Yamaha Ténéré 700 T7

The tenere 700 has quickly become one of the most popular adventure motorcycles on the market, and at Quill Performance Exhausts, we’ve developed a premium exhaust system specifically engineered to enhance this exceptional machine. Our Yamaha Ténéré 700 T7 exhaust system is designed for riders who demand both performance and reliability from their adventure bike, whether tackling challenging off-road terrain or cruising long motorway stretches.

About the Yamaha Tenere 700 Exhaust System

This premium motorbike exhaust is specifically manufactured for the Yamaha XTZ 700 Ténéré T7 2019 onwards models, ensuring perfect compatibility with your adventure machine. Our comprehensive kit includes everything you need for a straightforward installation that delivers immediate performance benefits.

The system comprises one high-quality stainless steel 304 CNC mandrel bent link pipe, precision-engineered to ensure optimal exhaust gas flow whilst maintaining the structural integrity essential for off-road riding. Unlike cheaper alternatives that use crush-bent tubing, our mandrel bent construction ensures consistent internal diameter throughout the pipe, eliminating restrictive pinch points that can hamper performance.

We’ve designed this exhaust with practicality in mind, incorporating heat shield brackets that allow you to refit your standard OEM heat shield. This thoughtful feature ensures you maintain protection for both yourself and your luggage from exhaust heat during those long adventure rides. The kit also includes one stainless steel exhaust strap and one exhaust strap rubber, providing secure mounting that withstands the rigours of off-road adventure riding.

Why Upgrade Your Tenere 700 Exhaust?

The standard exhaust system on the Ténéré 700, whilst functional, leaves considerable room for improvement. Our performance exhaust delivers several key benefits that transform your riding experience. Firstly, you’ll notice an immediate weight reduction compared to the stock system, lowering the bike’s overall mass and improving handling characteristics – particularly important when navigating technical terrain.

Performance gains are another significant advantage. The optimised flow characteristics of our mandrel bent link pipe reduce back pressure, allowing the parallel twin engine to breathe more efficiently. This translates to improved throttle response and a more engaging power delivery across the rev range. Many riders also appreciate the enhanced exhaust note – a deeper, more purposeful sound that reflects the adventurous nature of the machine without being excessively loud or antisocial.

Our exhaust is manufactured to fit straight to the standard OEM downpipes, meaning you don’t need to replace your entire exhaust system. This approach offers excellent value whilst still delivering substantial performance improvements. The plug-and-play design ensures that installation is straightforward, even for home mechanics with basic tools and experience.

Premium Construction for Adventure Riding

At Quill Performance Exhausts, we understand that adventure motorcycles face demanding conditions. That’s why we construct our tenere 700 exhaust systems using premium grade 304 stainless steel throughout. This material choice offers exceptional corrosion resistance – essential when your motorcycle encounters everything from salty coastal roads to muddy trails and river crossings.

The mandrel bending process we employ is significantly superior to conventional crush bending methods. By using precision CNC-controlled mandrel bending equipment, we maintain consistent pipe diameter throughout every bend, ensuring unrestricted exhaust flow. This manufacturing approach requires more sophisticated tooling and expertise, but the performance benefits justify the additional effort.

Every weld on our exhaust systems is executed to the highest standards, creating joints that are both structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing. We understand that Ténéré 700 owners take pride in their machines, and our exhausts are finished to a standard that complements the quality of the motorcycle itself.

Installation and Compatibility

One of the standout features of our Yamaha Tenere 700 exhaust system is its straightforward installation process. Designed to connect directly to your existing OEM downpipes, the system eliminates the need for complex modifications or specialist tools. The included stainless steel exhaust strap and rubber mounting components ensure secure fitment that won’t work loose during aggressive riding.

The heat shield bracket integration is particularly clever, allowing you to retain your factory heat protection. This means you can fit panniers and soft luggage without concerns about heat damage, maintaining the practical versatility that makes the Ténéré 700 such an exceptional adventure platform.

If you’re interested in exploring other exhaust options for your Ténéré, you might also consider our Yamaha Ténéré 700 T7 Hi Level system, which offers a different aesthetic and mounting position whilst delivering similar performance benefits.

Performance Benefits and Real-World Results

Riders who have fitted our exhaust systems consistently report noticeable improvements in several key areas. The reduced weight contributes to more nimble handling, particularly beneficial when manoeuvring at low speeds or picking the bike up after an off-road excursion. The improved exhaust flow enhances engine breathing, resulting in crisper throttle response that makes the bike feel more eager and responsive.

The acoustic improvement is another frequently mentioned benefit. Our exhaust produces a more characterful sound than the stock system – deep and purposeful without being obnoxiously loud. This strikes an ideal balance for adventure riders who want their motorcycle to sound as capable as it performs, whilst remaining considerate to other trail users and campsite neighbours.
