T7 Specific Toolkit - Yamaha Tenere 700

Hi guys!
Please follow me in the making of my T7 toolkit creation, what I will and will not have in it.
Cheers
Marcus

Putting a tool roll together is fun. Too bad you have a Yamaha. You never get to use the tools on the road... 😥

[@everythingtenere]

Haha, true 🥴. I never had needed it before And the only time I packed tubes in my saddlebag, a KTM rider got use of it.

[@lajjvo]

I've started my trip down the tool roll rabbit hole for my T7 as well. One thing I always look for is to have all the tools needed to tighten handlebars, levers, barkbusters and footpegs. Those are usually the first to hit the ground in a fall, and will usually need some attention.

[@everythingtenere]

@@lajjvo great point. Maybe need to add a bit for the pegs.

Hi, it's a pleasure listen your calm presentation about Tenere-stuff! Thanks a lot!!! I love to improve my equipment for adventure-travelling with my T7. Thanks a lot for the solution to vakuum the tubes!!! I did the same with the tyre-soap! Some small pouches with the soap are under my seat. It saves space instead of an extra container because the pouches are flat. For opening the tubevalves in the field I use something else. A small tool with a thin steel rope "Air valve puller". I use it from DRC. Its extremly helpful for pulling the tubevalve through the Rim-hole. Rope/valvethread from the outer side to the inner side of the rim. Srew the valvethread in the valve Its the best to install the tube in the tyre, at the end the valve and at the very end pulling the valve through the hole. Now save the valve with the srew an pull the second side from the tyre onto the rim. I'm looking forward for new T7-videos 🙂 Best regards from germany

I had to replace my front tire tube after 182 miles from brand new. I am told the factory didn't put the band on the rim correctly, which caused the spokes to rub on the tube. Luckily the bike is outstanding and kept me alive while ridding 10 miles on a flat going over 148 kmh 92 mph.

[@johnvoit9629]

And no, the bike didn't give any signs it was flat. Was riding on a highway.

[@taylorlawson]

Thanks for taking the time to put this video together. It is extremely helpful for me as I put together my own tool kit. Thanks! I may hit you up for some of that life-time supply of tire lube! 😊

[@krede99]

for chain tension I just made a mark on the spanner I use to adjust the chain tension

[@ADVMoto_Geoff]

I have a simular collection of tools with the addition of a spark plug socket and 2 knuckle joints. I've also modified the wiring behind the right front panel to make it easier to access the plugs when out riding. Spare tube will also fit nicely behind the right rear panel. Great videos BTW, I've subscribed.

[@everythingtenere]

Thanks for the sub!! I opted out of the sparkplug tools, as we do not have any real water crossings etc here. I agree regarding drilling holes in the tire levers, will just weaken them.

[@skybluetenere]

I have a very similar pump and it works well. I usually check tyre pressure on cold tyres before riding and this little bike pump allows an easy adjustment.

[@everythingtenere]

Same here buddy

[@scottmoss8823]

Great video! Thank you

[@lornekriwoken1526]

Great video - thanks!

[@johnstaring3210]

You carry pretty much what I do. Only other things I carry: Toothpaste sized tube of tyre lubricant, toothpaste sized tube of universal grease, and several large size compressed air cylinders (as used for push bikes) with their adapter. These cylinders save on the elbow grease ! Also, I don't worry about the tyre spoons as I can fit my own tyres at home just with the bead breakers.

[@everythingtenere]

I did fix a small container with tire lube, and I have some tiny tubes with grease 😊. I also switch from the tool roll to the Lyndon organizer, fit all the stuff but in a handier package

[@neilcoleman3796]

Thank you

[@tomg216]

I still don't have a tool kit, so this is a great help for me. Thanks for sharing. Near the end of your video you mentioned placing some tools under the seat, separate from the tool kit. Once you feel you have all the tools you need, would it be possible to make a ten minute video describing what you have and where?

[@everythingtenere]

Thanks! For sure I can do a recap. But check my rallyseat video, I now fit all tools under there ;). I use Enduristan Lyndon organizer instead of the roll, same amount of tools but in a more convenient package. So tool kit, RR wheel removal tool, 3 tire levers (one bead pro). Multi tool, zip ties, duct tape and some other small stuff.

[@tomg216]

Thanks for the quick follow up.

[@Nerb1]

How do you vacuume seal the tubes? I like that idea.

[@everythingtenere]

I have food saver, a vac packer. I cook a lot of food using a sous vide, then u need to vacuum pack 🥴

[@Jusper89]

Didnt get it but are you taking regular tire irons and bead pros or just one? And for valve removal you can ditch that big tool and swap it with valve cap who has valve removal included. And great idean about vacuuming tubes. Will try that, i put in bag and use duct tape to make it more compact.

[@everythingtenere]

Yes the Bead pro’s and two other spoons just in case :). Yea a small valve cap with the tool built in would be nice 😊

[@MatteoTurilli]

Smart idea vacuuming the tubes :) What tubes did you buy?

[@everythingtenere]

These were Metzler, from a HD type and rear a standard.

[@cliff1551]

Nice one Marcus 👍are you doing levers soon

[@everythingtenere]

Yea, as soon as they arrive.. looks like they are in the 🐌 mail, so frustrating. So next weekend I’d be able to sort it, as I will be off in the week

[@stephenhadley2490]

I think you could get rid of the spanners and sockets and just get a 3 way socket tool and an adjustable wrench. I don’t take any spare nuts and bolts, just steel cable ties. I also carry a snapjack and rim protectors but I think you could do away with the snapjack and just lay the bike on its side. The rear tyre is quite hard to get back on the bead at the side of the road. I don’t think a hand pump would be up to it.

[@everythingtenere]

Yea, you always bring extra stuff 😅. I have hand pumped a rear with my small pump when mounting the tire, takes time but no issues getting high enough pressure to pop it. But I also bring a co2 cartridge. Now when I changed tires, I only used two spoons, didn’t need the bead breaker. So will slim down to only have 2 under the seat. I fit all my tools and pump under the seat. Only thing to big is Trailstand, but as you said, not really a must. Rally seat is awesome, so much more room.

[@wanderlustadventures8850]

Thank you Marcus for showing us your toolkit 🙌 i have a similar collection of things that i will take with me. 😊 Do you know what brand the little pump is? It fits perfectly in there 👍

[@everythingtenere]

Thanks buddy, Been dragging putting a kit together. The pump, hmm not sure. I just ordered one via Ali express, there are tons of different ones availeble.

[@wanderlustadventures8850]

@@everythingtenere cheers mate 👍 will have a look then 😊 wish you a nice weekend. Ride safe (i hope the snow is gone now!) 😉

What is the Numbers rally raid for rear

[@radusz1]

front tube put behind spped meter in tenere 700 - starage and no shakes :) .... you welcome ....

[@everythingtenere]

I don’t have my Speedo there if you seen my rally tower build 🤪. But yes, could probably fit it there anyways somehow

[@barjio]

Have seen people have tire iron on bikes they just drilled two holes in then mounted on the old pillion pegs holes.. Just an idea . 🤷‍♂️

[@everythingtenere]

Plenty of places to have them, but that’s a smart way of storing them at all times for sure.

[@ADVMoto_Geoff]

I seen this on a few videos, the problem is the hole may weaken the lever causing them to bend or break given the amount of pressure placed on them when changing tyres. Depending on what levers you carry they can be zip tied inside the bash plate
