What have you done for your T7 today?

[DazR]

Hi T Man,  Yes I did for both the suspension and the Enduristan bags.

Good, who has the springs?

[DazR]

Go and see Clive at Motorcycle Biz. He is at Brandy Hill near Raymond Terrace.  What he doesnt know about bikes and Teneres in particular aint worth knowing IMHO.  I got him to supply and fit mine and couldnt be happier.

Transplanted a switched power fuse block from my Versys to the T7. Hooked up a USB charger plug with voltage indicator which got installed on the RHS of the dash. Managed to do it with only taking of the side panel, very fiddly though.

 

Also installed some Koso Apollo heated grips and hooked them up to said fuse box. Didn't use the supplied glue but opted for some hairspray. Have been using that method for years without issues.

 

Mounted some Lomo crash bars bags to the OEM crash bars. The Yam crash bars wouldn't have been my first choice, but they came with the bike (bought second hand with 2500km on the clock).

What are the front buckles like on the Wolfman? I assume they're similar. It just seemed easier to unbuckle the back, but I'll give it a go from the front

They are the same as the back.   1" Fastex buckle.  Male on the free end,  female on the bag.   Can we still use "Male/ female" to describe that?  Ummm... non binary gender neutral attachment point?

I added a powerlet socket to the right size of the dash. Wired directly to the battery for heated vest and battery tending. Note to anyone else looking to do this, the 48" Powerlet "kit" is the perfect length for our bikes. 

Also installed Oxford Adventure heated grips while I had everything apart, wired into the OEM plug on the right side. 

What's the polarity orientation of that plug?  What color wire is + and  - ?

The plug is a 3 wire plug. I only used the solid red wire and the black wire. Black being ground and red being power.

[Baggey22]

Definitely needed the heated grips today!

Oh thanks.   I hadn't actually looked at the plug yet.   I assumed the wiring would be non typical colors.  I feel dumb now!

It's gonna transform the bike for you, let us know!

Yep, 90nm spring did a great job. The bike feels quality now and rides a lot nicer on and off-road

Just to clarify for anyone else, when I asked I was inquiring about the two wire accessory plug, not the three wire.  The wiring for the two wire is brown w/ yellow stripe + and black - .

Hi from Italy, here my first mods:

 

barkbusters

luggage support GIVISR2145

Shido battery (-2.0 kg)

metal seat link (to unify the rear and the front part of the seat)

voltmeter, with 2 USB ports and switch

SP connect phone support (on the upper bar)

wolfmoto support on the handlebar (for future gps... see later)

 

[MeefZah]

I hammered out a ton of stuff over the past few days.  Essentially, everything I plan to do to this machine, short of new tires.

 

My goals were / are to keep the machine fast and nimble while adding the basic stuff I need for protection, repair, and light travel.  

 

To that end, I installed:

 

Hepco Becker centerstand

Hepco Becker lower crash bars

Wolfman tank bag (I tried two models both of which were on other bikes I've had, I like the larger 'Explorer Lite' better than the smaller unknown model one)

RAM mount on the windshield cross bar with BMW Navigator 5 wired to acc plug (edit,  later removed for a MotoPumps 12mm bar mount, not shown)

RAM ball on handlebar mount for 2nd GPS / phone / whatever

Oxford heated grips

Battery tender w/ 15A fuse upgrade (for air pump)

 

I also did the break-in service, adjusted the suspension to my weight (kinda) and for comfort, removed the pass pegs and filled the holes with short bolts, adjusted the throttle free play and clutch free play, set the chain correctly, marked important bolts with paint and / or Loctite'd some of them, built a tool kit (with a rear seat mounted Wolfman enduro tool pack, not shown), cut off the sidestand nub, and added the same O-ring'd valve caps with core removal tool built in that I have on all my machines (not shown).

A mere thirty nine cents

I've got to get cracking and install some more of the farkles lying around this weekend. I have two moto camping ADV off road rides planned with some friends next month.

 

Two small products installed after work these last couple of days.

 

Installed the TST Industries LED Flasher Relay (RLYG2).

 

I installed through the top of the bike by just removing the seats. It was not necessary to remove the right side cover to gain access to the relay. Plenty of relay and wiring access from the top of the bike, with the seats removed.

 

TST relay fits in the same mounting spot as the factory unit, just reuse the rubber mount from the factory relay.

 

Now my LEDs indicators and hazards blink at a perfect rate without the resistors. Perfect replacement for the factory relay, drops right in.

 

=================

 

I also replaced the cheap factory chain roller guides on the bike as they just have a metal sleeve, the factory ones do not have bearings. Facebook link with videos of the issue.

 

I replaced them with Outlaw Racing 34 X 28mm chain roller guides with sealed bearings. They are a perfect fit and the installation was cake.

Upgrades made to my new tenere 700

 

 

Acd Racing bashplate

HPcorse short titanium carbon slipon

yamaha radiator guard 

yamaha chainguard 

yamaha chain slider

yamaha side grips / tank pad

yamaha T7 rally half waffle grips

perfect fairings carbon front fender

R&G display protection

Dunlop trailmax mission tires.

 

i am very happy with all my extras

in regards of quality looks and function.

 

 I have tried to complete the rally Concept look.

Aluminum and carbon take looks to the next level in my opinion.

 

The downside is high price on most parts. But quality costs:)

 

 

 

 

 

[alpha3aax]

T7 upgrades so far...

 

SW Motech top and side racks (side racks are removable which is super nice)

 

Barkbusters handguards.

 

Cool Covers Seat cover (i was surprised at how well this works!)

T7Rally Foot Pegs - 30mm lower and 15mm back.  Really difficult to install!

 

More is in the mail....

New T7 as of two weeks. Installed a Hepco and Becker center stand so I could work on it. Also a Tusk rear rack/pannier system. Best new part was a MotoZ Tractionator front tire. That thing rocks! Rode a lot of dirt single track today, and it was awesome. It did just fine on the hard road, too. It wasn't noisy, and didn't wander. I couldn't tell it from the stock Perelli on pavement, and it is massively better in the dirt. Bike works great! Need a knobby rear tire now, though. Don't like the stocker. I can't reliably power slide because it breaks free unpredictably. No good side knobs.

Here are some photos of my GPS SUPPORT.

 

DIY GPS SUPPORT:

- a piece of plastic

- two handlebar supports (by MOTOWOLF)

- a specific RAM support 

- a Galaxy Active Tab 2 (by Samsung)

 

I already tried this tablet solution in my previous bike, and now it was time to place it on my T7.

The problem is the weight; I thought it was too much for the top bar (12mm), so I changed my target place to the middle of the handlebar.
