What have you done for your T7 today?

[shaneygrog]

Yep, us light, easy and cheap transporters might come in handy in these crazy times!

 

Either way, enjoy!

It's in 2 parts. Small size and still capable to be oriented.

 

 

Where did you by this support?

[erey]

Ram-mount for the ball and Ebay for the other part

Just finished fitting a Hepco & Becker Mini Rack - not without issues which I've posted about here: 

 

 

Also applied an important warning sticker, which in hindsight probably precludes me from riding my own bike!

Here are some more pictures @MGG and @Canomball.

I didn't quite understand Your question @Canomball. I You mean the bar end weights, I have the ones that came with the Barkbusters.

The distance between the brake handle and the hand guard is about 4 cm.

The levers that I have are about 2 cm shorter than the original ones.

Is a standar handguard of Bakcbuster or it is specific Bakcbuster fot Tenere 700

 

I have one Backbuster but it is not loike this, is more straihgt

I just started to fit these but unfortunately I don’t have a 12mm Allen key to remove the stock bar end weigh. 

[Stephen H]

No tools required to fit this but any adventures are now on hold.

I fitted Barkbusters too, the T7 specific ones,  but I found when I tightened them up on the throttle side.(using the spacer) they stopped the throttle turning freely. I have the OEM Yamaha heated grips...?  Cheers,  Steve 

[Stephen H]

Well I have the heated grips as well so it sounds like I may have the same problem as you when I eventually get to fit them. What was your solution to the problem.

Sorted it fairly easily by cutting down the removable rubber end of the heated grip...it's not a problem,  just means a bit of fettling needed! Cheers,  Steve

Hi Steve

                  Thanks for that tip I will no doubt need to do the same as you when my 12mm Allen key arrives from Amazon so I can get the Oem bar weights off. 
Cheers Steve

Strange. I have the Oxford heated grips and didn't have this problem.

[boboneleg]

Same here, no problem with my Oxford heated grips. I suspect the Yamaha version may be slightly longer ?

Touratech stuff finally arrived and fitted the skid plate and rear brake pedal extender.

 

I have the footpegs as well but they packed the wrong one for the left hand side, so I'm waiting for them to send out the correct one. Given the current sh!tuation I might get it in time for winter!

 

 

Rad guard fitted ready for when my Camel ADV high fender kit arrives (currently in Montreal according to Canada Post tracking).

 

 

And here a picture of the Race Styles graphics I fitted a couple of weeks ago.

Fitted a set of these too:

 

Yamaha T7 Stainless Wheel Spacers-RRP 635

 

 

These are the OE spacers after 1200 miles, showing early signs of scoring where they fit at the bearing seals. And I'm ashamed to admit that those 1200 miles have so far been mainly road miles (I'm working on it!)

Hi Steve,

This might not work for you but it is a good trick substitute for oversized allen keys.

 Double nut a bolt with the size head you need and use a socket over the nuts.

  OK ,go ahead with the jokes folks.

    Can always use another laugh, even at my own expense.

Are these considered consumables like brake pads?

Nice decals. If it's not big trouble share a few photos in the dedicated thread for Tenere 700 decals...thanks

Not on any other bike I’ve owned! 

 

I came across these on Rally Raid’s website when I was looking for their wheel removal tool, and I put them on my ‘farkling’ list.
 

Thought I’d share because based on the slight scoring I’ve experienced in 1200miles, it would seem the issue of premature wheel bearing seal failure could be realistic. I’d be interested to see if anyone with more off road mileage has seen the same?

 

In reality I mainly got them because they are shiny and cheap, and with the Covid lockdown I can’t do much else with my bike at the moment so why not?!! 

[al700]

Are you sure the Touratech high crash bars will be compatible with the CamelAdv high fender?

I haven't been off road but have them off the bike and the bike has 2100 road miles.. 

It's just the paint at the moment no feeling of any scoring.

Hi gonetoseed thanks for that but I will wait for the postman to bring the proper size but always worth knowing should I ever be stuck. 
cheers Steve
