Yamaha’s philosophy with GYTR – Genuine Yamaha Technology Racing – is always to take the research and development work carried out by official racing teams and use it to create the highest specification performance parts available to any Yamaha owner.
GYTR parts have all been developed using racing bikes, as teams battle for victory at the highest level. And now, following the success of the Yamaha Rally Team, GYTR reaches the Adventure segment for the first time, with the launch of a dedicated range that includes performance kits for the Ténéré World Raid, with parts also available separately for the standard Ténéré 700.
Yamaha Motor Europe P&A, with Yamaha Motor Europe Research & Development, in collaboration with the Ténéré World Rally Team and its riders Pol Tarres and Alessandro Botturi, have worked meticulously to develop this exciting new range of parts, which is the result of the development of a twin-cylinder adventure bike capable of competing with and outperforming lighter 450cc prototypes.
This was recently proven at the TransAnatolia races, where the development Ténéré World Raid equipped with the full GYTR kit finished first and second in class B2.
Offering an 8.5% increase in engine performance and a chassis tuned to deliver true rally potential, the GYTR Performance Kits come in three distinct phases, which combine to create the ultimate Ténéré World Raid.
Developed to exploit the full adventure potential of the Ténéré 700 World Raid’s 689 cc CP2 engine, the GYTR Performance kit uses the original wiring harness, but adds a lightweight Akrapovič racing exhaust system built entirely from titanium.
Designed to optimize the flow of exhaust gases, the system works in conjunction with the GYTR air filter kit, consisting of a custom-made filter housing and element, and the GYTR ECU, which adjusts the ignition and fuel mapping to maximize power and torque. The GYTR performance parts combine to increase performance by up to 9 hp.
Along with the engine tuning parts, the kit also contains a rally-spec seat and footpegs kit. The one-piece GYTR Rally seat replaces the standard two-piece unit. Featuring the GYTR logo, the seat is made of grippy material for maximum control even in the toughest conditions. As standard, the Rally seat increases the seat height by 25 mm, but is designed to allow the rider to cut the foam and create a customized shape to meet their own ergonomic requirements. The Rally seat works in conjunction with the wider GYTR footpegs, which feature a highly toothed design to aid grip and an open pattern designed to reduce mud build-up in extreme conditions.
The final component of the Performance kit is a clutch cover upgrade, with a GYTR-branded aluminum split cover that allows easy access to the inner workings of the clutch for quick maintenance between rally stages.
The GYTR Performance kit has been developed for easy installation, allowing the wiring, wheels and ABS system to be retained.
