Hello everyone,
Just picked up my 2025 Ténéré 700. First bike ever, so I’m still in that phase where I keep walking into the garage just to look at it.
I’m in Dubai, so the timing is both great and terrible. Great because I finally have the bike. Terrible because summer is coming, and by July/August the weather here turns into an air fryer.
Because of that, I’m planning to keep it stock for now, focus on the break-in period, and get as much seat time as I can without becoming part of the pavement.
Later, once the weather becomes human again, I’ll start looking into some mods. Maybe a Seat Concepts seat and an Akrapovič, but nothing crazy yet.
I’m completely new to riding, so any beginner tips, must-know advice, or things you wish you knew earlier would be really appreciated.
Happy to join the community.
