Update: Here is step-by-step guide to replace db-killer out of the Akrapovič: bit.ly/removingdbkiller Here is the sound of the exhaust without DB Killer: bit.ly/soundwodbkiller Update 2: I am now in touch with Outback Motortek. They are open to cooperate and it seems I should get their crash protectors as soon as they finish development :) Can't wait for this review!

JF Motorcycles the akrapovic exhaust isn’t worth the cost and isn’t that much better cosmetically. Removing the baffle is stupidly difficult and ruins the warranty. There are better, cheaper alternatives. .

Hey JF. Just curious of how much louder the Akra exhaust is with and without DB killer compared to the stock. Also, did you end up installing the Akra headers and the Rapid Bike unit? (I have it on my AT with full Arrow and it works nicely).

Just put down my deposit for the next one coming to my nearby dealer, can’t wait!!!

Great video, thanks very much for reviewing these accessories

Thanks for your videos. I likd a lot because very interesting. I'm thinking to buy it. Good job.

your review is very useful to me and hope you'll soon review also headers mod and find nice crash bars !

Thanks for the info...really looking forward to this bike being available in the US! Any early info you provide makes for better buying decisions when it's our turn. Cheers, and ride safe!

Very good information to consider before the T7 goes on sale here next year, especially the long distance comfort issues. I hope we get the same accessories in the US. It seems they knew exactly what riders would want.

Your videos are great dude!! keep it simple and straight to the point... congratulations again! 👍🏼

You're welcome. I am glad you liked it.

Hi. Thanks for this series. I'm also 1.93 and struggles with Windprotection on all adventure bikes. Is this bike better than for instance the Africa twin?

I like the pipe, top box, heated grips, risers for the GPS - not the seat because I'm 5'8. You dumped the engine protection bars. The bike has a chain drive so I'd definitely add a centre stand. I wish it had a shaft drive like the Super Tenere.

Really enjoying your Tenere 700 series. So few objective reviews online these days. I had planned to replace my KTM 950 Adventure with the Africa Twin, but this bike has got my attention. We have to wait another year here but by then the accessories availability will be better from third party suppliers. I would love to see a test on some more technical off road terrain as I like doing some real adventures. While I'm waiting I'm left with riding my 94 R80 gs. It reminds me of my Kubota tractor. Industrial, not exciting! Teple pivo je horsi nez studena nemko!

Have you/someone tried the motorcycle with pillion? How does it handle? Is it decent comfortable ? Does it affect the ride too much? Thank you! Best reviews on this bike on KZread!

No Skidpkate update?? I bought the ACD Racing parts skid and for me, doing off-road, it's a Must have. Looks great and really well build. Im also waiting for Outback crashbar and rack pannier wich look great. Finally I'm looking for Oxford heated grips and backbuster handguards.

Great video as always, thanks a bunch! You very briefly mentioned some longish rides you did, to the Ukraine I think? One big question mark for me is how comfy is it on a long, touring trip; both for the rider and a pillion? I can't find any reviews that talk about this. I'm considering getting a T7 but if it doesn't have 'long legs' then I may get the yammy tracer 900gt instead, as touring is more important than offroading for me. Ideally, I'm really hoping the T7 is the swiss army bike I'm looking for: I'm convinced it's great for commuting and offroading, and just need some evidence about touring. Thanks dude, keep up the good work!

If you try out the Outback Motortek panier rack you could confirm if it does or not work with the rear rack. That would be nice, and I know you tried to get them to send you a prototype

@JF Motorcycles I'm 6,3" and i feel cramped on the T7, I would like lower pegs, brake-pedal and gearshifter. What's youre thoughts?

I am enjoying your roll out of Tenere videos. Now to get them for sale in the USA!

What else does Yamaha offer for the bike in terms of luggage? I'd probably use my Wolfman soft luggage but am interested to see what racks are available from Yamaha. Thanks for the great review!

Does the exhaust help the snatchy throttle?

Hi, amazing channel you have here. Honest reviews and personal opinion speaking of every bit us as viewers would like to be aware of. Please continue the good work! I have just one question about the Rally seat. I have 1,93cm as you, weight less of around 90kg, do you think the normal seat is ok or should I change to the rally seat for the extra height? I don’t do off-road, mainly for road travel and for touring is the purpose. Also, which seat is better in comfort for the extra passenger? I usually take my girlfriend with me. Thank you in advance! Oh, and btw, I am also an owner of a 2015 triumph scrambler same colours ;) all the best! Bonus question (if you have time): my first option is always the Africa Twin, but after seeing your videos and you have the same height and bought the T7, now I am a bit confused which one should I buy tbh :)

I would like to see a fuel range test. If that is possible. Test on all road. Maybe some off road and possibly a mix of off road/on road. Just an average day out sort of ride.

Good bike. I used to tour Europe on an XT500.

Nice videos JF !! and what about over a center stand ? Any adventure bike need it ! For maintenance, cleaning and to repair tube tyres (bad choice from yamaha ! )

Does someone knows when it will be available in latinamerica?

Is this bike strongly affected by the lateral winds at speed ( 100 - 160 km/h ) in open areas ? How is the headlight at night - good, or useless ?

Nice bike! I like the color too

If you buy the top case , the second person, I mean the passenger , can he sit comfortably with the top case behind him , and the metallic frame ?

Good job on the Tenere...I've been looking for some comprehensive videos on how practical a bike it would be. Its liking ore and more like my next ride will be one. Thanks!

And, did you buy it?

Ahoj All, I have the same bike, same colour and the good news is, that for the factory rack all MONOKEY boxes fit. I have a cheap KAPPA box - plastic - for everyday rides. 46 liters. Cheap means less than 90 EUR. Also the Outback Motortek was mentioned. Nice stuff is coming in October, but you can find videos on KZread about the projects. Thanks for the seat update! I am a hardcore rider. My longest ride with just refueling stops was 1900+km on a bike, but this one is really hurtful. I think I will have the seat rebuilt by a company here in Hungary. Much cheaper then the factory rally seat. Ride Safe!

I am really satisfied with the comfort of the Seat Concepts low seat on my WR250R. I'm only 171cm, have no lowering link and just did the "factory lowering" adjustment. I'm looking forward to a Seat Concepts seat for the T700.

agreed, tenere should use only side soft bags or something like giant loop coyote bag. Regarding exhaust, it's waste of money.

Hi! Whats typ your panier plan? The Outback Motortek is an Hungaryan product. I have OM in my Tenere 700. Nice day.

I really apreciate if you could (whenever is possible to you) tell something more about the weight of these accesories. Specially the rear pannier. Outback motorteck and SW-Motech crashbars look like proper protection. I'm following them cause I want to know about its weight. I also heard that Yamaha's crash bars are about 5kg, so we'll compare. SW-motech rear pannier also looks good and lighter than Yamaha's.

@@JFMotorcycles For starters, it is at least 50 lbs too heavy. MT07 with same engine is 400 lbs. The whole engine is very exposed. By the time you get crash guards, luggage racks and center stand it will be 500lbs. Husky 701 is 330 lbs, DRZ650 is 360 lbs. I'm in Texas so, I don't have chance to check it out. Is radiator vulnerable like on MT09 or 07? Tracer 900 is only 20lbs heavier and doesn't look so exposed.

Please Help! Tenere 700 - strange noise from tires. Not constans but sinusoidal... as if the tire was not perfectly round. I hear it especially around 65-75 kph and around 110kph. Please let me know is it normal with Pirelli Rally Scorpion STR tires?

Nice video and your bike is looking great, although I was pretty disappointed to hear that you consider the original seat to be unconfortable, cause I am not tall enough to use a rally seat.

Como ele disse Andre, muito subjetivo! Corpo humano não foi feito para ficar sentado por longo periodos, certo? Vai depender muito do peso e altura do piloto. Tive uma Tenere 660z (1.78cm/70Kg), e achava muito confortavel mas depois de 2hs pilotando tinha que parar pra esticar a coluna! Dia 2 de Novembro, a Yamaha irá trazer a T7 para um showroom aqui em British Columbia, Victoria. Estou super ancioso para ve-la.

Do you know if you can just buy the GIVI topcase, that is branded GIVI, not Yamaha and just put a Yamaha lock on the topcase so it can be locked and unloacked with the same key that you use for the ignition? Thanks

Auxiliary lights, pannier racks.

It's weird how the accessories industry is getting bigger and bigger. I heard this weekend from a Pro pilot, which that money invested in accessories should be put on training your ride skills, instead, accidents on roads would be decreasing a lot.

MTC exhaust. You should see it.

For me. The top case a little simple givi (round) 34 or 37l empty just to put one helmet when you stop and to have something for the back of the passenger with a little cushion. For the luggages soft Kriega (os32 and os22) with sw-moteck side racks. With the sw-moteck side racks you can easely pull off in 3 minutes and have your bike lighter on weight and view. For the crashbar i'm not fixed for the moment.

I am not affraid, this will be a bestseller equal or more than Africa twin worldwide.
