Yamaha's new XT1200Z Super Tenere is fitted with a big 1199cc displacement V- twin engine with shaft drive, utilising 270° crankshaft technology to offer unsurpassed levels of power, torque and traction - perfect for the extreme African conditions you may encounter on your adventure.
The new Super Tenere 1200 is highly advanced to give optimal mechanical performance as well as superb levels of rider feel and control.
That’s why you’ll find the Yamaha Chip-Controlled Throttle system (YCC-T) on the new Super Tenere 1200, with traction control to inspire confidence on every surface.
In Addition there’s hi-tech ABS, as well as our Unified Brake System (UBS), which links front and rear brakes for rider comfort.
The engine is mounted low and forward in the frame, which gives the new Super Ténéré great balance, a narrow profile, and a low centre of gravity for excellent handling, letting you pick your way through the maze comfortably and confidently. To inspire even more confidence, we've fitted it with our Yamaha Chip-Controlled Throttle system (YCC-T) with traction control, for extra peace of mind when riding on slippery surfaces.
YOU CAN SWICH OFF THE ABS - despite it not being a normal function:

here's how.......
Step 1 - Put the bike on the center stand so the rear wheel can run free...
Step 2 - Start the ignition, pull the clutch in and put the bike into 2nd gear...
Step 3 – Rev the bike in gear, allowing the rear wheel to spin until the ABS light stops flashing.

Because the front wheel is not moving and the rear is, the computer goes into error -
This disables not only the ABS, but also the traction control as well

To Re-enable the ABS
Simply stop and turn off the ignition with the key. Restart the bike as per normal

So to all those people who complain and winge about never riding a DS bike in the dirt without being able to disable the ABS?????
here is your answer.
Or, you can ask your local Yamaha dealer to install a switch for ZAR170
