NEW FOR 2024

New Yamaha Y-Connect Smartphone Connectivity

The new 2024 Ténéré 700 features Yamaha Y-Connect smartphone connectivity, which works in conjunction with the free-of-charge Y-Connect app (available for iOS and Android) to enable a direct connection between motorcycle and smartphone. Y-Connect capability for the Ténéré 700 includes the ability to view incoming text and phone notifications on the new five-inch color TFT display. Additional useful functions include the ability to track and record key motorcycle ride data within the app, including distance covered, fuel consumption, top speed and much more, as well as monitoring and notifying the rider or other contact of motorcycle technical issues.

TOP FEATURES

Advanced Twin-Cylinder Engine

The Ténéré 700 features a fuel-injected, 689cc liquid-cooled, inline twin-cylinder engine derived from Yamaha’s award-winning MT-07. This compact powerplant features an ideal power delivery for adventure riding, for tractable and controllable power on road or off.

Adventure-Focused Ergonomics

The Ténéré 700 features a narrow body, slim fuel tank, and flat seat allowing maximum agility, enabling the rider to grip the tank whether sitting or standing, giving added confidence on dirt or asphalt. The fairing and handguards work with the tapered handlebar to ensure comfort on the longest rides.

New ABS Modes

The new 2024 Ténéré 700 now offers three-mode selectable ABS allowing riders to choose their preferred level of braking intervention. MODE 1 is the ABS fully activated on both front and rear wheels; MODE 2 enables ABS on front wheel only and turns ABS off on rear wheel; and MODE 3 turns ABS off on both front and rear wheel. (NOTE: Always ride on paved roads with the ABS turned on.)

New Five-Inch Color TFT Display

A rich new five-inch color TFT display is controlled by a new scrolling dial on right handlebar, and offers count-down trip meters and two different screen themes—a modern dynamic design and a more traditional look reminiscent of the analog era.

Not Afraid To Get Dirty

Highly adjustable, long-travel suspension is mated to dirt-ready spoked wheels mounting 21-inch front and 18-inch rear tires, ensuring that Ténéré 700 doesn’t shy away from serious off-road. The triple-disc brakes also feature three-mode selectable ABS, which can be disabled when desired for off-road riding.

Refinement Meets Durability

Every aspect of the Ténéré 700 is built to combine Yamaha’s legendary reliability with impressive performance, from the full LED lighting, to the strong and narrow steel frame, to the smooth counterbalanced motor, and full color TFT display.

Protective, Versatile Cockpit

The rally-inspired upper fairing and standard handguards ensure wind and weather protection ideal for long riding days. The taper aluminum handlebar is positioned for a relaxed riding position when sitting or standing on the pegs. The cockpit is also designed to accommodate additional navigation devices, such as a GPS or rally road book.

Rally-Bred LED Lighting

Echoing the focused, purposeful design of rally-built “works” racing machines, the Ténéré 700 utilizes a clear headlight nacelle with quad LED headlights. This vertically-stacked two-plus-two headlight design provides aggressive looks and excellent visibility, while the LEDs themselves are bright, long-lasting and resistant to shock and vibration.

CHASSIS/SUSPENSION

Adventure-Ready Suspension

Serious dirt riding requires a capable suspension, so the Ténéré 700 utilizes a long-travel 43mm inverted fork with 8.3 inches of travel. The beefy inverted layout is highly resistant to flex to maintain precise steering and suspension action, and the fork is fully adjustable to match changing road and trail conditions. The linkage-type rear shock is similarly outfitted for adventure, with 7.9 inches of travel, and a remote preload adjuster to easily fine tune for changing loads or riding conditions.

Balanced Ergonomics

The ability to shift body weight forward and rearward to suit the terrain is crucial in off-road riding situations, so the Ténéré 700 features a flat seat and slim body that allows maximum rider agility. The narrow body and fuel tank also enable the rider to grip the tank whether sitting or standing, giving added confidence whether you're riding on dirt or asphalt.

Dirt-Ready Braking With Switchable ABS

The Ténéré 700 features a pair of wave-style 282mm front discs, with rear braking handled by a 245mm wave-style rotor, for powerful deceleration that isn’t afraid of dirt and dust. New for 2024, the Ténéré 700 now offers three-mode selectable ABS allowing riders to choose their preferred level of braking intervention. MODE 1 is the ABS fully activated on both front and rear wheels; MODE 2 enables ABS on front wheel only and turns ABS off on rear wheel; and MODE 3 turns ABS off on both front and rear wheel. (NOTE: Always ride on paved roads with the ABS turned on.)

Durable Spoked Wheels

Unlike many so-called adventure bikes which feature cast alloy wheels or road-biased tires, the Ténéré 700 flaunts its serious off-road intentions with tough spoked wheels mounting 21-inch front and 18-inch rear tires, ideal for both on- and off-road riding. Strong and lightweight, these wheels give riders a range of tire choices, from aggressive pure enduro tires to versatile dual-sport options.

Lightweight Double Cradle Frame Design

A lightweight, high-strength tubular steel frame provides a tuned rigidity balance for nimble, responsive handling with the strength and durability needed to tackle the harshest terrain with confidence. The chassis utilizes a short 62.6-inch wheelbase for agility and boasts 9.5 inches of ground clearance to tackle whatever the trail throws at you.

ENGINE

Compact Stacked Transmission

The six-speed transmission “stacks” the gearbox and the crankshaft in a triangular layout to keep the overall engine size shorter front-to-back, which optimizes engine placement in the frame for outstanding weight balance. The transmission ratios are designed to bring out the best of the low- to mid-speed torque and excellent response characteristics, letting the rider focus on the road or trail ahead.

Compact, High-Tech Engine

Developed from the stellar MT-07 Hyper Naked sportbike, the Ténéré 700 engine combines exceptional reliability and exciting power delivery in a compact, fuel-efficient package. With an overall size similar to some single-cylinder motors, the 689cc fuel-injected, liquid-cooled, DOHC inline twin gives the Ténéré 700 a slim feel for exceptional off-road confidence, while the counterbalanced two-cylinder design provides smooth, long-legged power ideal for long days in the saddle.

Crossplane Crankshaft Concept

The two-cylinder engine features Yamaha’s “Crossplane Crankshaft Concept” 270-degree crank—which traces its lineage directly to the Dakar-dominating XTZ750 race bikes—to provide linear torque development in response to the rider’s throttle input. The CP2 engine is also light, slim and compact, and offers an excellent level of rider/machine communication.

Offset Cylinder Design

The CP2 engine shifts its cylinder bores slightly forward, towards the exhaust side. This offset reduces piston to cylinder wall friction, for enhanced reliability, more power and improved fuel economy.

Refined Fuel Injection

Electronic fuel injection settings have been calibrated to deliver a balance between rapid response—perfect for technical riding off-road—and smooth, linear delivery ideally matched for flowing progress when back on pavement. Boasting excellent fuel economy, robust acceleration, and precise controllability on- and off-road, the
