I own a 2023 Super Adventure S and BTW, also owned a 2016 Super Duke R. Nice choices. My Pros/Cons are similar but simplified. Pros are same as you but the only two cons I have are Chain vs Shaft... I dislike maintaining the chain and would rather have a shaft drive. The only other con is the heat that rolls off the radiator/engine and onto my knee. It's bad and needs a solution. However, in winter this con becomes a pro HA! So go figure.

@LifeWellRidden no just install the banjo to the master cylinder and the stock brake line after. The 90-degree banjo is what corrects the oem line angle. Otherwise, without it, the only other way is creating a new line from scratch.

Interesting, I installed the Outback Motortek and could not notice the weight difference. Thought I would since I did the skid plate as well and it's not "light" persay. But could not feel the difference when commuting or on the trails. I am going to assume and say that the performance of the stock STR's may be hindering you more than the added weight out in the technical stuff. Honestly, it comes down to preference at the end of the day. Glad you are enjoying the T7, thing's a beast!!

@compsciyan actually the STR was fine. Maybe the HEED crash bars are mounted higher than the outback motortek so it may be the difference.

I went on my first BIG ride yesterday, 6 hours... and I was surprised how good the factory suspension on my V-Strom felt... the tyres, well... I guess they are designed to give plenty of grip when there is little of it, and some grip when there is plenty of it... you know what I mean! I always thought I was going to have to change things, I thought the back was too hard, but on the open road and twisties I was proved wrong, I also thought the front was too soft, but it's actually really balanced in those conditions. If I do anything, it may just be slightly thicker oil in the front forks and that's it, (other than Sports touring tyres If I decide I never want to take it on the Gravel roads, but at this stage I'm not going to rule that out until I've tried it)

my bike has a 85nm spring in the back and i have 6.9 nm in the front i am 14 stone. i have the front and back revalved . i am suspost to have 6.6 springs for my weight. i have been testing T7 set ups for my suspension pro. i prefure 6.9 as the T7 is a big bike and it takes the big hits. i also run a 65mm air gap in the front forks that helps with bottoming out. i can tell you this 75nm on the rear for your weight is so wrong. remeber your spring will bed in when you ride off road and you will have a bit more sag. i would be putting a 90nm on the rear if i was setting your bike up. i have a twin stack of valves in my forks and they work as good as any high end stuff, as i have rode a lot of bikes with so called better suspension and my set up is as good as theres . for the exstra cost i would put k tech in thats there valving not dear just as cheap as a revalve. check my channel out you can see for your self. revalving is worth doing .

I don't know what the options are yet for the tenere 700 but if springs and rebuilding the internal cartridges are both options that would definitely be my suggestion and the way i will be going on mine (once i actually buy it haha ... soon). I did the full top of the line touratech package on one of my f800 gs bmw's (several thousands of dollars invested) back in the day and although the suspension was an amazing improvement over stock (we used to ride our adv bikes like straight up dual sport trail goats at lightspeed) it didn't give me the same life altering performance difference i was used to on my dirt bikes back in the motocross racing days et I think a lot of that had to do with the bmw's overall limitations due to the bike design and weight etc. If you are just riding basic fire roads and some two track style trail and commuting i cant imagine the need for the high-end replacement suspension, and definitely some riders out there are always gonna keep buying the bling to keep up with the joneses ....

@Adv_Ready_Moto you can go full on cartridge kit and new shock for the T7. Lots of brand offerings. You can also do spring upgrades and fine-tune the damping by way of valves on the forks, etc...it can be an incremental upgrade or a huge one. Depending on the person.

@@motoken yeah basically the tenere seems like the bike I was spending thousands of extra dollars trying to turn my f800gs into prior to its existence, I had a blast on the bmw platform but definitely prefer more adjustability and better off-road performance characteristics of what the tenere seems to be putting out. I will most likely do the springs and cartridges my buddy is a damn suspension wizard owner operator at Max Trends suspension up in Washington, I will have him get me dialed.

Well, I’ve tried to go your way one time, I’d removed the crash bars from the bike after 2 years riding with it and bought some after market side fairings just in case I lay down the bike, first ride without the crash bars and boom first crash on the trail (I guess murphy’s law is true 😂) but besides that, the problem of removing the crash bars if you lay down the bike is that this bike is top heavy, most likely you will bent the bars, twist the forks suspensions or bent the clamps, Barkbusters will only protect your bike controls and that’s it, if I hadn’t removed the crash bars, the crash bars had l absorbed most of the impact without damaging those parts of the steering and I could continue my ride without any further problems. Don’t saying that it will happen to you but, just keep it in mind, is not easy to return to home with the bars twisted. Now, this problem is easy to fix once you’re at home.

This video came right on time as I was considering new springs. But since i’m 175lbs im guessing im fine with the stock springs. I got top case and 12lbs crashguards thats it. Thanks for the information👏. Btw, how’s the skidplate? I know its a tough kind of plastic but do you think it will hold up mild hits? I never bottom out, im more worried about trying to go up a curb thats too high.
@motokenАй бұрын
I think it can take a hit. how hard..I cannot say yet. I went through deep ruts and rocks and did not even touch my stock skid plate. I think there are too many variables such as riding style or how fast you go through rough terrain that dictate how hard (if at all) you hit the belly pan. For my pace and type of riding, the hard plastic skid plate is good enough.
