Do you miss Gizmos?

[ninot7]

I came to the Tenere from an R1200gsa and a tracer9gt. The latter was bursting with tech, riding modes, emu options etc you name it. The only thing i missed was the proper cruise control - however, having tried the Kaoko on a recent long trip, i dont miss a thing!

Ah! thought I was being dull or missing out.

Thats one of the reasons I bought the t7.

Exactly the reason I bought mine was no gizmos.  Although, I'm coming from 80's and 90's Honda's with drum brakes so even working brakes are gizmos for me haha

I added heated grips, GPS and a throttle lock. That's all the gizmos I need.

Honestly, the only 2 things that I wish I could bring to my T7 from the other bikes are the extra 30-40hp and the ability to switch off only the rear ABS. I guess the lower center of gravity of the 890, could be cool too.

Nope, not at all, I love the T7’s simplicity, however I have added a kaoko ( spelling ? ) friction cruise control for motorway use, perfect !!

Does it fit with the stock / aftermarket handguards, did you have to rearrange some things or is it a simple bolt on part?

 

Much interested in some pics if possible..

Well, I also have Yamaha Heated Grips, so I had to cut down the Heated Grip spacer by a few mm, however, without Heated Grips it would have been a super easy bolt on fit. I don’t have any fitting pics. It really does transform long motorway riding.

Oh, and yes stock handguards fit back as standard, perfect fit.

One feature I would like is phone connection to ECO without adding the OBD11 module. that's it other that that I bough this for simplicity and also only gizmo I like is ABS. Fuel Injection is nice
