Google for camel adv they have some simple parts for it

@urmailingalen For initial bite, you're looking for brake pads and steel brake lines. Different brake compounds (sintered, semi-metallic, etc) will feel different, steel lines will give a harsher/direct feel through the lever. That said, if the bike is new, wait for the pads to wear in a bit and try bleeding the brakes first, just in case

@@markymark2967 ok ty. The bikes only got 2700 miles on it. But I do want to upgrade to steel lines soon.

I too moved from a DR650 and replaced it with the T7. Never been happier.

@@robertparker8863 Do you find the weight of the T7 manageable off road? Sometimes I had too pull out the DR650 from a ditch or some swamp and it seems it wouldn't be possible with anything heavier.

@@syringavulgaris3258 Can't speak for Robert but I have a '23 T7. I do tend to avoid the swamps and the distinguishable deep mud. When it gets stuck it will remind you of how heavy it is. More than once I've had to get deep and dirty, use my shin as a lever, and throw mud onto myself and all the bushes nearby because nobody is coming to help. In those moments it is too heavy, no doubt. It is a terrible bike to learn how to ride offroad on. When it's moving the weight nearly vanishes. It's uncanny... as long as you have momentum it's just a big dirt bike. All the controls are where they should be, standing is natural, balance is literally perfect. It inspires confidence if you have any enduro background. With the correct skills it will take you places nobody goes except on foot. It is a two-faced machine offroad... a high barrier to entry but a very high ceiling. Extremely punishing of mistakes, heavy to pick up, will break your leg in a fall. But in the right hands entirely capable of what you could do back on your old '98 KTM 250 EXC. I love it. I take it to work down many miles of highway every nice day but also take it on enduro trails I grew up riding on, and I'll strap a bunch of camping gear on for a fun weekend. To answer your question, the weight IS an issue. It is with every ADV. Avoid rock gardens and diarrhea mud, and the experienced rider will cruise on through no problem at all.

@@syringavulgaris3258 Yes, I think it's manageable but, (knock on wood) I've never dropped it.

Tell me you ride a KTM without telling me you ride a KTM...🤔

@@MrRodwatson I was being silly, I am actually friends with Mark and you can see a T7 on my thumbnail . And yea I also ride a KTM 300 as a woods bike.

Have a 21 as well. Almost 7k on it and just love it because I can do anything I want on it. Still has stock suspension and it suits me fine. Tires make a big difference. My T7 loves what CO has to offer. Other bikes will always intrigue me, but for a Swiss Army knife of a bike my T7 fits the bill. Great review. I’ll try to catch up to your mileage 👍

@@enrique60033 Come on man…I aint a detective🤔😉, you gotta understand…KTM jokes are beginning to run their course, I've got to get them in before KTM decides to fix the issue or they disappear as a company😊

But what was the ground clearance in 2021🤔

@@MrRodwatson Dunno, I have the 800DE with around 8.7 inches

For the kind of riding Mark does the Vstrom is not an option.

Just about 6' flat

Hey there, I end up in Mexico a decent bit, probably made six trips by now. I came with the usual crowd that mostly lives in Austin and Houston, but we have plenty of local friends too. Ask the organizer of the NL Adv rallies and you can find more info on the mextrek group 😀 Good tip on Cuatrocienegas, I'll check it out!

@@markymark2967 The organizer of ADV NL Rallies is Joaquin Lam, good friend of mine ..... I have shared "The Finder" with a few friends they all conclude is Awesome. Take care ..... I am planing a ride to Marfa, and west TX by the end of october.
