Touratech Adventure Upgrade for Yamaha Tenere 700: Full Build Ep. 05

Touratech Parts Installation Overview

• 🏍️ The video details the installation of numerous Touratech adventure parts on a 2024 Yamaha Tenere 700, replacing some existing Alt Rider components.
• ⏱️ The installer aims to complete the build in under 12 minutes, despite facing challenges like baby duty and needing to split the install over two days.

Protection Upgrades

• 🛡️ Lower crash bars were installed, noted for their ability to be mounted independently of Alt Rider bars, covering different areas.
• 🚀 Upper crash bars were then fitted, tapping into the same mounting points as the lower bars, resulting in a low-profile appearance.
• ⚙️ An Expedition skid plate was mounted, featuring replaceable rails on the bottom, though it exposes the lower linkage more than the previous setup.
• ⚡ A rear ABS sensor guard was installed to protect the exposed sensor, a common concern among Tenere 700 owners.
• 💡 Engine protection components were also added, with a note about potentially needing to adjust the bash plate mounting if engine guards are used.

Ergonomics and Drivetrain Enhancements

• 🪑 A one-piece comfort seat was installed, offering a significant upgrade in comfort and eliminating the need to unlatch separate front and rear seats.
• 🔗 The stock plastic chain guard was replaced with a more sturdy metal Touratech chain guard for increased durability and safety.
• 🦶 A rear brake pedal extension was fitted, effectively doubling the surface area of the brake pedal for improved feel and control.
• 🛠️ Protective covers were added to the throttle cable area, blocking off an exposed section that could be vulnerable to rocks or damage.

Sponsor Spotlight: Chigee AIO-6

• 📱 The video highlights the Chigee AIO-6, a versatile motorcycle screen interface that offers Apple CarPlay, tire pressure monitoring, and dash functionality.
• 🌟 Praised for its bright, responsive touchscreen, it's preferred over using a smartphone directly, even with a phone mount present.
• 🔄 The device is removable and hot-swappable between motorcycles with an additional mounting plate, making it ideal for riders with multiple bikes.
