Rear brake mod

I hacked off the end from a brake pedal of a honda xl600 and welded it to the rear brake pedal of the tenere (well my friend did, but it was my idea)





Should be more crash resistant now and that's the way Yamaha should have made it in the first place.

Nice job! And you are right -Yamaha should have done this from the outset. They made the gear lever spring loaded so why not the brake pedal??
The more i live with my Ten the more i think the mighty 'Y' just paid lip service to the whole 'overlander thing'. Where did they do most of the test riding? Surbiton high street?

Proper job.

Cue a rush on XL600 brake pedals on ebay!

What are those pegs? Is it the standard peg with the rubber hoiked out?

I would like to know where you got that little plate on the engine cover, just behing the brake lever, and what you call it. I want one

I'm not saying xl600 pedals are the best, it's just what we had laying around, it's not a perfect fit but can be made to fit good. They are the standard pegs without the rubber.

@rudiedj: the little plate is as standard and I think is glued on, maybe you can get it at Yamaha.
