Triple Clamp & Steering Stem Removal - Yamaha Tenere 700

Hi guys !
A little guide on steering stem / triple clamp removal.
I do this for cleaning and regressing the bearings, now you can too :)
It's not that hard, just a few things to think about when putting it back.
The lower lock ring nut has to be tighten to 75 Nm, the loosen and tighten to 7Nm.
Join me for some tips and tricks.

Thank you. Your video is very easy to follow. I used it as my guide for checking and greasing the steering stem bearings.

Good job Markus. O-T- R has a nice set of billet triple clamps. 43 and 48's. I'll get you the info on the adjustable hook spanner with torque ability

I would welcome links/infos to both too 🙂

Marcus, your videos are the best. Love how you dive into everything!! Quick question about the risers, are there rubber dampers in the top triple where the riser bolts go through? -Or anything flexible in the riser assembly? I'm just over 4k on my T7 and I moved the bars slightly back and now I have a noticeable (but small) movement where the riser meets the top triple. I checked the bolts and they appear to be tight. It does look like there are rubber inserts in the video. I can't tell from my shop manual and your video has the best "view" of the assembly. Thanks!!

Thanks bud! The rubber inserts is in the top tripple indeed. You might just need to tighten the dome nut from underneath.

I believe my lower steering bracket became bent in an accident, do you know where I can get a replacement?

[@everythingtenere]

I would contact triple clamp USA

This is the bit I don't understand in the specifications it says 135 nm to seat the bottom steering bearing but then says in so many words back off nut so it's like hand tight 🤔👍I drilled corner on my nut then the handlebar stem and lockwired so not loose nut 🤔👍

[@everythingtenere]

The lower lock nut is just 75NM and the loosen a few deq and tighten to 7NM. I mean this is just to not have to much clamp pressure between the two bearings, as you feel the friction when over tighten. The steering head too nut is 134 and will keep everything in place however we do 😅. Smart move there, you won’t loose it 👌

[@skarebsuper]

@@everythingtenere i think it should be 7.5nm and definitely not 75nm?

[@everythingtenere]

@@skarebsuper yea, not 75 😂. The big nut is 135, the two smaller cog looking lock nuts is done over in two goes.

[@skybluetenere]

Well explained and recorded, Marcus 👍🏼 Did you had the chance to write down the bearing sizes 🤔

[@everythingtenere]

I did not, my bad… damit. But I think it might be mentioned on OTR, their bearings are not that pricy
