So nice! Can you tell me where he got the camouflage wrap from please? Also, did the swinging arms stickers come with the wrap, or separate. Thanks for the video 🙏. Greetings from Portugal, World Raid rider.

You need some graphics Johannes. I know a guy...

For anyone watching this video and having the same problem, ECU reflash is the solution. There are multiple companies globally that can assist, but Yuri Mechanical in Toowoomba QLD (Australia) is a great place to start - you can mail in your ECU and have it flashed. For EU peoples, Junction 33 Developments are also highly recommended.

Just back from 700km(320km on dirt) 4 day ride.2 x koves on trip.I have off road experience. The 2x Koves go as fast as you could reasonably go on an adventure trip with luggage. IMHO the PR7 is a better bike off road and closer to an enduro bike but stick 25kg on the rear and its out of balance.... If you put 25kg+ of luggage on any enduro bike,it wont handle like an enduro bike anymore,not really. loaded with luggage will always be loaded with luggage.

Great video. Looking for new pegs for my newly bought 701 Enduro. I am 193 cm so i need more leg spaces. Also got big feet. Thinking about Bosley pegs with 30mm lowering. Ref to your other video, would you stick with standard position or would you move them some mm backwards? Thanks for awsome content.

definitely better with the dongle , but shuts off in first occasionally ... getting a p commander when warranties up

The balancing the weight thing I would suggest to dig deeper into it. To me it seems nonsense, as the manufacturer of the bike would ensure that the bike is balanced. I would more go for „same weight on both sides“.

does anyone know what kind of resistor you need to make a dongle yourself?

Light is always better… The t7 is a top heavy monster, it’s only popular for 2 reasons 1. It was the first midrange twin that was considered reliable 2. T7 fanbois who had the original.

Funny video. 😅 I hope I can ride with you guys one time! Please answer my questions in the how to pack light video! ❤

I never had problems with my tent, which has inner and outer tent together. I am now on a Robens Voyager EX2, but will buy the Hilleberg Rogen 2. I am also looking for the best shoes to bring. I always had those mongoloid looking ones, which look are made out of rope or so. The thing is, actually I want waterproof ones as well, I am heavy, so need a good, stable sole as well but I don't want the bulky and heavy shoes. Did you find a solution yet, buddy?

Thanks for the tip with the orange little, mobile washing machine! I've done so many kilometers on TET and so on and never knew about it. ❤

I scored a good deal ($500) on a closeout Klim Krios and like it, but I really like the $200 I spent on the closeout Fly Composite. I use the Fly setup for local rides and the Krios for multi-day stuff and colder days. I like this better than the $850 I was looking to spend on a Shoei to cover it all (that is a damn nice helmet, though) The Fly feels safest and fits my head best ever.

Isn't it about finding your personal unicorn? For each person that will be different. Some find it on their first and only bike and others search endlessly. My search thus far: 2018 R 1200 GSA -> 2020 R1250 GSA -> 2021 KTM 890R + KTM 500 EXC-F -> 2023 KTM 890R + 2023 Husq 701E. Right now it is looking like the 701E is going to end up as my unicorn. Good luck. And no matter which bike you are on (Harley Road Glide or a 701 etc.), crossing the Great Plains of the United States on pavement/tarmac in 100 degree Fahrenheit is a struggle, yet I always look back fondly on it even though it may have sucked in the moment. Every journey will have its ups and downs regardless of the bike. Find one that lets you enjoy your favorite parts of the journey the most -- without the low the high never comes.

Could you use a pin wire and locate in pin connector holes to bypass.

great customer service here too

Meanwhile itchyboots rides her little 300 around the world and she will continue when she is healed up i just wish she would partner up with someone so she isn’t alone all the time. You did a great job with your video

Looks fantastic but my closest dealer is an 8 hour drive, with the next closest being 10 hours. T7 takes the win with Yamaha's dealer network.

I've got purchased the same solution for my BMW R1200 GS LC. Together with the Wunderlinq device I can control my Active Tab with the BMW-Wonder wheel and it works very well.

Light isn't always right but it is if you've dropped your fully loaded bike on a steep hill. I'm lucky enough to have several bikes and if it's technical and there's a chance of dropping the bike then light is the only choice

Dust you say? Better to be safe than sorry? Best you do some extended testing in Australia. Nobody does dust like outback Australia. I can promise you that!

how about vibrations? Can the tab handle it?

Check out "Project200 ISO 5011 air filter test", a scientific comparison of different air filter types. Both cotton and foam filters are nowhere near the filtration capability of stock fiber filters. The obsession the ADV comunity has with fiddeling about with their air intakes is mind boggling.

A week ago I had a tip over with my T7 and got my foot stuck under the bike. Luckily I didn’t brake anything. I was wearing motorcycle ankle boots. And they offered no protection at all! My foot got squeezed and it hurt like hell! I was lucky, but now i want some boots I can trust if I get unlucky again. I’ll be looking at the T7 drystar and hope they will protect me.

cotton guaze filters are only good for stopping gravel and birds. not an adequate filter.

hi I have an AJP PR 7 bought new and received at the end of September 2023 I have just returned from a 3500km solo raid in Morocco. she has, as one might say, bit the dust. no problems to date it has 8500 km now I checked the valve clearance twice at 1000km and 8500 km. 0.15/0.16 on the exhaust and 0.13/0.13 on the intake. I haven't had any problems with dust. I think it's a very bad idea to add grease to the edge of the junction in the event of high heat. The latter will melt and get inside. It happened to a guy and it's guaranteed to clog. . on the other hand, I put a fabric filter on top of the original air filter. I also fitted the GUGLATECH fuel pump protection kit which includes a filter to put over the fuel pump filter and a large fuel filter to replace the very small plastic fuel filter. the aim being to have better filtration in order to avoid clogging the micro filter of the injector. www.guglatech.com/en/fuel/88-ajp-pr7-fuel-filter-kit-mazinga-mfpmaj-00.html

I was advised by Heather Sinclair that the Australians use a Funnel Webb pre filter. Specifically designed for their local bull dust. She rode a PR7 across the USA.

Good tip. I’ll check my air filter tomorrow. Have an awesome trip. Cheers

ruclips.net/video/7YrAfMLgzWQ/видео.html I find these video , i hope is interesting for you. In Slovenia parts of TET are Illegal, i know i pay fine.

Have an amazing but safe trip Johannes (and there's nothing wrong that I can see with your upholstery skill set...) 🙂

Aren’t those water exit hoses / tubes? Just in case water finds its way into the air box, it has a way to drain out?

Never seen a air box connection with just a O ring and no clamp of some sort.

I found your humble, honest appraisal of your mechanical abilities to be refreshing. Question, why couldn’t you use tape to seal the filter to the box?

See you Sunday mate 🥳 I’m NOT as well prepared, I may or may not have time to do the most basic preparations but hey, it’s a T7, should be fine 😅 Can’t wait for our next adventure

can't you zip-ty those clear hoses? then they will still collect water.

Have an amazing, dust free trip Johannes 😁

With tip number 2, be careful blocking the water hoses from the inside, in case that said block loosens and may potentially end up in engine - no bueno 😉

Mud mud mud.

There is no all purpose bike as there is no all purpose tire. Sure you can ride a compromise that you can take everywhere or you get dedicated bikes for the full dedicated fun.

Do you love the travel to a place, or the ride once you get to the place? That is a key to understanding if you prefer the comfort of a big bike, or the performance of a small bike. I use to think I had to love both to be a true ADV guy. I have accepted two things. A.) I love to get into sticky situations that challenge my skills. B.) I tend to brake things .... A + B = Small Bike with Car/Trailer.

Aprilia puts all the marketing money in MotoGp now and this hinders true campaigns with real and potential customers, neither they have a true marketing team, who would regularly remind the audience and follow up. This shows not only with the Tuareg but the other products. Being an Italian smallish company they resemble many other Italian vehicle manufacturers' story - great engineering and products, design and the focus fades out there - because the next thing you need doing after making the right thing, is telling everybody about it. I wish they could all come around and successfully develop these activities of their companies, as they compete on global and against others who do fulfill the other elements of branding. Look at KTM or Yamaha, they are small ones too!

I dont care about road comfort. Its all about the off road sections for me so I suffer the road to revel in the dirt on my 500 light adv!

Great to see you out there making videos Johannes :) I told you that the 790 / 890 was an interesting platform !

Good to see you, dude!

Here in Europe, to me a +200kg bike does not make any sense offroad: we are not in australia or north Africa, here in Europe it rain 3 season out of 4, there aren't real deserts and it is plenty of mountains, so the only adv bike that make sense is an enduro bike with bigger fuel tank and a comfy seat. Even outside Europe many people that seriously travel the world mostly offroad, choose an enduro bike (Aaron Steinmann or rtwpaul, just 2 example). The issue with big bikes is not only the fatigue and the impracticability of many trails, but also the higher risk of very bad injuries: doesn't matter how strong you are, a +200kg bike that roll over you can easily crash your rib cage or break your neck. Moreover, in order to be able to tackle very rugged terrains, skills are not enough on a big bike, you also need narrow rims and enduro tyres (you don't think that Paul Tarres, in order to do the crazy stuff that he do on a t7, he use dual tyres?), but with enduro tyres and narrow rims the bike became more uncomfortable and unstable on tarmac at speed and also the mileage you can do with a set of tyres decrease a lot. Thats what i learned in my own experience, coming from a 701 and then downsizing my adv bike to a 500 exc with bigger fuel tank.

Another good video; thanks. You made an important point: The bike doesn't matter, that much; the main thing is to get out there, ideally with your buds. That said, studying, trying, and owning different bikes is part of the fun, isn't it? I know you get this. I currently have a Beta 300, a DR650, and an XR650R. I'm planning to sell the XR and replace it with a KTM 450 XCF-W, which is mapped to be much easier to ride than the usual 450. Try one if you get a chance!

Is there something about the 701 that you prefer to the PR7? I believe the weight is the same but the 701 has more electronics and power. Is one more comfortable than the other? Is the PR7 more linear in its power delivery? Agree that the bike you have is the best one, whichever that might be.

You are absolutely right. A lot of the time we get so hung up on choosing a bike we forget about the fun we will have even if we get a scooter with knobbies. Sure there needs to be some consideration but, just get out and have fun. Now, when choosing a second bike to add to the garage, yeah that should take some time. On the other hand, there are WAY more bikes to choose from nowadays than 5 years ago.

A really good solution would be to convince KTM to fit a larger sump on the a 350 or 500 motor, so as to greatly extend the service interval, and slightly detune said 350 or 500 motor. Finish off this ultimate dual sport by fitting a rear cushion hub to the otherwise stock EXCF chassis.
