Great discussions on mods made to refine setup for the rider and address vulnerable bits. This is an impressive motorbike that I will need to consider as a replacement for my competent, but heavy 2012 R1200GS.

Spings are to soft even in KTMs when your hitting everthing that these bikes are capeble off, get your springs changed and valving, it transforms your bike even on the road, and makes it more comfortable and safer , my bike used to dive in the front under hard braking into corners making for a difficult bike to control, upped my front fork springsto heavier ones and its a totaly different bike , Love It...

GPS pops out and goes in the tank bag when stopped for lattes, or with me when stopped overnight.

Hello Dave, still a very informative video with useful advice, even if you have already driven some km. I have a T 700 Rally and sometimes come with my height (175 cm, 5.7 food) to the limit. Meanwhile it goes better and I have come to terms. A reduction in height I have not yet made and would like that only as an emergency. To my question: Since the saddle is too high I can not climb directly but go first on the footrest and then swing the other leg over. So all the weight is on the side stand. Is this the right way? (There is no other way for me...) how does Clubby do it? (he's not a giant either). I'm going to assume that I'll need to check the side stand more often and replace it at some point if necessary, right? Thanks for your feedback Matthias

I know a lot of riders carry camera gear and, like me, find the safest place to put it is on the tank. If everyone likes weight distribution of 790, why not make lockable compartment out of present gas tank location.?. France and Japan build the T7, I wonder if there should have been a North American build too. Calgary has a modded T7 somewhat like one of yours.

I like the black...so I got one

Love everything about the T7, and really would love to pull the trigger on one. My only issue is the weight. 5'8''/160 (172cm/72kg), I currently ride a WR250R and just love the bike. Only reason I am looking to get the T7 is longer freeway sections. I live in the states and you can't really avoid longer freeway at times. Your a better rider than I am but, I thought you might be able to offer some thoughts. Everyone shows how to pick up a T7, but its always on flat ground, nice grassy field, not tired from riding. Who cares......I want to know how it is when you dump it on a steep rocky hill, dead tired from riding all day, etc etc. I thought hard about a KTM 390 like but I really prefer the quality/reliability of Yamaha. The KTM 390 just seems like a cheep unreliable bike that will likely strand me in the middle of know where. Anyway love the channel and appreciate all the effort you guys put in. Thanks for any feedback. Cheers

Great suggestion!

👍. Bikes coming along quite nice. Maybe I expect to much from the premium price tag on these bikes especially if u look at the price of the world rally version. Which has been out for 2 or 3 years. Without any upgrades. The amount of things u need to buy to actually turn these bikes into a actual adventure bike is a bit ridiculous really. Just basic things like a chain guide, hand guards, crash guards ect. Then u get to the suspension. Which sounds like it’s designed for a 60-70kg rider + a bit of gear. Maybe I do expect to much for the premium price tag. I even looked at the price of a drz 400. The only upgrade it’s had in 3 years is the ridiculous upgrade in price of $ 2800. How does that work?
