2022 Yamaha Tenere 700 (T7) Mods & Upgrades

[@porter5877]

Best looking t7 I've seen so far, awesome looking bike.

[@madhistory]

sweet !

[@benryals7475]

That T7 looks so good. I really like what you’ve done

[@uwestieneker7565]

Nice, thought-out modifications! Especially the exhaust replacement looks pretty good and technically removing the origin design issue. Well done!

[@Birdfeeder795]

Nice video. Can’t understand why this channel doesn’t have more subscribers. Hope it grows fast and big.

[@dprojecto1839]

Sorry, nothing to add. Its one of the most beautifull i've seen!

[@AndreyDermansky]

one of the best looking T700 I ever see good job

[@molluscturtle]

That exhaust is superb!

[@grantyoung3076]

Really the best looking T7 on the planet. Seriously. I'm going to make mine look just like yours!

[@fearlesswhetu4555]

The rear rack is from Perun Moto. Top gear.

[@blackiesmisadventures3413]

If you don’t like scratched I suggest you buy side panel grip pads for your knees and bottom frame protection for your boots rubbing

[@procesgnilny]

I like it. Some people can make T7 look lika a horror and completely tasteless, but your looks good and it's functional. I also like the original exhaust design look, but already wrecked my scorpion exhaust and bent the hanger, so trying to find a high mount exhaust that will fit with T7 Rally tail tidy.

[@mattfasso3220]

Cheers mate. I had to cut a bit out of my tail tidy for it to fit, the exhaust bracket uses the same mounting holes. Unless you get the Camel exhaust you may need to do the same with your tail tidy

[@motoric5188]

Your Tenere looks awesome! Great choice of upgrads! Congrats and wish you a lot of happy and safe kilometers!

[@chrisforbes]

Looks AWESOME! I love that exhaust being up high. I feel like Yamaha should have done that originally- the stock design is begging to be dented or broken if you drop it just once.

[@TimothyGreen-ko2vm]

Yes. Maybe they will revise the rear indicator / light set up as well.

[@alforno5240]

do the bags/cases still fit with a high one?

[@zspence77]

Bro, absolutely beautiful! Nice work!!!

[@TimothyGreen-ko2vm]

I really liked the mods, simple, practical and neat solutions. It makes me want a T7 all the sooner. Well explained too.

[@loup207]

Love the exhaust and bash plate. Thank you. Just picked up a 22 T7. Do not miss my AT.

[@TheFbiFilesRepeat]

Still in love?

[@ehiggins7476]

Love the build! Great job

[@jasonhill390]

Love everything you did mate, it really makes the whole bike come together. Sweet dude 👍 I want one exactly the same way

[@matteobonomi6706]

Nice job and result. What I think you're still missing is a chain guide, especially when you plan to use the T7 offroadin as you seem to. Necessary imho. Happy trails man!

[@LastCall534]

Absolutely beautiful bike, nice upgrades and great review! Well done👍👍

[@roderickmcintosh5641]

Beautiful work! Eventually I'll set mine up for more of a off road bias like this.

[@thomascogar8912]

If you could only do one thing, it’s got to be the tires! Looks great!

[@matthewcribb651]

Great info on the crash bars, thanks man

[@CYPBUNKE]

Nice, I like your style. Has helped me decided what do to. Yours would look even better with high front mudguard though (IMO).

[@danieltopperwien6239]

Mate, you’ve done a great job there. Like everyone else, I love that exhaust. It looks awesome. The whole look of your bike makes it look like a big WR. I think now after seeing what you’ve done, I’m going to sell my WR450 and get a T7. I still want to single trails here in SA & looking at your bike, I reckon yours would easily do that

[@bjjohnston3196]

looks good. how does it sound with that exhaust system

[@The_Arby]

Loving the Mods & Upgrades...Shame you didn't leave any links to the stuff you added ?

[@mattfasso3220]

Hey mate, that's a good idea that I didn't think about. I've updated the description above to include the names of manufacturers of all mods and links to access them. Hope this helps

[@The_Arby]

@@mattfasso3220 Nice one mate :-)

[@markfishersolosailing7033]

I just lowered my T7 World raid with lowering links, I'm so pleased that I did it, it's really boosted my confidence at low speeds and at standstill, the handling and riding position is the same and the bike feels much lighter and more manageable. I lowered it 40mm on the links and 18mm on the forks, I left the pre load the same but will have the option now to wind it up a bit if I load it up with panniers. The bike now feels great. I'm 6.1" so not short but it's made a huge difference.

[@stevewoodward7850]

Great mods mate and impressed with your T7, however l'm more impressed with how clean and uncluttered your garage looks...awesome lol.

[@Rossi593]

Matt, I think your bike looks superb. My only negative is actually the exhaust. Where it’s routed now is exactly what Yamaha should have done. The rear view of the bike is super skinny and not the afterthought that all but Ducati seem to go for. What is odd, though, is that the pipe is not in line with the silencer. It’s not by much but draws my eye. I’m guessing a compromise but a shame that something so neat isn’t perfect. I’ve noticed it on other bikes so it’s actually by design. I’m guessing it’s well tested by now?

[@DavorOh]

such a good looking bike!

[@elee9956]

Gorgeous and simple

[@cryptout]

Perfect mods, thanks for sharing

[@hoozleup]

Nice looking rig mate - well setup but... we need to have a talk about those shoes at the front of the garage at about 6:30. What's going on there? Gold Coast specials?

[@johnhendrick2296]

Bro, that is a sweet lookin ride!!!!!!

[@ssamorfati]

Cracker Bike Matt - nice one. Love that exhaust style.

[@shadowV22]

Good looking bike mate thanks!

[@markvaughn8096]

Nice looking facelift... Hope to join Team T7 in the future.. I just sold my KLR

[@markusscharax613]

Hello Matt, realy nice job. wich kind of Tires are thos?

[@benjowman]

Top review. Love the look. How do your tyres run on the road. Look epic just about to pull the trigger on an Extreme here in the UK 👍

[@kluper1157]

who's tires ? you left them out? looks good mate!

[@NorthWestEnduro]

Does the kreiga work ok with the exhaust passing so close the passenger pegs?

[@drpork1360]

Beautiful bike, man. It's missing the dirt bike fender for me, though! It would just complete the look.

[@lennartbon6223]

Hi Matt Fasso, great video! I own a 2023 T7 and I consider buying the hp corse high exhaust together with the kriega bags as well. However, the bags seems to be quite close to the exhaust which made me curious if that doesn't cause any problems with heat coming from the exhaust. Hope you've got some experience on this topic to help me out! Thanks in advance!

[@paullatsas5217]

How did you make the indicator mounts?

[@philippetavares3555]

Did you more vibration in the handle bar after the exhaust mod?

[@teatowel11]

Ive got the B&B compact rear rack and it interferes a bit with the kriega OS base (basically you need to get a super long bokt to put the mounting pegs or, as i am doing, undo the stitching in the webbing so you can feed it back through the cam to get them on/off. I've also got the B&B tail tiny which i love but annoying to realise that the high routed exhausts may not be compatible without mods. I wonder how the Camel one goes.

[@finnnation]

Looks awesome mate.

[@davehartsock9106]

Great looking bike. I plan on doing the same exhaust and thanks for the idea for the tail tidy. Cheer’s, rubber side down!

[@paulvercoe7591]

Great video mate 👍🙏 are you Sunny Coast?

[@Mopedwerk]

Hallo....nice Upgrades. But i didn' t understand wich Company has made the rearrack. I like it and where can i get it? Greetings

[@mattfasso3220]

Hey mate, below is a link to the company I bought it from torimoto.com.au/collections/perun-moto-racks-and-hard-parts/products/perun-moto-yamaha-tenere-700-top-luggage-rack

[@JohnSmith-ef8nr]

Nice rack, but would be crazy expensive to get one in the UK.

[@Mopedwerk]

Thanx for your answer. It is sold out at the perun motoshop...

[@thodoris3790]

awesome tenere!is this seat any comfier for traveling than the stock?couse the stock is wooden

[@m1cky6]

Looks sick 🤘

[@mattwilliams7454]

It looks great

[@lennartbon6223]

Nice video! Already purchased the kriega os bags? I was wondering if there is no problem in combining the hp corse high mount with these bags, considering the heat coming from the exhaust. Thanks in advance!

[@KarelDevolder]

Correct me if i am wrong but looks like rear wheel can touch exhaust in taking heavy bumpy off track roads?

[@littleDoughie]

I was thinking that myself, id be curious to know if thats the case

[@davidlia1102]

Looks awesome! I have the same 2022 bike. Thanks for the extra ideas.

[@JohnSmith-ef8nr]

Those exhausts sound great without the baffle, first thing I did when I got mine.

[@mattfasso3220]

How did you do that mate? There's no screw that easily remove it, did you drill out the rivets?

[@mattfasso3220]

Scratch that last message, just found out how to do it...WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Wow, so stoked you sent that message mate, it now has the sound I was expecting when I bought it

[@JohnSmith-ef8nr]

@@mattfasso3220 It's held by one spotweld under the the tailpipe, you can carefully drill it out with TI coated drill bits, start with 4mm and work up to 6mm and it should break free, you can then refit the baffle with a 6mm bolt if needed, its not too loud without it.

[@JohnSmith-ef8nr]

@@mattfasso3220 Yeah that's what I thought when I did mine, get someone to do a ride past on your bike or ride a short bit offroad without a crash helmet to hear it under load, I've got decat headers on as well.

[@algonzalez7192]

I love all the modifications. But you didn't mention anything about the rear suspension, was it came as a package with the front?

[@briancannamore8494]

Have you had any issues with your chain coming off while riding off road? I’ve heard other riders saying they put a chain guide in place to remedy the problem. The holes are actually pre drilled for the application.

[@timbuhler2012]

I do love that bash plate! I bought an AltRider basher but did not realize the 2022 had a new head pipe so it didn't fit. I will look seriously at the SRC.

[@TheSpragz]

Did you get the Kriega system? Did you have any problems with it being too close to the exhaust?

[@MotoTvWoodsFarm]

nice video cool - the bike is awesome

[@mattfasso3220]

Cheers mate!

[@MonsieurMegot]

Awesome. Never thought about Doubletake mirrors on Ram mount ?

[@kostasrestas]

For me ,Arrow titanium 72649PK slip on full exhaust with Dna stage 2 air filter is the best sound ever ! Cheers from Greece ! A Tenere 700 lover !

[@sergio1398]

...excelente montaje, protección inferior y el escape van genial, equipaste muy bien la Tenere, cuando joven tuve mi XT 500, Yamaha ha sabido mantener este caballo en las cilindradas adecuadas. Saludos desde Chile.

[@chriscooperCRF300]

Hi buddy, just watched your video, very nice. One thing you're definitely going to need if using off road is a dashboard support! They shake really bad and eventually break. Chris T7 owner 👍🏼

[@mattfasso3220]

Hey mate, I've tried to find a dashboard support online and can't see one. Could you please send me a link? Cheers mate

[@matthewwellner3776]

I just installed one from Camel Adv and it fit great. Certainly stiffens up the headlight and dash. Not sure if you can get it down there but worth a look. Your Bike is inspiring! Nice job

[@curtkautsch]

can that stock exhaust bracket be wacked off? looks out of place ....

[@Bradythelineman75]

Mate I swear you talked about the exact tire size you used, but can’t seem to find it.

[@whatupg1]

Thanks mate, beautiful bike. I have the 21 blue however prefer the 22 blue but not the price hike. Can you please give some details re your suspension setup spring weight and/ or valving changes. Cheers!

[@mattfasso3220]

Cheers mate!

[@ShaftDrive]

This video made me buy the PM rack and HP corse exhaust 😂

[@Isha048]

Wonderful bike! Congratulations! I love it! Great job! Much better than the original! Yamaha itself didn't do a good job, or it could do something a little bit more, but probably the goal was keeping a quite low price and if you want to have some more, you have to pay, no other chance. Thank you very much to share. Enjoy your fantastic bike! 💖

[@jeffcoulter7181]

Did you look at the World Raid, if yes what didn’t you like about it?

[@mattfasso3220]

In Australia we don't have access to the World Raid yet, but I would have been interested in it if it was. I'm not sure if it's for me with the greater weight, but I do like the longer range and longer suspension travel

[@auscamperfam115]

Bloody nice build mate, my only concern would still be the R/H indicator, I had something similar on my XR600 with what I thought was enough clearance for heat but still ended up melting it. Could you mount them under the rear rack? 👍👍👍👍👍

[@dalehawkes1698]

Looks mint I like the exhaust, is it noisy as I’m looking to change mine but don’t want to go loud ? 🏍🎉👍

[@mattfasso3220]

Hey mate, with the DB killer in it's only marginally louder than stock. I've removed it and much happier with the sound, I wouldn't say it's overly loud without it though

[@dalehawkes1698]

@@mattfasso3220 thanks for the reply 👍

[@algarvetrailridingtours]

Very nice more or less what I'm looking to do. Is the rear rack PERUN ? by any chance ? That's probably what I'm going for . Based in Portugal BTW.

Hey mate, I know that you can raise the preload and there are foot peg options to lower the peg height. The rally seat is 40mm taller as well which will help

Bike is looking good mate, I have the same exhaust and just drilled out the back also. Haven’t had a chance to ride it as my suspension is off being modified busy sounds good just at home. Need to get a bit welded onto the db killer now. I have a similar build to yours but with donner tech rear grab handles and rack. $$$ but so nice. Although the rear rack is pretty small so need to find a nice neat adaptor plate kinda like yours.
