PRO GuIDe Yamaha Ténéré 700 suspension options Italian suspension specialist Matris has turned its attention to Yamaha's popular Ténéré 700 ADV with replacement front fork internals and rear shock absorber upgrade options. For the front forks, Matris recommends the 'Classic' F25R hydraulic fork cartridge and its advanced ADV and Dual Sport derived "Quad Valve" F25RX (25 mm cartridge) that allows compression, rebound and spring preload to be tuned and adjusted for riding M46R F25RX conditions, preferences and loads. The F25RX is a fully adjustable complete hydraulic cartridge kit that replaces all the OEM internal fork components and is a ready-to-fit solution with no modifications to the original forks needed - an excellent upgrade of the original fork, offering greater calibration customisation options and an "evolved" riding attitude for those looking to really "work" the potential of the Ténéré 700. Manufactured in 7075 aluminium alloy (Ergal - aluminium and zinc alloy) with anti-friction lapping and anodising treatment, the 12 mm anti-friction lapping 7075 rod is hard oxidation surface-treated. The set of CNC-machined billet aluminium compression and rebound valves has its own dedicated shims stack for total hydraulic flow control. The complete set of 25 mm CNC-machined 7075 compression and extension pistons are supported on self-lubricating sliding bearings complete with specific lamellar packs. The spring preload with reference click is mounted on an axial roller bearing; there are 38 clicks of extension adjustment and 38 clicks of compression. For the rear suspension, Matris offers a choice of solutions in its multi-adjustable hydraulic rear shock series - M46R, M46K or entry level M46KD - equipped with a knob-operated hydraulic spring preload unit for easy and fast setting compression, rebound, length and preload adjustments.

In pure Superbike style, this new 3/4 system for the V4 uses the first part of the OEM headers with a 2 in 2 layout (52 mm diameters) and H-shape balancing pipe "for the perfect flow in both engine banks". "All the pipework is in TIG welded AISI 304 stainless steel; the mufflers are the new QD titanium Gunshot with thermo-injected magnesium end caps and deliver a traditional QD signature sound - the power gain is +2/3 hp throughout the rpm range with up to +6 hp at the top end; the weight saving compared to the original is -5.7 kg." The original rear footrests can still be used and, as with every QD exhaust product, it is covered by a 30-month service card activated warranty. The system ships with an electronic exhaust servo eliminator; ECU reflashing available on request.
