Thank you for an amazing video, like always. I´m a big fan of your work. Would you mind sharing what type of microphone you use for your videos? Both in your helmet and while you do videos like this one where you have it clipped under your neck. Thanks in advance!
@@JZadeika Rode Wireless Go 2, and purple panda in helmet
@@BigRockMoto Thank you very much!
Hey Ian, would you be able to go over the difference in the Highland X2 bag options? I think you may have touched on it around the mid 6 minute mark. I haven't seen much information or pictures/videos comparing the small or medium options.
I just bought a Tuareg that I won't be picking up until the end of winter.
Ian, I (we) honestly don’t care which money have you used to buy stuff, nor does it matter if you make money from advertising or some other way, it is totally up to you, no need to explain this everytime. You make great and useful content, so please continue. I will be watching regardless any of this. 👍🏻
Thank you.
I agree with the sentiment, but I believe they are required to disclose if they are connected to a product they are promoting.
He does seem to have many many many bikes. He’s a lucky man
Man, this guy is the gold standard for motorcycle reviews. very objective, insightful, and fair.
If you read the manual on those yamaha grips you will find that they have more power settings beyond the three lights there is a high and low range. the manual spells out the button pressing sequence to bump them up into high range for colder weather. I am Canadian and I find them warm enough near freezing temperatures.
Love your honest approach. You’re my go-to-guy for recommendations regarding adventure motorcycles.
Keep the good stuff coming!
Half the fun of owning an ADV is kitting it out for proper adventure!
Love the setup you're running here, definitely gotta step my game up on my Versys-X 300 and get some heated grips.
I am picking up the Tusk system soon, and will go with Medium on the top bag for the space. I am also considering the Adventure Spec luggage racks, as they are lighter and work well with a system like Tusk to keep the bags off the plastics. As always, thanks for sharing.
I think you didn't mention that your skid plate has the optional linkage guard too. It's something worth knowing as a lot of T7 owners are worried about the linkage being too exposed.
Thanks for sharing! That X2 package is just what I was looking for
I agree on the tires. i was one of the first to get a dual venture and I combined that with a rallz rear on my 500exc adv build. Now on my 1090, which I do take on some long trips with 14 hour days, I have settled on the Motoz adventure rear with a Dunlop trailmax mission front.
Hey you’ve got snow on the ground there, you must be at higher elevation than I thought! Great gear, great comprehensive review. I agree the Tusk products are great value if you’re on a budget.
Thank you for your content. I have watched almost all your videos and I can relate to how you explain and how you film. So helpful and informative
Thank you Ian, this is a gem! Very helpful indeed.
Honest, Simple and a great Guy Ian
So thankful for the in depth options and walking through the utilities. I've seen your hard bag vs. soft bag so this was a plus. As a cruiser rider that loves to hike and camp - ADV is calling strongly and the T7 fits the budget but couldn't wrap my head around outfitting it as a pragmatist. Nice summary! P.S. Although this endorsement was for TUSK products, what are your thoughts on Outback Motortek products for the T7?
I like that rear luggage set-up. I take it you've seen the forthcoming T7 special with the twin tanks and lower c of g.
Great vid... for the heated grips, they have I think 3 power draw settings that allows for multiple bike installs (smaller cc to larger). Are you sure it's at the highest power setting, I've heard lots of times they are installed, and still at the lowest power draw setting.
Brian
Thanks for the video, Ian. I mounted your recommended MotoZ tires just before riding the Smokey Mountains 500 three weeks ago. I was riding with a larger group, but hanging closely with a buddy riding his fairly new R1250GS. The ride contained some challenging rock gardens and miles of dirt roads that have not been maintained in years with miles of washouts. He was riding a 50/50 tire. These tires allowed me to keep pace with him. I feel that these tires equaled his traction control and rider aids. I'm thrilled with the tires.
For luggage, I went with Giant Loop Coyote and Tillamook, and mounted them directly with no protection. This did a decent amount of damage to the plastics on both sides of the seats. Did you do anything to protect your plastics, or are you just going to live with the wear? I'm thinking repair the paint, and wrap it with 3M vinyl or install AdventureSpec top rack and luggage guard. Thoughts?
Thanks so much for the thorough reviews on this bike helped me make up my mind and I was able to get one today, paid over MSRP but I got one! Now it's time to shop for the extra bits. Question, in all of your experience, if you had to pick only one option would you pick the rackless luggage or the mount and soft panniers? Thanks!
Another great video…..I’ve been looking at the Olympus bags and racks…..my concern is the outer bag isn’t waterproof you must use the inner dry bags to keep things dry…have you ever noticed any water or moisture inside the bags?….thanks
I installed the Rally Seat and took the bike out for a 3 hour ride yesterday. I'm 5' 11" and I had no issue with seat height, I felt fine with having the ability to dab my feet. The Rally Seat is 100% more comfortable than the stock seat, but what I liked most about the Rally Seat was how much easier the extra height makes transitioning form being seated to standing. This alone would make the seat worthwhile for me.
and?@user-tw2bq8cy5m
hey Ian, another great video!! Thank you! What do you think about the radiator cover? Is it really important?
Thank you for the info, the Tusk price will probably be the determining factor for my first set of panniers on my T7
Let me know when you come ride in Utah again!
Such a great video! Thanks! I just put a deposit on a 22 T7 and cannot wait! Lots of things here that I will probably buy when I have the bike and I'll def use the affiliate links! Subdya and liked the vid- thanks again!
I really enjoy the videos and it really helped with my decision to end up going with the T7. Forgive me if you already answered this question. However, what led turn signals are you using? I really like the run light look.
I have a BMW G650X Challenge. This is basically the same setup I have on my bike. Thanks!
Would love to meet you in person Sir, awesome content, thank you for taking the time to share with us!
Thanks Ian. Great value in your product assesments and own experienced sugestions. Is this white T7 a.new aquisition? I thought you reseantly got a Nordern 901.
Best from Bolivia 🇧🇴
Thanks love the review. I wish you gave us an idea how much approx. each item costs to get an idea. Might as well include that tidbit.
I didn’t realize you benefited from ordering through you. I ordered directly from Tusk. Next time! Promise!
Thanks for the video! Regarding de Dualventure tire, how is it on noise for you and your long rides? I bought them in size 19 for my GSA (with Rallz on the rear) and had to take them off due to the considerable noise they generated. On long travels it was unbearable @50-80 MPH, could not communicate with my pillion. This was a real unexpected surprise because of how they present it. Maybe it was the tire size and on 21's is better? I had the Rallz on other bikes and I am used to the knobby sound/noise plus I am a fan of the Motoz tires.
Thanks for the great Video. Can you share how much all your additions cost approx?
Request for a future video: Security. Do you leave a laptop or tablet in your soft luggage? I am a road rider looking to get an adventure bike. Soft luggage has some definite advantages, but I think I would want to combine soft panniers with a small hard top box for keeping valuables secured during scenic stops, restaurants, etc.
Here's my list
SRC rear rack
Tail tidy
Outback Motortech crash bars (oem's are crap)
Pivot pegs
LED indicators - most are fine, i used ones from SR Moto
Moto Z desert ht tires
Acerbis x factor handguards
Camel ADV 1 finger clutch arm
Mosko moto reckless 80 luggage - its big when you need it but you don't have to pack it all when you don't need it
Flash tuner - you can set it for mpg on commutes or long hwy stretches and switch it to performance off road
AXP Racing XTREME skid plate
shorty levers - I got mine from Off-the-Road
AND - very soon - Safari tanks in Austrailia is coming out with a dakar style low slung tank. Its currently in testing & I let the cat out before they wanted but I CANT WAIT!
Also, a second set of wheels should be completed in a week or so by Woody's Wheel works so I can keep 2 types of tire sets at the ready
Excellent video and suggestions!
Can you do a video on your purchase invoice for the BMW R1250GS like you did recently on the Norden?
You mention that you prefer the larger tank bag on this bike. Is the large model what is shown in the video? Trying to make a decision on what to buy for my new T7. Thanks!
Damn, just spent half the weekend researching Mosko, Lone Rider, Touratech, etc. for luggage, etc.
I thought Ian sold the Ténéré to get the Norden 901 ;) ... probably pre-recorded
"Only a few of the Tusk products" .. behind enough Tusks to re-teeth a family of Sabertooth tigers ... sorry Ian you kinda asked for it :D
once again solid info based on personal experience and more
For my Tracer 7, same engine, no crash bars I got the Yamaha Rubber Engine Guard, can recommend. When the bike fell on to pavement only the engine and hand-"guard" took damage, no scratch on the fairing or anywhere else.
To be fair. That's obviously a totally different application.
I hope that you / others were not hurt in your crash.
Best wishes
Hey Ian - enjoying your videos from afar. Would REALLY like to get your views on new Aprilia Tuareg 660
can you get the same bags but with a lot smaller logos. Between the bark buster logos and the tusk logo it makes it look like a Nascar.
Hello Ian, thanks for the content I think now that I'm going to be 60 this summer I've been thinking about letting the Beemer and AT go and buying a new middle weight ADV bike to bad BMW made the 850gs so heavy, anyway I'll be watching your reviews for more info.
Getting older as well, had my last 50 mile offroad day recently, selling 2017 AT for Versys 1000 road bike for cruise control and better wind protection.
Love this bike . Thanks man ‘
How tall are you, bud? That’s a good reference shot with you standing next to the rally seat and talking about it. I’m 5’9” with 32” inseam and I think I’d like that seat.
Hi, with the no rack soft bags setup (sides and rear) is there space left for a passenger ?
Hello I recently started following your channel and watched a lot of content I remember this bike when it was black I loved it I heard you say that you were going to sell it if you still have I would like to see if I could possibly buy it thank you for all your honesty content
Could you please provide the weight [Pounds and Kilograms if possible ] of the bike with the different luggage system set ups. Thanks.
Hi ! Can you please tell us about the T7 wrap ? Dry road riders and God bless
I noticed your link for the hand warmers is for an after market kit now. Does Yamaha not make the warmers anymore?
In order to get a tube type rear tire did you go with the 140/80-18 as opposed to 150/70-18 that only seems to be available in tubeless? Thanks
Thanks for the content,thoroughly enjoyable. I also have factory heated grips because they integrate with the bike so well. I complement these with heated gloves. But the batteries never last long enough for my longer excursions. Do you have any experience with heated gloves and if so can you get 12v plug-in gloves?
You can get them. They work great.
Do you think it's possible to scoot the x2 system forward enough to fit a rotopax horizontally on the rear rack?
Can you share what you do to fix the exhaust mount issue?
I know you may not ever get back to this video; however, if you do I have a question. Would the racks protect the muffler? Thank you!
I just got my T7. Do I need a top luggage plate in order to install Highland x2 rackless system?
i cant find videos about differences between t700 models(of any year19-22), for example any actual differences between t700 and t700 rally? its the colors, and some accessories only?(anything about engine or brakes?) / i saw your other video, with the pros and cons, but still i want to buy this baby, last years i didnt like it because of the hype, this years god damn idontn know what got into me, i want it now :P
can you do a video like this for the 2020+ Vstrom 1050?
Are the saddle bags compatible for riding with a passenger?
safe to assume the rackless Tusk bags will fit the 2019 Tenere correct?
What rear luggage rack behind the seat do you recommend ?
Would the tusk crash bars work with the safari tank for the T7?
Do you like the kriega bags ? I have a backpack an love it
Hi Ian, Although I'm currently adventuring on my KLR650, I feel that there's a T7 in my future. So these tips have been valuable for sure. I think I'll hold out for the 2022 World Raid model because it will solve the problems I see for me with the current standard T7. Am I dreaming? Or do you think the Raid will be available within a year or so? As always, Big Rock Moto rules!
I just cam frome a KLR to a T7 as well. Unless you're riding like Pol Tarres the "limitations" of the T7 are, I think, smoke. I will ALWAYS be the limiting factor on this bike and so will most everyone else
no worries brother...just doit ..only ur recom count 👍👍
Would this stuff fit on the new Aprilia 660 Toureg????
So I can use the Yamaha luggage rack with the tusk system?
Which engine covers were you mentioning?
Does anyone make pannier racks for tenere with high exaust kit
Does the rackless luggage wear on the plastics?
how do you feel after riding this bike for long time ? how the gear bar feel ?
Where did the black/orange T7 go? It was a weapon..
Motoz tire question: Do you recommend Tubeless or Tube-Type tires for the T7? Thanks for another great video!
Tubeless with tubes , waiting for a new set rallz rest and Dv front. THE rallz front wear to fast
Who makes the engine covers?
Ian, my bro and I want to buy two of these bikes. We are in Kenya, how can you help us?
Hey Ian i am wondering if the benelli trk 502x is any good, it seems to fit me at 5,11 and being a heavy set guy but the wet weight over 500lbs seems crazy. Looking to get my 1st bike in May and trying to find cheap options
I will try to test them this year.
Great video good. Bike 🎉
Now if I could only find a Yamaha Tenere 700 new in Wisconsin.
Very informative video.
thanks!
There is a whole series on the bike on my channel
Ian, I know this is an older post and I do not know whether you will see this; however, do the Tusk Pannier Racks protect the T700’s muffler?
Yes they do. I have the Tusk racks with Mosko Moto Scout 25s
In your opinion, does the Tusk pannier rack provide any protection for the T7’s vulnerable exhaust frame-mount issue? Thanks for your work!
yes
Yes, definitely the way to go
your videos are so helpfull
Glad you like them!
Ian , Yes I have seen you use the Puig windscreen on several of your bikes. What size Puig windscreen are you using ?
And would you stick to that size if you needed another one ?
Thanks
on the T7, the medium. Large on my GS
@@BigRockMoto
Thanks Ian for your response.
Now off to the BMW dealer to see how my Tracer 9 GT windscreen compares
🏍☁️
I am looking into the Puig clip on windscreen visor/deflector. What size is the best for the stock T7 windscreen? The above comments hints to a windscreen and not the visor/deflector.
Hello Ian, Thank you for creating such a wide variety of helpful videos. I was one of the lucky ones in Canada to get the first batch of Tenere700’s 3 years ago. I love it. Absolutely no issues with it.
I noticed you have an aftermarket clutch arm. What brand and does it help? Would you recommend a longer clutch arm?
Keep up the great videos. Thanks, Ryan.
@bcbikeracer
It’s from camel adv. I have it on my t7 and it is a good upgrade.
Do you know if the small puig deflector will work on the T7, thanks
yes
Making a review like this is no easy tusk.
Ok i know where to get the gear now... how about the bike?
Do you find much difference between the Motoz rallz and adventure rear? They look identical…
rallz is a softer compound. more grip, wears out faster
Exhaust name ??
How do you like that tire combination on the freeway?
great
Great product coverage.
I really really wish Yamaha went with Tubeless wheels on this bike. 😕
You and me both!
@@BigRockMoto,, I'm sure There are aftermarket solutions,, but which brand??
RMATV/MC only stocks for conventional DuelSp/dirt bike applications(tubes)..
Any thoughts Ian??
@@PaydayGabeBCNV Check this out czcams.com/video/lvd1nHVhjOk/video.html
@@PaydayGabeBCNV I'll be getting the Alpina Tubeless wheels from England when I get my T7.
true offroad bikes are really with tube...more manageable in wilderness
Just curious - how many bikes do you own? Do you buy and sell all the bikes you do reviews on?
I usually own 3 at a time, I do buy and sell sometimes for content purposes
Hey, you didnt link the engine covers! 😂😢
I have to share this with the community… I am compelled to do so cause that IS insane. I watched a video yesterday about long term review on a Pan America and it was said that when you change the tires from street to real off road tires you HAVE to take the bike back to the Stealership so they can adjust your suspension!!!😳😳😳😳 Can you believe this? The source was MCN !!!
Honestly,, I don't believe that. Although HD is a dealer concentrated motorcycle. Sounds like
Manufacturer hyperbole. BS to get you in the shop. Imho.
@@PaydayGabeBCNV that’s where they actually make their money tbh!!
@@MRGS48 ,, exactly what I was getting at.
Like BMW and other exotic machines,,
If you can afford that machine you can afford the service department. 🤣👍😩.
The local EuroCycle dealership charges $148 per hr in the service department. 🙄
Doesn't sound right. Anyway you can adjust your suspension on your own.
@@BigRockMoto ohh I know I am just sharing what came across is all but again it’s the word that ruins people not always the action…
What was wrong with the Dunlap Trail Max tires?
never tried them
Could you please remind us every or on many videos what height and leg inseam you are? This is a common problem with 99.9% of all reviewers.
As saying, "I do not have enough leg room" means nothing for me to judge. Are you 5'8", 6', 6'2",... leg inseam 32", 36",...?
Or put it in the info under the videos. I watch so many different videos and cannot remember everyone's dimensions.
I am considering buying a Vstrom 650 and have watched one of your reviews a few times and you mentioned the lack of leg room for you. I cannot remember your dimensions.
Have a great day!
Like your videos very much.
Have you given up on the GS?
not at all
Right after you fix the suspension, so the bike can carry more than fuel and one 90lb. rider, then all this stuff is great.
How tall are you?
I thought you sold your Tenere for the 901?
my videos do not publish in real time, most youtubers film a few weeks prior or even months to publishing, and schedules change. but, yes, it was sold
Is this an infomercial? If not it looks like it. Sorry.
Hello! Which brand are those auxiliary spot lights mounted on the crash bar?
He said they are Thumper Junkie lights from Rocky Mountain.
@@iridemotorbikes thanks!
