thanks. picked up my rack today. will be putting it on this weekend!

Excellent and generous video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge about the Tenere 700 accessory and process of installation. One can save the fitment cost. Just a matter of gathering the small collection of tools to complete the task that you pointed out at the start of the video. Many thanks.

Thanks for sharing. I just got the oem rack with no directions and this helps out a lot!

Helpfull guide ! Thanks for making this video

Thanks again for sharing, mine should be coming in today!

Thanks a lot dear friend, your explanation is perfect. Cheers from Venice, the real one.

One of the best videos on KZread, thanks for sharing. Do you have any more coming out soon? I’m getting a Tenere 700 soon and would like to see any reviews or comments you may have from some of the modifications done to your bike. Thanks

Thanks! New videos will come - the bike and me are in Norway waiting for spring to arrive - link to modifications on my Ténéré 700: kzread.info/dash/bejne/g2aZzcWtpsu_hag.html

Thanks for the video. Well explained.

Nice rack, chose this one at it comes already with Givi Monokey lugs for the Trekker / Kappa top boxes. 👍

I love your how to videos, no drama, no pumping music to distract from the content. I do have one observation, you didn't use any Thread Locker? From experience, I learned to make sure I always use it on the connections when adding anything to my Bike and 4X4. Just curious why you didn't use any.

Thanks! You are correct. I installed the rack according to the instructions and Yamaha did not specify any Thread Locker, but I usually use the stuff. I have learned the hard way that it makes a difference! :-) I will have to remove the bolts in order to install side case carriers and will use Thread Locker when I reinstall the bolts, and will start to use the stuff more frequently!

Thx!

Your are right. The rack is made in Italy by Givi! They are as well the manufacturer of the top case for Yamaha. In Europe Givi is less expensive compared with Yamaha.

It's a nice rack but I can't seem to find any Pannier racks for soft luggage that are compatible with it that will also fit Camel Adv Aux Gas tank & High Exhaust.

Hi! Thank you for the vídeo. Minute 8:20 wich key are u using to lock? Thank you

Can we install this grab to MT-15 bike

Where did you find the rack? Yamaha's site always shows it being sold out.

does it fit also monolock cases?

Anyone know what are the small metal flaps at the top of the footpeg bolts is for?

How much weight can it support

Good video is there a bag bracket that matches this mount or is it separate

note - i have 2 x givi cases and neither fit this rack when i bought a tenere with it already on ...they were close, but wasn't a correct fitment.

Is it confortable for the pillion? Don't their legs hit the bars? Just got subbed, btw. Love the channel!

Are the tabs for mounting the case removable?

Is it possible to install this oryginal rear rack with Motortrek side rack?

@orbsurfer8195

3 жыл бұрын

I do not know, but it looks like the Mototrek Rack should be mounted between the steel tube spacers and the Yamaha rear rack. For the perfect mount, the two loose spacers should be shortened by the thickness of the rack mount ears, and the two welded on spacers on the Yamaha Rear Rack should be cut of the rack, and shortened by the thickness of the rack mount ears too. You might be able to fit the rack on the outside of the Yamaha Rear Rack, making it super easy, but the cases might tilt a little inwards at the bottom. I did a similar install with the Givi Side Case Racks, but it involved cutting, grinding, drilling and painting in order to get the Yamaha Rear Rack to fit with the Givi Side Case Racks, but it now works great! Good Luck!

wonder if that rack won't press on pillion legs...

Hi everyone. I have the T7 with the OEM rear rack like the one in this video. Can anyone tell me if I can add the Yamaha pannier frame kit to the OEM Yamaha rear rack ?? Any help would be much appreciated

@orbsurfer8195

I looked at the sets. On old pictures it looks like it would fit because the kit has flat tabs to fasten the frame kit where the rack is fastened. On newer picture of the set, not so because the kit with the same part number: BW3-F84G0-00 is completely different with the large grab handles and foot peg brackets (just as on the rear rack) now part of the pannier frame kit. I have not seen official Yamaha pictures with both side and top cases mounted, only top or side cases. I have installed the Givi Trekker Alaska side cases with a Givi pannier rack together with the Givi Trekker Outback 42 liter top case. I made it fit with the help of an angle grinder with a cutting and grinding blade, 3/4" and 8 mm drill bits, flat and round files, black satin spray paint and some new bolts from the hardware store; 8 x 26 mm flanged bolts I think it was + flanged nuts. Do not forget the blue Threadlocker! kzread.info/dash/bejne/YmWO2aqQpMy8kqQ.html I should have shown the actual modifications in the video. Maybe later. Not that bad of a modification. :-)

@@orbsurfer8195 Thanks for the info. I have the Yamaha OEM side racks fitted for panniers, but can’t seem to get a straight answer form Yamaha on whether I can also cut the rear rack. From your comments, it sounds like it depends on which side rack you have.

@@OoNoyanoO I don’t think it’s compatible for the hard luggage system. I went for a soft luggage large waterproof bag that connects to the rear rack using kriega straps that can be purchased from sports bike shop uk. It’s a great easy system to use and saves a lot of weight. Also they have bags that will connect to my crash bars. So with the two crash bar bags and the rear rack bag I have around 42L of space. You can add another 20L bag onto the rear rack as kriega allow bags to be added together. They work really well they are waterproof they save massive amounts of weight they can be locked to the bike for security. Hope that helps.

What are the nm torque for assembly?

Torque for the four large bolts (M8x70 mm) and foot peg bolts (M8x45) are 10 Nm/15 lb-ft. Torque for the four small front bolts (M6x16 mm) are 10 Nm/7.5 lb-ft.

This rack seems to be the only option for monokey box's.

"A lubricated bolt." Hmm, you do know that friction is what keeps bolts in place, right? You do not lubricate bolts or nuts. You want fiction to work it's magic. If you want to put lube on your bolts, well, by all means do. As for me, unless the manufacture specifies it I won't put any on mine. Be safe!

I'm to theoretical, a total nut! :-) Torque is force (lb | Nm) multiplied by distance (ft | m). The torque is tension between the mating surfaces; i.e. the threads, and the tension causes the threads to stretch. If you scale the bolts up to say 1" in | 25 mm diameter, and you picture two I-Beams on a building site being bolted together, too much friction in the form of corrosion or just general dirt on the threads minimizes the amount of force between the mating surfaces of the flanges on the I-Beams. The torque wrench will indicate correct torque due to friction, not the tension we are after. Clean and lubricated bolts will still loose much of the tightening force to friction between the mating threads too, but will get closer to the actual torque numbers. The bolts on our motorcycles are much smaller, but the principle is the same. I never lubricate bolts were I apply Threadlocker, but I always wipe the bolts clean if they are dirty! Sorry for this long explanation! :-) Take Care and Have a Great Ride!
