Just looking at a cheap way to get rid of the cat possibly.

Thanks

Paul

Succinctly, no. The cat is in the OE silencer.

as per reply above oem cans: cat in the silencer under the seat, with yam supplied Akrapovics the cat is in the link pipes from header to cans near the passenger footrest mounts or thereabouts...
it you were deft with dremel and stainless steel welding then the akra cats should be easy to cut out.

Thanks for the replies guys , should have waited and looked at my Tenere which is being delivered tomorrow.

so basically a new system is the only option if you have the OEM exhaust.

I modified my own Buell Ulysses exhaust and removed the cat and just thought... Oh well

Better get saving..

Cheers

well mate, I'm about to cut the stock exhaust to get rid of the (cat)....and I will not be using a "Demel"........unless someone (Yamaha) would be kind enough to inform a poor sucker (such as myself)... what ?.... I should do when the only available fuel source is "Leaded Fuel"...Wonderful bike....but I live in the real desert without a fuel filter and the only fuel is what I can get on the day.....and Yamaha calls it a "Tenere"...sorry for the sarcasam, but I could use some help with day in.. day out....
with a cat in your ass.....
Cheers from Lahami

I'm currently stuck in Ouarzazate in Morocco for a few days with suspected tendonitis in my right arm (too many long days of riding) so I'm considering having a dig at the exhaust tomorrow.

Current thought is to open it up along the seam. Any input welcome.

Hi mate do you know of anyone who has attempted to removed the Cats from the Akrapovic's supplied by Yamaha for the xt660z?

Thanks mate.

Cheers Lahami

May I know how is the sound of the exhaust after removing the cat? Louder?

Maybe a little louder but hardly noticeable
