    Done. Wish I'd seen this before I bought the Rally Raid solution. I was never happy with the Rally Raid solution as you can feel the pillion seat binding on the top of the pegs when you fit it and there is wear on the seat material where it wraps around the plastic base. There is no binding with this hack. Thanks mate.

    • @TheRiderGuider

    I subbed . Thought you were going to show us how to lower it an inch or so . Had to have the dealership put the lowering linkage on but not the lower seat option . After a couple 1-2 mph tip overs as I was turning sharp and slowly I thought well I better just get it lowered . She's a top heavy bike and even though I am 6' tall I have short legs and a tall torso . Just now have it at the first 600 mile service so once I have it back I can relax a bit watching the tach . One thing is for sure is the stock tires are poop offroad or at least in my aunt's flat 5 acre gopher hole riddled field , felt like riding on ice . Was laughing the whole time !

    • @TheRiderGuider
      @TheRiderGuider  3 года назад +1

      Well thanks for joining my modest channel 🙏 ... appreciated. I’ve been riding decades but actual off road and proper adventure riding is a newer experience for me. I’m surrounding myself with some seriously good riders and learning quick, one of the things that surprised me was how low they have their tyre (tire) pressures. 12 - 15 psi when they’re on the loose stuff. Made quite the difference with my standard rubber, but I will definitely be going with some more aggressive tread in the near future 👍🏼 ...
      As for seat height, it’s a minefield for people finding the right personal set-up. No one person is the same, I’m more than comfortable with the standard height and I’m barely 5’8” and 70kgs!

    Please give some thought on how to reduce seat hight!!

    • @TheRiderGuider
      @TheRiderGuider  3 года назад +1

      Haha. YEH 👍🏼 thanks for watching. I think the best and cheapest option maybe to get the Yamaha lower suspension links. They aren’t expensive. I’m not tall at all, and the more I ride the less I feel I need to lower it. So I suggest stick with it as standard if you can. I love the fact it’s the standard height and I’m less than 173cm tall. How tall are you?

    If Yamaha see this they'll be able to save money on Allen keys, and reduce the price of their bikes by at least 10p.

      Hahahah yeh - they could put the savings towards maybe supplying a useful tool kit with the bike! Can't believe I've just discovered there's no tools to remove the wheels! New hack required I reckon. Thanks for watching @dogfish180 :-D

    Whats your height and inseam? Looking to get this bike but nervous about the height and being in lockdown I can't try one.

    • @TheRiderGuider
      @TheRiderGuider  3 года назад

      Zak, hello mate, this is an interesting question that definitely needs some consideration. Firstly, I’m 172cm (not tall), my inseam ... just had Mrs Rider Guider measure from my crotch to the floor whilst wearing my trusty Adidas Samba, 76cm. Now, of course, we have to look at a few other things, I weigh 70kgs, heavier riders will of course utilise (squash down) more suspension travel, and the standard T7 has some ‘sag’ to take into consideration which takes up some of the travel even without sitting on it. On my test ride, I initially found the bike quite tall, tip toes, but the more I rode, the less this became an issue, I’ve been around a while on two wheels and nowadays have no issue with any bike height (just lucky to have ridden a lot of different stuff) so wouldn’t consider even going for the lowered suspension but that is an option that isn’t expensive. What’s your height/inseam etc?

    • @TheRiderGuider
      @TheRiderGuider  3 года назад +1

      You’ll be fine mate, it gets more comfortable the more you ride it. If you’ve been riding a while and pretty confident, I’d suggest going standard height for a couple of weeks or maybe until your first service, you might (like me) decide it’s just fine as is? You’ll love it either way. Not expensive going for the lowered option I don’t think though.

      The seat removal requires the use of a allen key to undo two bolts to get access to the airfilter and battery. This makes it a simple tool free system. Quick and easy.
