No problems, only solutions with this piece of equipment.
Solves every problem of stock exhaust.
Yamaha, next update of T7, please note!
Excellent test.
Safe, happy travels 👍

I like to add some information on the 2023 model of the MIVV Dakar, which I got from their support:
"We made a change on the link pipe a couple of month ago and the evolved one has different bending.
The reason of this change is that we were receiving occasionally claims about the link pipe slightly hitting the swingarm after big jumps during off-road races. Actually the problem was caused also by weight of the rider and the setting of shock absorber.
Anyway, we decided to cut it short and make an evolution of the link pipe to solve the problem radically.
The new link pipe is surely better because it’ll never hit the swing arm, even under extreme racing conditions."
I hope the muffler will not get louder over time and use. I'm still fine with my original Akrapovic of the Rally Edition, which I don't hear at all. There is so much wind noise around my helmet that I'm thinking to take a shorter one like the Puig Sport Screen.
Greetings from Germany, Bernd 💙💛🏁🤛🏼

I've got the HPcorse one. And also cutted the old exhaust bracket off just for the looks.
Love how a high exhaust looks and it removes the weakness of it

Thanks for this video Pavlin. My friend accidentally dropped his T7 while standing still and bent the exhaust bracket causing the exhaust to hit the swing arm exactly as you described. It is in my opinion a design fault by Yamaha but as you say there is always something right. Everything you say here is worth a T7 owner looking at. Very informative. Great job 👏🏽

After watching you and nomad sweeden I ditched the ktm reliability and picked up my first T700. 2024. Now adding a high mount hp corse.

Keep up the great work. Love the videos.

I have installed on my Tenere the Balckwidow exaust which I'm in love with her, 6 months later I bought the full exaust and removed the Euro 5 catalytic, man this changed the behavior of the bike. It feels like a big first bike now.

[mazdar]

Sounds better. And quieter. Didn’t think that could be done. But I like it.

[PatchedBandit]

I'm glad you got the high pipe! 🙂

[Patshes]

Looks very well made and a good addition to your bike. Good that it is out of the way when putting the bike down.

[edwinchirec.]

Very nice! It looks much much better and the fact that you don’t have to worry about bending the frame in a small drop… well that’s just peace of mind 👍🏻

Truthfully this was what I was worried about when you did the side by side old v new bike video. The old exhaust [s] on my 950adv and xt660z are up out of the way which I prefer. I think you made a well thought out and accurate video, and between 10-15mins are perfect.
Keep up the good work, thanks Kev [ England]

Thanks for another great video Pavlin.
The only concern I have for this modification is the large aluminium bracket fixing the muffler to the underside of the bike, knowing how alu fatigues and eventually cracks I'd much prefer if it were steel.
Thanks again.

Thank you sir i got my Tenere like 2 weeks ago and right away noticed how the stock one looks like the first thing that hits the ground and it’s welded bracket 😅, this video was a big help knowing its easy to mount and will be helpful again once i buy one and rewatch to remember all the steps. Thank you 🙏

Nice video Pavlin, how about a follow up on how you installed the stock indicators up on the tail piece (looks like a few people have asked for the same thing).

[MK-muif]

Mivv made a good job! You made a good job Pavlin too!:)

[allanb]

Great informative review, thanks. I was driving in your country 2 weeks ago, crossed from Turkey, the queue going into Turkey was 2 km long, so they would be there for a while. Great adventure for a 71 year not a bike.

[Matt-epsu]

Do you have a video where you see the modification you made to put the direction lights in that position?

[hazcat]

Pavlin, You can tell them you sold one. I picked one up from their USA distributor in North Carolina. Very reasonably priced. US $480.00 plus shipping.

I am on 70.000 Km with the original pipe position doing a lot of off-road riding. I only put on a lighter slip on. I came off the bike a few times. NO Problems so far. In my opinion it is creating a drama where absolutly no drama is. It also creates some disadvantages (indicators, center of gravity...). Greetings from Germany, Stefan.

Great video - I was looking for a high mount exhaust for my Tenere but was worried about being too loud and tyre clearance on big block off road tyres. This Mivv looks great though. I`ve really enjoyed your modification videos, thanks!
