2023 Yamaha Super Tenere ES Adventure Motorcycle – Features and Specs
Storage
The 2023 Yamaha Super Tenere ES Adventure Motorcycle comes standard with 32-liter anodized aluminum side boxes that are waterproof. These cases are strong and spacious, ready to hold and protect almost anything you throw at them. An extra set of keys is not required, as the locking mechanism uses the bike’s ignition.

Low engine mass allows excellent handling. The slim and compact tight inline twin-cylinder engine is ideal for tight turns on twisty mountain roads.
Comfort
The 2023 Yamaha Super Tenere ES Adventure Motorcycle features KYB electronic suspension, a four-position adjustable windscreen, heated grips, and cruise control. On the Super Ténéré ES, you can balance your adventurous side with comfort and ease!
Compact & Powerful Engine
Built for adventure, the 2023 Yamaha Super Tenere ES Adventure Motorcycle features a unique 270° crank and a tiny 1,199cc parallel-twin engine for excellent torque and traction. The low engine mass allows exceptional handling. A slim, compact, narrow two-cylinder inline engine is ideal for making tight turns on hilly roads.
Electronic Suspension
Choosing the ideal setting is as easy as pressing a button with the electronically controlled suspension. The 2023 Yamaha Super Tenere ES Adventure Motorcycle suspension can be precisely adjusted to rider demands, passenger and cargo volume, and terrain thanks to its four preload settings, three damping presets, and seven additional fine-tuning damping adjustments.
All-Purpose Drivetrain
The wide-ratio six-speed transmission has the proper gearing for off-road and open-road driving. The strong linked shaft drive connects directly and reciprocally to the rear wheel, protecting it from the weather.
Advanced Fuel Injection
The Yamaha Chip-Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) Twin Downdraft Throttle Body, combined with fuel injection, provides excellent acceleration and throttle control. In “D-Mode” (Drive Mode), the two-position throttle response allows the rider to adjust the mapping based on their preferences or the situation.
Traction Control
When using traction control, the rider can apply more pressure with confidence. This highly sophisticated system provides a smooth response that isn’t as abrupt as the competition by controlling throttle valve opening dependent on fuel injection, ignition timing, and wheelspin. Three modes, including Off, are offered to accommodate rider preferences.
Assured Braking
The 2023 Yamaha Super Tenere ES Adventure Motorcycle is equipped with both the Unified Braking System (UBS) and Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). While applying pressure to the rear brake initially overrides the UBS to provide traditional independent rear brake action, applying pressure to the front brake lever using the UBS also contributes to some rear-wheel braking.
Convenience & Comfort
Comfort and convenience are essential for the rider, whether traveling across town or a continent better than 2022 Yamaha Super Tenere ES. With its cruise control, center stand, low-maintenance shaft drive, tunable front and rear suspension, adjustable seat height, windshield, and more, the 2023 Yamaha Super Tenere ES Adventure Motorcycle is classy.
Crossplane Crankshaft Engine
The 1,199cc parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine features a unique 270° cross-plane crankshaft for increased traction. It closely resembles a big bore thumper, reducing unpleasant vibrations.
Adventure-Ready Motor
In addition to increasing ground clearance using a dry-sump oil supply inside the crankcase, the 2023 Yamaha Super Tenere ES Adventure Motorcycle’s side-mounted radiator makes it significantly thinner. It protects it from pebbles and other debris.
Advanced Fuel Injection
The downdraft dual-bore fuel injection system, including 12-hole injectors, is designed for both on- and off-road experience. It’s perfect for both the daily commute at home and long highway trips.
Traction Control
Proven YCC-T fly-by-wire technology makes an improved traction control system possible. This technology controls throttle valve opening, fuel injection volume, and ignition timing in response to rear wheel spin. Three rider-selectable modes are offered, depending on the rider’s preferences and conditions.
Cruise Control
YCC-T powers the cruise control system on the 2023 Yamaha Super Tenere ES Adventure Motorcycle. A preset speed makes long-distance highway travel easy for the rider.
D-Mode Throttle
The Yamaha D-mode throttle has two response settings: “S-mode” for sport riding when the rider needs maximum performance and “T-mode” for touring and general riding, which provides a soft response.
All-Purpose Drivetrain
The gear ratios on the wide-ratio six-speed transmission are ideal for various riding conditions, from comfortable rough roads to high-speed riding. The strong linked shaft drive connects directly and reciprocally to the rear wheel, protecting it from the weather.
Electronic Suspension
Choosing the ideal setting is as easy as pressing a button with the electronically controlled suspension. The 2023 Yamaha Super Tenere ES Adventure Motorcycle suspension can be precisely adjusted to rider demands, passenger and cargo volume, and terrain thanks to its four preload settings, three damping presets, and seven additional fine-tuning damping adjustments.
Robust Steel Chassis
The purpose of the steel frame is to reduce rider fatigue during long rides. A steel mainframe achieves the best strength-to-flexibility ratio and can help absorb shocks from uneven road surfaces.
Assured Braking
The Unified Brake System (UBS) and ABS help reduce wheel lock during braking. With this arrangement, the rider only needs to lift the front brake lever to simultaneously apply the front and rear brakes. It is beneficial when standing on stilts while riding. To offer conventional independent front and rear brake control, the rear brake must be engaged first, overriding the UBS.
Customizable Comfort
The windshield and the seat height of the 2023 Yamaha Super Tenere ES Adventure Motorcycle are movable. With a one-inch change in seat height, smaller riders can sit lower, and larger riders can ride higher with more room. The windscreen can easily be adjusted vertically by 2.3 inches without needing tools.
Adventure-Ready Ergonomics
Footpegs with grooves show Yamaha’s attention to detail. Rubber cushions on the rider’s seat provide excellent comfort. The rubber compresses when the rider stands up to face more difficult riding conditions, allowing the rider’s shoes to touch the surface of the metal foot pegs.
Luggage Ready
Three configurations are available for the optional flexible luggage system design: Baseline, which lacks a top case or side bags; Top case installed; or side case installed. Integrated into the bike’s design, these additions enhance the appearance of the 2023 Yamaha Super Tenere ES Adventure Motorcycle.
Beefy Controls
Standard equipment includes wraparound handlebar brush protectors attached to a sturdy rubber-lined handlebar.
Standard Centerstand
For total parking convenience, side and center stands are offered.
