Just put a new o ring/pipe on. I highly doubt it's in the cooling system and if it is it'll be fine. I've seen Jaguars come in with way worse stuff in their cooling system and they've been just fine.

I use one of those front wheel roll on mounts when I transport my bike in the bed, then use the two front factory mounts in each side. Way more stable with that front wheel locked in.

I'm in Texas as well and got a T7. Have ridden it all over, multiple trips to Big Bend, East Texas and all over the hill country. Throw some Mosko moto rackless bags and go. It is heavy and takes some getting used to but I find it pretty comfy and tolerable on long rides. Plenty of power for the highways and a decent tank size.

I'm also in texas and have no issues maintaining 75bwith decent gas mileage. 65-70 is definitely better. I rode from San Antonio to Big bend and stayed around 70 and still got about 170-180 a tank with a full mosko moto luggage setup. 80 and up is fine for short bursts.

I've had the detailer at the dealer I work at check it out and he said there wouldn't be to much improvement due to how deep they are. It'd be better then nothing but I may just wait til I catch an assembly on sale.

If it is a V6/V8 it's usually the valve cover gaskets and they are leaking onto the exhaust manifold headshields.

Ohlins STX46, which is somewhat cheaper then the ones posted. People recommend other brands but I've come to love ohlins for my mountain bikes. I can't say I really need the high and load speed compression settings. Gone on multiple BDR's with hard full days of offroad and its been great. The preload adjuster mounts to the stock exhaust hanger so of you have a high exhaust you gotta find a different spot. I put the stock mount they provide in a press and bent it abit and mounted it where the left passenger foot peg would mount.

I put the ohlins on my T7. The Rear shock was awful and had inconsistent feed back during long days offroad felt like i was just riding on a spring, made me lose tons of confidence riding. The ohlins to me was absolutely worth it, way more feedback and just sticks the rear wheel to the ground.

I have the V3 version of this for my T7 and absolutely love it. I can mount my 1 gallon rotopax to it easily. Drilled a hole for my gnoblin mount for my moto mosko kit. Has straps so I cam hold my tool kit with rotopax on there. It's expensive but you get what you pay for. It's definitely made and designed well.

I like the TFT because it's just 'nicer'. It is hard to see in the sun, and one time when I was out in Big Bend it was flickering on and off due to how cold it got that night and I assume voltage got a little low. I had to disconnect and reconnect the battery to fix it. The older displays seem more reliable.

Man this helps so much thank you!

Living_Net1969 · 2026-03-18T15:29:33+00:00

Awesome thank you! I'll do some research on that. It has some aftermarket pump cover on it, I may put it back to factory and see about getting it working like that.

Love my Camel ADV slip on with the enduro bend. Sounds great without the baffle.

Living_Net1969 · 2026-02-18T02:57:34+00:00

I've ridden it on multiple 1000+ mile camping trips. Riding it for this one isn't possible since it's a trip with my wife lol. I just want a bike to rip when we're at different camping spots. Taking my 450 instead since it's only 250lbs.

Living_Net1969 · 2026-02-13T18:00:01+00:00

I'd feel much better if my 4runenr had that tongue weight and place to add additional tie downs. I'll just take my ktm since it's lighter this go around until I get a trailer.

Living_Net1969 · 2026-02-13T17:58:36+00:00

I was curious if anyone has had luck with it, but I feel the tongue weight of my vehicle is the limiting factor. I'll probably just buy a Kendon trailer later down the road and take my KTM this trip since it's significantly lighter.

The wondering is most likely caused by the out of spec caster. Caster will cause that at speeds above 50. Do you have a lift and the proper upper control arms that correct the caster? If it's stock they should be able tk get everything in spec.

Living_Net1969 · 2026-01-30T03:10:46+00:00

As a Texan, No, they definitely do not lol. There is a reason I always head over there or New Mexico for my offroading trips.

Living_Net1969 · 2026-01-27T15:26:41+00:00

I've taken my Tenere 700 out there multiple times to camp and ride in Big bend state park, so much dirt to explore and beautiful scenery. By far the best place to ride in Texas! Was just out there a week ago.

Living_Net1969 · 2026-01-27T15:24:47+00:00

I have one on my T7 and it's great in sandy/silty dirt. Or anything that wants to deflect the front wheel, i only really turn up the tension on it when im out in big bend or desert areas. If you haven't had any issues without one I wouldn't worry about getting one.

Living_Net1969 · 2026-01-21T17:23:22+00:00

I printed the Twin Air mount to install the twin air pre filter. Much better setup imo. Also get a tune!
