How light can one make a Tenere 700 ? What weighs what ?


ADV Newbie

Question

A stock Tenere has a dry weight of 412 pounds.

 

The CP2 engine weighs 115 pounds, with EFI but no airbox, exhaust or fluids.

 

The Tenere 700 frame weighs 39 pounds, including the non detachable rear sub frame.

 

The stock lead acid battery (Yuasa YTZ10S) weighs 6.7 pounds.

 

The stock exhaust system (with Cat converter ?) weighs 6.1 Kg or 13.42 pounds.

 

What does everything else weigh ?   How does one remove 50 pounds from a T700 ?

 

115+ 39 + 6.7 + 13.42 = 175 pounds out of 412 lbs.    Where is the other 237 pounds ?  A complete YZ250FX weighs about 240 pounds dry...

How many spokes are in the T7 wheels, front and back ?   How thick are the spokes ?

 

How wide is the rear T7 wheel ?

 

How much does the nav pod and fairing/windshield weigh ?

 

How long is the T7 swingarm, pivot to end ?  Steel or aluminum ?

 

To me it looks like the T7 carries a ton of weight in brackets, covers and bolts. 

 

Look at the frame uprights behind the engine.  There are several plates and covers that bolt on in order to place the footpegs, shifter and brake components in the right place.   On a YZ or KTM, the pegs bolt directly to the frame as do the brake components.  Zero adapter plates.  Zero covers.   And a YZ450F still weighs more than the KTM 450F

 

Ditto with the rear fender assembly.   Watch Camel ADV's tidy plate install video to see what I mean.   There are hardly any fasteners in the YZ rear subframe.

 

52 individual parts to hold on the front and rear fenders.  A couple of those are labels.
