Two strokes are a joke. Never again

Junk

I just moved the steering wheel and it all fell into place.

Take it from a 60 year old whose late husband was a maintenance man...guys like you make the best husbands.

Did all the cables reach for the ATV Hi bend ? I have a set of Protapers laying around and thought about throwing them on mine. Bike looks sick though.

No. I did not go any crash-bars. Dropped bike few times and it was ok. Even in Iceland ua-cam.com/video/1xKVuICy7Do/v-deo.htmlsi=aaDYAbPlBZnvuRbU

I need a comparison from someone that rides street a lot too. I’m debating between the crf 250 rally

Dropped my bike last week on a narrow two track full of lava rock without guards as they haven't come in yet. Bike landed on a bowling ball sized rock, cracked the right fairing, scratched/nicked up the engine in a couple of places, and was lucky didn't hit water/pump or hoses. In Arizona, especially Northern AZ, we have a lot of rock gardens. If you stay mostly on Forest Service roads, you probably don't need them, but I always seem top be sucked in by jeep/two track trails we have around here. 😅

What a great review and buyers guide. Thank you.

Thanks for the video!! Im gettin the new version today, yellow & black.

Hello Ogre, i am raul from argentina, i want to buy new dr650 they are ready selling in argentina, my concern is i am tall rider around 6′ 4″ and around 250lbs you think with some mods the bike is correct for my height? thanks in advance

Great job,thank you

I have the dsport front on my WR250R and I whole heartedly agree. Washes out wayyy too much, which is why I ended up here looking for recommendations! Perhaps I’ll try the MT21

6’7” here. Great review! Test rode a T7 and loved it but felt it was too top heavy for dirt road riding. Went with the Husky 701 Enduro because it’s much lighter and manageable as a starter bike.

What mirror mount do you have on that left side? Want to install an RSC but need a mirror mount.

I think you would like the Honda XR650L, i am 6’5 230lbs and had an Enfield Interceptor that i turned into a scrambler, then got the XR650. Looking for a wr250r as a mud slinger in the FL trails

My sx1 made my bike run worse, it stalls and flames out way worse. The only good thing is no engine braking

I stopped using crash bars years ago, they can do more damage to the bike in big crash then without it. T7 is a big dirt bike and no dirt bike has crash bars.

What did you do about the safety switch for the clutch lever?

Power lines always make good places to ride 👍

How tall are you and how much do you weight by curiosity?

MIne also said 4 holes in the plate, but that didn't make sense to me. I installed it with two holes (to try before making any changes), and 20W oil. RT said 15W. Even at 2 holes and 20W oil it was UNDERdampened in compression, but rebound was perfect. I believe it also said 3 revolutions of preload on the spring, and middle spring strength. Take these recommendations with a pinch of salt; ride your bike.

I bought 2 - 5 Drawer and did a stack giving me 11 storage areas Including 1 top area. Before you ask, Google US General or Harbor Freight 5 Drawer Stack. I put 4 swiveling casters. Turns on a dime.

Great review.

You ride slow af bro

Mine fell over in a parking lot, from standing to ground, left side. It broke the front turn signal (2024 amazon quality turn signal) and scratched the plastic and hand guard. Rough start to my adventure ride, but didn't drop it on the trails! I don't really want crash bars either, seems the extra weight could mess with the engineering?

i have a T7 for 1 and a half years and i thinking to sell it for a AT 24' model.. Time will tell !! cheers from Greece !!!

This is exactly the video I was looking for! At 6'4" the Tenere stock bars are a bit low for me. I didn't want to go with bar risers - going to have to try bars with a taller bend. Thanks for this!

ATK is best usa made

Well, let me puts this way: If I didn't own a engine crash bar, it wouldn't break and punch a hole in the crankshaft cover. Learning this the hard way.

I found an OEM set for half price so put them on and pleased I did, wasn't worried about the radiator really ,just wanted to protect the plastics, mate didn't have them and his bike is badly scratched now, I certainly recommend case savers though as the water pump is vulnerable as is the clutch casing etc, I just look at my dirtbike without bars and think the T7 would be just as beat up without bars, plus I've destroyed a radiator on my dirtbike.

Crazy that some dudes ride 600LB BMW's off-road. I would never take a bike off-road I couldn't pick up by myself.

Reading the thumbnail as an owner of a WR250R gives me worry.

The new intro has a bit of a Stranger Things vibe. Nice work.

yeah! amazing edition- ✋

250ex's are not all that cheap anymore.

I didn't use crash bars on my old xt660 tenere and I don't use it on T7. Bent crash bards can do more damage then if have nothing there especially if mounted to the engine. I use only acerbis skid plate which covers water pump and engine covers (both sides)

HI, this ODI grips are shorter than OEM T7 grips? is there a specific "throttle cam" model for Tenere, given that the Tenere is not mentioned in the compatible bikes table?

I did knobby ridge trails as my first off road experience on my chinese dual sport, also I only had 58 miles of riding experience total under my belt, was a blast, but very difficult for my experience level and bike, I also did crawford hills at the end of the season so i had a few hundred miles of experience by then and that was also super fun, can't wait to hit some more trails

The only difference between you and me is the boot size. I have a 13 all other numbers are a match. The only bike I ever enjoyed long term riding is the 1250GS Adventure with a tall rally seat and lowered pegs. The bike is so tall that the guys at the dealer ship only pull it when it is in for service lol. There a few no-go bikes for me, like the XR650l the Africa Twin, the KTM1290R or anything sport bike or Harley Davidson. Best bikes out of the box for tall riders are the Tiger 1200 with Off Rod Pegs, The KLR650 Gen3 and the Tenere 700. None of these need really anything to just ride them. I really want a DR650 but I am afraid there is nothing I can do to make it fit. So I might end up on a KLR650 even it has 80lbs more on the hips. For tight trails I ride a KLX230R and it didn't many mods to have fun on it :)

Would CRF250L enough for a 6'3" guy?

Good review! I'm going there next week. Lakeview OHV park near Solon, Iowa is my local park for the past two years now. It has come a long way in the past two years. It has two single track loops, roughly 7 miles each. Three trials areas, a variety of motocross tracks, sand pits, hill climbs, mud areas, youth track, tables, garbage cans, bathrooms and a nice big parking area. You should do a review!

Bought the T7 as a first bike. Love it, especially when you get used to it, now it fits me like a glove.

Great video 🇺🇲🎉🍾🇺🇲 Did you get the rear wheel with cush drive? Keep producing more videos about the drz

Props on the vid! For once, I didn't get irritated by the commentator!

I may have missed it, but did you have to use break or clutch cable extension?

You're a machine! 💪

I really like browsing through your videos sir, you're way more relatable than bigger channels. Subbed & hit the bell thing 👁👁

Before going through any of this or drilling out and removing the ignition try one of your unused keys if you have one. It worked for me. I just experienced the same problem the last 2 days; both times away from home. Initially, I thought it was because the steering wheel had locked in an odd way but the 2nd time I was leaving a party and it would not turn so I did a google and bam this is what I got. I finally got the key to turn and hauled ass home. I got home and it happened again. Today, I pulled out one of my other ignition keys that have never been used and compared it to the used key and noticed the used key is badly worn. I used one of the unused keys and bam the truck started. I hope it was just a worn key and not the ignition (so far it's promising). If I have to I will remove and replace the ignition. I will update if things changes. I will keep this video in the vault.

Did you replace the front and rear suspension springs. And how does the bike handle with factory springs I am about the same weight and height as you are. I am about to buy one my self as well.
