Yamaha T700 Tenere owners thread

Fwiw. I was quite impressed with the uni pre-filter I had on another bike, so I got one for this bike. I found I seldom had to clean the main air cleaner, the pre-filter would catch most of it and it was easy to clean.

Is there anyone that has heated grips on the Rally edition?

Anyone try the dirtracks?

This guy just installed a set. Look decent and the price is right

I watched that a bit earlier, they do look good and quite a bit cheaper than most

For SoCal, you are correct, most stealers I contacted were quoting $12.5 -$13K. I got mine at Capitol in Sacramento for $11,500 ish OTD and understand that Berkley Yamaha has fair pricing as well. If in LA, a 8 hr round trip to save $1,000 - $1,500 might be worth it to some.

FYI.....

I was a bit surprised by the 474lb weight with 1/4 tank of fuel. But then I saw the center stand and bars. Pretty cool how much weight they stripped off!

While the new "pipe" sounds pretty kewl, I would never go that loud.

Can anyone recommend a bar from Pro Taper that fits? Pro Taper Evo? YZ high?

I want a new black and stronger bar. I know that off de road web site sells the Evo adventure high and low plus another one for the Tenere 700.

I want it to be equal as the stock, but could be a tad higher.

Any of the Evo or Contour bars will “fit” it’s just a question of what bend you want. The Windham/RM mid is my favourite bend...relatively tall with very little sweep.

And I go for the lowest possible renthal, the low mcgrath bend (there are two mcgraths).

All preferences.

Thanks.

Ordered one of theese. Have you mounted it on a Tenere 700?

I guess I'll have to make threads inside so my Acerbic handguards will fit. Also the stock bars have small holes drilled for the switch units. I have to choose by drilling holes in the Pro Taper or grind off the knobs on the units?

Haven’t put one on my T7 yet, but I ran that bar on my previous three bikes (Super T, XR650R, KTM690) with good results. One will be going on the 700 this winter for sure. If you don’t have the expanding clamps for the handguards then yes you will have to thread them. As for the switch units, my preference is to grind off the tabs and then use a little electrical tape around the bar to give them more grip and keep them from rotating. That way you have more adjustability in case you need to change their placement down the road, and you aren’t creating a weak point by drilling holes in the bar.

Just changed my springs to 6.3s from HyperPro.

Thanks for your photos. They were helpful.
I had to remove my bars because the HDB clamps were in the way. Other than that...










Now for the testing!

Good job! I'm glad to help.

Sorry for digging up this old post, but could you tell me which kit you got off ebay to fit the Yamaha key to the Givi case? I've got the 42L Outback from Givi, since it's exactly the same as the Yamaha OEM topcase, only 150 euro's cheaper. Well, I say exactly the same..only the lock mechanism appears to be different. So really curious to find out how you managed to fix this.

Thanks!
