2025 Yamaha Tenere 700 Gets
Welcomed Updates
T
he Tenere 700 returns to
Yamaha's lineup for 2025
and while it's still not the long-
awaited Tenere Rally Edition, the
U.S. model does receive a list of
updates geared at making the
rider's life easier.
For 2025, the T7 features
updated electronics includ
-
ing Yamaha's Chip Controlled
Throttle (YCC-T) ride-by-wire
system. This allows riders to
switch between two throttle
maps, Sport and Explorer, along
with a selectable on/off traction
control system.
A new, larger 6.3-inch vertical
TFT screen features a full-color
display where riders can access
the vehicle's information or use
their smartphone via the Y-Con
-
nect app. Additionally, riders can
access full screen turn-by-turn
navigation through the Google
Maps app.
A three-mode ABS system is
also available for 2025.
The Tenere's 689cc liquid-
cooled twin-cylinder CP2 engine
maintains the stacked six-speed
transmission but receives a
shorter intake duct to improve
torque and power delivery in the
low- to mid-rpm range.
Up front, the T7 gets a new
quad-LED headlight, new side
covers, tail section, color-
matched handguards and a
flatter seat. The fuel tank cap is
also updated for easier access.
The footpegs are now wider and
longer, and the flatter one-piece
seat is designed to provide
greater comfort while retaining
the same overall height.
An updated 43mm KYB front
fork now includes a preload
adjuster, while the redesigned
linked-type KYB rear shock of
-
fers increased stroke and load
absorption for more off-road
confidence.

rives at dealers in February 2025
for an MSRP of $10,999.
