You gotta be on alert constantly, you can't afford to distract yourself for a sec and you're off ! The faster you go the higher the chances to crash, never know what's coming at you off road, Love it !
Dude, you were honkin'! Throwing that beast around like it was a toy. I could hear your breathing; you were working out. Brings me back to days I'll never see again. Nice work, very encouraging.
Doesn't matter when the brake lines are new in my opinion, however braided lines do have a definite advantage over old perished rubber hoses for sure. You can almost see them expand when the lever is squeezed hard.
Spot on video. Will wait comparison video on 790 and 700! Would be super cool and fun if you could make a lap time race on both these bikes. To see witch is faster on a single track!
Every Single Sunday hello could you give a comparo between the T7 and the 790, the pro and cons of both reliability concerning ktm, what is your favorite if you have one and why? 🍻 thank you
Your vids are excellent in terms of sound balance, camera work and commentary. And you really do give those ADVs a serious workout compared to most other reviewers.
@@EverySingleSunday Yup, that is me. Growing number of accessories now beyond the 12v inflators. GPS mounts for many applications, KTM 790 articulating mount, etc. Looking forward to my first ride on a Tenere 700. :-) Glad to see you tearing it up!
That T7 will fly! The tires really made a difference. Just watching, you can feel the grip, lol. What’s a nice round number for the cost of the upgrades you’ve made and plan to make? Have you found a work around for the abs? Thanks for letting us ride along. This T7 is growing on me! Ride safe.
BROOOO damn that was some nice riding. These vids are pushing me further down the rabbit hole. Currently riding an F800GS, I love it. buuuuut the T7 is growing on me with every video I watch. Ryan at Fortnine got the initial bug about swapping out my GS
The T700 and the 790/890 are definitely special bikes. I like the BMW for the touring aspect but it just isn’t as fun as the KTM/YAMAHA bikes are Make it happen
too loud for nature trails. All animals like eagles or mouflons that you might see with the standard pipe will run/fly away before you're close enough to see them
@@kloppskalli i lived in Montana for 20 years. Always had an aftermarket pipe. Why? I'd rather see a bear's ass running away than see its surprised face when i come around the bend. Different toots for different scoots, i guess. If you want to find wildlife and watch them, ride a horse or hike.
Nice job on the ride review for the T700 and the KTM 790. In the near future I will be moving down from a 1090 Adventure R to one of these two bikes so I appreciate the real world feedback!
I’m so in love with my 790 adv R however I really want to ride the T7. Next Month at Touratech DirtDaze in New Hampshire I hope to. Looking forward to your thoughts between the two. One thing I enjoy about Yamaha is how clean the engine sounds vs KTM or the worst a BMW. Haha Thanks for the Video!! D
Every Single Sunday 790 is hard to beat. I love riding single track while my friends think I’m nuts. I need to set up MX wheels. June 19th I started the NEBDR solo and finished in six days falling four times using Anakee Wilds, well five of you count falling over at an intersection. Haha If I had MX type tires it would made quick work of the miles and miles of mud and slime. Ya and a decat with Yoshi
mld comments like this are why I only buy KTM for 2 stroke. I had a 2000ish 640 LC4 which was alright until 8000 miles then developed an intermittent slapping sound. Might have been the valves. Sold it anyways.
My modded DR650 is also great off road now. Power and handling is great for the type of riding you are doing here. Problem is when I want to ride it like a sport bike on the street it's lack of power limits the fun. The T7's power off road is plenty and will be fine on road for most but the 20 + extra ponies of my 790 R and the electronics suite make riding it in anger quite exciting. I must admit I was an expert class road racer for many years and can push harder on pavement than the average rider though.
My 790R is Tuned and has a cat delete and muffler. The power it makes is absolutely awesome and kills the T7 on the road. Plus, the KTM sound is just stupid amazing

Hi everyone, I have the T 700 Teneré since July 31, 2019 and have covered 10,000 km, including 4,000 km off road. Never forget that you are on a motorcycle weighing more than 200 kg and in the event of a fall in technically difficult places and on a steep slope alone you can no longer raise the motorcycle. the T 700 is a heavy dual sport and its qualities are expressed on large tracks and long distances and long adventure trips. have a lot of fun with your motorcycles and see you soon
My 790 hit the ground five times yesterday and the 700 hit the ground three times yesterday We were both able to pick our own bikes up each time Just come down to the person riding it
@@EverySingleSunday in the example you just cited your friend come and help you so there are two of you. I have been doing long trips and motorcycle raid off road for many years and sometimes alone and I got through it, during small falls, but sometimes I was in great difficulty on certain terrains on steep slopes due to the weight of this type of motorcycle with luggage and tools ... These are very good motorcycles whether it is the T 700 Teneré or the 790 ADV R but on rock, large stones an enduro is much more suitable. I'm lucky to have a T 700 Tenéré and a 300 BETA X-TRAINER. I am not going to do long distance raid with the X-TRAINER as I am not going to get into difficulty alone with the T 700 Teneré on large scree. This is my analysis of the use of big dual sports. In the end everyone does what they want. Continue to have fun on each of your motorbikes. See you soon
Nice trail! Where are you riding? Travis, as much as I love the bikes and gear in your vids, I am also very much into building a solid library of interesting places to ride. Would be great to see you always list the location in your rides. Thx!
A great video and a great bike. I've been eyeing the t7 for quite some time now. Test drove the 790 but can't get to test the t7 (due to covid). If you had to choose one, which would it be? the 790 or the t7?
Ill have to add it all up. Tires and bars are the biggest thing the bike needs. Things like a the GPS are extra but not necessary to make her ride well
Seeing the speedo at 0 durring the intro I though yes, finally someone put a switch inline with the abs fuse. You want the abs to stay off when you turn it off, no fuse no abs
That bike does sound so good.Hope you take it to some of those big bear sections and let us know how it compares to the KTM. Judging from the video which I may be wrong but it looks like the Tenere bottoms out a lot more. On the first video you did some of those bumps looked like they hurt lol
Well, the 790 did the same thing when it was stock. Luckily, TBT Racing got the suspension in the 790 dialed in... They will be doing the same for the 700 soon Not sure when were heading back to big bear to try that mess again. That was a long hard day LOL
I have a question... if you remove the rear wheel abs sensor, does the front wheel abs work? Even when off road, I like to run the front wheel abs on, but obviously you want to rear off. Not sure how the yamaha setup works.
Regardless of power, how does the bike feel weight wise compared to the 790R. Does it feel more nimble and easier to throw around ? I know they both weigh more or less the same but I want to know about the “feel”. Thanks
Its a very different feel. 790 carry's they weight so much lower and feels slimmer. But the 700 engine is amazing off-road. Ill have a full review up soon
hey bud, my english is not thr best and you speak very fast for me. I like the solutiuon with the mirrors. Can you tell me wich mirrors and adapters you use? Are they only compatible with the handgardset?
Did you disable ABS lights holy glow orange Right side bottom near the disable button Have to reset ignition or at least stop to disengage This should help fix the rear break issue as abs disengages it and feels like it doesn’t work at all
I accidentally put the front wheel on backwards. ABS is disabled front and rear due that the entire video Brakes feel like crap on this bike due to rubber lines (and a bent break pedal)
If you wanted a snappier throttle, I wonder if something like the R6 throttle tube will work for this bike. I know it’s a pretty popular mod on the mt 07s
OK, you're getting this bike to a performance level on single track. Great. But will you then set it up for 'travel'... This is an 'adventure bike', invariably meaning finding the optimal compromise for on and off road, with likely +40lbs of kit. Your take on that would be helpful.
I'm not really into bike travel. I may cross that bridge down the road but it's not my main focus. I'm still in the small bike mind and throw them in my sprinter and drive to the trailhead for whatever reason. There's a lot of other guys using the bike for that and making videos about it. I'm weird
@@EverySingleSunday Sure Travis. I appreciate that from the general content, and great content it is. The important work you do should tell us where you can take the refinements this bike (...and at what cost) for the trailhead, so as the 'travel' rider can judge and find a balance. OK, that other perspective might not come wholly from yourself... but it would be good if you could eventually expand the discussion with someone who is credible. Indeed, there are some great contributors in Europe and Australia assisting the discussion, and now as you guys have the bike in the US I'm excited to see what'll appear... not least your suspension refinements.
it's impressive how well the T7 does, and it's very useful to know what mods can transform the bike into a genuine trail contender. I love the engine on these machines.
2 main things that seem to hamper the tenere as a true "adventure" bike is the amount of fuel it can carry and the fact that it doesn't have a bolt on sub-frame, if you put panniers and a lot of weight on the rear of it, and then subsequently bend the rear frame your SOL also the suspension seems to be the weak link, it's one thing to upgrade it for single track but the added weight of a true adventure set up is a different beast all together, I guess time will tell. Overall it looks like a great bike, I really like the black one, bad ass!
Best UA-cam channel, so glad you are making these videos! Between this and the KTM 790 , so far which one do you prefer ? Do you miss the offroad traction control , rbw and riding modes of the KTM when riding the Yamaha?
Thanks Philip. So far, still love my 790 but the 700 is getting better each ride. I don't like any of the aids on my 790 and usually run Rally mode in 1. If all the modes went away id be fine with it
Good call on the bars! That’s the first thing I notice on any adv bike I sit on...too tall! Looks great man, thanks for the video. I’m still on the fence of ordering one. I sure want one but...$$$
Put in a preorder on mine in February . They shipped out 400 in June but mine didn't come . I called Yamaha and they said over 2500 bikes were preordered and the next batch is due in mid August . Hope mine comes then but who knows . More time to make money for the mods . If you order one now it will probably come in October depending on the Plandemic .
Great video makes me dislike the stock tires on mine all the more. Just curious why no speed indication? Also I noticed when you were having trouble getting it to stop, you had forgotten to disengage the ABS it was back on. Got my first crash on my Tenere out of the way, rocky descent got me, beat the exhaust up pretty good, little damage to the tail section, and a really good contusion to my wrist. Took forever to find a tree limb long enough and strong enough to bend the exhaust back out so the swing arm could move.
E.S.S, if you wouldnt mind, I just got my 700 2 weeks ago. GREAT engine. Sold my Ktm 690 Enduro for it. Already deep into mods, stiffer rear spring, RallyZ tires, Camel Adv gut guard...etc. I've got the same Cycras but can't clear that front brake reservoir. What kind of adaptor did you use to bring that hand guard out? Thanks man.
The adapter / extensions I used for some parts laying around at Rottweiler performance. I'm not sure what brand the parts were, they literally just came out of a bin I know there are companies out there that make something like that that fold them onto the handlebar clamp and move them out a bit
Love it!! Say - What did you do to keep TC turned off - I saw you turn it off in the beginning then - it just stays off? What did you find out? It does Sound Awesome! I like the Sound of the KTM too..
Great job, mate! That is now a capable and solid off roader, with the fairly easy mods you have done, which is impressive bearing in mind it's original design ADV compromise for street and trail. I think the braided brake lines are a good idea, and will make another noticeable difference. Are you still intending to beef that front suspension some?
Ya, it was a whole new bike. While the suspension is much better I still want more from it. I will be sending it to TBT to get valved and respeung soon. I want to see what these stock forks and shock can do before moving to SSS Suspension
Was waiting for this video after your last 790 vid. I also did my t700 suspension all in then +2 clicks out. Was great for me too byt will add springs in the future to front and back. If you could compare cost for the 790 vs 700 after upgrades. Its obvious the 700 has some room for improvement, but i'm wondering how there machines compare once few short comings are attended to. Such as once done T700 cost $13k with say upgrades, and 790 say $15K watch machine would you turn to and for what reasons is price had some weight. Would be a great topic once you got them fairly well sorted. Thanks!
Whoops are Hell on any ADV bike. The T7 does alright though! My 300 XC would not be so great on the highway - LOL Current goal is to keep my Super Tenere for long distance touring, get a T7 for day rides and exploring, and keep my 300 XC for my dirt bike needs. Sounds perfect... I see your KTM 2T at the end of the video. Looks like great minds think rather alike perhaps :)
A 300 is the best bike ever built. I'm enjoying playing around with the bigger bikes as well these days. I have my KTM 790 dialed in pretty well. It can't charge whoops, but it's is pretty amazing
@@EverySingleSunday 300s are awesome indeed. I have an '18 XC with a Lectron and an S3 head on it. Love that bike - counterbalanced smooth goodness, an e-start that actually works (which is key in the precarious situations shown in your 300 in gnarly terrain videos - LOL), grunts down low and rips on top. Had a '13 300 before, the '18 is much better as I can rev in the open bits without my hands going numb. . Your 790 sounds fantastic. These "mid size" ADV bikes are Goldilocks machines in my opinion. Beefy enough to travel on the open road, but manageable enough to go off road where monster ADV bikes would not dare to unless they are borrowed and ridden by a pro who does not care about all the stuff that is gonna break when they are ridden like that. These mid size ADVs are great bikes for Colorado where I live, as we have tons of forest service roads (some quite rocky and rough, needing a lifted bigger tire equipped 4x4 to traverse) everywhere to explore.
Love all of your mods, except for the low handle bar stance. You got me wanting one of these bikes, really bad. Question, do they make a tubeless liner for the rims on this bike?
Stock bars are way too high if you plan on riding the bike aggressively. if you just want to stand up on the freeway then I guess they are fine not sure about setting up the stock wheels tubeless. They are too wide for off-road use so I plan on replacing them
well to be honest ,, it makes it look hard work ..... you seem to have to spend heaps on a bike to make it work ,, ill keep riding my 2011 ktm 250exc 2 banger .... lol thanks for sharing ,cheers steve from Australia
What an awesome setup! Makes me wanna switch from my 1190 ADV R. How do you keep that $$$$ Akrapovic exhaust protected, I'd hate to drop that bike on the right hand side :)
Ya, the T7 has a low style "Rally" exhaust on it from the factory. The bike is still new and hasn't hit the ground yet My 790 is much better on that it is tucked up high and not so exposed. But... Guess we'll see what happens :)
I really disagree about disabling emission control systems which allowed bikes like this to reach our market. . Yamaha already did a great job with the execution of this bike, so it should be kept stock in this regard and I wouldn't advocate for others to disable this. Keep it legal.
Every Single Sunday At the shop I work at we build a lot of fz/mt07 track bikes and we have always had great luck with FT ECU flashes. They did just release a cash for the T7
@@EverySingleSunday I had good success with a tune from 2WheelDynoWorks on my XSR700 (same mill). I decatted and added an Akro clone, then had them tune to those mods. The results were more power everywhere and smoother fueling down under 2k. Much easier to get wheel up on throttle. They reflash for free when you add mods also. Im about to sell the XSR700 to get either a 790R or a T700..so Im (we) watching you closely bud! Thanks for the vids
I might have missed it but what bar bend are you running? I agree that factory bars are too high but also don’t want interference with tank and fairing. Also, what size is that rear 908rr? I used to run the 908rr on my 950Super Enduro. Great tire. Enjoyed the video 🤙🏼
Do you think it’s possible to get Yamaha T7 fully decked out for trail adventures for the same price a bare bone 790adv R? Is a $3k budget for mods enough to get the T7 where you want it to be?
The bike is amazing right out of the box. The stuff I added were things that made it feel more like what I wanted it to. You can take this biek off the showroom floor and go ride it without any changes. Things like tires, suspension, bars, etc... Those are things I have done to my 790 as well to fit me
I grew up riding dirt bikes and have been street riding for many years now, just sold my street bike and making the switch to an adventure bike. I am down the the KTM 790R or the T700 in your opinion what is the better bike for me? I will probably be riding 60% dirt most of the stuff in my area are two track but there is some single track. I am 6’4” and weight 220lbs.
speedometer isn't working right? Fuel gauge, gear indicator, tachometer all working. Is there something wrong with it or was it just not connected after the tire change?
Love that 0 on the speedo 😁 Speedometer deconcentrate me off road.. i start remembering at what speed i was going trough some bends on the track and stop driving by feeling only.. i mean who needs that shit on a dirt bike
Howdy there, I've been so excited about this bike coming to the states for a long time; however, I am definitely concerned about the seat height, as I am pretty short (5'5"ish). I haven't found a T7 in stock in town so far so haven't been able to actually sit one just yet. The Tenere 700 is definitely on the taller side in the adventure market. What are your thoughts on the seat height feel, as I know it is a pretty narrow bike and so it may not be as bad as if if was a more traditional adventure bike. I am currently riding a TW200 with is pretty low as far as seat height is concerned, and I also have an 1973 rd350, which has a super low seat height... I am needing my next bike to be more of an adventurer, and I would prefer to stay in the Yamaha fam. Thanks for the videos!
@@MrAlexMoto Word, thank you ... I see with a lower seat and lowering link, you can get it down about an inch or so. I'm still concerned with it being about 150lbs heavier than what I am used to, as well as taller. I guess I just need to figure out how to ride one before I make any decisions.
Great, fun video. You can't find a better adventure bike for $10K. It doesn't have the ground clearance of the 790 but I never heard your bash plate hit, did it?
Crimeny Man that T700 is not your 300. Bet there was a lotta smiles at the end. What a handler with the mods considering what it is. Still considering one but even more now. Rider helps a bunch so there is that mod too consider. You should strap some luggage on her and then giver her a rip through that terrain for a real deep review. Good Yammi went with the MT07 and not the MT09 as it would be too much.
I got a Dunlop 908 rr for my KTM solely based on your opinion of them. Have you ridden them on the road at all? They are goin to be my off-road biased tire, but I’m curious.
Ya, they aren't bad at all. The front wanders a bit on the highway but it works just fine. I wouldn't plan any long trips around them but Ive commuted on them quite a bit
@@EverySingleSunday cool, good to know. i have a Motoz Desert H/T rear right now, and i cant imagine it's any worse than that. I'm going to use them for a long trip 90% offroad, with little highway jaunts in between. sounds like it will work just fine
@@EverySingleSunday Please be sure to distinquish between single track preference and fire roads. In the event you have a different opinion for each. THX Great video!!
In the beginning was feeling the same... But if youll ride a lot it gets boring, you feel more confident and riding aggrrsively is getting more satisfying with time. Its also bike thing, some bikes just cant be ridden calmly (old lc8 adv :D)
Well, for me there are times when I get out in nature to get away from it all. Then there are times when I want to experience the thrill of the ride. They are two different things! I enjoy both, but at different times! When I ride on the trails, it's not about getting away from anything as much as going toward something! Adventure and adrenaline rush!
You make me wanna ride right now!
Let’s go!!!!!
You gotta be on alert constantly, you can't afford to distract yourself for a sec and you're off ! The faster you go the higher the chances to crash, never know what's coming at you off road, Love it !

Note to manufacturers, braided lines only! Especially if you are going to use Brembos.
100% yes
Doesn't matter when the brake lines are new in my opinion, however braided lines do have a definite advantage over old perished rubber hoses for sure. You can almost see them expand when the lever is squeezed hard.

@@MtnPeakEnduro I agree, the front of the 700 looks amazing
Great way to disable ABS - reverse mount the wheel! I will be following this build and your impressions closely; particularly relative to the 790.

A 270 degree parallel twin sounds great, better traction than a 180 degree too due to the closely spaced firing pulses.

Well said! Each adventure is different. Some days I like to keep it local when Im testing new stuff
Interesting. The US bikes seem to have a different red..a little bit more burgundy. The european ones are bright red.

Not sure which I would prefer

I have been doing long trips and motorcycle raid off road for many years and sometimes alone and I got through it, during small falls, but sometimes I was in great difficulty on certain terrains on steep slopes due to the weight of this type of motorcycle with luggage and tools ...

I am not going to do long distance raid with the X-TRAINER as I am not going to get into difficulty alone with the T 700 Teneré on large scree. This is my analysis of the use of big dual sports. In the end everyone does what they want.
Continue to have fun on each of your motorbikes.
See you soon
Alright,...you did it again,damn it! Posted another great video! Use and love those Rott-CRC mirrors. Yamaha looks alot less tame now, too👍
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it. Yes, the bike really woke up a ton with a few small mods
Nice trail! Where are you riding? Travis, as much as I love the bikes and gear in your vids, I am also very much into building a solid library of interesting places to ride. Would be great to see you always list the location in your rides. Thx!
This is Kennedy Meadows, CA. Just about Kernville CA
You're a braver guy than me taking a big bike thru there 😀
The most tight and log cluttered trail I’ve ever seen!
This one is nice and flows compared to what I normally ride. so much fun on a bike like this
Badass!!! Loving the T7! 😎👍🏼👍🏼
Can’t wait to ride this bike!!!
I'll get it ready for you ,
A great video and a great bike. I've been eyeing the t7 for quite some time now. Test drove the 790 but can't get to test the t7 (due to covid). If you had to choose one, which would it be? the 790 or the t7?
Not really sure yet... Still don't know the T7 well enough
Would be cool to get total cost of add ons and bike. Prob still waaaay cheaper than AT, Tiger 900 etc..
Ill have to add it all up. Tires and bars are the biggest thing the bike needs. Things like a the GPS are extra but not necessary to make her ride well
Seeing the speedo at 0 durring the intro I though yes, finally someone put a switch inline with the abs fuse. You want the abs to stay off when you turn it off, no fuse no abs
I just put the wheel on backwards in accident 😆
That bike does sound so good.Hope you take it to some of those big bear sections and let us know how it compares to the KTM. Judging from the video which I may be wrong but it looks like the Tenere bottoms out a lot more. On the first video you did some of those bumps looked like they hurt lol
Well, the 790 did the same thing when it was stock. Luckily, TBT Racing got the suspension in the 790 dialed in... They will be doing the same for the 700 soon
Not sure when were heading back to big bear to try that mess again. That was a long hard day LOL
I have a question... if you remove the rear wheel abs sensor, does the front wheel abs work?
Even when off road, I like to run the front wheel abs on, but obviously you want to rear off. Not sure how the yamaha setup works.
No, they need to see each other's speed for the ABS to work
Regardless of power, how does the bike feel weight wise compared to the 790R. Does it feel more nimble and easier to throw around ? I know they both weigh more or less the same but I want to know about the “feel”. Thanks
Its a very different feel. 790 carry's they weight so much lower and feels slimmer. But the 700 engine is amazing off-road. Ill have a full review up soon
hey bud, my english is not thr best and you speak very fast for me. I like the solutiuon with the mirrors. Can you tell me wich mirrors and adapters you use? Are they only compatible with the handgardset?
They are CRG Arrow Morris on brackets from Rottweiler Performace.
They can be fitted to most wrap around hang guards
Nice video !
I’m gonna need this machine for some on and off-road adventures 👍
Go for it! BUY ONE
What trail tech do you use ?
Great video to 😀
I use and love the Voyager Pro
Did you disable ABS lights holy glow orange Right side bottom near the disable button
Have to reset ignition or at least stop to disengage
This should help fix the rear break issue as abs disengages it and feels like it doesn’t work at all
I accidentally put the front wheel on backwards. ABS is disabled front and rear due that the entire video
Brakes feel like crap on this bike due to rubber lines (and a bent break pedal)
You had me flinching ezch time you went between the chopped downed logs, such tiny gaps! :D hahaha
Nicely done :-)
Ya, there were a couple that got a bit tight. I actually clipped one pretty hard earlier in the day on my 300.
@@EverySingleSunday Oof, I lost my gear linkage on a log on my Triumph Street Triple, they are very unforgiving haha, hope you weren't thrown off?
Not this time. But I smashed my foot last month in Idaho hard enough to brusie my foot (Sidi MX Boots) and throw me over the bars. That one hurt
@@EverySingleSunday ouch, these offroad boots are tough so that must have been quite a wallop
If you wanted a snappier throttle, I wonder if something like the R6 throttle tube will work for this bike. I know it’s a pretty popular mod on the mt 07s
My buddy was mentioning that. I plan on looking into it for sure. Tis video was also shot at almost 9,000 feet so it was feeling a bit down on power.
Well done. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Greg. It was fun putting this one together
Great video. Hey Mikey, it's time to start modifying your Tenere!
Tell him to tear it down and build it up!!!!
OK, you're getting this bike to a performance level on single track. Great. But will you then set it up for 'travel'... This is an 'adventure bike', invariably meaning finding the optimal compromise for on and off road, with likely +40lbs of kit. Your take on that would be helpful.
I'm not really into bike travel. I may cross that bridge down the road but it's not my main focus. I'm still in the small bike mind and throw them in my sprinter and drive to the trailhead for whatever reason.
There's a lot of other guys using the bike for that and making videos about it.
I'm weird
@@EverySingleSunday Sure Travis. I appreciate that from the general content, and great content it is. The important work you do should tell us where you can take the refinements this bike (...and at what cost) for the trailhead, so as the 'travel' rider can judge and find a balance. OK, that other perspective might not come wholly from yourself... but it would be good if you could eventually expand the discussion with someone who is credible. Indeed, there are some great contributors in Europe and Australia assisting the discussion, and now as you guys have the bike in the US I'm excited to see what'll appear... not least your suspension refinements.
it's impressive how well the T7 does, and it's very useful to know what mods can transform the bike into a genuine trail contender. I love the engine on these machines.
I'll definitely brake that into consideration and see what I can do
Thanks
2 main things that seem to hamper the tenere as a true "adventure" bike is the amount of fuel it can carry and the fact that it doesn't have a bolt on sub-frame, if you put panniers and a lot of weight on the rear of it, and then subsequently bend the rear frame your SOL also the suspension seems to be the weak link, it's one thing to upgrade it for single track but the added weight of a true adventure set up is a different beast all together, I guess time will tell. Overall it looks like a great bike, I really like the black one, bad ass!
The 700 seems to do very well off road some duel sports not so well to Soft and Heavyweight
It works great for this stuff. A bike you can do it all, on
Nice
Nice bike dude. 👍
Thanks man. It's pretty rad
which extender did you get for the handle bars I have those bars and switching to those hand guards from barkbusters
I’m not sure where they came from. They were in a box of random leftovers at Rottweiler Performace
I wish I knew what they were from
Nice bike! Did you drill holes in the handlebar for the controls to fit? Thanks
No. I broke those tabs off and just clamped them down like a normal bike
@@EverySingleSunday yeah much easier solution, thanks!
Best UA-cam channel, so glad you are making these videos! Between this and the KTM 790 , so far which one do you prefer ? Do you miss the offroad traction control , rbw and riding modes of the KTM when riding the Yamaha?
Thanks Philip. So far, still love my 790 but the 700 is getting better each ride. I don't like any of the aids on my 790 and usually run Rally mode in 1. If all the modes went away id be fine with it
Good call on the bars! That’s the first thing I notice on any adv bike I sit on...too tall! Looks great man, thanks for the video. I’m still on the fence of ordering one. I sure want one but...$$$
It made a huge difference dropping them down a bit. Im really enjoying these bikes, so different than my every day stuff with the 300s
Put in a preorder on mine in February . They shipped out 400 in June but mine didn't come . I called Yamaha and they said over 2500 bikes were preordered and the next batch is due in mid August . Hope mine comes then but who knows . More time to make money for the mods . If you order one now it will probably come in October depending on the Plandemic .
Nice, Sounds like a Vtwin.
270 degree firing order👍
It's a parallel twin... But she sure does rip
Great video makes me dislike the stock tires on mine all the more. Just curious why no speed indication? Also I noticed when you were having trouble getting it to stop, you had forgotten to disengage the ABS it was back on.
Got my first crash on my Tenere out of the way, rocky descent got me, beat the exhaust up pretty good, little damage to the tail section, and a really good contusion to my wrist. Took forever to find a tree limb long enough and strong enough to bend the exhaust back out so the swing arm could move.
I put the front wheel on backwards... so no speed and the ABS was disabled te whole time. Easy fix
Crashing is part of the game. Glad to hear you're okay and the bike didn't get beat up too bad
E.S.S, if you wouldnt mind, I just got my 700 2 weeks ago. GREAT engine. Sold my Ktm 690 Enduro for it. Already deep into mods, stiffer rear spring, RallyZ tires, Camel Adv gut guard...etc. I've got the same Cycras but can't clear that front brake reservoir. What kind of adaptor did you use to bring that hand guard out? Thanks man.
The adapter / extensions I used for some parts laying around at Rottweiler performance. I'm not sure what brand the parts were, they literally just came out of a bin
I know there are companies out there that make something like that that fold them onto the handlebar clamp and move them out a bit
Where is this trail? Looks fun. Great video
Kennedy Meadows, California
Love it!! Say - What did you do to keep TC turned off - I saw you turn it off in the beginning then - it just stays off? What did you find out? It does Sound Awesome! I like the Sound of the KTM too..
I had the front wheel on backwards. So the ABS ring didn't contact the magnet. so it stayed off the whole time... but no speedo either
Great job, mate! That is now a capable and solid off roader, with the fairly easy mods you have done, which is impressive bearing in mind it's original design ADV compromise for street and trail. I think the braided brake lines are a good idea, and will make another noticeable difference. Are you still intending to beef that front suspension some?
Ya, it was a whole new bike. While the suspension is much better I still want more from it. I will be sending it to TBT to get valved and respeung soon. I want to see what these stock forks and shock can do before moving to SSS Suspension
Was waiting for this video after your last 790 vid. I also did my t700 suspension all in then +2 clicks out. Was great for me too byt will add springs in the future to front and back. If you could compare cost for the 790 vs 700 after upgrades. Its obvious the 700 has some room for improvement, but i'm wondering how there machines compare once few short comings are attended to. Such as once done T700 cost $13k with say upgrades, and 790 say $15K watch machine would you turn to and for what reasons is price had some weight. Would be a great topic once you got them fairly well sorted. Thanks!
I like the idea. Ill do my best to keep tabs on everything and see where it all falls.
Whoops are Hell on any ADV bike. The T7 does alright though! My 300 XC would not be so great on the highway - LOL
Current goal is to keep my Super Tenere for long distance touring, get a T7 for day rides and exploring, and keep my 300 XC for my dirt bike needs. Sounds perfect... I see your KTM 2T at the end of the video. Looks like great minds think rather alike perhaps :)
A 300 is the best bike ever built. I'm enjoying playing around with the bigger bikes as well these days. I have my KTM 790 dialed in pretty well. It can't charge whoops, but it's is pretty amazing
@@EverySingleSunday 300s are awesome indeed. I have an '18 XC with a Lectron and an S3 head on it. Love that bike - counterbalanced smooth goodness, an e-start that actually works (which is key in the precarious situations shown in your 300 in gnarly terrain videos - LOL), grunts down low and rips on top. Had a '13 300 before, the '18 is much better as I can rev in the open bits without my hands going numb.
.
Your 790 sounds fantastic. These "mid size" ADV bikes are Goldilocks machines in my opinion. Beefy enough to travel on the open road, but manageable enough to go off road where monster ADV bikes would not dare to unless they are borrowed and ridden by a pro who does not care about all the stuff that is gonna break when they are ridden like that. These mid size ADVs are great bikes for Colorado where I live, as we have tons of forest service roads (some quite rocky and rough, needing a lifted bigger tire equipped 4x4 to traverse) everywhere to explore.
You nailed it !
Love all of your mods, except for the low handle bar stance. You got me wanting one of these bikes, really bad. Question, do they make a tubeless liner for the rims on this bike?
Stock bars are way too high if you plan on riding the bike aggressively. if you just want to stand up on the freeway then I guess they are fine
not sure about setting up the stock wheels tubeless. They are too wide for off-road use so I plan on replacing them
If you haven't ridden one... You can't imagine how high the bats are, it's CRAZY
well to be honest ,, it makes it look hard work ..... you seem to have to spend heaps on a bike to make it work ,, ill keep riding my 2011 ktm 250exc 2 banger .... lol thanks for sharing ,cheers steve from Australia
Spending heaps?
Tires, bars, pegs?
This is something I change on any bike I buy.
Looks like Kennedy Meadows, good stuff!
Only real place to go ride some good Singletrack in SoCal :)
What an awesome setup! Makes me wanna switch from my 1190 ADV R. How do you keep that $$$$ Akrapovic exhaust protected, I'd hate to drop that bike on the right hand side :)
Ya, the T7 has a low style "Rally" exhaust on it from the factory. The bike is still new and hasn't hit the ground yet
My 790 is much better on that it is tucked up high and not so exposed.
But... Guess we'll see what happens :)
Imo lower mounted.can is way better... If you fall on right side youre can will hit ground no matter how.high.itd mounted and lower mount = lower cog
Once you get the decat you should really look into an ecu flash!
I definitely plan on doing one. Just not sure which one yet
I really disagree about disabling emission control systems which allowed bikes like this to reach our market. . Yamaha already did a great job with the execution of this bike, so it should be kept stock in this regard and I wouldn't advocate for others to disable this.
Keep it legal.
@@derekinbritishcolumbia1449 well, you do what you want and I'll do what I want. And I want more power
Every Single Sunday At the shop I work at we build a lot of fz/mt07 track bikes and we have always had great luck with FT ECU flashes. They did just release a cash for the T7
@@EverySingleSunday I had good success with a tune from 2WheelDynoWorks on my XSR700 (same mill). I decatted and added an Akro clone, then had them tune to those mods. The results were more power everywhere and smoother fueling down under 2k. Much easier to get wheel up on throttle. They reflash for free when you add mods also. Im about to sell the XSR700 to get either a 790R or a T700..so Im (we) watching you closely bud! Thanks for the vids
I might have missed it but what bar bend are you running? I agree that factory bars are too high but also don’t want interference with tank and fairing. Also, what size is that rear 908rr? I used to run the 908rr on my 950Super Enduro. Great tire. Enjoyed the video 🤙🏼
ProTaper "Steering Damper Low"
No interference at all.... But it's close
I'm running a 140/80 in the back.
Not the best for the stock wheel, but works fine. Would prefer the shape on a 2.5" wheel
Do you think it’s possible to get Yamaha T7 fully decked out for trail adventures for the same price a bare bone 790adv R? Is a $3k budget for mods enough to get the T7 where you want it to be?
The bike is amazing right out of the box. The stuff I added were things that made it feel more like what I wanted it to. You can take this biek off the showroom floor and go ride it without any changes.
Things like tires, suspension, bars, etc... Those are things I have done to my 790 as well to fit me
Every Single Sunday that’s really great to know, thanks!
Nice bike, mods, riding area, footage and great riding skills to boot. Did you disconnect the speedometer? Mirrors look pretty trick.
I accidentally put the front wheel on backwards this day. It's fixed now
Bars too high? Don't hear that much on most bikes. 👍 Good video. You should time a lap on the Ténéré vs 790R on same course. 😂
Yep, crazy high. On a steep hill you can hardly hold on because they throw you back so far
Great video! Thank you. Did you have to remap the ECU at all for the muffler?
He will do it for sure once header pipes are changed and they got rid of catalytic converter.....No point doing it before...
Exactly what Istra is saying. It doesn't need it for a slip in but we plan I. Doing it once we get the complete system.
I grew up riding dirt bikes and have been street riding for many years now, just sold my street bike and making the switch to an adventure bike. I am down the the KTM 790R or the T700 in your opinion what is the better bike for me? I will probably be riding 60% dirt most of the stuff in my area are two track but there is some single track. I am 6’4” and weight 220lbs.
T7 for slow stuff, 790 for Faster stuff
I'll have a full comparison video up in the next couple weeks
speedometer isn't working right? Fuel gauge, gear indicator, tachometer all working. Is there something wrong with it or was it just not connected after the tire change?
I put the front wheel in backwards on accident.
Love that 0 on the speedo 😁
Speedometer deconcentrate me off road.. i start remembering at what speed i was going trough some bends on the track and stop driving by feeling only.. i mean who needs that shit on a dirt bike
I accidentally put the front wheel on backwards the night before. Didn't have the urge to fix it that day
Travis, we’re hearing about the dash bobble. Is that really an issue? Thoughts?
It's annoying
And the headlights bobble along with it.
I really liked having the Camel brace on mine.
Howdy there,
I've been so excited about this bike coming to the states for a long time; however, I am definitely concerned about the seat height, as I am pretty short (5'5"ish). I haven't found a T7 in stock in town so far so haven't been able to actually sit one just yet. The Tenere 700 is definitely on the taller side in the adventure market.
What are your thoughts on the seat height feel, as I know it is a pretty narrow bike and so it may not be as bad as if if was a more traditional adventure bike. I am currently riding a TW200 with is pretty low as far as seat height is concerned, and I also have an 1973 rd350, which has a super low seat height... I am needing my next bike to be more of an adventurer, and I would prefer to stay in the Yamaha fam. Thanks for the videos!
The 790 is taller. You can lower T7.
@@MrAlexMoto Word, thank you ... I see with a lower seat and lowering link, you can get it down about an inch or so. I'm still concerned with it being about 150lbs heavier than what I am used to, as well as taller.
I guess I just need to figure out how to ride one before I make any decisions.
Definitely going to feel a bit tall if you're 5'5.... But you can make it work.
Like you said above, seat and some boots and you'll be fine
Yourll be fine regardless of height. I was flat footed for years find it much easier on tip toes. Get a test ride booked 👍🏻
Nice mods !! Can you please write the pro tapper model you installed ? or he exact bend ? Thanks
www.bikebandit.com/aftermarket-parts/control-brakes/handlebars/pro-taper-evo-handlebars/p/13978
"steering damper low" is the bend that works great
Awesome bike and awesome video! Now would you rather have ridden that bike over the 790 at the big bear event?
At this point, still the 790. The T7 is good but I don't know it well enough yet. Hopefully over the next few weeks I can make a better assessment
Every Single Sunday That’s really important as well off course. Do they feel similar in terms of handling?
I need to ride them back to back still. There is definitely a different feel but a lot of that is in brakes and controls
Great, fun video. You can't find a better adventure bike for $10K. It doesn't have the ground clearance of the 790 but I never heard your bash plate hit, did it?
More than enough ground clearance for what most people will be using it for. I did hit a few rocks that day but would have done the same on any bike
I’m leaning towards the 700. Hmmm.
Solid bike at a solid price
Crimeny Man that T700 is not your 300. Bet there was a lotta smiles at the end. What a handler with the mods considering what it is. Still considering one but even more now. Rider helps a bunch so there is that mod too consider. You should strap some luggage on her and then giver her a rip through that terrain for a real deep review. Good Yammi went with the MT07 and not the MT09 as it would be too much.
If it was the 300, we would be off trail jumping logs and rocks :)
This bike is amazing
When will more be available in the states? I am in NC and not getting much info from my local dealer?
I wish IO had an answer for that. I bought this one used with 127 miles on it and the one I ordered still hasn't shown up yet
@@EverySingleSunday ok thanks for the reply! I will just get a used KTM 1190 to tie me over :-)

Does that plastic skid plate protect it well enough?
AXP is the best I have found. And they slide over rocks like no other as well. They don’t disappoint or rattle or stock to rocks.
AXP or Nothing 🤘
@@EverySingleSunday ok thanks for the reply. I will order one for sure.
@@luckycharms8383 you won’t be disappointed.
@every single sunday is the AXP plate aluminium?
No, it's a super strong plastic. I'm not a fan of aluminum skid plates
Not sure if I’ve missed it somewhere but do you have a list of the mods done to this bike?
I talked about them all at the start of the video
Are pipes all the way to the engine Akrapović or just the top part?
Just the car back. Akra has a header as well
I got a Dunlop 908 rr for my KTM solely based on your opinion of them. Have you ridden them on the road at all? They are goin to be my off-road biased tire, but I’m curious.
Ya, they aren't bad at all. The front wanders a bit on the highway but it works just fine. I wouldn't plan any long trips around them but Ive commuted on them quite a bit
@@EverySingleSunday cool, good to know. i have a Motoz Desert H/T rear right now, and i cant imagine it's any worse than that. I'm going to use them for a long trip 90% offroad, with little highway jaunts in between. sounds like it will work just fine
You may have already answered, why did you switch? If smaller lighter, why not the 690?
probably got sick of fixing them all the time
Because I like twins and nobody rides them offroad.
Engine sounds great. 270 crank?
Im not too sure, but it does sound amazing
Which is the better bike t7 or ktm 790.
We'll be doing a full review and Comparison once I get to know the T7 better
Not trying to jump the gun
I don't think either bike will disappoint. These modern machines are pretty amazing.
Which bike do you prefer for single track, your 790 or the Ten?
Still need more time to dial in the T700 to give it a fair assessment.
I'll be doing a review video soon
@@EverySingleSunday Please be sure to distinquish between single track preference and fire roads. In the event you have a different opinion for each. THX Great video!!
Did you do any ecu mods with the new exhaust?
Not yet, but I plan on it in the future

The GPS I run is a Trail Tech Voyager pro. I got mine from bikebandit.com but you can also pick them up all over the place

Where are you riding? I wish to ride on this trail...
Kennedy Meadows, CA
HAVE FUN 🤘
I’ve never understood the desire to go out in nature to get away from it all, only to pass through it as fast as possible.
Well, if you try and do it in the city you'll probably run into a person or a car.
Getting away is the best
Not an Einstein fan aye?
The faster you're moving the slower time moves, special relativity
In the beginning was feeling the same... But if youll ride a lot it gets boring, you feel more confident and riding aggrrsively is getting more satisfying with time. Its also bike thing, some bikes just cant be ridden calmly (old lc8 adv :D)
Well, for me there are times when I get out in nature to get away from it all. Then there are times when I want to experience the thrill of the ride. They are two different things! I enjoy both, but at different times! When I ride on the trails, it's not about getting away from anything as much as going toward something! Adventure and adrenaline rush!
How’d ya like the 908RR?
It's really good for a Rally tire. But it doesn't compare to a knobby in slow loose dirt.
link for handle bars is 404. could you update or let me know part number?
ProTaper EVO "steering damper low" is what you want
@@EverySingleSunday thanks!
what hand guards you running ?
They are Cycra Pro bend. But I got an adapter from Rottweiler Performance that moved it out a bit
