Rally Raid Adventure Open Cartridge Fork Kit has been developed specifically to take your Yamaha T7 Tenere on overland travels with frequently and heavily changing load and terrain conditions. This Open Cartridge - designed and developed in conjunction with Tractive Suspension in the Netherlands - brings the front of the Yamaha T7 Tenere to the next level of driving pleasure and performance.

  • Fully adjustable for fork spring preload and rebound and compression damping control.
  • 35mm piston for improved oil flow - damping performance - feel and response time
  • Supplied with linear fork springs to match the rider weight
  • Hard anodised CNC machined aluminium components to give optimum performance and reduce friction - making servicing simpler and less frequent

It has the same 200mm travel as the OEM fork but with a much higher performance and adjustability. Utilising a 35mm diameter piston (the largest size on the market) rather than the OEM 20mm diameter piston allows for much larger diameter shims - giving 270% more surface area - and a much more progressive shim feeling due to increased oil flow.

Compared to Closed-Cartridge Fork Inserts these offer a less expensive option which are much easier to service and set up. Perfect for the average adventure rider.

Benefits for the rider:

  • Any luggage volume - from rear bag to loaded luggage system and/or pillion - will be compensated by the adjustment ranges of rebound and compression level
  • Much improved braking performance and cornering grip due to much enhanced fork action under load

It was designed to address the shortcomings of the OEM fork but without adding large cost for the owner. Whether you drive on motorways - main roads - smaller country roads - off-road tracks - or you are on a long-distance travel with a huge luggage volume - the benefits are very noticeable.

If extremely heavy road conditions act on the front wheel Rally Raid's integrated "hydraulic endstop" (PDS) avoids mechanical impact on the fork. This improves braking under adverse conditions - both on and off road - when ABS is used.

Supplied with polished linear wound springs in 5.6Nm 6.0Nm and 6.4Nm (depending on rider/passenger weight). These are coupled with CNC machined fixed plastic Spring Guides (incorporating RR PDS/check valve design) and high-strength thin-walled hard-anodised aluminium piston tube.

Fork Spring Rate Sugestions (use drop-down box above):

Rider weight up to 75kg: 5.6Nm

Rider weight up to 95kg: 6.0Nm

Rider weight above 95kg: 6.4Nm

These parts replace the OEM open cartridge completely including the fork springs & fork caps.

Included in the Open Cartridge Kit is a pair of our Fork Preload Caps to replace the OEM parts - retaining separate compression & rebound adjustment in the top - and up to 11mm of fork preload adjustment on each leg to achieve the optimum sag settings in order to get the best performance.

By simply turning the centre 22mm hex using the spanner provided each turn can add or remove 1mm of preload.

A special pin spanner is provided to fit and remove the caps easily and quickly.

Hard anodised black aluminium outer with stainless-steel internals.

Plastic spacers (4 x 5mm & 2 x 2mm thickness) are included for extra preload (if required) up to 12mm extra preload per cap.

You will experience a completely new driving sensation with your motorbike.

The basic setup is adapted to demanding adventure riders with luggage.

Contents of kit:

  • 2x Fork Preload Caps (inc spanners)
  • 2x Open Cartridge Fork Inserts
  • 2x Plastic Spring Guides (with PDS check valve)
  • 2x Linear Fork Springs

Fitting is straightforward - but does require a basic knowledge of suspension work - so if you are not experienced please use a suspension specialist or workshop to fit them for you.
