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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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. 😀

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.

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

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.

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

@@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).

I've always heard that new bikes (dirt bikes especially) don't come with enough grease in the joints and should be lubed to begin with.

Hello. I just picked up a used T7 and noticed a loud clunking felt in the foot pegs on hard hits. I saw this video and decided to grease the linkeage. After lifting the bike I found quite a bit of play in the top shock bushing. Have you had the same experience? I heard some clunking in your other T7 sound video.

Vaselin nippor är din bästa vän, fixar alltid det på hojjar och snöskoter boggies :) Drill and thread 3 maybe 4 holes, and install greaze zerks. I assume it's a needle bearing at the frame mount for the link aswell, that u didn't lube ?

Yep, there are two more places to grease if you want the full linkage greased. Frame and swing links.

Hi Robert, I am taking my t7 to the dealership for the 5k service on Thursdays, do you recommend me asking them to do this and paying for whatever the hourly cost is? I don't have garage tools and/or skills to do it myself so it would have to be yamaha, should I ask for this specific task? Is it worth the cost, maybe 50 o 60 euros? Half hour work if made by a professional? Your guess? (hey you're professional too!) should I? Thanks for the videos, greetings from Madrid.
@NomadSweden
@NomadSweden 4 жыл бұрын
Yes as soon as possible in my opinion. No idea of price. They may suggest more spots to grease since I don’t do the full swing arm. But check with them. €50-60 would be ok by me

@@NomadSweden did you look it up (I am not a flexx salesman lol) By the way, got the bike back from the dealer with the 5k service done, I asked for grease on the bolts and told them the issue, and that I will take the bolts off before end of warranty and demand a replacement, and they cleaned and greased em with no charge (that's what they told me there is a chance they did not!) though I think so as they reflected it on the work sheet. So...thanks a lot for such tip you save me a probable future issue. Cheers.
