I mean, I'm not Pol Tarres 🤣

@@BrakeMagazine not Pol Tarres.....yet!

Yeah, that comment came off quite poorly.

Arrogant, just plain out arrogant!

Absolute pleasure. Please make sure you check out the final episode in the series. There is a ton of your exhaust sounding incredible. 🙌

@@BrakeMagazine We appreciate you!

Soon!

Thanks Peter!

You're welcome!

Interesting. Do you use ear plugs? I can see that for sure.

@@BrakeMagazine I like to recommend and use "concert" ear plugs (filters).. they have a canal in the middle to allow sound through. Not as good as regular ear plugs, but also not drowning out the sounds around you or your headset speakers.

Puhoozy

Glad I could help. Took me a while to figure it out 😂

Thanks for watching!

🤣🤣

Why? 🙂

Чем плохи защитные дуги? При падении хорошо защищают корпус и мотор от поломки.

Thanks Blade! It kinda varies. More tech riding uses more it seems. Somewhere around 35 UK mpg from memory.

@@BrakeMagazine sorry not living in her majesty's or yehaaw unit areas 35 UK mpg that is about 8 L/100km ... is that about right? Does this mean that the average fuel consumption nearly doubled? Or does this only apply when (ab)using it hard offroad? If it would be the general average, it would mean, that the bike would have only about 200km fuel range, which would be pretty harsh for travel ;)

@@MathiasKarlssonErik well since the bike consumes an avg between 4.4 and 5.5 l/100km, depending on how and where you ride it, that means there's an increase of about 50-60%. It should be less when on-road, because you can use higher gears and not stress the engine as much. You also have more air in the tyres. I think it's ok, if you don't wanna have it properly tunned. (I'm not an expert. I'm only using general knowledge of the subject)

It's great hey!

I have one on mine ;)

Or worse, bending/shearing the subframe, nicking the swingarm, smashing the exhaust 🤯

Keeping the muffler high doesn't put it out of harms reach. We chose the mid mount as it fits the lines of the bike better and it allows for panniers. Just FYI :)

@@yoshimuracycling the exhaust in its stock position hits the ground by default if the bike falls. Moving the exhaust to a higher position will improve this issue and there are plenty of lugage systems thay will fit a high exhaust (mosko moto as an example). Not for nothing off road bikes tend to have high exhausts.

@@agus8080 Touché!

Thanks! It is a nice place to ride.

I see that's a common mod but the stock hight one didn't bother me 😊

Although it is too noisy, try Michelin Tracker. This tyre is very good in wet conditions.

@@ChristosKalfas It is a great tyre but it'd be pretty short live on this bike I think.

Monday in one week!

Can’t wait Llel - I’m on my second T7 now, such a great bike!

Yes, I will in future Episodes.

We're looking at. I have a new computer on the way. Need a bit more cash flow for the HDD space 🤣

@@BrakeMagazine yay! haha yep it's madness how much space 4k footage takes up! AtB :)

@@BrakeMagazine I'd argue we're not really missing anything with 1080; it means your vids play on any old device even with modest net speeds very easily. I watch on a huge screen and everything looks pretty good to me. Spend the money on bike gear!🤣

Enjoy!

and coaches dirt riding i think? 😄

We changed the filter in the first episode 😊 I can't say I noticed much difference. Also, thanks for the kind words!¹

I bought the Camel ADV high exhaust system and never looked back: sounds good, looks good and is well out of the way.

I'm not really convinced either way. It is maybe a bit cleaner but I didn't do a ton of road miles.

Absolutely. As long at the balance of the bike is good front to rear it should be fine. I think realistically the best ADV bike is the one you're comfortable riding and a lowered T7 is probably a good shout. As height it a worry for you, I'd also consider two other things. One, talk to a proper suspension shop in your country about getting the suspension lowered internally so the forks can match the shock. Big improvement. Secondly, the T7 is a wonderful bike. It is slightly top heavy. This will be better when lower, but I would also consider the Aprilia and the KTM 890. They will be equally good, if not better off road and have lower centre's of gravity and feel more planted. The T& has a very nice low power for off-road, but so does the Aprilia. Either way, you have some great options there and suspension shop will 100% be the best place to advise on the options.

You're allowed to name and shame. The point of the this one is that you can either auto map it or upload official maps. That's pretty lean to have that happen though 😩😩

@@BrakeMagazine Probably yes but my goal was to get it to 13.2 AFR but the wideband sensor malfunctioned after some time. I played with rich AFRs, never reaching even 14. The leanest I tested was something like 13.7 for the second (fuel economy) map. The richest 13 so I was thinking I was always on the safe side. Little did I know. PCV and Autotune (single channel) combo on a 2009 990 Adventure R. P.S. The system was on the bike for more than 5 years.

Thanks! Appreciate that. So I use a Canon R6 to film, with a GoPro and a Mavic Air2S. I carry them in a Shimoda Explore 40 backpack. It's kinda pricey but it's the best piece of kit I've ever bought. 😊

@@BrakeMagazine thanks a lot for the Answer :) arent You afraid to fall on the bag and the Camera gear? and why do You upload in 1080P when using such a high value Camera? sworry for all tzhe questioning but im really trying to step up my (Video) game and you seem to have solved the Problem im Standing in front of Greet from Germany :)

Same!!

I think the main difference is the ability inside the closed loop and the auto mapping. The closed loop is the part where the ECU normally uses the 02 sensor.

I have no data other than the Data sheet.

If you watch episode three, the Rally Raid is similar to the KTECH but not as good as replacing the internals with a cartridge l. That's not to say it couldn't be with a revalve but I have no experience of that. As for which bike, depends on what you wanna do with your bike. What do you wanna do?

Yes. The design of it mean it will work in the closed loop section of the fuelling. This isn't the case with a lot of other piggy back fellers and was the main reason I chose it.

Mostly. It wasn't perfect but it was a lot better.

Not perfectly, but a lot.

Till they were flush. Much better balance and stability.

@@BrakeMagazine approx how many cm?

You do not need to modify it. You may want a computer just to check that it is in auto mode. :)

Flush to the chamfered edge of the gold.

Episode One.

I don't know for sure. In theory around 80hp.

@@BrakeMagazine 10-4. Any plan to dyno?

The next two Mondays in a row 🙂

@@BrakeMagazine Good morning - I hope you are well?- Think this message (yamahamotorEurope1) is a scram as been asked for personal information but will not confirm their details of being a Yamaha employee and who they are. I know this is something out of your control but thought you ought to be aware of it - all the best and keep the content going as really enjoy it

@@tonylynn9726 It is a sam. Yamaha nor myself will ever ask for any info on Telegram.

@@BrakeMagazine - thank you - thought so myself - just wanted you guys to know 👍👍

I think you've misunderstood, I completely agree with you.. I manually changed the fulling in the software to see what happened. The auto setting is much richer as you say, and it worked much better, but you can do what you want and yes it uses more fuel. Quite a bit.

I would argue the engine is much more rideable though. The power is strong but also really easy to find grip with. It's a different thing really.

@@BrakeMagazine At 7000 miles on my 890R, Its hard to imagine a smoother torquier easier to ride engine........out on road it goes really well also....the electrical package is really useful for finding traction...its a different thing for sure.....T7 is just more the built to a certain cost thing.

@@bradsanders6954 I like base platform bikes because they draw the most aftermarket support which makes customization almost endless to suit your individual taste/style. I also am not a fan of bikes with lots of tech as I always feel less connected to the bike and what’s going on under it. Rider aids like TC causes you to become dependent and sort of lazy as a rider. These are only my opinions but it’s just an example of why it’s great there are so many great options to choose from in terms of budget, performance and expectations and stock enhancements vs aftermarket. There is always something for everyone out there and each one offers enjoyment. That, I’m sure, is something we all can agree on. ✌️

I find it rare that welded products fit perfectly but I'm also not a sender backer of things!

On Patreon 🤣 Coming some point soon to KZfaq.

You mean, all the mid sized bikes with the same power figures as the AT?

Kind words.

Wr250r will smash anything

Depends what you’re doing.

a little touring, day to day riding with a few trails here and there. @@BrakeMagazine

@@gibb013 Probably the world raid. The more you ride long distances, the better the AT is. The more off-road or small roads, the the T7 is better.

On the ECU? Because it’s able to work in the closed loop section of the fuelling and I don’t believe a flash will perform to the same level. It’ll help but it doesn’t have any kind of control for you the end user either.

@@BrakeMagazine Nobody watching you channel is gonna have the skill to tune the bike better than someone that has done thousands of them.

That's why you buy one that Auto tunes based on how you ride, where you are and uses the sensors on the bike. You wake up grumpy today or something?

@@BrakeMagazine “Auto tunes based on how you ride” That is ridiculous. People are going to waste their money on this snake oil you’re selling them when they’d be better suited sending their ECU into a professional.

I’m not selling snake oil. Fuck man, who pissed in your coffee?*edit* comment extended below. I think you actually need a proper response here. You’re clearly new to what I do and how I do it and for some reason you’re grumpy about it. Firstly, this whole series was designed to be more detailed and try the products. I have zero affiliation with the brand that make the ECU. I reviewed it as I see fit. In my opinion and experience I feel it does some unique things. I tried the stock map it comes with which is equivalent to a flash. I tried it alone and with an exhaust system. I mapped it myself in the simple and the complex way and I tried the auto adjust map. You can feel it refuelling over the first few days. It changes quite significantly. It’s a clever piece of tech that takes the bikes existing Lambda sensor and uses it to measure the air fuel ratio similar to the way a dyno does. Because of that, and the way it connects to the bike the Rapid Bike in theory, is able to work inside the closed loop, the section of the fuelling at low throttle and RPM and have an effect. A Flash on the ECU is probably a good option if that is available and the tuner has a good rep. When I made this series none were available. This solution also allowed me to fit an exhaust and do nothing, not have another reflash. Do I think it perfect? No. I think it is a cool solution with some pros and cons. Am I selling it? No. I am not paid or sponsored by them. In every review we do now, we also declare exactly where the money we earn comes from, what is sponsored, what is given for PR and what so buy or make profit from. It is 100% open. I am one of the only channels to do this in motorcycles. I do not know why you feel like being. I am a one person independent KZfaqr trying to make content even vaguely on the level of multi million pound shops and doing it in the most open and transparent way possible. If you don’t like it don’t watch it, but just treat people on the internet like you want to be treated. It might be a keyboard you’re writing on but the people making this stuff are still human.

Depends what you’re comparing it too, but I don’t disagree. It’s great for a big bike, shit compared to an enduro bike unless it’s a hill climb.

We can't afford a dyno.

I unplugged it.

I do really love these comments. Yamaha don't give me a penny. They let me use their bike and that is it. I have a video planned about this subject.

@@BrakeMagazine Thanks for disclosing it. I look forward to that video. I question everything. Once I know that I can trust you, I will 100% be your loyal supporter.

Mmm, I don't agree. It's better at somethings and worse at others. This is easier to ride in a trials way.

@@BrakeMagazine is it bc it doesn't have the adv plastics and windshield? Can you ,elaborate thanks

I've had both as well, the T7 is better in some areas, the 690/701 is better at others. I agree with Brake, the T7 is better at slow technical stuff. The 690 is better at open field full smash type stuff.

@@MeerkatADV Interesting. I would not have expected that. (I'm a 701 owner). Thanks for the insight.

That means 31% dont use it. The point is, its mad to not have an option. I'm really bot an apple fan boy 😂

😂

Aren’t all windows custom sized? 🤣🤣

@@BrakeMagazine No

Firstly, I just twigged you were talking about OS's. It's 73% use windows. Secondly, all windows are custom sizes. Does that make my house more special or less? I don't expect them to, but it'd be nice. www.checkatrade.com/blog/expert-advice/standard-window-sizes/#:~:text=As%20such%20there%27s%20no%20minimum,of%20light%20needed%20will%20vary.

@@BrakeMagazine First off, I said 99% of people. Besides, I admit that I exaggerated to make a point. 3/4 of the population uses Windows OS by your own admission. My point still stands. Secondly, your imrightdotcom article said that you can get custom size windows. You said all windows are custom size. As someone that has worked in the construction trade I can assure you that most windows are not custom sizes. Home Depot alone stocks millions of pre-made windows.

Maybe this is a British thing. Our equivalent of home depot doesn’t sell windows at all. Anyway, me wanting an apple capable version of the software doesn’t mean I think I’m special 😂😂
