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.

[@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

[@NomadSweden]

Cheer! Thanks for sharing and good luck

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

[@martine.6757]

You nailed it. I´m the average guy as well and feel the same about the bike👍🏼

[@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.

[@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!

[@keswicktours]

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. Greetings from Iceland, Bernd

[@NomadSweden]

Sounds awesome. I like the blue version. 👍🏻

[@veiledallegory]

KTM, 790 problems, oil leaks, cruise control not working, rear shock failure with low miles, front rotor problems, etc.... Tenere 700 problems, front fender cracked and.......... nothing! Dang it why did I buy a 790? I might have an answer for that if it would stay out of the shop long enough.

[@Xavii1986]

12000 on my Ktm 790 adv R and zero problems.. fingers crossed, i love this bike.

[@gamwpanagia]

Just hearing or reading "ktm" gives me ptsd after owning the black motor duke 640.

[@ams914]

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.

Very cool review good to hear that there is no problems with your bike thanks for sharing.

The T7 is a great "do it all" bike. It's not best at anything, but for me it's a perfect compromise.

@@NomadSweden hi,.thanks for the reply. I think it is also after a short demo impressie. Very liked 💚 the peppy living engine. The seat i didn't like so much and the wind noise (coming from a Naked) But maybe it also take some getting used to, or can make some adjustments. It is also not the smallest bike for someone like me at 176 cm Greetz out Holland 🤚

[@doc-slider5345]

Thanks for the review. This is by far the most sensible selection of accessories for the Tenere. Maybe with a chain guide then it is perfect

[@markkimble3202]

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!

[@NomadSweden]

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!

[@xavierzave8452]

Sounds like a great bike i will wait and see for a couple years

[@searchingfor6thgear44]

Great review. You came right out and told us why it is the unicorn for how you ride. If I could have walked into a U.S. dealership and bought one this year, I would have (as your videos have strongly influenced me on the qualities of this bike, for the types of riding I see in my future). Alas, Yamaha is just now fulfilling orders from months ago in the US market. Timing... Enjoy the ride! I'll share this with some Fbook groups that have expressed interest in the T7.

[@DaDaDo661]

The tube behind your windscreen could deteriorate from the constant UV exposure. You should replace it once and awhile.

Nice info, Robert. They're great bikes to customize. I've cut the small peg off my side stand because it was catching on my heel when standing. Noticed the same thing was happening while you demonstrated the action of the rear rack serving as stegz pegz. Enjoyed your vids on this bike before mine arrived here on Vancouver Island and still do. Thanks for showing us around Sweden!

Yes i noticed the heel on this vid. Will think abou it. Cheers!

[@BlackThor15]

Great review Robert, thank you for sharing it!

[@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?

[@NomadSweden]

Thanks. Yes the rack is nice since the pillion has grips to hold on to.

[@Braapncamp]

I like the thoughts on your mods and set up!

[@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 👍🏻

[@TomasLindquistOlsen]

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. Did you have any of these issues/worries? Thanks

[@NomadSweden]

I have had no problems. I removed the weights and the fit is not perfect but it is stable for 2 years now

[@TomasLindquistOlsen]

@@NomadSweden ok good to hear, I think I'll try and put away my fit-ocd and get on with it 😛 thanks!

[@quesadilla79]

thanx for the update and deep breakdown of pros and cons

[@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.

[@dawaimulders3169]

Nice one. 👍🏽 i am surprised about the tyres. Because these come on stock. What do you think about theme. And are they still on it for 15.000 km’s. Thanks ✌🏽

Hi, I noticed that when you stood up on your balls of your feet (which is what you should do) and leaned a little back, the sidestand is actually touched and pushed downwards. I would imagine that bigger boots like my size 15s (49.5) even more so. Isn't that annoying or even dangerous?

[@NomadSweden]

This normally never happens becaus I stand toes in heals out. Never noticed it

[@C_R_O_M________]

@@NomadSweden ok, thanks for the answer. I ride my enduro bike boots tacked in (toes and heels inside and parallel to the chassis but heels are dropping relatively to the pegs) and there's this side stand protrusion/helper thing on the T7 which seems quite long. I don't know. I'll have to ride one again. It didn't seem to bother me either when I test rode a couple of T7s but I didn't stand up as I was street riding. P.S. I have the standard stegpegz on my 500EXC and they DO make a difference. I'd buy the desert ones if I knew. That was a great tip for the metal support doing the same job on the T7. Saves money.

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 :)

En version satt ju till och med i motorblocket :) så ingen skada på plasten men motorblocket sprack. För mig har handskydden tagit alla crasher hittills och är det en plastkåpa som ryker så kostar den 1200kr. Jag kommer skydda min hoj lite mer framöver men bara delar som kan stoppa min resa. Inte skydda från plastrepor.

Great video! Did you buy a oem tail tidy?

[@NomadSweden]

Yes from t7rally.com

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.

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.

[@scotwilson4169]

@@gnom_anonim Might be an issue with the bike, but yes it is very common if he is riding hard off road, doing jumps, lots of wheelies then probably his fault

[@yusufcgursoy]

Thank you, it’s very useful

[@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

[@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 ?

[@shirokazama]

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!

[@NomadSweden]

Thanks for your kind words! I had rust on the tank which i have now protected. Spokes i dont really care about that much. 👍🏻

[@shirokazama]

@@NomadSweden So ready to rock n' roll! May I ask you what you used to protect the tank? ACF50?

[@NomadSweden]

Yes good guess 🎯

[@jhosquare8427]

Nice review! 15k km with stock tires? Nice!

[@NomadSweden]

Thanks! I have only 2.500km on the stock Pirellis though. I put hem on only when I have nothing else 😊 new tires on the way soon.
