In this video, rider and BDR team member Michael Bielecki gives a great overview of installing the Touratech Suspension Extreme Shock for the Yamaha Tenere 700 from Colorado Moto Service.
It’s a great video to watch just to see the overall process involved in installing your shocks. Our friends at ADV Moto magazine channel has a more in-depth (step by step) installation video available when you’re ready to get out the tools. You can find it here.
The Touratech Extreme Shock offers adjustable high-speed and low-speed compression damping, a remote fluid reservoir, high-flow fittings, adjustable rebound damping, floating piston superiority and low-friction seals which add up to a highly refined shock that can be tuned with precision to meet the riding style and handling characteristics you prefer. The Touratech Extreme Shock is over-built by design with heavy-duty materials, over-sized components, and 50% more spring pre-load adjustment than other shocks on the market.
The preload can be hydraulically adjusted by turning the knob with your hand. Touratech Suspension is the world’s first purpose-built shock absorber for long-distance touring with a fully-loaded motorcycle. Right out of the box, it has the strength, features and adjustments to go the distance on an adventure or touring bike carrying luggage. The Touratech Extreme Shock is the ultimate in suspension technology and the ideal choice for extended trips or off-road rides like a Backcountry Discovery Route.
For the rider who wants absolute control over suspension set-up and high performance, this is the product. If you want the best suspension on the planet for adventure touring with a fully-loaded T7, the Touratech Extreme is the top choice. Nothing else comes even close.
