  • CORRECTION: The new seat is a Tourtecs Comfort Seat High XL, not Seat Concept. Sorry for the mistake, I got confused by google search results. Full video on the seats coming soon!
    I just put the first 10000 kilometers on my new motorcycle, the Yamaha Tenere Extreme. I give you a little tour of vestfold County, go dancing in Montana (sort of) and discuss my new seat, from Tourtecs.

      Nice! I put the factory high seat on my Africa Twin. It is much more comfortable and plush. It was relatively cheap, too. I am also 6'1".

    Glad to see you're enjoying the Tenere!
    Funnily enough I've done something similar to you and the Tenere with my ‘17 Africa Twin. Bought it brand new and could flat foot it with slight bent knees completely standard, then got the Hyperpro HD spring kit front and back and that raised it 20mm… still okay. Then got the Touratech one piece seat, there's low, standard and high. Got the high, it’ll be fine!
    6'5” and I'm upon the balls of my feet all the time now, have to be careful on uneven ground and road cambers etc… damn it's the comfiest seat I've ever had on a bike though!
    Happy adventures!

    • @TalkTheRide

    I bought the Tenere World Raid almost two months ago. Been doing about 2300 km. I absolutely love it! It's agile, inspiring, good comfortand fun!
    Keep the videos coming. You are fun to listen to!
    I have to make it to Norway this summer. It is so much more fun to ride in Norway compared to Sweden.

  • @pinkiewerewolf
    @pinkiewerewolf Před měsícem +1

    It does take some conditioning to build up those daily high mileage rides. I guess it is like yoga for motorcycles. 😂
    I’m glad you like the Seat Concepts seat, I can’t wait for mine to arrive.

    I must say the more I watch your videos the more I am thinking about trading my XSR. Being 6'3" tall I could use the extra comfort and still have that 689cc Yamaha engine that I love. I was out riding today but it was too hot for my red flannel. 😂😂

    • @TalkTheRide
      @TalkTheRide  Před měsícem +1

      Haha even the flannel has it's limits 😂 As for the XSR-to-T7x pipeline I vote yes yes yes! It's only 16kg heavier and still has that CP2 fun factor 👍🎉🏍️

    Just got of my standard T7 after riding 559km during the day. Mostly smaller roads on my way home from Jämtland to Skåne. In my opinion the Tenere is a perfect travelling bike. Of course I feel it in my butt but that’s ok😊

    • @TalkTheRide
      @TalkTheRide  Před měsícem +1

      Wow that's quite the day! 🎉 Yes, the T7 is great for long hauling, I've noticed (in my own small way, I gotta work up to that 559km day 😁)

    @kaykay8686 Před měsícem +1

    Love the videos!! Thanks. Question: Did it take an entire week to do your 1000 km service? I may have misunderstood that in your video. Personally, here in South Korea at my local Yamaha dealership, I'll get everything done that I need without an appointment the same day. I own 2 Yamahas: 2015 Tracer 900 (the toy) and a 2023 Nmax 155 (the commuter). Thanks again for the entertaining videos. Keep them coming.

    • @TalkTheRide
      @TalkTheRide  Před měsícem +1

      Yes the earliest appointment they had was a week away 👍 I think running a motorcycle dealership in Norway might be a challenge sometimes. Not enough people are into it so the margins are tight. They need a little backlog of orders , I guess. 👍

    I managed to tap a hole in my gas tank when trying to restore damaged thread. Should have used a thread chaser kit, but was in haste to restore the bike before upcoming 400 mile trip...
    Well, no trips for me until mid July, the gas tanks are on back order until July 10 😢

    Hvor høy er du ? :) Er 2 meter lang med lange bein og ser etter første sykkel. Søker litt rundt og flere sier at XSR700 er romslig.. Men høres ikke sånn ut på deg :)

    • @TalkTheRide
      @TalkTheRide  Před dnem +1

      Step into my office! Jeg er 1.86 og har litt lange ben selv. XSR700 er en flott første sykkel. Den er lett å håndtere, morsom å kjøre og absolutt å anbefale for første sesongen (når absolutt ALT er gøy). Andre sesong kommer du muligens til å ønske deg noe med mere plass. F.eks Tenere. Jeg er glad jeg startet på noe litt mindre, men måtte oppgradere etterhvert.

      It's fine if there is no sidewinds coming in. I feel a little bit on my arms but no problem, really

  • @zombiejase
    @zombiejase Před 28 dny

    Awesome new vid brother I'm glad you got your first service out the way. I tell you they don't have charge a lot for what they do eh. Madness. When I brought my MT09 I said to the sales guy oh how much is the first service? He said 150 all in I said OK. Then when I took it in at 600 miles they said oh its £180 english pounds. I was like wtf ? They said oh oil has gone up see. Bloody piss takers lol. I haven't done many miles this year as we had real bad weather for months the start of the year again so I uses the car instead. Tell me from empty how much gallons roughly does your nee tenete hold? And how many miles will it do before the warning liggt comes on to fill up again?

    • @TalkTheRide
      @TalkTheRide  Před 28 dny

      Thank you! Glad you liked it! 👍🙏 We're on the metric system over here, but here goes( I crunched the numbers 😊): The tank holds about 4.2 gallons, warning light comes on when there is about 1 gallon left. If I ride sensibly I can go about 140 miles before the warning light comes on 👍

    • @zombiejase
      @zombiejase Před 27 dny

      ​@TalkTheRide thats not bad really. Glad your enjoying it so far.

    • @TalkTheRide
      @TalkTheRide  Před 27 dny

      Yes when that eco light is on it's not bad at all 👍

    • @zombiejase
      @zombiejase Před 27 dny

      ​@TalkTheRide when does the eco light come on when you just go easy on the throttle?? I've not see that on a bike before. Great scenery on yiur rides too. Big up from the u.k!

    • @TalkTheRide
      @TalkTheRide  Před 27 dny

      Yeah the dash gives me a little eco light when I'm riding eco friendly, typically 4-5k revs. The XSR did it too 👍🏍️
