This is my dream bike. Im currently daily driving a 300 dual sport. The T7 would be far more than ideal. The Canadian mountain colorway is a sharp look.
You’re in explorer mode on the dash. That’s why nothing happens when you push it. Toggle down to street mode to see the other available dash style which I think is much better looking.
Peter's back. Guy's kinda awesome. Tacos n beer kinda awesome. Decided against buying a bike for now, but thanks for all the info and good presentation quality.
important fact error, when you add the lowered suspension link...you do not loose any travel...not even one millimeter. It simply lowers the bike less than one inch, and even slightly less when you lower the forks to factory lowering specs. What it does do is make the bike that much less top heavy in that proportion.
Did I talk about lowering the bike? I don't remember. Traditionally when you lower a bike you CAN lose suspension travel. If that's not the case, that's great.
Up to date pricing can be found here. www.yamaha-motor.ca/en/road/motorcycle/adventure I don't usually post prices because they can change, so the link will be accurate whenever someone checks it. I also always post the link in the description to the dealer that allows me to film, so you can check that link to see if they have any specials on.
That was me! I left a little over a year and a half ago to pursue a number of opportunities off camera, and I run this channel because I really enjoy doing this.
I only want to know one thing - Does ABS when turned off (fully or partially) reset to default setting when engine is turned off by kill switch or not? This has been the case on 2021-2023 Tenere's in North America and it's incredibly annoying.
Interesting. I didn't try that. I wonder if that's part of the regulations. Europe requires ABS on bikes and it may be a requirement to default to ON so that riders are never riding with it off by accident. I'll have to check this bike, but that would be my theory of why it defaults to on.
@@PeterLoweOneI would be totally ok with bike going back to default when key is switched on/off, but just using kill switch... I believe 890s don't switch back if it's set to front on/rear off, as the ABS is somewhat on, would be really nice if that was the case for Tenere. On 2021-2023 bikes most of us just drop clutch to stall bike and then the ABS stays off, so there is workaround, but I would prefer kill switch :)
I’m pretty sure if you keep the key on and use the kill switch, the ABS will stay off. I have one but I removed the ABS fuse so my ABS is off all the time haha
It's still the same issue with 2024, using kill switch reverts ABS to default (all-on mode), which sucks, so dropping clutch and stalling bike will be the only way even with "new" version to keep ABS settings if stopping for short periods of time.
@@peterlvbetter way to do it, might be to put it in first gear and put the sidestand out. I do that myself and after a while that goes quite naturally. Better than stalling I guess. But still a very annoying feature on many of this bikes. Shouldn’t be necessary.
I always say if you can’t pick the bike up in any situation it’s not the bike for you also it’s better if you can touch the floor I’m 5-6 so I’m limited on bikes ,but that bike is nice and practical and reliable,can that bike be lowered a couple of inches
In Europe, Yamaha makes a touring version (can't remember the name off the top of my head) but it is a lowered version. If Yamaha can't help you lower it, the aftermarket can.
How many button pushes, long, short, and rotary clicks to turn ABS off, save, and exit the menu? Assume bike is running, just spontaneously pulled over at the beginning of a beckoning track? I understand having it reset so people don't forget and ride around for weeks with it off. But [rhetorical question] what's wrong with making it easy [but deliberate] to turn off on the fly? Its very dangerous to find oneself on a steep, loose descent with no way to lock the wheels.
Two things... I think the owner would figure that type of stuff out pretty quickly. I fumbled over the controls in this video a bit, but it's not hard. Second, an owner would get used to putting things in off-road modes when off-road, and tapping that ABS on button when on-road. I'm not saying that it's a perfect solution, but it's not that difficult to switch between modes. To be fair, some bikes are much easier than others. So I do hear your point.
I wonder if the dash screen can be swapped with the far better looking round style from the XSR700? These ugly flat screens are the deal breaker for me.
I don't think that screen would be set up with the same parameters. I've heard of screens swapping when the information is the same on multiple bikes, but this one has ABS modes etc that wouldn't be on that bike.
I haven't heard! I'm interested in seeing that, and in seeing the European touring version of this bike. I'll have to dig around and see what people say. (To be fair, I haven't heard, but I also haven't asked)

This is a great dream bike!
I could not find one in stock back in late 2021 so I bought a Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES with a manual transmission.
I've been on the fence between the two for a while now. How are you liking the Africa Twin?
This one is mine, I can't wait to get my hands on it 👌🏾

Hahaha! Thanks for that comment. I needed that today!
Cool Yamaha bike review, thanks.

Fantastic review, appreciate how detailed it is. Thank you.
Thanks for taking the time to watch, I appreciate it!
Greetings,
As always another brilliant detailed video production 🇺🇲🍾🎉🇺🇲
Does it have cruise control?
It does not. Thanks for your kind words!
Nice video! Peter what's the price of this tenere in Canada?

Peter were you the guy on the Kia channel with Gabby??

Love it . I'm can't wait to get mine .

It's a top class dual sport bike.

Ten. Err. Eh.
Not a Canadian but I care and I have to ask the obvious question here... when is the World Raid coming!!!
I haven't heard! I'm interested in seeing that, and in seeing the European touring version of this bike. I'll have to dig around and see what people say. (To be fair, I haven't heard, but I also haven't asked)
I like this bick...but its too tall for me 😕...
It is a little tall, there is a touring/adventure model out now in Europe that will have a bit less suspension travel and be a bit more accessible.
Yamaha hates America so much we get ugly grey and boring blue and that’s it 😂
Haha!
