European customers, we have heard you loud and clear. We are (now) well aware of the unique need for certified mufflers. Living in North America, this is not the case so it was not front of mind when developing the product.
Due to the overwhelming requests for a kit to work with Akrapovic and Wings, we ordered one of each so we can see if there is any way to make them work without designing a new link pipe. Designing a new link pipe is a grind so we'd like to avoid it if possible. However, we will if we have to. That been said, R&D takes time so *if* we do make a new pipe, it won't happen over night. Please be patient.
Currently, we are only selling the kit complete.
There are so many things to love about the Yamaha 700 Tenere! Unfortunately, the exhaust is a bit of a Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde situation.
It looks and sounds amazing but it has a dark side. It's located low and wide and is mounted on a very long exhaust hanger that's welded to the subframe. When the bike is dropped on the right side, the mount can be bent which allows the muffler to be pushed into the side of the swingarm. If it is not bent back before being ridden, the aluminum swing arm gets chewed up by the steel muffler (see photo below). Adding insult to injury, if you bend the hanger enough times, it can crack at the subframe.
Having experienced the bent hanger and torn up swing arm personally, we came up with a new exhaust system the places the muffler up much higher and closer to the bikes centerline... out of harms way. To achieve this, we had to make a new link pipe and a new bracket to shorten the very long stock muffler hanger which greatly reduces leverage it sees making it much less likely to be bent in a drop.
