That's a contradiction in terms a lot of riders use today no matter what country they live in.

If I go offroad there are no roads.

Good to know you help us not to make these faults again.

Could you just try and not be that guy?

I see what you mean but for us if there is no road you are not going there because where there's no road it's the dense boreal forest...a road is simply a path connecting two points.  For me I see offroad has a unmaintained road where no typical road vehicle can go on it because it is too rough or muddy, so a offroad vehicle is required to accessed it and that somewhat fit the definition because it is not a normal road.  For me a road will have a ditch on each side but it could been unmaintained for the last 75 years, if its beat up and washed out and over grown it is going offroad but still a road because it was built as a road.  A trail dose not have ditch's it is a cleared path or travelled path never intended for road vehicle which is also offroad very confusing I know.

Been itching to ride so I spent my morning chasing blue skies in the lowlands. At about two hours in I was pretty well chilled and headed home. Kinda want to go right back out again now that I'm in.

Looks good with that milk crate!

The green milk crate is an anti theft device...

The weather was a little above freezing point, rainy and stormy. The best for a nice ride in my home area.

What a great bike our T7 is! Although I'm not running the best onroad tires, the fun it delivers on tarmac again surprised me. Even more so since I've had my mapping optimized a bit.

@Tenerider Is a re-mapping a worth while?  Who, where, price cost?

Well, I'd say it's not necessary, but it's more fun. Fuel efficiency is a little bit worse in my case. I should say that I've added a different airbox inlet and filter as well, not sure what has the bigger effect, but there is definitely noticeable more mid-range torque. Plus, smoother transition from engine braking to acceleration, less jerky throttle (which I didn't find too jerky before).

 

ECU flash was done by Off-the-road.de, my local dealer:

THE FLASH - ECU Remapping Yamaha Tenere 700

---

Due to various homologation regulations, the Yamaha Tenere 700 is, unfortunately, delivered with some electronic power restrictions in various load…

 

A friend of mine has it installed for maybe half a year now, we both think it's nice to have, but both of us could live without it. It's not that the T7 felt underpowered to me before.

That being said, I'd do the ECU flash again.

 

P.S.: Mine is a Euro5 bike.

Nice late December 50 degree F temps in PA, coupled with rain to produce a bit of surface mud, made for a great ride today on the MABDR's section 5. A lot more precipitation is needed to restore the lake levels decimated by this summer's drought in this area.

Don't pray for water...

You might get heard.

 

Some areas in northern Germany are flooded in a way that people are forced to leave their homes for security reasons. And there's more rain to come. I'm lucky to live north of that area.

Always welcome mate!

A cool crisp morning. If it's going to be cold it might as well be pretty and white too.

Hello all!

Wanted to share my ride on Jan 11 before our cold (cold for me) weather kicked in. It was mid 40's (F) after some recent snow and then rain washing it away. This looks south across Cumberland Valley, Pennsylvania farmland. In the distance is the Mid Atlantic BDR coming off the mountain in the horizon. It heads north toward me and a bit west to the Tuscarora Mountains. I had plans to ride parts of it on the north side of the mountains but they were still snow covered  and I was not about to test the stock tires in snow! So it was 130 miles of asphalt riding with scouting for future dirt. Still a great ride!

(Sorry, not sure why the picture is sideways)
