Yamaha Tenere 700 ABS Off-Road Dongle

Compatibility

• Tenere 700 2023 (EU models).
• Tenere 700 2024+ (EU and US models).
• Tenere 700 World Raid 2022+ (EU and US models).
• ... and all others T7 with color TFT screen.

How it works

The Dongle modifies the ABS settings behavior to what you would expect it to have directly from the manufacturer. It is expanding the functionality of the ABS button and adding the ABS memory.

• It is expanding the functionality of the ABS button.
• It is adding the ABS settings memory.

The new behavior will be as follows:

• A short push of stock "ABS" button will toggle between the rear ABS OFF and ABS ON.
• A long hold (approx. 1 second) of stock "ABS" button will turn ABS completely OFF (front and rear ABS).
• ABS settings are retained in memory even after turning the motorcycle OFF and ON.

Note: The changes of ABS settings still can be done only when the bike is not moving - this is unfortunately hard-coded in ECU.

Why do you need it

• It completely eliminates the time-consuming setting of ABS when driving in off-road or anywhere else.
• It allows you to return to the riding basics also with the modern bike. Just sit and enjoy the ride.

Installation

• Plug-and-play installation. Simply connect it to the diagnostic port and attach to the empty holder next to the battery.
  • Splitter for original Bluetooth module which is connected there from the factory is included as the part of the Dongle.

How it works

The Dongle modifies the ABS settings behavior to what you would expect it to have directly from the manufacturer.

• It is expanding the functionality of the ABS button.
• It is adding the possibility to control Rear ABS separately.
• It is adding the ABS settings memory.

The new behavior will be as follows:

• A short push of stock "ABS" button will toggle between the rear ABS OFF and ABS ON.
• A long hold of stock "ABS" button will turn ABS completely OFF (front and rear ABS) - as on default bike.
• ABS settings are retained in memory even after turning the motorcycle OFF and ON.

Note: The changes of Rear ABS settings can be done even if the bike is moving! Changes of whole (Front + Rear) ABS system can be done only when the bike is not moving - this is unfortunately hard-coded in ECU.

Why do you need it

• It completely eliminates the time-consuming setting of ABS when driving in off-road or anywhere else.
• It allows you to return to the riding basics also with the modern bike. Just sit and enjoy the ride.

Installation

• Plug-and-play installation. Simply disconnect two connectors near the battery and connect the Dongle between them.

• Dongle (except the Rear ABS switching on LCD models) does nothing more than what can be set by hand on the original instrument panel. It just combines all the procedure to one click or automates them after startup (the memory).
• Please be careful during all riding and especially when you turn OFF the ABS. Do it only when you know what you are doing!
• In many states it is illegal to drive on public roads with the ABS system off. Please follow local regulations and keep safety of you and others on the roads!

FAQs:

• Is the dongle waterproof?

  • Yes, it is over-molded by injection molding with TPU plastics. It is not only a plastic box but all inside is tightly filled by plastics. It is protecting it from water and humidity and also strengthens the entire structure against hard impacts and hardest shocks.

• Can the Dongle damage anything on the bike in case of failure?

  • In case of Dongle failure the bike will enter safe mode but nothing will be damaged. After disconnecting the malfunctioning Dongle everything will return to normal. The eventual error symbol on dashboard will disappear after few short rides.
  • Both CAN bus itself and the devices connected to this bus are immune to failures of other connected devices so the Dongle failure will not damage them.
  • However, this device interferes with other onboard electronic systems even if the ABS is set to ON (disabled state of the Dongle). In case of its failure ABS and some info on the dashboard may be temporarily unavailable. By installing this device, you assume all responsibility for possible damage to health and property caused by the incorrect function of this device and the subsequent malfunction of other electronic systems of the motorcycle. Device is designed for riding in hard Off-Road where the ABS system is unwanted and possibly dangerous.

• Can the Dongle affect the warranty of the bike?

  • The Dongle communicates trough the CAN bus data connection with the dashboard and ECU and it is designed to automotive standards. The ECU and the Dashboard is unaware of whether the CAN communication containing the required settings is transmitted by the Dongle instead of the dashboard or ECU. The CAN BUS frames are identical to those sent by display panel. Therefore, if you disconnect the Dongle prior to making motorcycle warranty claim, there will be no indication that this device was ever connected.
  • However, installation of the Dongle is your responsibility. Do not take this as a guide on how to circumvent the motorcycle's warranty conditions. It's just a description of how the Dongle interacts with the bike. It is still a piece of equipment that is not approved by Yamaha as an original accessory and you are responsible for any problems caused by its installation and use.
