YAMAHA XT1200Z SUPER TENERE 2010-2021

If you’re searching for a high-quality, bolt-on performance exhaust for the yamaha xt1200z super tenere 2010-2021, you’ve come to exactly the right place. At Max Torque Cans, we’ve spent years perfecting our range of hand-crafted stainless steel exhausts for adventure bikes, and this silencer is one of our proudest achievements. Whether you’re heading out on a long-distance continental tour or carving up your favourite weekend roads, upgrading your standard can is one of the most rewarding modifications you can make to this machine.

The Yamaha Super Ténéré is a formidable adventure tourer — a big, capable twin that eats up miles with ease. The standard exhaust does a decent job, but it’s heavy, restrictive, and let’s be honest, it sounds pretty uninspiring. Our replacement silencer changes all of that. You’ll notice a deeper, more characterful exhaust note the moment you start her up, and the weight saving is a genuine bonus for a bike that tips the scales on the heavier side. Every component in this kit has been selected with durability and performance in mind.

What’s Included in Your yamaha xt1200z super tenere 2010-2021 Exhaust Kit

We want to make sure you have everything you need to complete a clean, professional installation right out of the box. Here’s exactly what you’ll find inside your kit:

• 1 x Stainless 304 CNC Mandrel Bent Link Pipe — precision-formed from high-grade 304 stainless steel for maximum corrosion resistance and longevity
• 1 x Stainless Exhaust Strap — robust and purpose-built to hold your new can securely in place
• 1 x Exhaust Strap Rubber — provides the necessary vibration dampening to protect your can and your bike’s chassis over time

This exhaust is designed to fit straight onto the standard OEM downpipes of the yamaha xt1200z super tenere 2010-2021, meaning there’s no need for any additional modification or specialist tooling. It’s a genuine like-for-like swap that any competent home mechanic can complete in an afternoon. The CNC mandrel-bent link pipe ensures a smooth, uninterrupted bore throughout, which helps maintain exhaust gas velocity and contributes to improved throttle response and mid-range torque — exactly what you want from an adventure tourer used in the real world.

Important Fitment Note for the yamaha xt1200z super tenere 2010-2021

This is something we feel very strongly about sharing with every customer, because it makes a real, practical difference to how your bike looks and functions after the installation. We strongly recommend choosing the single outlet design for this model. Here’s why: on the yamaha xt1200z super tenere 2010-2021, the proximity of the rear indicator to the exhaust outlet can cause heat-related damage to the indicator lens and housing over time. To address this, when you select the single outlet option, we specifically manufacture the spout longer than standard. This additional length creates the necessary distance between the exit point of the exhaust gases and the rear indicator, effectively eliminating the burning risk entirely.

It’s a small detail, but it’s the kind of thing that separates a manufacturer who actually rides and understands motorcycles from one who simply turns out generic parts. We’ve seen the damage a poorly positioned outlet can do, and we’ve designed our solution accordingly. If you have any questions about which configuration is right for your specific setup, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us directly — we’re always happy to help.

Why Choose Max Torque Cans for Your yamaha xt1200z super tenere 2010-2021

We’re a UK-based manufacturer and retailer, which means every exhaust we sell is made with the British riding environment in mind. We know what it’s like to ride in all weathers, on roads that aren’t always in the best condition, and we build our products to cope with exactly that. Our 304 stainless steel construction means your new can will resist the corrosive effects of road salt, rain, and temperature cycling far better than cheaper alternatives made from mild steel or lower-grade alloys.

Our CNC mandrel bending process is central to the quality of the finished product. Unlike cheaper die-bent pipes, mandrel bending maintains a consistent internal diameter throughout every curve. This means there are no restriction points, no collapsed inner walls, and no dead spots in the exhaust flow. The result is a cleaner, freer-flowing path for exhaust gases from the engine to the outlet — and that translates directly into performance you can feel.

We’re proud of our customer feedback, and we’re equally proud of the fact that our exhausts are designed to last the lifetime of your bike when properly maintained. Many of our customers have been riding with Max Torque Cans fitted for several years without any issues whatsoever. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to, and it’s why we’re confident recommending our products to any yamaha xt1200z super tenere 2010-2021 owner who wants a quality upgrade they won’t regret.

Installation Tips for the yamaha xt1200z super tenere 2010-2021

Installing your new Max Torque Cans silencer is a straightforward process, but here are a few tips to make sure everything goes smoothly and the finished result looks and performs exactly as it should:

• Allow the engine to cool completely before starting work — working on a hot exhaust is uncomfortable and potentially dangerous
• Apply a small amount of copper grease to all exhaust joints and threads to prevent seizing and make future removal easier
• Do not fully tighten any fixings until all components are loosely in position — this allows you to align everything correctly before locking it all down
• Check for leaks after the first run by listening and feeling around joints once the bike has returned to a safe handling temperature
• Torque all fixings to the manufacturer’s specification to avoid under- or over-tightening

If you’re in any doubt about fitting, we’d always recommend having a local motorcycle workshop carry out the installation. A properly fitted exhaust will look better, seal better, and last longer than one that’s been rushed or incorrectly assembled.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this exhaust fit my yamaha xt1200z super tenere 2010-2021 without modification?

Yes. This silencer is specifically designed to bolt directly onto the standard OEM downpipes of the yamaha xt1200z super tenere 2010-2021 without requiring any cutting, welding, or additional adapter pieces. It is a direct replacement fitment.

Do I need a remap after fitting?

Because this is a replacement silencer rather than a full de-cat system, most riders find that a remap is not strictly necessary for road use. However, if you’re looking to extract every last bit of performance, pairing your new can with a fuel management device or a professional remap will always yield the best results.

Why do you recommend the single outlet design?

As detailed above, the single outlet option on the yamaha xt1200z super tenere 2010-2021 is manufactured with an extended spout to prevent heat damage to the rear indicator — a known issue with this model when using standard or incorrectly specified aftermarket cans.

How do I care for my stainless steel exhaust?

304 stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion, but a periodic wipe down with a proprietary stainless steel cleaner will keep it looking its best. Avoid using abrasive pads, which can scratch the surface finish.
