Tenere 700 - 15.000 km review

[@josepg.2479]

One of the few honest review of this bike, no enduro, no highway speed test, simply the way almost of us will do this machine

[@comfortablyunknown700]

Wow! It has already been 10 months. I am still waiting for my US model. Picked up a few tips from you on this one. Thank you. I always enjoy.

[@allenhuling598]

This bike is a huge upgrade from my old DR 350, so with only a 140 miles on the clock it still feels pretty awesome in stock form! That said, hand guards, a stiffer spring, a tail tidy, and a taller wind screen will be some of my first priorities. Love the linear torque of this engine, and the gear spacing is perfect for me! Very helpful that you have shared your insights so far, Robert, thank you!

[@roberthicks686]

Cheers Robert. Also a huge thanks for introducing me to Jon Henrik Fjallgren. That's some fantastic music.

[@RidetheBean]

Some good tips there! Good idea to keep the tube and tire iron tucked away like that! We’re gonna steal that idea 😉 We’ve now had ours for 5000 km and have a lot of the same thoughts.

[@Vollhirni]

Very thankful for finding your channel. I come from an Enduro and MX Background, also did quite some street riding and racing. But I was never really interested in Adventure Bikes, too heavy for offroad and/or too weak for the road, so I thought. Now, after 35 years of riding, I ordered, unseen, unridden, a Tenere. Mainly because of Adam Riemans Channel. But the content just gets broader at such a high level of Quality, I am so glad I chose a bike that seems to be exactly what I think is the best compromise on all terrains, making possible almost everything I would like to do with a bike, other than hardcore Enduro single trailing and high speed crazyness on public roads. Since I am not really keen to do either anymore anyways, I won't miss that. So, with your help, and that of Adam and possibly some others I maystill need to find, I can easily upgrade my bike and my gear with really helpful tips, brilliantly moderated, never boring, top notch video editing. Thank you from Germany. Will start looking for Handguards now, great relief for me, not to have to out on the heavy crashbars. I am also a no crashbar guy...Cheers, Jens

Great and honest review, Robert. Your ideas how and where to store some tools and spares are great and I'll copy it. I just ordered my T7 Rally Edition and will pick it up from the dealer after my summer adventure. First modifications are hand guards and rear spring. Mitas E-07 will be fitted by the dealer.

I have really enjoyed you vids. You have an easy manner about your presentation (thanks for doing them in english👍) and it makes it very pleasant to watch. Also, I was very impressed with your riding position when you were talking about how the rear rack supports your legs (minutes 9-10)....I have taken a few adventure bike riding classes and your vertical shin, bent waist and wide elbows are exactly what they’ve been teaching. Keep up the excellent work!

Thank you! The right posture is also important when you consider handlebar risers. Some people stand straight up and can't reach the handle bars, and mount risers. It depends if you want to ride a bit more active I guess. Cheers!

Noticed the same thing was happening while you demonstrated the action of the rear rack serving as stegz pegz.

Great review. You came right out and told us why it is the unicorn for how you ride.

Yamahas are definitely boring and not the most sexy IMO, but they are the most reliable motorcycle manufacturer in the world (Although pretty sure Honda and Suzuki are basically within 1% as far as failure rate). So if I was going for an ADV I think I'd choose reliability over looks. I definitely don't want to be broken down on the side of the road. So I guess a Ducati Multistrada won't be in my future hahahah. I'm also questioning the need for 1200cc as well.

7:24 i can imagine, stiffer rear and stock front. diving boat. I'm looking for the max allowed weight off the bike, i haven't found that yet.

[@tHaH4x0r]

2:10 As a tip for repairing plastic parts on bikes. These plastic parts are usually made of ABS, so you can use specific solvents to chemically weld the pieces back together. In particular, I use MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone) for doing this, and it works wonders. If you do it properly, you cannot even see that there's been a crack at all, and the weld is as strong as the plastic was before. Additionally, you can dissolve (ideally black) lego into some MEK to make an ABS 'slurry'. This slurry can be used to reinforce parts that you want, and when its dried out it is as strong as the plastic. Often I use normal thin MEK for fixing a tear, and add some slurry on the backside to make it stronger than it has been before. Btw I specifically mention lego above, because they are known to be pure ABS. You can dissolve any ABS in MEK to make that slurry (for example, if you have some left over fairing parts those work as well). The more pure the ABS, the better it works (so avoid colored plastics).

[@NomadSweden]

Great tips 👍🏻

[@ericsweetadventure]

Skateboard wheel could be added to that lower rack bolt to act as a step peg. Remove the bearings, add washers and longer spec bolt. Great review.

I really enjoy your videos! You are basically one of the reasons that made me look to the tenere! I have a question about the long term reliability. I see in different groups about rusting problems on the spokes, under the tank and in different other places. I am curious, because I intend to ride it off road and maybe in wet environments, have you also experienced something like that? Thanks a loooot in advance! Please continue what you do, such an inspiration!

[@endurotruckererniedesjardins]

To make your own steg pegs , I've seen guys use a really small skateboard wheel, cut one a band saw, make the cut on the other side of the wheel bearing flange between the two bearings. Use a washer in place of the bearing.

@@NomadSweden thanks ! waiting for more T7 videos to come :)

[@azlong4596]

I noticed what could be a issue when you were standing and leaning back against the rack, your boot moved the kick stand down. I thought you might want to look into a kick stand bypass so when you lean back and the kick stand goes down it doesn't shut the motor off.

[@NomadSweden]

I see what you mean. It actually moves the side stand just by standing on the ball of your foot and flexing down. Even before resting on the rack. But very interesting. I wonder if i stand the same way when riding.

[@justadam1917]

Will comment at the front mudguard mine also has broken no fall just a rock lifted by the front wheel plastic is very brittle but at the price point I love my Yamaha 700. I am sure Yamaha will pick up these few small points over the next few models but the concept of the motorcycle is fabulous

[@justadam1917]

Use a bolt 19 mil 2 nuts locked on to fit the front wheel much cheaper then a special tool

[@yusufcgursoy]

Thank you, it’s very useful

[@ExpeditionaryRanger]

A very useful video thank-you. Well done on being very practical. The tool storage is smart and leaves me asking, “why didn’t I think of that?!”. Can a pillion still sit comfortably with that rack on?

[@Palcious]

Jeez, I have been set on the 790 non R for months now since my dealer retails that one at the exact same price as the T7. I testrode the Katie and really loved everything about it. I really don't like the idea of abandoning the Quicksiifter, Cruise Control, 20 extra HP and everything the KTM has but The T7 gets so much praise while all I hear about the 790 is "oil leaks" here and "fogged up dash" there...

[@NomadSweden]

Two quite different bikes. You need to ride them both and decide. Yama is simple and very smooth. The ktm is a rage machine. But you cant really use 20hp more off road. And the computer is there to tame it. But you must compare them. Perhaps the Katie is for you.

[@jdubflylo]

As one who cut my teeth in dirt bikes, I like the tenere's simplicity. I dont feel bad about riding her hard with it worry about electronic malfunction or engine failure. It's simple and comfortable in knowing its built to last. It's not as performance driven as KTM... but I can live with in as it still performs great although I do like the slightly lower feeling of the 790 when going slow.

Hello Robert. I discovered your channel about two weeks ago, and am really loving your videos. I'm now officially obsessed with the Tenere 700. I am preparing my 2019 Yamaha Tracer GT 900 for sale, so that I can hopefully get hold of a Tenere 700. They are just finally arriving here in western Canada.

Keep up the great work on your channel, and warm greetings from Canada!

Hi buddy and thanks for the praise. I can’t give you a good answer on the flags because I just found some stickers on a ”local” site and bought them. The only important thing is that you get them approx the same height as the graphic. Good luck with the T7. I know you will be happy with it. 👍🏻

Thanks for the video. I'm fitting a set of similar hand guards, and I'm a bit curious how you mounted yours. I got the kit from off-the-road (German company), which has a mounting "kit", which is a bar end weigh replacement (very light), that is complete round, quite hard to tighten. From your videos it looks like you have the same kit. I'm a bit worried about getting them tight enough, and with loctite, getting them off one day (!). Also the clamps don't really seem to be possible to fit nicely, being flush on the handlebar. Either they don't sit flush on the guard "bar", or the are not flush on the handlebar itself.

Great review. I am looking to buy a new adventure bike. I formerly owned a 1200GS, but I don't want to spend that much money on a new one. I plan to ride about 25% off road (easy dirt fire road trails) and 75% on road, with some long trips planned. I am looking at the T-7 and the Triumph 900. I hear the Triumph motor puts off a lot of heat. I live in a hot climate and would not enjoy that. How will the T-7 be on long trips? Any other bike ideas? Thanks, Adam

[@NomadSweden]

Thanks. Nice to hear. The T7 is also a very hot engine so you need to get moving or turn off the engine. On long trips it's ok for me, but not comfortable like the obvious more touring oriented bikes. I just love the bike and take the good with the bad. If you go most road the Tiger is good, also if the Africa Twin 850 becomes reality that would be interesting.

I have been comparing the Honda CB 500X and this Tenere 700 for about a day now. And I was wondering if there are enough options for a shorter rider on this one (I'm 170cm). And how is the seat when riding long touring distances? I saw that there is a lowering kit and low seat option as well.. but I wonder if there are any aftermarket "touring seats" that are really comfortable in long asphalt stretches? And I'm leaning more towards this Yamaha because it seems to have enough power for both on and offroad. And I think there is a more touring oriented variant coming as well. /greetings from finland

[@NomadSweden]

170cm should be no problems. I see shorter riders even without lowering. There are plenty of lowering kits and since the bike is so popular there are tons of after market accessories and more is coming every day. I can't recommend any seats since I haven't looked in to it. I am ok with the standard seat. Planning a 5 week 10.000km trip this summer so I will know :)

@@NomadSweden thank you

[@michaelfreuworth5979]

@Nomad Sweden: how do the handguards fit with the OEM heating grips? Many thank in advance and great review!

[@ivanristic7071]

Hi Nomad Swede, great bike and videos. Can you tell me what quad lock mount are you using, i guess its a mirror mount option. Thanks for the time to read this. I have a pleasure of owning a T7 for few months already and am looking of getting quad lock myself. Cheers

Hi Robert, another great video thx. I noticed that you don't have your Motoz tyres in this video. How are you finding them?

[@NomadSweden]

Guess i need a review of them soon then. They are great off road but can be sluppry on wet tarmac. Lasts forever. I had to take them off because the front started uneven wear and vibrate.

[@jutt3325]

What about tyres life ?

[@NomadSweden]

I have used many tyres on this bike. You mean the Pirelli Rally STR that comes original? I don't know because I took them off after 400km. Thet still had miles to go but I didn't like them.

[@jutt3325]

@@NomadSweden and what about tyres life that you are using? Company name? Thanks for reply

[@NomadSweden]

I am not sure what you looking for. Do you want long life or good grip off road? If you choose off road tyres they will last 5000km and if you want touring tyres you can get 15000 km.

Hey, what kind of clothes, shoes, helmet you bought for ridin your tenere? Thanks

@@NomadSweden thanks à lot

[@raysamson8089]

Have you had any rust or corrosion on the spokes? I really enjoy your videos as well. Definitely help with my decision making on which adv bike to get next.

[@NomadSweden]

Hi and thanks! Well oxidation is there on the spokes but mostly theyre jusg dirty. No rust . Good luck on your choice. The middle weight adv market is exploding for sure.

[@chrishart8548]

Are they definitely not stainless steel then ?

How did you like the tankcapacity? 16 ltr for an ADVENTURE bike!!!!????

[@NomadSweden]

No problems in Europe. I can go 350km and theres always petrol in that radius. If I need more I bring 3 litres extra. If you need more you bring it but it is very rare. Instead I don’t have a mega tank to haul around off road. I like it this way.

[@Tarsys]

I say this cause i travelled with my tenere xt660z 100k onroad and offroad and sometimes did 500km on 1 tank. Anyway in the desert in Tunisia i was very pleased with my 23 ltr tank. And it is really a shock for me that Yamaha brings this 700 ADVENTURE BIKE with a 16 ltr petroltank, unbelievable!

[@NomadSweden]

Im glad it’s this small. If I need more I bring it for that particular stretch. I can bring 50l if thats whats needed. Dont see the problem. But it’s more an offroad rallybike than a round the world bike. There are problems only if you look for them.

[@Tarsys]

If it's more an offroad bike than it surely needs a bigger tank! But oke we agree to disagree!

[@NomadSweden]

There are extra tanks to buy and rumor has it a larger tank version is under way also. So everyone can be happy 😃 Remember people going around the world on smaller tank. It's only up to the rider. Not the bike.
