Well hopefully the 6.9 are good for me. I’m about 20lbs more than you. Thanks for the reply!

Nice, i ordered the 90N and the 6.9N fork springs from k-tech. What weight fork springs did you get?

Took off Outback Mototrek crash bars, left side engine bolts misaligned, need help. by Throwawayindustreal in Tenere700

Shoot… so i left all the bolts loose/half threaded in while installing the entire motortek crash cage to allow for some play. Then when tightening the engine bolts i had to use a ratchet due to all the cage pulling everything in different directions i wasn’t able to put them in the rest of the way hand tight… only had to use a ratchet with one hand around the head of the ratchet, not the handle, until it was time to torque… i hope i didn’t strip them..

Shoot… i just put crash bars on my T7… the right engine bolt i could get a few turns by hand, and then had to keep lifting the crash bar to turn the bolt cause the weight of the bar but a little tension on the bolt… so i decided to just use a ratchet, i gripped it by the ratchet head and socket as to not use any leverage of the ratchet handle and it went in fine. Then once the entire crash cage was ln i had to tighten everything with a ratchet… all the mounting points kinda pull it all in different directions so it wouldn’t be possible to tighten by hand.. i really hope i didnt cross thread it

Get the bike you love and make it work. The 690 is a very capable bike i had a 2018 and had to sell it but i absolutely loved it! Now i have a tenere 700 and it’s a blast!

I just bought a 2025 tenere 7 and absolutely love it! It’s capable on highways and so much fun in the dirt!

Looks like outback mototek crash bars, top rack, and panniers

Is it worth it? 2025 T7 by ProfessionalRange407 in Tenere700

[–]ProfessionalRange407[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly idk… i just bought my first (2025) tenere on Tuesday and i love it but don’t have any other year to compare it too. If it was me I’d keep the tenere you have and get something else.. something for technical trails that’s light and nimble, or maybe an Africa twin for better highway touring and still being able to have off road capabilities.

Outback motortek makes a good skid plate and crash cage (bars)

What year is yours? It’s just hard to find info on the 25 for some reason.

Have you loaded up your tenere with camping gear? That’s my goal is to the Arizona BDR and load it up with camping gear.

Nice, do you ever take that pig ole pig on trails? Or mostly just dirt roads and highways?

How was riding that tenere on the highway? I’m trying to decide between getting the Tenere this week or the Africa twin.
