YAMAHA XT660Z TENERE TWIN EXHAUSTS 2008-2016

The yamaha xt660z tenere twin exhausts 2008-2016 represents a genuine step up in quality, sound, and visual appeal for one of the most respected adventure tourers ever produced. If you’re looking to upgrade your Yamaha XT660Z Ténéré with a performance exhaust that delivers improved exhaust note, robust construction, and a factory-fit finish, this twin silencer setup from Max Torque Cans is the solution you’ve been searching for.

Designed and manufactured right here in the UK, this complete kit transforms your bike’s appearance and sound whilst maintaining the simplicity and reliability that the Ténéré is famous for.

The Yamaha XT660Z Ténéré has earned a loyal following among adventure riders, commuters, and overlanders alike. Whether you’re clocking up motorway miles, exploring green lanes, or embarking on extended continental tours, your exhaust system needs to be up to the task. Factory silencers are often heavy, prone to corrosion, and produce a rather muted exhaust note that doesn’t do justice to the capable single-cylinder engine beneath.

Our yamaha xt660z tenere twin exhausts 2008-2016 addresses all of these concerns with a well-engineered, aesthetically pleasing upgrade that any XT660Z owner can install at home.

What’s Included in the Yamaha XT660Z Tenere Twin Exhausts 2008-2016 Complete Kit

We believe that quality motorcycle upgrades should come complete and ready to fit, which is why every yamaha xt660z tenere twin exhausts 2008-2016 kit includes all the components you need for a professional installation. Each kit contains:

• 2 x Stainless 304 CNC Mandrel Bent Link Pipes — precision-formed for perfect fitment and unrestricted gas flow
• 2 x Stainless Exhaust Straps — built to last and resist corrosion in all weather conditions
• 2 x Exhaust Strap Rubbers — essential vibration dampers that protect your frame and reduce resonance
• 1 x Exhaust Hanger Bracket — engineered for solid, rattle-free mounting

The use of 304-grade stainless steel throughout the system is a deliberate choice. This premium alloy offers outstanding resistance to heat, moisture, road salt, and the general abuse that adventure motorcycles are subjected to. The CNC mandrel bending process used to form the link pipes is particularly important — unlike cheaper crush-bent alternatives, mandrel bending maintains a consistent internal diameter throughout each bend, ensuring smooth gas flow and optimal performance.

This attention to detail is what separates a quality exhaust from a budget compromise.

Fitment and Compatibility: Yamaha XT660Z Tenere Twin Exhausts 2008-2016

Installation Guidance for Your Yamaha XT660Z Tenere Twin Exhausts 2008-2016

Installing your new twin performance exhausts is well within the capabilities of most home mechanics. The bolt-on design means you’ll need only basic hand tools and a couple of hours to complete the job. Here are our top tips for a successful installation:

• Always allow the engine to cool completely before starting work — safety first
• Apply copper grease to all threaded fasteners to prevent seizing and ease future removal
• Loosely assemble all components before fully tightening anything, ensuring proper alignment and rubber seating
• After your first short test ride, check all joints and fixings for leaks or looseness
• Run the bike at moderate revs for the first few miles to allow the stainless steel to settle at operating temperature

We’ve produced detailed video content showing the fitment process and finished installation on our YouTube channel, and our Flickr gallery features high-resolution photographs of the completed system. Both resources are invaluable references if you’re tackling the installation yourself.
