Tenere 700: Fuel Pump Replacement Tea Bag Filter & Guglatech Fuel Filter M220-06 ARM

By

 Tenere 700 Fuel Pump Replacement Tea Bag Filter 

Yamaha does not list any service interval for the fuel pump & related filter, but it is worth ensuring that the entire fuel delivery system performs as per spec & with proper pressure. At 35k km or 22k miles the tea bag filter on my 2014 Super Tenere 1200 ES was dirty resulting in pressure drop that affected performance & fuel economy...the change is subtle & progressive so difficult to ascertain without a pressure test or physical inspection via removing the fuel pump.

As with the Super Tenere 1200 & other Yamaha models they do not sell just the fuel pump tea bag filter, instead requiring buying the entire pump assembly (#BW3-13907-00-00), BUT Suzuki, who uses the same Mitsubishi UC-T35 fuel pump on their V-Strom 650 & other models does sell it, part #15420-44G00, which can be sourced on AliExpress.

Guglatech Fuel Filter M220-06 ARM

The Guglatech Fuel Filter M220-06 ARM is regarded as providing outstanding fuel filtration available in a reusable format via a sock that drops inside the neck of the gas tank & filters out contaminates such as dirt, sand & water every time you fuel up helping to extend the service life of the fuel pump/filter & related components. Sold in the US by BestRest Products as well as other world wide retailers. 


Description from BestRest Products Website

Compatibility:
  • Fits Yamaha Tenere 700
  • Fits Yamaha Tenere 1200

  • Also fits Suzuki V-Strom, Kawasaki Versys
  • Also fits 2017-2022 Honda CRF Rally 250/350

Specifications:
  • No upper flange; the upper neck ring snugs down into the tapered fuel tank filler nozzle
  • Neck size: 37mm
  • Filter size: 4″x8″
  • Filter bag is centered on the nozzle
  • Anti-abrasion outer mesh to protect against chafing inside the tank

Key Features:
  • HDM3D Media: Innovative media with welded filter edges for optimal dirt and water segregation.
  • Expedition Media: XL+ 600 square cm of filtering surface, allowing fast refueling. Washable and long-lasting.
  • Water and Contaminant Separation: Acquastop technology separates water from fuel during refueling.
  • Enhanced Filtration: Provides excellent protection for the fuel pump and main filter. The original system’s strainer, working between 40 and 60 microns, is inadequate for EFI systems. This filter extends the life of both the prefilter (40-60 microns) and paper filter (8-10 microns).

Installation:
  • Special fuel neck prefilter designed to be mounted inside the original fuel cap.
  • Simple drop-in, easy to insert and extract, no further modifications or mountings required.
  • Installation could not be easier: remove the cap, insert the filter, and screw down the cap.

Additional Information:
  • Double-check your bike’s make, model, year, gas tank design, and filler nozzle dimensions before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
  • If you order the wrong filter, you are responsible for any shipping fees needed to replace it with the proper filter, plus any price differences.
  • Filters that have been immersed in gas (or are not in like-new condition) are NOT eligible for return or refund.

FYI about Guglatech from the US Distributor:

 

Guglatech has been sold but the filters should be available soon under a new name. I think they said like mid to late November 2024.

Tenere 700: MIVV Dakar Exhaust & Carbon Heat Shield

By

MIVV Dakar Y.064.LDKX Exhaust + Carbon Heat Shield ACC.80.0 Why a New Exhaust? Yamaha opted for Dakar inspired styling & cost savings vs function with the design & location of the oem muffler for the Tenere 700 that positions it precariously low & outside the swingarm, attached to a welded on vs bolt on hanger that easily bends pushing the muffler into the aluminum swingarm with the slightest provocation (there have even been reports that some damaged bikes in the USA have been written off by insurance citing a bent frame). See  my blog article here  for additional info on the swingarm/muffler issue & several aftermarket T7 exhaust options. The oem wide muffler positioning also complicates the use of some soft bag & rackless systems & clearance with the hot muffler plus mandates that many luggage rack systems be detrimentally far away from the center line of the bike,  adding unnecessary width & undesirable handling dynamics at the back end.

    8 Day,  4,360 km (2,709 mile), 'Rideabout' - 2 Provinces, 5 States, 1 Provincial & 4 National Parks -  Aug 7-14, 2024 With each year, & officially a 'baby' senior at 66, motivation & ability to do the things I historically treasured become a plethora of balancing the increasingly disparate physical & emotional realities with the seductive biased recollections of my youth touring much of western Canada & USA, Baja/Central/Northern Mexico & 2 years in Texas via motorcycle...Bob Seger's "Against the Wind' echoes in my head 😎.  After having to cancel my Yukon/Alaska trip this June because of recurring back issues, & while no where near 100%, was in need of some throttle therapy & seized an opportunity. The ensuing journey is as much an exploration of my current abilities for a concentrated high mileage solo 1 or 2 week long 'rideabout' without much conditioning & lead up riding as it is about my accessorized ...

Tenere 700: Correct Fork Alignment - Floating Right Fork Needs to be Set Correctly on Axle to Obtain Equal Gap for Brake Caliper & Rotor - Service Manual Front Wheel & Tightening Torques - 'Everything Tenere' & Dave Moss Videos: Align Fork Legs Properly After Mounting The Wheel

Disclaimer: I am just a long time motorcycle enthusiast with moderate wrenching experience/skills (not a professional/Yamaha mechanic) & have compiled this info from others more experienced & knowledgeable as a reference based on my personal experience with my T7 that hopefully can help others. Fork Alignment & Right Fork Caliper/Rotor Position MUST Be Checked After Front Wheel Removal! T he T7 right front axle assembly is a floating design that, depending on several factors, may not correctly position the caliper & rotor for equal gap & can result in the rotor resting against the upper edge of the caliper...not a desirable situation if gone unnoticed. This information is NOT in the Yamaha Service Manual & can be an overlooked issue when changing the T7 front tire .. .the right fork's static/resting position is toward the outside on my T7, which incorrectly positions the inside edge of the caliper to make contact with the rotor ( has been posted by others ...
