Holy shit girl, I was going to ask why you left the stock exhaust on the bike if you know what your doing, THEN I SAW YOU RIDE.. awesome to see you thrashing the big T7 and I will absolutely be paying more attention to your channel 👍. I can handle a t7 reasonably well but m8 your a weapon...great to see a lady's riding channel that survives on proper hard riding, not relying on "I'm a girl so I'm special"...I sure as hell could not out ride ya..top stuff and kind regards Jb
Thank you so much, I am really happy to hear it! ✋😊 Yes, you are right, the exhaust change is mandatory too, but for me these five things and the brake system are the most important to do list parts. Once I got the full control over the bike - shocks, forks, tires, brakes - and she is protected a bit more as the OEM sh.... well... Next is the engine power and throwing away that ugly stock exhaust for sure! 😄
@@braapt7 I mentioned the exhaust as the stocker has a bad habit of bending Into the swing arm on impact. I agree 100% on the 5 mods you talk about. In the order you suggest as well.
@@braapt7 I couldn't agree more, I have essentially the same set up. Tyres/rally raid forks (also known as tractive as u know) revalved shock with 8.5kg spring, camel adv brake pedal and more (I won't bore you with details lol 🤣. But I completely understand why you've waited on the exhaust. When you do may I suggest you mate a camel adv high mount kit to a black widow muffler. The camel high mout kit and link pipe is expensive but very tough and well worth the effort of saving for it, while the black widow muffler is an excellent price (got mine for $300dollars (aussie dollars). and has proven to be as good as any of the over priced stuff from Akropovic or arrow. Anyways I'm gunna save watching your vids till I get home (I'm an interstate truck driver) where I can see them on the TV instead of trying to watch on my phone. Keep those vids coming m8 👍👍
Your not alone sis I did the first 4 I ride rocky ST and don't need long legs on this bike other then mine.... TracTive X-TREME PRO Rally Fork Cartridge Kit (+25 mm) and TracTive X-TREME-PA PRO Shock (+25 mm) Mitas Enduro Trail XT+ front and rear I did add a Scotts Stabilizer and a APX plate I don't like the big guards so I just have a rad guard and took off the rear pegs add a set of YZ pegs and Barkbusters took everythuing off the back. I love to jump from my YZ250x to the T7 and back to the YZ really keeps me sharp. Stay safe and enjoy the ride...
Thank you so much! ✋🙂 You have an excellent setup on your bike. I wish I could handle the +25mm suspension, the T7 must be so much more agile with those ones. Also I wish I had an YZ250! :D Safe ride to you too! 😄
Totally agree, every bit of suspension upgrade is a treasure for this bike. The OEM forks and shocks are... not good enough. I think I will pick the MIVV high mount exhaust one day... not sure why, maybe I like the look and sound better. 🤷♀️ I never had a Barkbuster handguard, but since I got this SW-Motech one - I got this after I made this video -, I am pretty happy with them! 😀
Thanks for the video, it was great to watch. what's the problem with the andreani cartridge? I want to replace the transalp 750 be now and this is what I looked for. does it only have a disadvantage at high speed off road? thank you!
Thank you to watch it! ✋🙂 Shortly: there is nothing wrong with the Andreani cartridges, if you pick the off-road version, I am sure it will work nicely. My problem, that I picked the Andreani Misano EVO version, which is not an off-road focused setup, just a regular fully adjustable cartridge. Really good, no problem with that either, but it's valves are not set for serious off-road ride. I can live with that, but they are working not in perfect sync with the awesome Tractive Rally Pro rear shocks. (Either too soft for landings and heavy bumps, or too rigid to smooth out the corner bumps.) I made the mistake that I didn't upgrade the front and the rear at the same time. First I thought that the front upgrade will be enough, so I bought the Andreani Misano EVO. - the off-road version wasn't available that time yet. Once I got that installed, I suddenly felt that the OEM rear shock is... well, can't really keep up the work with the front forks. :D After this I bought the Tractive rear shock, and once installed that one, I felt, the Andreani front can't handle the work of the rear agility... and here I am now. :D Summarize: yes, the Andreani Misano Evo is a really good cartridge if you don't want to ride serious Enduro style off road, like big jumps and motocross track fast rides. But if you aiming to beat Pol Tarres, you need more serious forks for that. ✌😁
Thank you! ✋🙂 More coming soon about motorbike setup things. Also thinking about review all my first 30 modifications I made two years ago and what left of them and in what conditions. 😀
With this wide open air intake I would seriously consider a different ECU map. Otherwise your T7 might run with a too lean fuel/air mix now. And if you have a T7 with the monochrome dashboard take a look at the ABS Dongle from LSK to deactivate the rear ABS only.
Thank you for the tips! ✋🙂 I was worried about the lean mix too, so I took it to the official Yamaha dealer where I bought my T7. It is owned by an ex-superbike championship rider, so I have trust in his team as well. They checked the bike's statistics, and they sad the bike runs on optimal fuel/air mixture. What would be the symptoms if they were not right? I mean, when I ride, what should I feel, what should I see on the bike's behavior? Getting hot early? Knocking piston? Less power? I am not experienced much in this with the CP2 engine, and I have no tools to measure it at home myself, so I have to trust in the service. :( ( in witch I always have doubt, no matter what. :D ) About the ABS... I don't trust the ABS at all. I would throw it out if the regulations wouldn't need it on the bike. I can feel the brake better, I can control the brake better without it, I tested it. Front and rear. In all surface conditions. Yes, I am that experienced rider. :)
Great No BS video, thanks. Btw, why not get a high mounted exhaust? I dropped it like 4 times and my exhaust was touching the swing arm and damaged it a bit. Got the mivv dakar to fix it
Thank you, I am happy you liked my video! ✋🙂 Why not the high mount exhaust? Well, I guess I didn't drop my bike on the right side as much as on the left side yet. 😁 But yes, I bent the OEM mount already, but still intact, although a bit cracked, bent and worn. I am planning to upgrade it, but not sure yet, which one: the MiVV Dakar or the HPCorse? Why did you choose the MiVV? (I think I will grab that one too, in black color. I think it has better -deeper- sound than HPCorse.)
@@braapt7 For me, sound is very important (detemines if I like a bike or not, no joke) and the mivv dakar absolutely nailed it. Can only recommend the Mivv Dakar it sounds like a beast. People say it's a bit on the louder side and I kinda agree, BUT you can absolutely ride it quietly. The installation is also pretty straight forward, no sawing off parts like with the camel adv enduro kit. Price is also fair. Would definitely buy it again. I have no idea why one should choose the HPCorse.. I can confidently recommend you the Mivv Dakar. I measured how loud the exhaust is, and it reached about 93-94 db when revving to 5k RPM. I am not sure where you are from, but if you plan to ride in tirol austria, it might get tricky since only 95 db are allowed on the majority of motorcycle favourable roads. I am also not that tall (174 cm) which is why I swapped out a month later after getting the bike. Hope that helps
@johanneswilhelm10 Thank you for the info, yes, indeed, it helped a lot. Now I am sure my next upgrade will be the MiVV Dakar, even if the loudness might be an issue in some situations. But if it's that easy to change it, well, even better! ✋🙂 And yes, I am curious about the sound sample too! Thank you!
@braapt7 one last thing.. for some reason Mivv doesn't include a carbon heatshield. You'd have to get this one extra for around 60€. Otherwise you will burn your shoe gripping with your legs.
Another great video, thanks! One other thing i found to be important is a chain guide... very impressed with your riding skills...maybe i missed it but whats youre riding background?
Thank you so much, I am really happy you liked it! =) Yes, chain guide is super important especially if you ride in deep ruts, forest with many branches and roots, also rocky terrain and other places where obstacles can mislead the chain on the rear sprocket. Yes, my riding skills come from many years of offroad riding. My father was a motocross rider, he teached me to ride when I was nine years old. I think this explains a lot. :D And I also ride offroad since ... many years now - few years out because work and family things -... (30) eeek....
For the look, indeed! ✌😎 However... the look isn't the worst aspect in the stock T7. Although it would be much cheaper than the suspension upgrade for sure. 😉🙌😁
From what I read it is expected for knobby front tires to cup of road due to heavy front brake use and cornering. Underdamped suspension is also mentioned as a cause for tire cupping. So I was curious if upgrading your suspension would help with the tire cupping. But I guess it is unavoidable.
@@AE8 Thank you to let me know! Well, I never really took attention for this. I am sure this could be avoided some way, but since I ride mostly offroad for fun, and using the tarmac just to get there. =) And on offroad I don't feel any difference of this, and on road the knobbies are horrible anyway. 🤷♀🤷♀😂😂
I got the easy clutch set from another manufacturer, and you are right, it is awesomesauce. 😎👌 Probably I should have added it to the list as an extra tip instead of the brake pedal. So... if you use more clutch, get the easy clutch, if you are more keen for the brake, get that one. ✌️😌

@@braapt7 Just curious, did you race lighter enduro or motocross bikes before moving to the T7? You look like you have that sort of riding style. I moved to the T7 from a naked street bike, so it still feels pretty big to me offroad (but getting easier each season).
Learning to ride offroad on the T7 must be challenging, I am sure. Keep up the work, and just step by step, no rush it, because you must control the bike with subconscious muscle memory in so many changing environment. Riding offroad is wonderful and challenging. And yes, I got two decades of experience in off-road amateur riding motocross, enduro and even a bit trials. I was lucky to learn from race riders, it's in the family. =)

@@braapt7 thanks again for the info 🙏 when you lose the snorkel, do u have to re-map the ECU? I remember something about running rich or lean after you increase airflow ?
When I replaced the air filter I didn't notice anything, it just worked as before. Same easy start, same throttle reactions, same power, same engine temperature tolerance to heat and pressure. No strange noises. She was in the official Yamaha service already two times, and they told me, all measures are fine, nothing had to be set.

It is true, that 150/70 r18 is the OEM tire size of the Tenere 700. Never use any other tire, unless you know what you are doing. And yes, 140/80 r18 is a bit weak for the T7, but if you know it's limits and benefits, you can live with it. I could. Two years, zero problems. (But I got 30 years experience in off-road motorbike riding.) Also I got a 150/70 r18 Dunlop 908rr on my bike right now, best tire yet for mixed use.
Basically yes. Even at moderate difficulty off-road track is highly recommended to use these upgrades. However, really depends of the terms of "serious" and "moderate" definition. What I really meant, you can ride offroad just occasionally for fun with friends on dirtroads, backroads, whatever. For this purpose you don't need a real hardcore knobby tire, no need for expensive suspension, and if you usually ride on sand, you don't even need a stronger bashplate. But if you want to rider harder than this, aka: take the ride "seriously", then you will need many upgrades for safe and controlled ride. Here you can decide your riding level: hobby, moderate, expert, master, Pol Tarres level, etc. but for all of these serious rides you will need upgrades. And all of the possible upgrades these are my top five picks for safety, control and fun. What would be your top five pick?
Now you did! I am happy to show you so many news, and I hope it will help you to ride offroad fun and safe. 🙂👌 However I suggest first the tires, and only then the suspension or the extra protection upgrade - according to your riding skills.
Holy shit girl, I was going to ask why you left the stock exhaust on the bike if you know what your doing, THEN I SAW YOU RIDE.. awesome to see you thrashing the big T7 and I will absolutely be paying more attention to your channel 👍.

Basically yes. Even at moderate difficulty off-road track is highly recommended to use these upgrades. However, really depends of the terms of "serious" and "moderate" definition.
What I really meant, you can ride offroad just occasionally for fun with friends on dirtroads, backroads, whatever. For this purpose you don't need a real hardcore knobby tire, no need for expensive suspension, and if you usually ride on sand, you don't even need a stronger bashplate.
But if you want to rider harder than this, aka: take the ride "seriously", then you will need many upgrades for safe and controlled ride.
Here you can decide your riding level: hobby, moderate, expert, master, Pol Tarres level, etc. but for all of these serious rides you will need upgrades.
And all of the possible upgrades these are my top five picks for safety, control and fun.
What would be your top five pick?
Iv "e never seen such a many shit in one Video! First Suspencenson than Tires , than Bodywoeks!!!!
Now you did! I am happy to show you so many news, and I hope it will help you to ride offroad fun and safe. 🙂👌
However I suggest first the tires, and only then the suspension or the extra protection upgrade - according to your riding skills.
Finally, I saw your video again, and I congratulate you, now you have 1000 subscribers. Keep up the enthusiasm, greetings from Indonesia
