Hey everybody. Billy from Billys Bike Adventures. Thanks for tuning in today
and watching the video. You might have seen from my Facebook and Instagram pages that I have got
a second motorbike in my garage. I have still got the BMW R1200 GSA for my adventure touring,
mostly on road. What I have actually got the garage as well now as you can see is a beautiful
Yamaha Tenere 700 all in black, beautiful machine. Check out my Instagram page for a video on some of
the extras that have been added to this bike. One of the extras that we are going to be adding to
the bike today is a brand new Wings exhaust, you can probably tell from the T -shirt, bop bop bah.
Ah yeah so we are going to change the exhaust out on this bike. It is going to make this bike sound
absolutely awesome. At the end I will give you a before and after sound test to show what the
difference is on this bike. but for now let's get started in changing this bike. What I am
going to show you first is the kit that comes with the Wings exhaust. Let's show you what
comes with the exhaust in the packaging. So, to start off with, obviously, the beautiful
beautiful exhaust, the end can. Absolutely going to make the bike sound awesome and it
is absolutely beautiful, nice carbon fibre tipped end can and the bracket here as well,
nice and light actually, but a beautiful, beautifully manufactured bit of kit this.
I have already put the bracket on and you will need to take the screw and bolt out here.
This one here to be able to slip the bracket on, that has got some rubber heat proof
rubber on the inside and to stop it scratching as well and that, you lube with some uh I am
guessing its uh dish soap or something like that that they supply with it so you can lube
the inside of it up and um, when your moving the exhaust around to get the right position,
um, it does not actually scratch the exhaust or make any marks. So um, as I say, you will
need to take that screw out first and bolt to be able to get the bracket over the exhaust.
It comes with its own new screw and bolt to attach to the frame.
Nice good looking heat shield for the uh for the mid pipe,
beautiful. A nd here is the mid pipe that connects to the um the header end of the exhaust
and you get these two um these two brackets as well that you need to screw on. Essentially these
hold on because you are going to screw the heat, the heat shield to these two connectors here, ok.
So with all of that done now, lets take off the original exhaust. Now the Yamaha exhaust,
the original exhaust on this bike is a one piece exhaust, so there are only two things that we need
to do to take this exhaust off, so lets get that done. Right to get this one piece exhaust off what you are
going to need is a 8 and a 6 mil hex allen key and also a 14 mil socket, 14 mil socket is for the nut
on the back here and the 8 mil is for the front bolt that holds up the bracket for the end can.
The 6 mil is for the header end of the exhaust where the one piece attaches to the header end
of the exhaust and that is just one bolt and you just need to undo that, loosen off and it does not
come out. So, we, all we are going to do is we are going to loosen that off just so that the bracket
holding it on is lose enough to be able to move around. Eight mil hex goes in there,
14 mil nut on the back and all we are going to do now is to
loosen this off and what I am actually going to do is I am going leave the bolt in, so I am
going to keep pushing the bolt so that the bolt stays in so the can does not fall and the just
unscrew it so that the nut comes off the back end. Right thats the nut off the back end now,
and I am going take the bolt out now just holding the end can,
holding it up and now with the other hand I am just going to start , I will twist it
away from the bike slightly and then just keep twisting and pulling at the same time
until the one piece comes off and there you go, that is how easy it is to take off
the one piece exhaust off the Tenere 700.Right so it is time to put the Wings exhaust on now.
So what we are going to start doing, we are going to get everything set up before
we start tightening anything up. So first things first the mid pipe, that is going to go on first
and so when you are putting your mid pipe on and you are putting your brackets for your heat shield
on, make sure that the screws for the heat shield are facing down towards the ground. If they are
facing up when you put the mid pipe on you are not going to be able tighten then up
and position your heat shield properly. So make sure that when you put these on
that the screws are facing down toward the ground or out toward you. So lets loosen
the end first. That needs a 6 mil, sorry a 5 mil hex head key. Right so that is loose now.
It will come off so just make sure it does not come off and we put the we put that on first.
Right so that is on as far as it will go. Right next thing is the
is the exhaust itself, and so that should, I am going to loosen off the,
the bracket on the can end as well. So we put the can on, slip that over. You might want to
twist the, the exhaust mid pipe out toward you first so that you can slip it on with no
problems at all, right there we go that the end can on now.So what we are going to do now is we
are going to start to twist the mid pipe so that the, um, can end starts to face towards the bike,
twisting the can out as we do that until we have positioned
the can so that it meets up with the bolt hole, the bracket with the bolt hole and you will need
to have your bracket loose to be able to do this as well, so , I have already positioned
mine but you will need to have your bracket loose enough as well so that you can slide it back and
forth so you match this up perfectly. So with the, with the can set now in the right place,
first thing I am going work from the, from the header end of the exhaust where the mid
pipe has gone on. I am going to tighten that first and work my way backwards. Last thing
I will do will be to tighten up this bolt here. So for this one I know that I need a 5 mil to do
that one up first at the header end. That is nice an tight, lovely. Next one I am going to do is
the end can to secure that to the mid pipe.
So I am happy with that. Now before I do anything else I am just going to check the lining,
how this, the end of the can lines up with the rest of the bike. It should be fairly symmetrical.
So let me do that first. So you want the point of the end can pointing straight down,
that lines up really nicely so I am ready now to do the bolt and the nut up
to secure the end can and for this one I am going to need a 13 mil ring spanner.
Six mil hex head, start to tighten this up.
Right that is nice an tight. So the last thing. So thats the end can on now, the Wings exhaust on,
all secured. the last thing we have got to do now is to put the heat shield on.
Right, so the heat shield as I said attaches to these two brackets.These
have already been positioned. So all I am going to do now, put that one on there.
Some of these heat grommets will come off so um just make sure you put them back on
right way round.
This one is being a pain. Bear with me.
Right so you should have a grommet on the outside and on the inside as well. These
ones have stayed stuck on so I don't know why the other one has come off
and what you are going to need for that is a, oh you need a torx head for this one.
Torx head set for this one.
Its come off this side now look.
Right. And these simply, the torx head screws simply attach to the two brackets here.
Should be straight
forward. Right I am not going to do, I am just going to do these
finger tight because last thing we want to do is crack this lovely heat shield.
Because it does really finish off the exhaust on the bike.
Absolutely beautiful. So there we have it. That is the Wings exhaust
installed on the T7. So, promised you a sound check, lets now see what it sounds like.
Not bad sound, give it a little uh twist not back.
Now lets see what is sounds like when we get the Wings exhaust on, can't wait!
Oh yeah baby,
classic Wings sound. So that is how you fit a Wings exhaust to a Tenere 700 and I have got to
say it sounds absolutely mint. Had one of these on my 690, KTM 690 that I had previously. It was a no
brainer that I was going to put the Wings exhaust back on to this bike. So when you are ordering,
from Wings, its coming from abroad, coming from Europe. So um, what you will find is that there
will be a section on the Wings website for Non EU countries which one of the, which the UK is one of
the countries now and what you will fins is that when you are comparing prices to the EU Countries,
our price will be like 22% cheaper than that of the EU and that is because we
are not paying tax to the EU now so you will pay tax when the exhaust lands here in the UK
and so I paid about £40 tax or so and it arrives really really quickly. Wings are bang on in terms
of getting their service absolutely spot on, so thanks to Wings for getting that sorted for me so
quickly. If you have got any questions about the video today do let me know
and or leave a comment down below and I will get back in touch with you as soon as I can,
but for now thanks very much for watching and I will catch you again very soon.
