Yamaha has been known for making reliable and powerful bikes and the Tenere 700 is no different when it comes to adventure motorcycles. The 689cc 4-stroke, 8-valve bike weighs 205kg. However, it doesn't feel as weighty thanks to its fully adjustable inverted forks on the front and the single shock adjustable preload and rebound dampers on the back.
On the front, you have 21cm of travel while the back has 20 cm of travel. The twin-cylinder DOHC engine helps make for a compact solution that helps the Tenere 700 have a slim yet practical body which is the perfect balance for agility and functionality. But it also serves as a place for many different accessories.
Must-Have Adventure Bike Accessories
Chain Guard
The simplest accessories are sometimes the best and this is definitely the case with a chain guard. As its name suggests, it keeps the chain safe from flying debris such as mud, grime, dust, stones and water. With these Tenere 700 accessories in Australia, you'll keep your adventure bike running for longer as the chain is safe and thus will last longer with proper maintenance.
Bash Plate
You can expect the same benefits from bash plates too as these Yamaha T700 accessories protect the engine from impacts as well as mud and water. Also known as skid plates, bash plates are made of steel and are even sturdier and more protective than chain guards as they provide more coverage and have a smarter design.
Risers
Either handlebars or risers can help make for a better rider triangle as these Tenere 700 aftermarket parts allow you to adjust the way the handlebars are positioned. You can move the handlebars both vertically and horizontally which allows you to improve the comfort level of your bike no matter the terrain you're riding on and the trips you're taking on a regular basis.
Pivot Pegs
With pivot pegs you're also able to improve your rider's triangle but also the ability to go off-roading and keep your feet safe. That's because these Tenere 700 aftermarket parts help provide more support and space for your feet in the form of rubberised pegs that are able to provide traction and grip in wet conditions too.
Windscreen
Adventure bikes come with windscreens too but sometimes the factory one isn't the best for the type of riding you do. These Tenere 700 accessories in Australia are able to replace the stock solution with more appeal and better protection. Bugs and the wind can make riding an adventure bike quite a challenge especially when in the Outback. Aftermarket windscreens can also help reduce rider fatigue when going on longer trips.
GPS Holder
When navigating through unknown terrain a dedicated GPS device can help you immensely especially when out in a remote area. But holding it in your hand is like you're begging for an accident to happen. A GPS holder will keep the device in sight as it clamps on the handlebars.
Grips
Another pair of Tenere 700 aftermarket parts that go on the handlebars are hand grips. Since with aftermarket grips, you get to choose the type of grips you want to have on your Tenere 700 you are able to have better feel and handling on various types of terrain.
Cruise Control
The Tenere 700 may not come with cruise control built-in, but you can still add a version of it that has a straightforward design and it's simple to install. This comes in the form of throttle lock which helps keep the position of the throttle at the exact position you want it for long periods without your wrist getting tired at the end of a long-distance journey.
Adjustable Levers
Be it clutch or brake levers you can get adjustable ones to make your Tenere 700 that much more comfortable. These Yamaha T700 accessories let you manually adjust the position of your brake or clutch lever or both so that they are easy to reach.
Hydration Pack
Longer journeys can be exhausting and one type of accessory that you'll love dearly when on such rides is a hydration pack. Unlike a plain bottle of water, a hydration pack is able to let you take as many sips as you need while riding. That's thanks to the long enough straw that reaches out to your mouth from the back where the pack is usually found.
Wireless Headset
If you're riding in a group you should consider getting a wireless headset. This way when you want to stop somewhere or change the route you can just tell your mates without having to throw hand signals or whistle at them or try to call them when you do stop.
Side Luggage Mount
When you want to go on an across-the-country trip you want to make the most out of the available space on your Tenere 700. In this case, you should consider getting a side luggage mount that lets you attach some saddle bags on your T700.
Tail Rack
A tail rack does the same exact thing as a side luggage mount in that it provides a place to mount your luggage at the back of your adventure bike.
