This is a second video from Tenere 700 series. Epic, amazing , awesome Portugal has it all, from open fast tracks to technical rock climbs and descends. I am riding with Filip testing new suspension 48mm front conversion and new rear shock from Tractive supplied and fitted T-Tech Suspension that was fitted to both bikes.

I am still exploring options to find a suitable adventure bike to give my 950 easier life as it is 20 years old and I don't think I should be treating it has hard as I did previously. So let's explore Tenere 700 will this be the bike that I am looking for ?

KTM 950 Adventure first ride after rebuild - Welsh trip in snow
Просмотров 5 тыс.Год назад
This time 950 is back on the road along many 990s and few others. Welsh trails are providing loads of fun specially with snow still around hard couple of days but definitely worth it.
She's back ! KTM 950 Adventure is finally rebuild

After many months my 950 adventure is back ! Delayed wiring loom delivery, mistakes and other issues set me back for so long. I had so many mixed emotions highs, lows, success and disappointment was part of the process. It was all worth it as it still makes me smile.

Can this 790 Adventure R replace my 950 Adventure project bike ?
Просмотров 3,7 тыс.2 года назад
My personal view on 790 after few hundred miles on it. After Rally Albania 950 need complete new wiring loom so I was looking for a new ride.
You're a really good rider, man! 👌
@@DohanyTamas Thanks buddy I appreciate it 👍🏻
Wicked.
GS owners r u here?😮😮😮
@@remu2763 probably not many 😉 this trail is pretty steep and had big rocks and ruts people normally do this one down hill and mainly on enduro bikes.
Nice! Where are those lanes?
@@miro_s Hi buddy they are around Usk in South Wales
Hardcore!
we do try to make it hard for ourselves 😉
Lol AJ, you nutter! 😂😂✊🏻✊🏻
mistakes where made 😅🤣
madness. :)
It was great fun 😂
Fair play for getting up there.💪 Been looking forward to this video to hear your comparisons, I'm fairly new to 'big bikes' and love my 950 but reliability is always hanging over me. Currently the T7 is the only contender as a worthy replacement. What are the sky blue hand guards are you using? A mate has a collection of old Yamaha ITs and a matching T7 rally, he wants some.🤣 We run a campsite up near Machynlleth, if you're up this way and want to camp hit me up.👍
They are Barkbusters but previous owner painted the to match the bike 😉 Send me a message on Instagram @ajkukwa am sure I will be going back up your neck of the woods there is plenty of great riding out there 👍🏻
@@HeavyEnduroAdventures message sent.👍
Well done AJ, 790 tank probably still be wedged in the rut😂 Is this near you?
Not far from me thats around Usk, it was very tight even lads on 2T was scrapping the bank with the pipes
Shoulda had my CRF250 😏.
Its going to be a number of years before I get to lighter bikes been there already and am not convinced
Great vid and really appreciate the 950 comparisons. You touched on exactly where I am these days. I've been on a 990 since 08 (no 950s available any where) riding similar trails to what you seem to like up in forests and mountains of Washington state. There is something fun about putting big bikes in small places and hearing you huff and puff while bulldogging that bike brought back fun and painful memories. :) The grin factor you mention on the LC8s are hard to beat and there is something very special about those bikes when they are snorting up a rocky hill or running balls out on fast gravel. The maintenance however does suck and at 15 years old, I'm not as confident out in the sesert or way up iin the mountains here in Utah. So, I've been looking at a replacement due to similar reasons you stated. I must say however, it is killing me. Every time I'm on BeDyG (Big Dumb Grin) the idea of letting her go is killing me. I'll definitely be watching your content more closely as you dial in your T7. It is certainly on my short list...especially as I push 60. Thanks for posting! As a side note and maybe a tip for light enduro riders moving to big bikes on single track: While in my 990 years ago, I got into a narrow gully similar to the one you show at the end of the vid at the bottom of a 500 meter hill when the width got too narrow to pass. My buddy and I then spent 2 hours pulling it back up hill. I usually would walk unfamiliar narrow downhill routes to be sure there were no stoppers . I always carry a stick as wide as my bike to test tight spots in the trail . I checked the route all the way to a clearing, and then rode down. Well, as I was riding through narrowest part (similar to 12:30 in your vid) the sand compressed, and my 2 inches of clearance left and right disappeared. With no physical means to turn the bike around, we had to pull it back up hill. It was a good lesson for someone who thought they had it all figured out. Getting a 500+_ lb bike out of a down hill stopper is not the same as your 200lb 2-stroke. Cheers!
Thanks buddy, there definitely some wise words in your comment. I do share the sentiment for 9x0 bikes they are awesome machines but the sands of time a talking their tool on them. I was puffing like a good one when I eventually got out this one is definitely memorable one 😂 I am in process of upgrading couple of things on T7 so riding should get a little better again.
There's nothing on a 990 that can't be rebuilt if needed! Keep it alive if you like it.
@@colinbowman8816 agreed is true that you can rebuild everything well most things.
Great content. What suspension front and rear do you have?
@@SB-Kiwi Front is modified 48mm KYB forks with 265mm of travel you can use motocross or enduro for for that with custom bottoms on fork and new billet triple clamps. Rear is fully adjustable Tractive shock. That also provides increased ride hight of 25mm. It is pretty sweet highly recommended 👌🏻
IF YOU WANT MORE POWER OUT OF YOUR T7 I AM SELLING SOME PARTS TO EVERY T7 RIDER THAT WANTS MORE POWER.. I HAVE 74.6HP AT THE BACK WHEEL. ELTORN450 IS USING THEM AS WELL. MAX TORQE DROPS TO 5300 REVES AND HOLD THERE TO 8000 REVS. HAVE A TALK TO BARRY FURBER AT DC AUTOS IN NEWTOWN POWYS MID WALES . ROLLING ROAD. HE IS RACING IN THE TT HE HAS GOT A T7 ENGINE IN HIS SUPER TWIN. I HAVE A MOD DONE BY HIM AND WITH OUR PARTS T7 WAKES UP BIG TIME.
What parts did you end up fitting to get more out of T7 ?
that lane looks brutal. noway i have the skill to even attempt it my my t7. But my tdubz hell yeah
It was brutal alright 😅
You captured it very well. best wishes ! Great footage Come back soon.
Thanks buddy
I currently ride a 2017 KTM 1090R and was actually considering buying a 2004 KTM 950 Adventure S, but after watching this and other videos, it seems these bikes are simply too complex for my level of mechanic skills to maintain it properly. Thank you for sharing this information.
Wish you could have actually compared it (plus/minus) more to the 950. . . overall feel, comfort, rideable hooliganism, etc. maybe soon?
That will be a follow up video 👍🏻
Th 950/990 is the benchmark for big off road bikes in my opinion....tough to beat.
Those gnarly downhill sections look like mountain bike trails. Crazy taking a Tenere through them. Kudos to you guys!
Thank you for your comment, we don’t give in on big bikes. The truth is that we rode through tracks like this on KTM 950 Adventure bikes so Tenere feels pretty good out there 👍🏻
holy shit respect, i would shit my pants even with my mtb haha
We love it, hard technical riding that provides a smile on the face is always welcome 😁
@@HeavyEnduroAdventures haha i see, i will start with just gravel, getting my first bike this month, vstrom 800 :D good and safe riding!
I also have the 950 adv but I'm looking to change the original handlebar for a more enduro one...did you change it?
I use rental fat bars 609 it works well for me because I am quite tall.
10:01 damn thats a work out pick it up twice within a few mins..
Yeah she does way a fair bit 😏
you guys are crazy... Super difficult track!
Thanks buddy 👍🏻
thats some tough terrain for a T700. good job!
Thanks
Amazing! Love how capable the T7 i in the hands of a good driver! In March I will be driving the Tet Portugal myself, which tire did you use there? Atm im have the Bridgestone Ax41, but thinking of a more aggresive one would be better, for arround 70% offroad?
I was running mitas e09 and to be fair if the weather is dry you can probably get away with your tyres as there is plenty of grip available however if it gets wet it might not be so good. If you like tough trails Portugal definitely has a few of them 😉 Thanks
I wish your camera was a little bit higher so we could see the terrain. Your windshield/ phone blocks it. Excellent video though.
I don’t usually record from a chest mount but after changing helmets that’s the only thing I had available, thanks for pointing it out 👍🏻
I just bought a 2006 950. I’ve never rode adventure bikes before, but I am super stoked to start out on a 950. Thanks for all of your great videos.
Thanks for kind words, to be fair I started my Adventure riding on a 950 😉
I have a 990 Dakar. I’ve been doing ADV for quite some time and I’ve test ridden almost all the modern offerings. THIS IS THE KING. LONG LIVE THE 950/990.
@@brandenhellman4381 I don't disagree with you my friend 950 is my favourite but I am simply looking at it from another angle. T7 is just newer, more reliable, economical and easier to ride. Saying that my heart is with 950 is simply amazing when is going well and I am sorry to say but I am not a fan of 990 because of fuel injection. However 9x0 is an iconic bike that's for sure.
@@HeavyEnduroAdventures I completely respect you and I completely respect your decision! I have one of your HE clutch cases from Hard Enduro - Triple Clamp and I have religiously followed you. You are definitely a 950 expert and if you choose to pick any bike, I would always be interested in knowing why and confidently that it’sa good choice. I think the T7 is a fabulous platform, but I wish that Aprilia had a better dealer network. I’m excited to see where you take this.
@@brandenhellman4381 I do like the Aprilia Tuareg and as a stock bike is better than T7. I got friends owning them and I am watching very carefully how they are going to be on reliability front in couple of years.
welcome to my country, where TET here is not for boys... only for true adventurers. nice content!
it is awesome, we are going back for some more 👍🏻
My daily driver is a 2008 Superenduro 950R , enough said , its a 15 year old bike ,and built tough .
They did build them well back then for sure
Cześć. Gdzie kupię uchwyt do amortyzatora skrętu? W 4 k aktualnie nie mają.
Hej całkiem możliwe ze mam w garażu uchwyt od Triple Clamp Moto musiał bym zobaczyć, oczywiście nowe są dostępne na ich stronie.
@@HeavyEnduroAdventures Niestety nowych na stronie 4k parti specjali na razie nie ma. Jeżeli masz taki, nie potrzebny to chętnie odkupię.
@@piotrkoper3273 4K napewno nie mam jak juz to ten od TripleClampMoto
@@HeavyEnduroAdventures No nic. Coś może sam ulepię.
Really awesome... ;)
Thanks buddy
What bags do you use ? Great video 👌
Thanks buddy, Giant loop coyote is my main bag and a roll bag for camping gear plus couple of possibilities pouches
Yeah I had to see how you felt because i just got a T7 and my 1290 SA-R is just sitting there looking at me as I consistently ride off on the T7. I’m worried I may sell the KTM😆. It is really fun but I like more challenging off road riding In which the T7 is a better option. I do miss the power though.
I think its one of those things when you have to accept the compromise as it is completely different riding style
that trail would suck on a regualr dirtbike, nice job!
It’s definitely challenging 😉
Is that your TE250i? Any videos coming on some enduro rides?
That's on my 950 adventure, there will be videos of enduro/trail rides on my T7
Nice front fender on the darker bike! What brad is ti?
polisport sm fender I believe
you dismissed Aprilia for potentially being unreliable after you had a KTM?
The 950/990 platfroms were very rugged and reliable. . . and still are!
Ktm must re produced the 950/990 platform. Is the best bike for enduro, for adventure trip for road trip for one or two person's
I don't believe this is ever going to happen but it would be nice
So true! The ''you cant ever have enough bikes'' once you are hit with the bike virus you just want to buy more n more and justify them by ohh but i can use this one for that and the other one for something else XD
I feel the same way about my KTM 300 exc LOL I do have a question i am looking into buying a 950/990 any tips to look out for and i know you are somewhat joking about KTM's breaking down but also not really hahah so how bad is it owning one and is it worth it? Specially because im quite green to the offroad scene and fixing bikes myself. Hope you have great upcoming holidays!
To be fair they are pretty high maintenance bikes if you want it to be reliable, some of them are absolutely trouble free and others well... just break down a lot and a lot of that is down to poor maintenance history. If you like working on your bike then get it as it is an amazing bike. But if you not prepared to work on it and learn it is probably no the bike for you. When it works its a epic bike that's for sure.
@@HeavyEnduroAdventures oh i am willing to learn how to do work on bikes i just suck at it for now because i dont do much of it and have not alot of experience haha but ive been dealing with a few issues on my ktm 300 exc and i like it *after i fixed it but sometimes i just want to burn the bike to the ground 😅 thank you for the info i seen a nice adventure s its a 2003 one with around 70000km on it is that a big worry? also i cant seem to find much differences between the 2003 later 04/05 models are they basically all the same just different colour specs? sorry for the lots of questions i dmed you on instagram but dont feel the need to answer i dont want to take up to much of your time with this i appreciate it tho! *Ps Merry Christmas and happy 'early' new year sorry for my bad English haha*
@@ZauxieMoto I just seen your message check your inbox 👍🏻
@@HeavyEnduroAdventures You are a great guy thank you very much for all the info and helping a *fairly* new member of the AVD riders! Looking forward to seeing you rip your bikes more in upcoming videos!
Stay on the pegs.
hello sir which year for the 85 sx guards please?
2003 -2017 I believe but you will need to to mod them slightly
@@HeavyEnduroAdventures yes sir thank you have a good week
have you raised suspension?..wt is seat height now...which is that high mudguard
No idea to be honest I am tall so it never bothered me.
are you wearing tech 10s? what's the rest of your protection gear?
oh those are sidis!
sidi crossfire 3 great boots Klim Dakar gear, Klim Krios pro helmet and Alpinestars body armour
maybe you want to change your heated grips for a steering damper 😋.
this is where a steering damper really woulld shine i guess. but awesome riding anyways!
Heated grips have been fitted when I bought the bike as it was first proper trip I didn’t fit the steering dampener (I got one on the shelf) I wanted to see how bike behaved and make improvements from there 😉
love this stuf, great rides, sub!
Thanks buddy
Nice👍😃
Quality content
Since you are in Portugal, try the new AJP Pr7, you can go directly to the factory that produces them, something unique to see 💪
Thanks for the tip!
I saw a post on the FB TET page with you too at the last part of the video! Hope you enjoyed th North of Portugal! Hardcore but tons of fun!
A steering damper would have helped? In the rocky bits I mean
Already on the shelf waiting to be fitted 😉
