Designed and manufactured right here in the UK by Max Torque Cans, this twin setup is built to last, engineered to fit, and priced to deliver exceptional value for any XT660Z owner.
The Yamaha XT660Z Ténéré is one of the most capable and beloved adventure tourers ever built. Whether you’re tackling green lanes, motorway miles, or heading off on a long-distance overland adventure, the last thing you want is a rattling, rusting standard silencer letting the side down. Our yamaha xt660z tenere twin exhausts 2008-2016 transforms the look and sound of your bike with a fitment that is clean, secure, and genuinely impressive.
What’s Included in the Yamaha XT660Z Tenere Twin Exhausts 2008-2016 Kit
We believe in making the installation process as straightforward as possible, which is why every set of yamaha xt660z tenere twin exhausts 2008-2016 is supplied as a complete kit containing everything you need to get the job done without hunting around for extra parts. Each kit includes:
- 2 x Stainless 304 CNC Mandrel Bent Link Pipes — precision-formed for a perfect fit and smooth gas flow
- 2 x Stainless Exhaust Straps — durable and corrosion-resistant for a long service life
- 2 x Exhaust Strap Rubbers — vibration-damping rubbers to protect your bike’s frame and reduce noise resonance
- 1 x Exhaust Hanger Bracket — engineered to provide solid, rattle-free support
The use of 304-grade stainless steel throughout this kit is no accident. It’s the same grade used across our professional range because it offers outstanding resistance to heat, corrosion, and the kind of punishment that adventure riding dishes out. CNC mandrel bending ensures the link pipes maintain a consistent bore diameter throughout each bend, which means no restriction to gas flow and better overall performance compared to cheaper crush-bent alternatives.
Fitment Details for the Yamaha XT660Z Tenere Twin Exhausts 2008-2016
The yamaha xt660z tenere twin exhausts 2008-2016 is designed to bolt directly on to your standard OEM downpipes without any modification required. There’s no cutting, no welding, and no specialist tools needed. This is a genuine bolt-on upgrade, making it accessible to any competent home mechanic as well as your local bike workshop.
This kit fits all Yamaha XT660Z Ténéré models produced between 2008 and 2016, giving it broad compatibility across the entire production run of this model. If you’re unsure whether your specific year fits, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us before ordering — we’re always happy to help.
Because the yamaha xt660z tenere twin exhausts 2008-2016 uses the standard OEM downpipes as a foundation, you retain the factory header pipes and simply replace the silencers and link pipes. This approach keeps costs sensible whilst delivering a noticeable improvement in both appearance and exhaust note.
Installation Tips for Your Yamaha XT660Z Tenere Twin Exhausts 2008-2016
Installing your new twin performance exhaust is a straightforward process, but a few tips will make the job even easier:
- Allow the engine to cool fully before removing the old cans — standard safety practice that protects you and the components.
- Apply a small amount of copper grease to all threaded fasteners before fitting. This prevents seizing and makes future removal much easier.
- Loosely fit all components first before tightening anything down. This lets you align everything correctly and ensures the rubbers are seated properly before you torque up the fixings.
- Check for leaks after the first short ride — a brief warm-up run followed by a visual inspection will confirm all joints are sealed and secure.
- We recommend a short bedding-in period at moderate revs for the first few miles to allow the stainless steel to settle at operating temperature.
