Hey! Would love a (maybe short?) video walkthrough of you installing the single-disc kit on the T7! Maybe the shortest version of it would be an install video showing no ABS lines being used but with some general pointers (and this video) if any ABS is being kept!
Hi! Could you please tell me if any special tool is needed to bleed ABS pump and remove air? I’ve checked service manual and it seems like the whole bleeding procedure is standard - like in bikes without ABS. I am curious if i change all cables, will i be still able to remove all air from the system myself, without „activating Abs pump” by any special diagnostic tool
It's a standard bleed procedure under normal conditions. However, if you'd like to bleed the old fluid out of the pump (a good idea) and/or have air inside the pump, you'll need to cycle the pump. There are only two ways to do this: with the Yamaha scan tool or by activating the ABS. Of course, if you're riding the bike to activate the ABS, you can't bleed at the same time and it's a very time-consuming and iterative process to exchange all the fluid. Given the high cost of the scan tool, we recommend that owners have their dealer do a periodic ABS flush. Doesn't have to be during the annual or bi-annual fluid flush, but it's a good idea to do it every few years because, as you likely know, brake fluid is hygroscopic (absorbs water) and fluid trapped in the pump will corrode over time rendering the pump useless. We had an old Concours 1400 here a few years ago that needed a new pump because of this exact scenario. Great question...
@@StoltecMoto thank You for help. I’ll try to do brake lines change myself. If i’ll struggle with removing air from system, then I will ask Yamaha for help 🫢
@@webster7606 I don't expect you'll have problems beyond the normal hassles of removing air. Plan to take the bike to Yamaha next winter for the next complete flush and ride on! Good luck...
I could not find a Tenere 700 so I settled for an Africa Twin but yeah I ended up buying an Ultra Bee and a Talaria too! What do you think about the build quality of the Tenere?
Typical Yamaha build quality. That is to say very good but nothing stands out as being over the top nice. Consider it perfectly functional and utilitarian.

That's a good suggestion. We'll record the install on the next bike we do here in our shop. Thanks for reaching out!
Video is so bright...
It’s terrible, you can say it. Footage was corrupted during editing, but wanted to get something up until we can go back and fix it.
