Grease your suspension linkage! Tenere 700

[@skr2935]

Great video as alway, thanks! I just went and did mine, so here is a top tip for the lazy and the one with a center stand: 1) You can do this job with the wheel on, plenty of space, however, more space easier the job, so consider taking it of. I did mine with the wheel on. 2) If you have the center stand (at least the one from SW Motech), the stand will initially be in the way of the bolt closest to the engine. This is solved by taking out the other two bolts first. Then strap/lift the wheel/swingarms all the way up, as high as it goes with the wheel on. Then you can push the damper unit towards the rear and pivot the link out of the way of the centre stand. Or you can just take the damper unit off all together. A 15 min job with minimum hazzle.

[@NomadSweden]

Fantastic feedback. Thank you!

[@ParagliceCayenne]

15 minutes? it took me 2 hrs, smile. So obviously i need to practice a lot more. but u are right with the center stand from sw motech. thanks for the tip

[@goatman86]

Thanks for the tip. I'll be installing my center stand in a week or two so I will grease those joints beforehand to save me work later on. I wonder if it makes any difference with center stand from Yamaha.

[@jameshind6644]

I can confirm you can actually remove the shock without taking the wheel off. Just chock the swingarm so it doesn't drop when you remove the bolts,

I believe I would use marine wheelbearing grease that is used on boat trailers. It is waterproof and lubricates well.

[@ParagliceCayenne]

did mine today, 6000km on the clock, but it really had wear on it, i ws a good idea to do this. Thanks for informing us. and to the other happy T7 owner, just get down on it and do it, othewise it will cost some more money to replace parts

You are 100% right about how it's totally dry, except for the little bit of grease in the needle bearings. Pretty shocking and most owners would not even be aware of it Keep up the great work, love your channel and your videos! Skål! 🍻 🇸🇪 🇨🇦

[@ricfestarini4533]

Excellent demonstration of the components of the rear suspension. I was considering the T7 but felt it was a bit too tall. I see that they offer a "lowering kit". But was surprised to see that the kit is simply two linkage arms. You have clearly shown how the linkage arms work in the suspension and how easy it is to remove or change them. That provides me much more confidence that I can lower the bike and the return it to normal configuration with very little effort - so I should not be afraid to give it a try. Thanks!

[@NomadSweden]

Thanks! Glad I could help

[@rogerwilliams2902]

Good video !. Molybdenum based grease is much better in my opinion , lasts a lot longer.

[@NomadSweden]

Thanks for the tip

[@Super2flower]

Yes Moly grease like LM47 for high pressure applications like these and Litho grease like LM 50 for fast spinning bearings which wheel bearings is a good example of.

[@tubelesschannel]

Nice job, now I dont need to make that video ;-) Those is the most exposed bearings. There is one left towards the front I would like to lubricate as well. The nut is close to the catalyzer and then not easy to access with a standard torque wrench when reinstalling the nut. Will have to use an extension arm (and recalculate torque) or remove the exhaust. I hope to find out how that nut could be torqued. (60Nm) The swing arm pivot bolt is part of the maintenance and should be lubricated every 50.000 km according to the service manual.

[@NomadSweden]

Thanks Sven. I know you got all the details. And you can make the video your way. There is always need for a Sven version.

[@gordonblackley8863]

Ok, good, but you missed one of the bearings on the linkage, and the swing arm bearings themselves, all of which will be similarly devoid of grease.

[@patmansadventures.3312]

I need to go after those.Just been too lazy.

[@plastruk]

Greasing everything isn’t always necessary. If you have acetal bushings for instance the grease will trap dirt and accelerate damage and wear.

[@jcn711]

Thanks for this Video. I will do this tomorrow at my T7 after 3 years and 52K KM😬

[@TheKvk]

you can also just leave the rear wheel on. lift with the lift to the wheel just resting on the floor. then all the bolts are loose at the same time and the whole thing can be removed and lubricated. 🙂

[@NomadSweden]

Cool! Thanks for the tip

[@glasshopper2010]

Did mine earlier this evening. As Skr found the centre stand is in the way of the front link bolt (I have the Yamaha one). I didn;t get around it his way as I had a scissor lift handy. Another great video Mr Nomad!

[@NomadSweden]

Thanks! Good to know about the centre stand

[@ehrendieter]

This is a very useful tip, thank you. You're right, the maintenance booklet only says check. It says nothing about greasing. I have to check it out soon. Mine now has 12000 km on it.

[@ehrendieter]

Today I checked whether it looked the same. And what can I say, it looked the same. I did not ride in the snow or on salted roads. All I can say is lubricate, lubricate and lubricate. I think i have to check this on ervery tire change. So again, thank you.

[@Nerb1]

With those open needle bearings, I think I'll do mine after every long ride! Good vid.

[@NomadSweden]

Thanks! Yeah they are exposed indeed.

[@brianq103]

Based on what I'm seeing, maybe a good idea to pull the swingarm off and do the bearings on it too, while you have all that stuff off.

[@NomadSweden]

Yes that would be a good idea. I haven’t been that brave yet. Learning as I go.

[@RicardoBigotePinto]

Yes, and the third bolt and bearing on the linkage... It just gets dificult if the bolts stay there to much time.

[@Spike-rj6ye]

Oh nomad I forgot to ask! Have you seen the new swingarm protector piece for the tenere? I think t7rally just did an advert for it but it just sort of fits between the exhaust and the swingarm because people have been falling on the right side and the exhaust takes a chunk out of the swingarm itself! which is a little scary. I thought I might mention it. I'm definitely getting a tenere this year and i was just thinking about changing the linkage to maybe the slightly longer one because I have a 29~30inch inseam so I'm a little short for the bike haha! So this video is perfect for me, you're basically doing everything I plan on doing so any maintenance you do on this is such a big help and I can't thank you enough.

[@NomadSweden]

Thanks! The protector is a good idea if you want to keep the exhaust the way it is. I plan to mount a high exhaust later on.

[@tirolfoffroad1304]

Hello, there's the same job to do for the crf 300 L and Rally.

[@razorcain74]

You should of removed grease from the threads and faces when you retightened! It is dangerous practice what you did. The grease on the threads and face reduces the friction coefficient. So this means when you tighten the nut with the torque wrench you are getting more bolt stretch than required for the same torque reading. This can overstress the bolt leading to premature failure of the connection.

[@NomadSweden]

Thanks for the tip! Will do this soon again and will make it better 👍🏻

Thnx, I'll defenitely grease them next time I have to do some maintanance. Dont you need to grease the linking bolt in the frame where the trianglulare peace pivvots in the frame? If you know what I mean, you didi2 out of 3 bolts/bearings on it. Thnx for your reply.

[@NomadSweden]

Hi! Yes you should grease that one too. It's just a bit more complicated to get it off.

[@zdenekvalenta8439]

My old Tenere '84 has greasing valves on linkage. This is example where factory should not save their costs :-( . I was thinking about it, would not be dificult to drill holes into bolts, when I checked it on my new Tenere. Hope some aftermarket tunining will be soon available :-)

[@NomadSweden]

Yes they built to last in the old days

[@henrikforsberg683]

The upside of having to take the linkage apart every now and then is that you will notice if you’ve gotten moisture in the so its starting to rust, and you can inspect the shaft seals as well. The problem with grease nipples between two bearings is that the grease only go out the easiest way, so when you press the grease in between the bearings it will most likely just go through one of the bearings and the come out on that side of the linkage. “The path of least resistance”, But a little grease is better than no grease at all. 😀

[@jeffloucks2120]

@@henrikforsberg683 I trust pulling it apart and thoroughly going through it. Don't let them get to the point of failing and this isn't a big deal. Once you have to swap out all the bearings and seals you realize what a waste of extra time and money it is not to service these on a schedule.

[@bcinspectorman]

Wouldn't a waterproof grease be better than the lithium grease especially for linkages?

[@NomadSweden]

No idea. 😊 i use this grease all over

[@lefterisbampaidis5446]

I wonder why Yamaha or any other manufacturer doesn't grease whatever needs to be greased from the factory. I'm almost certain no difference is noticed while riding but maybe less wear on the parts greased over time?

[@hovishill2779]

P.S. dont forget to do the top shock mount bearing/bush.

[@NomadSweden]

yep, it's done earlier and mentioned in the video

[@LookattheBiggerPic]

I wonder if Moly Grease might not be better in the long term? Just a thought... much thanks for all you do!

[@NomadSweden]

Thanks. Im sure there are better grease for this purpose.

[@LongPondNH]

OK, I'll be "that guy": The Yamaha T7 service manual does not call for greasing the linkage bolts and sleeves. Only the oil seals outside of the bearings are shown to require lithium soap-based grease. Grease elsewhere is likely useful to prevent corrosion but Yamaha doesn't seem to think it's needed for lubrication.

[@NomadSweden]

You're correct :)

[@stepheneldridge6998]

[@ChrisAkAxTr3Me]

Thank you for the video! I am not sure if it is a problem lifting the T7 with a lift like you got it, what should be damaged? Plus I also dont know a different way to do this work than maybe lifting it with a hoist, e.g. on the pillion footrests. Removing the skidplate and lifting the T7 on the oil sump wont work because it is not located in the center and has a rather small surface, which may lead to dropping the T7 in your garage.. :D

[@NomadSweden]

Thanks! Well, I don't think things will break, but the manual says not to lift under the skid plate. I take my chances :)

[@bjrnbirkeland5893]

I would have cleaned that area with diesel or kerosene and a brush and air gun. Then rinsed with water and dried with air gun. Just to have that area complete clean before dismounting and exposing the needle bearings. Without cleaning, there is a risk dirt would already enter the bearing when you pull out the bolt-bushing. Cleaning also ensure nothing dirt enters the bearings when new grease is applied. Even though you used that rag before, but using the rag when bearing already is exposed is a bad idea, chances are too big, some dirt enters the bearing. Other wise a good and interesting video. I like your channel and informative videos.

Thanks. Sounds like a good idea. I learn as I go

Hi! Just started this job this evening. Did not finish it, as I am doing in parallell with brake service and some deep cleaning. I have not decided if I am going to take the rear suspension completely off in order to do the job 100%. One question that is kind of relating to that: even closer to the engine there is another bolt/nut that I think can be removed - should it?

[@NomadSweden]

Do you mesn the bold that attaches the link to the swingarm? I did not do that one because I didn’t dare loosening the whole swing arm but I am sure it has the same problem. I am also a beginner at this so I will try this one soon

[@dagloe]

@@NomadSweden Thanks for the answer! Yes I believe we are talking about the same. It is the bolt that connects what my manual calls the "Relay arm" to a protrusion of the frame I believe? I used your video when doing the job (thanks!), so I was a bit hesitant if there was any specific reason you did not also disassemble and grease up this final bolt. I'll give it a shot. Edit: I was a bit quick to answer. I don't think the bolt I am referring to attaches to the swing arm. I think it is the one bolt that connects the Relay arm (the triangle) to the frame (or at least something that is not moving relative to the frame) - the other two bolts connecting to the suspension and to the swing arm via the "Connecting arms" (again what my manual calls it).
