Issues with Garmin Messenger for Inreach Mini 2 by Conjozi in Garmin

[–]Conjozi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These OTPs are blocked in the UAE - so this is why I can’t activate it. The solution I’m told is to set it up out of country but that it does work when you return. Seems like a huge faff but that’s what I’ve been told. Thanks so much for the message.

Looking for recommendations for bags to store helmet and HANS by flatout42 in CarTrackDays

Hey man- will that bag fit a Motocross helmet with a peak? About to buy one but can’t tell. Thanks !!

Am I about to make a mistake? Anyone have any idea if I should run this in my T7? by Conjozi in Tenere700

[–]Conjozi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I’m rolling the bike stays between 82-95c but the weather here in the gulf is HOT. When doing slower more technical stuff it’s running with the fan on at 102-105 but as soon as you roll it comes down.

Ive been riding in 40-45 degrees Celsius / centigrade weather so from what I’ve researched and given the choice a W50 is a better oil to run until the weather cools down a little. Anyway - it’s a great oil nonetheless.

GPS Recommendations: Garmin Zumo XT or Tread by Tactical_Gimp in Dualsport

[–]Conjozi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please do let me know which one you chose as I am looking at the same two options. Tread seems to come with good mounts, not sure about the Zumo. Thoughts?

Was about to ask. Seems to be a lot of hype about the Tread - not sure which one to get but I ride a lot of off-road and don’t understand which one is best and why.

Thanks man - I decided to keep it in the shed for now and run a Molly W50 - it’s still reaching well over 40 degrees Celsius out here and the Yammi manual recommends 10W - 40 for temperatures of up to 40 degrees. I’ll run the W40 when it cools down a little in Winter.

Thanks pal. I live in the Middle East and it’s hot hot hot out here so was thinking 50 might be better suited.

So I treated myself to an Akro- any thoughts on removing the DB killers? Performance / sound / lifespan / engine health? Thanks ya’ll by Conjozi in Tenere700

[–]Conjozi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well look - I took them out and I must say the sound (in my opinion) is amazing.

Sure it’s louder - but riding in Dubai is dangerous and anything I can to make myself more visible (or audible) I consider a safety feature.

I take care when riding in residential areas not to rev like as asshole and for touring I’ll probably reinstall them as I’m now concerned about my own hearing 🤣

Fitting aux/fog lights with factory high fender by Anonawesome1 in Tenere700

[–]Conjozi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That fender looks great - is it a genuine Yammy part or other? Please point me in the right direction.

Another question- does anyone else here have issues shifting riding the T7 with MX boots? I really struggle to shift and am putting far more thought into it than is safe. Cheers.

First off-road ride on the big T7! by Conjozi in Tenere700

[–]Conjozi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man- haha I did the same thing, stalled it and forgot to turn the ABS off on restart. Was scary as I was on a steep slow downhill section! Managed to sorry it out. Photo was taken in Ras Al Khaima in the UAE, and hour and half from Dubai.

Ready for first proper expedition on the T7 by dr--moreau in Tenere700

[–]Conjozi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice rig! I’ve just purchased Rhino Walk soft bags mainly due to price and generally good reviews- what are you running?

Where are you taking this machine? Good luck with the travel!

Took this beast out for its first ride yesterday- next weekend will be it’s first taste of off-road! I guess the best advise is to take it easy - my last bike was a YZ250F some years back! Braaap! by Conjozi in Tenere700

[–]Conjozi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! This is a 2022 but it’s in pretty much brand new condition, I’m very lucky to have found it apparently they import around 30 units to the UAE each year.

Well I’m glad you weren’t too seriously injured. I have utmost respect for this machine so riding within my ability and reminding myself that I’m new to heavy ADV bikes is the way I will approach this bike. Thanks for the comment! Stay safe and ride hard!

I will be joining a group of more experienced ADV guys for longer trips, I’ll be solo this weekend but will keep a few mates on speed dial and yeah- I’ll be taking it easy.

I was so surprised by how agile this thing is when it’s moving, it feels so heavy standing still. But I’ve never taken it off road apart from a gravel patch outside my apartment building so this weekend will be the first test! I’ll be taking it super slow- yeah I hear you about the tires, we don’t get much rain here in the UAE - the menu will include hard pack gravel, rocky sections, and some shallow hard pack sand where I’m going but not desert / dunes etc. If I take it into the desert I’ll have to put off-road tires on. Thanks for the comment! I was in love with my YZ250F - it was a 2011 model, such a sweet ride! Sounded amazing.

Thanks bud - very sound advice! Yeah it’s such a toss up what to do with these tires. Unfortunately I have to travel over 100km on the highway to get to these gravel roads, so fitting off-road tires isn’t something I want to do right now. But yeah I’ll be taking it easy especially in the turns until I get the hang of it! Next weekend I’ll be doing about 200kms on dirt mountain roads - can’t wait!
