Yamaha Tenere 700 - Long Term [66,000km] Owners Review

[@AdventureMine2022]

My T7 is just over 74,000kms and I agree with everything you said. I've had her all over the Canadian west, the American southwest and all over Mexico. I've literally never has a single problem with the bike. Not. One. And that tops everything else for me and the type of riding I do. Thanks for the great vid.

There's a guy in the US who is knocking on the door of 200'000 miles on his T7. He is riding for charity. By his own admission it only gets serviced occasionally because he basically lives on it and has had no problems whatsoever. It's great in this day and age for a manufacturer to rest their laurels on reliability and longevity. I really enjoyed your review and straight up perspective, thank you. As an aside my moniker is my bike TDM 850, the T7's grandad engine wise. Same thing, it just runs and doesn't care what roads I ride, how hard I ride it or how far I ride it. Knocking on 100'000kms.

I bought my Tenere 700 for the same reasons that you outlined Pavlin: Yamaha reliability, simplicity, I'm the traction control. It's a great bike. Paul, Arizona, USA.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks for sharing, Paul!

[@ryane6601]

Well done Pavlin. I 100% agree with your review. My 2021 Tenere700 has 39000km and I have only had to replace rear brake pads and the front sprocket, other than regular oil changes. That’s it. No leaks, no squeaks, no breaks, nothing has failed or broken. The stock front tire was a safety hazard when it started to wobble uncontrollably, but that was remedied by changing brands. I recently took my dog on a 5000km, 3 week Moto camping trip and awoke every morning knowing my Yamaha would take us to far away places trouble free every single time. Reliability is worth more then everything else when you are hundreds on km away from any type of help. Keep up the fantastic videos.

Speaking of Yamaha reliability, you are absolutely spot on! I live in Philippines, I had a Yamaha Vega Force-i, 115cc, dialled up to 79,000 kms in long commutes in 4 years, road, off road, mud, sand, potholes, etc. All I did was converting my wheels to spokes and tires to dual sports. Fuel efficient up to 80km per liter. Never had a problem during my ownership. Just oil changes and two sprocket changes until I sold it eventually. It was my first bike and it's reliability is built like a soldier.

Great review I am 19 years old. I grew up riding heavy dirt bikes. The weight really doesn't bother me. This bike blows me away more I ride it. I live close to the applalacian mountains in the U.S. This bike is like cutting butter with a hot knife. It slices through the mountains. I have been able to scrape my pegs in the twistys. Im happy with my purchase its a do everything motorcycle. This motorcycle will never let you down. Its a bike my grandkids could ride one day.

[@greyfisher3897]

Your 66000km review of the Yamaha soldier was well done. Your experience on this bike accumulating these km's in a wide range of terrain demonstrates accurately the reliability of this bike, which was the key point you made I think, reliability, and overlooking or accepting the shortfalls. I too agree with your assessment about the high center of gravity and the handling on slower twisty roads. I lowered mine with the Yamaha kit, and noticed immediately the grace it showed in the transitions from corner to corner. I lowered mine not because of seat height, as I am 6ft tall with good long legs, instead I lowered mine to address the top heavy element. After a while I got used to it and like you accepted it as a minor shortcoming......as I have my DRZE for real off road riding. Glad you took off the crash bars too, I never liked those, as they seem counter intuitive and dangerous to the legs in a fall. The trick is not to crash... I learned that Yamaha means "mountain blade" in Japan. A soldier marches on, and yes, easily the most reliable bike out there in my general opinion.....Although I will say, Yamaha replaced my rear axle, bolt, and locking plates, as I experienced thread galling, and it was just off warranty......So they stand behind their product and I accepted this fail as rare....I noticed with some basic research that I wasn't the only one, and it has happened on some FZ9's....same axle apparently. MIne was made in Japan as I am in Canada, but in no way does this affect my feeling of reliability, but not hiding the fact that it was worrisome at the time. Every bike I have owned....always has one issue at the beginning it seems

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks for sharing your experience with the model!

[@artfulalias3984]

Thanks for this comment. I am also tall enough for this bike. The lowering kit seemed like it might be a good tradeoff for all around handling, if one were just not interested in more technical terrain on a 200 kg bike. I had noticed other reviewers stating it is top heavy compared to the Transalp for instance, talking about better weight distribution. But the Transalp has less ground clearance by over 25mm. Was it just the lowering link and sliding the forks up the clamps? Or were internal changes made in the shock and forks?

[@Codesch]

@@artfulalias3984 i am 5'7'' (170cm). i lowered front and back by 2cm, but also have a lowered seat, which is really important. The rest is the right boots and i also have a different handlebar, that brings in the angle of the handles to the rider. All this together really does it for me. Now it's perfect. i am not missing any clearance the way i am using the bike, being light weight, no pillion, no luggage, no heavy terrain. Even with some of those, would still be good, i think.

[@ewendavidson8787]

Another great video. The T700 is a great bike, many people say the same things as you. I’ve just watched another video where a guy raising money for MS has done almost 170,000 miles on his T700. Well done again. 👏👏

[@clivekirkman1]

I have had my Tenere for one year now and have travelled 18k on it and it has made the clutch noise fron the very first day, I find that if you let it warm up for 1min and pull the clutch in a few times before moving it usually wont make the noise, great videos Pavlin looking forward to your next trip where are you going next?

I do exactly the same with the clutch every time.

Well done pavlin, that has to be the best, and most honest review ive seen on a T7. Love your work and its great to see other places around the world that you visit. The tenere has a cult following here in Australia, perfect bike to get out and go exploring. Im on the shorter side around 5ft'8, i have the low seat on my T7 and it suits me fine, im not flat footed, but the more you ride it in the hills and rough stuff the more confident you become. Thanks for your awesome videos. Cheers 🍻

I bought WR version after I watched your trips on YTon your Tenere. Yes yes. I know. It is heavier and bigger but I am too. 202 cm and 120 kg and it makes a difference especially during long motorcycle trips. And You know what ? It is great! It is for me probably as yours is to you. Normal version is simply too small for me and all my stuff. Of course I kept it light as I can without hard panniers etc.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Good to hear!

[@PimRademacher]

Where do you leave your legs on the World Raid? I’m 197cm but I found my knees hitting the tanks the whole time. The regular one is actually better when it comes to this, because nothing blocks the space for my legs!

[@michalkondas]

@@PimRademacher nothing block my legs… I’m sitting normal and have my legs around the tank. Maybe I’m sitting a little but further from the tank? I don’t know how is to sit differently 😊 and my knees do not hit the tank but grab it as these should.

[@joserafaelarguedasrodrigue4696]

I'm 1.85m, 110 kg... Should I go for the regular one or the WR version? I have a Versys 300 and can't ride for more than an hour because my coxis hurts, I think this is because there's not enough space to stretch my legs properly so most of my weight goes to my lower back

[@michalkondas]

You have to try both and decide. Your height I guess better normal. But is ok for WR as well.

Fantastic bike! I dont think it can be beaten for that Magadan trip. I had the same problem with soft paniers marking plastics, mine are painted so did not want to do too much damage - i found on Amazon a clear plastic bumper protection tape, that has worked well. One thing i will say, I can only do weekend tours and it was fine for my 800 mile trip.

I noticed in NZ the enduro riders cover their bikes in duct tape to keep the plastic new. ....at least 30 years ago they did. Anyhow....I do the same now....I have a black 22 T7, and a role of black duct tape covers my side panels to protect from my luggage systems rubbing.....and then one day peel it off and like new, and redo. It cost me $ 1.49 a roll. The more I ride my T7, the more I love it..its different alright

[@garryharnell5757]

What a great, no bullshit, video! I own a T7, have only done 24000k on it but about 75% off road on trails, lanes etc.. the rest on highway trips with bigger cc bikes for company and i've had no issues running with them at all. I agree 100% with your comments and absolutely love my T7 for all those reasons. I have history with larger bikes but never had a bike make me smile so much on and off the highway. look forward to hearing more about your adventures👍

Good day, really appreciate your videos. I have a Suzuki DR650 (1995) but I'm looking at a Ténéré 700 Rally (2022) with 7 500km (I'm 1.78m). Your presentation of the Ténéré is great as it helps me to judge if I'm on the right path. The twin cylinder should make riding a lot smoother, and road riding should be more enjoyable - although as you correctly say, highways are needed to go where you actually want to start your riding. The "top heaviness" has indeed be mentioned by other people, but the bike has so many other strong points. Thank you for a comprehensive overview.

As you and I said, no camera crew, sound man, editing suite, support vehicles but you did it in style and gave us a view into Russia which we presently don’t have. Thank you again and it’s great to see you home safe. Kindest regards from Bonnie Scotland. Joe.

Problem here is that both Charlie and Ewan were known 'celeberaties' thaty had their own regular TV programme series watched on a regular basis by millions of people, and constantly advertised on TV channels. Their reach would be far more than Pavlin's. He needs to persuade a TV producer to come up with regular TV series talking, testing and evaluating bikes.

My goal is to see the world, not to become famous!

Great video mate. I am glad I bought a T7. Take care from Australia

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks, you too!

[@davidroberts7490]

Definately the best review of this bike 👍

[@motorcycleadventures]

Glad you think so!

9:00 I like your thinking! :) Vibrating stuff handles forces differently then stiff stuff, and the dash is indeed not a TV screen to be watched continuesly.

Thanks for watching!

I just bought the World Raid version, and I'm in love with it. Everything said in this video is the truth, all the truth and the only truth about this bike.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks for taking the time!

Just to add to my previous comment Pavlin dad and I have decided to buy the Yamaha T7s for our trip to Norway and Iceland honest quality reviews like this that are so refreshing initially after looking at the 890r and reading all the issues Ktm dont fix an having experienced that on two of them dad and I have decided to go with Yamaha Reliability its refreshing to see a nice and simple motorcycle. Hope you are keeping well n thank you for the video sharing your experiences.

Excellent review Pavlin. Sorry i missed your first live stream since you come back from Magadan. Will watch it on Tuesday. Can't wait that you start uploading your trip series. I'm sure the trip was amazing.

[@motorcycleadventures]

No worries! The first episode I will upload on Thursday. See you next Sunday.

I have T7 for almost 3 years and for the first time I hear someone talk about this clutch problem, that I expirence myself after 18000k.... Very good that you mention it on the review. I understand that is a problem in all CP2 engine, it happens when riding in heavy traffic jams (that I have all the time) and offroad a lot, What I did and see others doing is to change the clutch plates, but you dont need to change all of them only the first one (it was very burn, black color looking), but if you already disassemble the engine so I change all of them....very strange weakness. Nice informative review GOOD WORK💪

[@motorcycleadventures]

Good to know, thanks!

Thanks for the great videos. I have a KTM 1190 but I'm planning to buy a Tenere 700. I'm planning for a Balkan trip for this summer and my first stop will be the gorgeous Varna city. Hope to see you there.
