This was posted a little while ago but I am curious how the chinbar plays with glasses. I have tried on a few other (and not very good) modulars and they let me raise the chinbar while still wearing my glasses. Does this allow you to do that at all?
F rcmp bunch of criminals
L'embrayage est ton ami et au lieu de domner des coups de guidon brusque vaut mieux pencher la becane et contre balancer le poid en mettant tout ton poid du cote inverse ou tu veux aller. Et comme dit monsieur le gendarme, tourne la tete jusqu'au torticolis lol. Franchement pas mal pour une première ! Je suis fier de toi!
Speed = stability you are not going fast enough and looking where you want to go.
@@Dooms1972 and not looking far enough either.
At first to become clear I'm a customer of this online store and I'm very pleased with my purchases and the service. I find "Off The Road" online store excellent! I was planning to buy these rotors but after thorough tests with 2 Garmin GPS units (Edge 540 & Forerunner 620) the odometer of Yamaha Tenere 700 is accurate 100% !! So you get accurate distances and fuel consumption which are the things that matter... But the speedometer has indeed an error around 8-10% so you see higher speeds on the dashboard than the GPS units. I've been told that is done in purpose to make rider stay to the safe side for the speed limits and all motorcycle companies do the same thing as long as the speedometers are not fluctuate more than 15%. My particular model is a Tenere Rally 2023 with the colour dashboard. I'm not sure if is there any difference with the old monochrome dashboards... I hope that this helps for all Tenere 700 riders...
Thanks for the info and how to, it made to think that Yamaha know this is inaccurate and still fit the parts, and good point in the increased mileage it adds to the bike as the Speedo is inaccurate
How do you like the fast flexx bars so far ?
@@jakefrye-1376 would be hard to live without lol
Just starting my motorcycle journey at 50 yrs old. My first bike is the two wheel unarmed tank known as the KLR 650 S. In a couple years I am looking at either the DCT AT VS THE 1290 SAS. The AT for the DCT and the Apple car play with Honda reliability. Don't like the Air filter access method of the AT vs the 1290 with theirs in front of the fuel cap cartridge slip in style. Also no back-lighted controls on the AT. On the KTM i like the power aspect, though the 0-60mph times are 3.2 for KTM and 3.6 for the AT, So both perform well in that area so neither is a deal breaker in that area as both are fine to have it when needed. i would need to test ride both for sure but one thing I HATE on my KLR with my size 18 feet, EU SIZE 54 if i recall, is the tiny and clunky shifter and its hard to find neutral. SO unless I get a custom heel toe shifter for my KLR, I can see going to the AT 2024 or newer with DCT. Though if the KTM, with backlit controls and better air filter access has a smooth, non tractor clunky shifting, and the quick shifting is good, i could see getting it instead. So DIY work, and backlit controls, i would choose KTM, but big feet wise, either smooth shifting easy to find neutral KTM if it shifts smooth. otherwise if shifting is an issue on it to foot size, then AT DCT. So it pivots on 3 variables, air filter access simplicity, big feet ease of gear changes, and back lit controls. Adaptive vs standard cruise control is not as much of a deciding factor at this point as the other issues need resolving first. Gotta start somewhere right?
A dancing machine. Looks like you had fun.
got to occupy myself while waiting for the Tenere 700 to turn around lol
Nice work! Looks like you had fun!! See you in 2025!
hi what rack did you put for your suitcase and how did you adapt it? THANKS
@@nicolasdasilva2414 hi Just the outback motortek for this bike
Do they hurt your calves if you're wearing something light? Do they make some that go against your shins? These remind me of EUC pads.
@@AnisKadri better to us MX boots or similar tall boots. Not sure about the chin thing.
nice job my good man.
Exhaust swap
Where can i get the new abs disc
Hey, just click the link in the description bud.
Update on the high speed noise: I think it is actually more quiet than the OEM exhaust , hard to believe but yeah.
I'm not the only one breathing like that while riding 😆😄
I am paying for my bad body position lol
Like my ex girlfriend constantly talking an not concentrating on what he is doing. But you are brave, no doubt about it. Maybe gather some confidence with a more suited bike first?
Your "girlfriend" was a "he"?
I like the challenge of the big bike lol
@@northof49adv As long as you have fun, you are doing everything right. A little more speed maybe; would add to the fun and "if in doubt, throttle out" :)
I made my own by cutting it with CNC-Laser machine. With 42 "holes" the speedometer is only 1% off, but the odometer comparison showed -7% accuracy.
Quack... Quack.... Quack....
why didnt you start it
Start what ?
That kickstand looks awesome! 😀
Great video and good point at the end. I sometimes like to think I'm a Dean, but I'm a Greg, and there's nothing wrong with that. The new Africa Twin is on my short list.
'PromoSM'
Give a tenere a try if you feel you're too heavy. Still rides great on the highway and is fun in the twisties as well. I sold my AT for a Tenere and could not be happier!
I have a tenere in the garage and i take it on rides sometimes. here is what i don t like about it: Engine brake is brutal shifter is stiff body position / foot peg rest is awkward. i am just not at home on it like i am on the AT. if that makes sense?
@@northof49adv Yeah fair enough man. I hear you about the stiff shifter! Also, the bars are a little far forward for me and a little low when standing up. But that can be fixed easily. Aside that I LOVE the big. We all gotta find our unicorn!
Ha! Fun!!! :D
Will you be able to keep up with your wife now?
I can only try lol
Woohoo! Now we'll not only sse you but hear you, load and clear, mr!
Thank you for sharing this Greg! Love your work!!
Cool. I really like the idea of adventure gathering and displays. How common are these shows,I haven't seen one near me
They, ( i mean Dean and Rennie really ) created one because they noticed there was a need for it at the last official moto show in Vancouver. good turn out too here.
@@northof49adv That is cool. Great idea and planning.
Wow, such a great adventure! I would like to buy a dual sport and travel in the near future. How do you plan such a route, and do you use GPS? Thanks for the great video.l
Hi We use a combination of bc back road maps on the GPS with a micro SD card and the paper version of the same map just In case.
@@northof49adv Thank you for your reply. I haven't ridden a motorcycle for a long time and would like to buy a dual sport in the near future to enjoy nature. I came from Japan 25 years ago and have lived in BC but have not enough yet to see of it.
Totally agree. The rear brake is awful! Thanks for the install video of the Fix!
Sue Yamaha over it. I am sure they need to have a laugh too. I already loled. While you are at it, sue them over the soft suspension too which sucks off road. You might bottom out and crash! 😁😂😂😂
No I don’t buy the tent pole system there’s easyer tents out there
Better to get practice in a warm dry place than out on the trail. Don't be a Nancy...Lol
Looks a beast to put up, no awning for my boots is no good for me and good luck getting it back in that bag in a wet field
Good review. I would never consider any tent with sleeved poles - so this one's out - but I like the "black-out" fabric and being able to store in a pannier.
if no sleeves , what type then?
@@northof49adv - there are many tents that have a single pole, with sections connected by shock cord, where the inner tent clips to the poles. The outer shell then goes over the poles and attaches with Velcro. Take a look at the Sea to Summit Telos tents for example. They are pricey but there are cheaper brands with the same system.
@@razorwired130so your inner tent will be soaking wet when pitching in a rainstorm
@@dutchdryfly - no - just the opposite. You can erect the tent with the outer cover over the poles. Then get under neath and clip in the inner tent. I've erected the tent in POURING rain have not got a drop on the inner tent.
Its enormous!!!v
Nice tent but they are well known for being challenging to set up for the first few times until thy begin to wear.
Yup , I had a few swear words during the video, which did not make it to the final cut lol
Great tent. I have a 2 man version since 2019 and love it. The blackout means you don't wake with the early morning sun if you don't want to and the reflective outer shell keeps the heat out on a warm day while also keeping the heat in at night. Best sleep I've had in a tent for years 👍
We love decathlon!
I found ME 😆👌👍
excellent
3:01 that is so cool! That is one of those old-school paper tracking systems that winds up pre-made instructions on basically a roll that I think they attach directly to your odometer so it winds as you travel. I have not seen a "modern" one not used just for fun.
Would you be interested to sale your OEM side stand? I’m in New Mexico.
Sorry buddy, but I keep all original parts just in case
@@northof49advNo problem, thanks for answering. Have a lot of fun and keep good attitude and have a lot of fun with your motorcycles and wife.
For those interested. OEM Bars cover lower bolt on the side plastic panel. You can kinda undo it but it shows the "design". Also my bike tipped on a grassy field and now bar on this one side is almost touching the plastic 😂 what a joke for the price
We had good results so far with adventure specs crash bars .
I’m interested in seeing you do a pivot turn with this stand. And in hearing from you whether it’s adequately strong while you live large on your AT
Just found your channel, very informative, thank you! Subscribed!
Hi , thanks glad you like it.
It seems to me that it will be hard to remove enough weight to make any real difference on the road, though perhaps any weight reduction is helpful when riding off road. Weight that is low on the bike is actually an advantage when touring on major roadways, as it helps mitigate buffeting when passing big trucks.
@jameshanna8762 very true, still debating changing the exhaust that alone would shave 4 lbs.... I did notice a bit of difference when off road since , so it is encouraging. The AT still has plenty of weight to be solid on the highway too.
Looks beautiful ⛰⛰⛰
Cant stop watching for the scenery alone! Well done!
