Always good to see when someone goes over their bike, Video's of owners going over their bikes every now and then will be good and also what they carry. 👍
For the big trail bike community, this is one of the best selling bike in Brazil. It is cheaper than the BMW GS and Brazilian riders are used to Yamaha XT family, just like the Teneres from 80s... maybe this is the reason why some many Brazilians riders are here to watch this video. ..
+Motorcycle Adventure Dirtbike TV We love this bike!! kkkkkk But in Brazil he had many problems, plastics broken, airbox entering dust and motorcycles burning oil. Made many people give up buying it.
great video, thanks Greg. just picked up a tenere, been busy setting it up to go away on. Love to see you guys do more tenere technical and ride videos, there doesnt seem to be a lot of good quality stuff out there (apart from your high country test series, also great) looking forward to doing a trip with you guys in the near future.
While I would buy an XT660, I don't know how popular this motorcycle would be in the US. That's a shame because it seems like a machine that is as fun as it is capable. It seems that the XT660 also has something many Japanese bikes lack: Spark, excitement, that 'X-Factor, which makes it interesting.
Good Hints! as i have the same motorcycle since 5 year and made a lot of "adventures" can i share with you some other good things to do? (you can find a lot of video on my channel if you want) You can slip off down the Forks from the Clamps about 5mm, this is good for the balance of the bike cause when is standard is really set up on the front. Another Advice is to change the rear shock spring with one softer, like the purple hyperpro. The best is also to change the rear wheel to 18'' in order have the possibility to put some enduro specialistic tyres. With these changes the Ténéré is ready to go everywhere.. Good video BTW, i've made the same protection of the cooling Hose with an used air chamber insted of a Grip :) cheers to all
Юрий Ануфриев maybe he loves everything related to motorcycling..even me i own a yamaha and a bmw but i have kawasaki ktm and honda clothing..i love motorcycles
Why do people cry so much about the height of the Tenere? I have never ridden one before but the seat height is 8cm lower than my ktm 350, and I have no problems riding my ktm and I am only 170cm tall, so I am sure it would be no problem at all riding the low tenere
+Breno Are my friend ADV riders are thinking about weight, lots of it; tents, extra fuel, camping gear. When you wobble with that amount of crap on your bike you want to be able to put your foot firmly on the ground.
Gday fellas, You say you use water proof grease in the Reg/Rec plug. Would that be CRC Di-electric grease ? & it is used "IN" the plug ? Just want to make sure Im doing the right thing on my 2012 Tenna. Top video to guys.
Thinking to get the xt660z after I crashed my 990 adventure. :( Seems like a pocket friendlier option maintenance, fuel consumption and reliability-wise. Big compromise in power though.
Hey there! Had the XT660Z for 3 years, and now on a 990 ADV for the last 18 months+- Dont go there... The Yamaha is nice, but comparing the KTM, emmmm... I would wait for the new Honda Africa that should be coming soon. In addition, KTM are preparing some kind of a mid size twin engine machine that is compared to the BMW GS800. Good Luck~!
I'm really looking forward to the new Honda! Saw it couple of months ago on a bike show. Looks pretty amazing, however I need something til then. Not to mention it will be a brand new bike, so I would rather wait a year or two to allow it to grow out its weaknesses. I guess I'll test ride a Tenere and see it for myself. Thx for your advice and enjoy riding your KTM!
+dr FeelGood You obviously don't understand British humour with relation to our Australian cousins. If you are reading this you probably now realise you just made a complete ass of yourself with your foul language. ;)
G'day Motorcycle Adventure Dirtbike TV. Looking at selling my road bike to purchase a Tenere. Where are you guys located and what was the overall cost of build on the first bike?
+MultiBadBass I built one up for Greg a few years ago, before we got into developing the stock shock. Greg now swaps his Ohlins from bike to bike. I'sd like to get it off him as it's pretty tired and doesn't work very well any more but he's a hard man to catch.
Hi Guys, great video ,advice and mods.. Can you recommend anyone in the way out west town of Perth to carry out the suspension mods.. ? I know Teknik have a drive in drive out set up.. in Sydney
I went to look at one of these yesterday and i really want one... But I had to climb it to get on.. I'm not small.. I'm average height.. About 5.10 is there any way of lowering it slightly? As I can plant toes on the floor on it, but I need more of a stable footing, also how does the bike handle with bags and pillion?
I would presume this is an xt660?.. single ? over here in the States, we have only ktm 690 and klr 650, bmw 650 too...wish they would bring them over....
Wrench you're totally wrong mate :) this bike was made and designed in Italy by Belgarda, in fact the model till 2010 was made in Italy, after 2010 they moved the production in Spain. No one knows why they don't sell this in the US..
Sir Fedswith, you're correct. Dam it, now we're going to have to do it all again! There was a few stuff ups with this interview. Notice the sound at the beginning. I guess we'll have to take the Tenere's out in the bush and test that shock out.
how much money this guys spend on aftermarket parts??? more then the bike cost it self? wow... I got two options for 2nd hand bikes, one 2012 XT660Z (Tenere) model for 5000 euros and the next one is the XT660X witch is 2005 model and it cost 3500 euros.... I know that I like the 2012 XT660Z model more but can you tell me is it worth the extra money (its the same engine with 35kw power)p.s. the 2005 XT660X is supermoto :p
The Tenere 660z from Brazil has chronic cracking defects in the cowlings and the blinkers also break easily, the 660z of you Europeans have these problems?
is it really worth to throw that much money at a yamaha? why not put a bigger tank / windscreen on a KTM 690 Enduro? better deal, isnt it? if you dont wana risk getting a KTM then there's BMW's F 800 GS which doesnt weigh much more than the Yamaha.
Best regards sincerely Dear Sir The Yamaha Luxury Company thanks you, appreciation and respect for these outstanding and distinctive models that fascinate us every year I dream my life i get a bike like xtz660 tenere dream of my life i have like her and i collect a lot of pictures about her on my computer. So help me to get it by installments and I was established in Morocco in the city of Fez I hope you will be like me I beg you I am following you on RU-vid, Google Plus, Alvis and website I am at your disposal in something
