.
In our assembly plant we use that same plastic for a lot of different things because we can can slide thousands of parts across it and it doesnt really wear much.
Man it's so awesome to see you and Fireguy in a video again that's some throwback shit

Whoa I stopped watching for 1 1/2 years and this channel is so different this is crazy and amazing
Huge respect for that company love it
Really enjoyed this recap video and you showing how everything held up. Very cool to see all your hard work put to the test!
Many of us appreciate your willingness to share your experiences and knowledge! Can’t wait to be on your level.
Also, happy anniversary to you and your wife. 14 years is nothing to overlook.

Extreme creations has my 100% respect!
Very impressed. I didn’t think this was going to work out.
Kuddos to that company for going into overdrive to fix a problem with their part. Awesome company.
The way that company handled that, went back and helped customers that hadent had the issue yet.

I'd really like to see you make an adventure bike out of the Honda 650.
What he really should do is give it to yammie noob to ride 😂😂

This year was our 14th as well 🤙🏻
That's a great company right there when I get my mt-07 they got another customer!!!
i m gonna wait here till tomorrow
I'm not sure how to do the leg work on getting together an order, but I machine things like fork extensions regularly. So if these is interest in them and I could make a bunch of them at once, I could probably do it fairly reasonably.
Instead of painting it, put some raptor liner on the areas that can abs will be rubbed down to the metal. Raptor liner shouldn’t rub off like paint.
Happy Anniversary!!
I know your a talented rider but I was surprised on how hard you could push it and that it held up as well as it did.
The struggle is the fun! Or at least it is for me when I mountain biking.
Nice follow up!
Huge thanks to extreme creations for excellent ethics.

Honestly I think Yamaha should introduce bike like you've just put together! Love it!
Yee old harbor freight dead blow. I've used mine as a motorcycle tank lifter more times then I have hammered with it. Funny to see you do the same.
Tighten up to spec. My guess was it needs to be checked after installation and initial ride for torque. Your forks made me think of this 😉.
So excited for the next one. And happy anniversary!
On the rear end maybe add some riv nuts on the tube and have a little pedistool and have a piece of sheet metal that goes from the rear seat to the end bar that you strap your bags to so it doesnt wear threw?
That’s kinda what I’m gonna do
Quality customer service. Also happy belated anniversary.

Not 700 but my DR650 street set is this and works well when taken where my knobby 21" should have been on.
I’ll look into doing a 19 at some point
Why not just paint the sub frame with spray on bed liner to prevent rubbing?
Fantastic video. I love what you did with that bike.
Extreme Creations should have run FEA on that part. They would have seen how weak it was before they shipped it.
Looking forward to the next adventure.!
Extreme creations are the ogs in aus

Shout out to Extreme creations🔥🔥🔥
3:00 probably something to do with the sidewall rigidity and stresses on street vs off road tyres. just use a generous serving or bead glue
I’m gonna install 4 rim lockers 😂
oh man i can't wait until 6am i gotta sleep at some point.

Jake, You should come to Wailing Wayne Weekend next year in Sept. Awesome time, great people.

That would be a great starting point

And how far back did i comment about a 19" front wheel?(got one on my XSR700 flattracker).
Ok, was on the fence about getting an Extreme Creations link for my xsr700 scrambler build... that’s no longer the case 👍
what a great company.
My tent is set up.
the video hasn't started yet and there's 3 dislikes...?! what's wrong with ya'll?!
🤷♂️
It’s almost like an asmr video with a that oil refill haha
i live in australia, and it takes a month to get a package that my mum sent over from new zealand lol, yet you get something from australia and it takes a few days!! damn
Great vid Jake. Informative as always.
About the part that came from Australia, if you were in my country you'd be waiting a month to clear customs
Getting some tonight!!!
Awesome project.
Great videos, Jake! How do you know the forks are straight when you slide them through the clamps? Is it magic?
Shouldn't we add more material and make it stronger?
No it's just fine, no one will use this offroad and jump with it....
Jake enters the chat.
Props to extreme creations for handling the issue tho and sending all their customers a new and improved part
you might notice the pre filter over 1/2 throttle with bogging bikes not getting enough air if it doesnt happen well im wrong :P
I didn’t notice when I rode around after 🤷♂️
