Ultimate YAMAHA Ténéré 700 RALLY BUILD

[@MrBigPipesYT]

Cool, I was curious how racers were shedding up to 50lbs from their T7's. Swap headlight, exhaust/cat delete header, tail tidy/signal delete, ABS/front disk delete, lithium battery, carbon bash plate. Swap out hardware for titanium. Swap out rear wheel for 2". Great tip for moving the OEM headlight closer to the frame. Carbon fiber handlebars are available too. I'd be interested to see carbon spokes as carbon has strong tensile strength. Or perhaps even swapping out half of the spokes for carbon to reduce drag and rotational mass. Good to see such a positive review of the steering damper as well.

English with an italian accent is so awesome!

[@briantheminer]

Even stock, this has to be the best ADV bike currently out there

[@jbmectronic4314]

Agreed, I ride Enduro 450cc and have a Ténéré as a road/advbike, it really is awesome.

[@jurgenwauters9458]

Yes yes, more Ténéré, please!! While i wait for mine to be delivered ⏳⏳⏳⏳😮‍💨😏😁

Great build man. Do you know the total weight lost of your bike compared to a factory one?

[@martin4819]

Really nice build and have a great appreciation for all the work u put into it! Noticed your radiator guard is stock. I highly recommend the OEM upgrade. It’s looks a lot better in my opinion and it’s also lighter. SKDA is an awesome company to work with!

[@stefanhenne7487]

Manuel, great stuff! Would love to see a video about a T7 adventure built with your own bash plate and fairing. Can your newly developed fairing with the small, but powerful and lightweight headlight also be purchased with a "see through" wind screen? Maybe tinted?

[@ManuelLucchese1]

Thanks!!! At the moment no plans for a transparent windshield but might be towards end of the year.

[@AzMtnThumper]

Incredible build! Looking forward to the next video.

[@diegodonato5156]

buongiorno Manuel, una domanda ma per eliminazione ABS totale come impianto bisogna intervenire anche sulla centralina o basta smontare tutti i componenti e montare un impianto tradizionale grazie

[@corecass]

oke. so you took out the abs. but legaly in europa. is this an option one can do ? how did you manage that the light does not burn on the dash ? and once again. is it street legal with out mirrors / abs ?

[@ManuelLucchese1]

The ABS is necessary only for homologation whereas the light, mirrors, turn indicators etc I run it fully illegal :P

[@corecass]

@@ManuelLucchese1 Wish it had a dead normal toggle switch. If it were legal I would pull it out as well. Nice work an great ride style / skill !

[@graysonchurch262]

Where can I buy the led headlight replacement unit please?

[@keyboarddancers7751]

Fantastic build. 18.59 Selle Dalla Valle!

[@LookattheBiggerPic]

Quite the build! I would love to see more on the Rally Raid Suspension - I guessing you went with their 230mm Closed Cartridge up front and 230mm shock in the rear - I also purchased these for my T7 though have yet to install due to Not having a place to rework the forks for the moment... Much thanks for sharing so much detail!

[@VineV-Dutch]

Build a Desert X for a nice change. Don't see so many on your channel... As tall rider, 1,98mtr, I find many bikes to low. My knees aren't straight in 90° angle which makes getting up/standing up hard on the knees. Riders from Western Europe and Scandinavia have problems with this a lot. The Desert X is one of the highest off road biased motorcycle for us to focus on for us. Especially the new rally addition with 2 cm higher suspension and so, 2 cm higher seat height at above 90cm. This a a lot better for tall riders of the newer generation. Every generation gets taller and taller. But our cars, matresses, chairs, tables, offices and motorcycles don't grow with us unfortunately. But now Ducati gives us an opportunity.

[@mustcel5674]

Hi, how you arranged height of the bike? It looks after all modifications less than it should? Thanks

[@ManuelLucchese1]

I raised the height by adding a couple cm on the seat foam

[@Incalvideo]

So many great tips, thanks for sharing =)

[@danstevens2204]

No money left for chain lube?

[@wynnxc2820]

Very curious what you did with the clutch switch. Did you tape it up or just start it in neutral?

[@franzforman7816]

Manuel your T7 killed me! I own my own built KTM690 Rally and I have also built my own Cagiva Eelfant 750 Rally. The Cagiva is a legend but 220kg full still tricky to go with if it get slippery - the KTM is brutal wiht power and challanges me often when it get very selective - I am not a Trail rider working a lot with clutch. So thats why your T7 builts makes me crying - it looks awesome but also the changes you made are those one I did on my bikes too - the question is how heavy is your built T7? I love watching your channel - please go forward! Thxs Franky

[@fabiofrigato6130]

ciao Manuel sempre bellissimi video... ci dai un link per trovare la staffa per spostare la strumentazione sul manubrio?

In order to install the 2.5 wheel, did you have to change the brake disc?

[@mikewilliams6086]

[@sauttersmotochannel7320]

This is a mindblowing build!! Great Inspiration thank you very much! It would be super interesting to hear your experience with the digital RB. Will you do the Trans Italia Marathon on that bike?

[@fun2rideadventure]

...the headlamp is from Ktm Exc from 14-23 models :D

[@arthurmoto1956]

It's a great pleasure for me to see big Yamaha modded for a real racing! Just some notes. I reckon that front brakes are weak. They may be enough on a slippery surface but in a forest they are useless. This front master cylinder has 10 mm piston and it can stop only YZ125. We use old style 2007 11 mm masters and calipers with 27 mm 2 pistons on everything 250-450. Personally I use on my XT660Rally billet Braking floating 32 mm two piston caliper, EBC MXS pads, EBC 320 mm supermoto single rotor, Magura radial 13 mm master, braided line. It's just incredible set, linear, powerful and with long lever travel that allows me very accurate braking but can stop front wheel if I need. What piston size does your slave cylinder have? And what's about forks? Why didn't you use KYB SSS or any other twin-chamber forks?

[@1jbunceiii]

I am always amazed.... question....why doesn't a manufacturer just build the bike we want. So we don't have to deal with building our own.

[@ManuelLucchese1]

Thanks!!! But see it in this way, if they built the perfect bike then it would take away the fun of customising it and spending endless hours and nights in the garage hehehhe

[@MotorDanko]

I would like you to create a full windshield + side fairing for the ktm 790/890 adv, using the stock headlight:D

Hey bud what are the exact handlebars you have on there . excellent build as usual

[@stephaneolivier8924]

Really nice bike, I love it !! Only one question, why don’t you change the licence plate holder, which is too long in the original ?? Any recommendations for a new one ? Yamaha short plate holder accessory is OK ? Thanks

[@Angry-Lynx]

what are those legs, how much was suspension upgrade total cost?

[@ManuelLucchese1]

Approximately the suspension upgrade was 2.700 euro but really worth it, changed the ride ability of the bike off-road

[@leonardobattaglia8041]

Ciao, nessuna protezione sui carter, come mai? Protezioni al leveraggio della sospensione posteriore? L'originale sembra molto esposto

[@ujjroland1693]

Do you know approximately how much weight were you able to save?

[@stonethecrows5334]

Hi Manuel, how does your tenure build compare to the KTM 790 R. I'm very interested to hear your opinion?.

[@ManuelLucchese1]

I feel they are two very different bikes to ride, here in Sardinia I rode also a 790 Rally from a friend and what I can say is that the Tenere 700 is more stable, it gives you a "safer" feeling when riding on fast sections whereas the 790 is more agile in tight sections but the rear suspension feels all the time unpredictable and trying to kick on rocks. The Tenere you have to ride standing up most of the time to go fast whereas the 790 brings you to sit down more

[@blackbur3825]

which protaper handlebar model is it?

[@Goranh]

ma come mai non hai cambiato/tolto quel portatarga orribile? non salverebbe peso (ed estetica) alla moto? grazie!
