Yamaha Tenere 700 Snorkel Filter

The FunnelWeb FWF 7889 is the snorkel filter for the Yamaha Ténéré 700 (all model years), an oiled foam element fitted at the intake snorkel, the very first opening dusty air passes through. Heavy dust gets stopped at the front door instead of being dealt with deep in the airbox, so the downstream filters spend their capacity only on the fine dust that matters most.

What it changes

• Heavy dust stops first: roost and sand are caught at the mouth, before airbox currents pull them in
• Easiest service point on the bike: a quick swap at camp versus opening the airbox mid-trip
• The main filter stays cleaner, much longer: teardown day shows how much never got further
• Oiled pyramid foam: washable and reusable like every stage of the system

Part of the Ténéré 700 three-stage system

This snorkel filter (7889) is stage one. Behind it, the FWF 7890 pre-filter absorbs the sustained load and the FWF 7891 main filter is the final guard. It earns its keep in sustained dust, desert riding, racing, long group rides, and on any trip where you want maximum time between airbox openings.

Care

Wash, dry completely, re-oil, reinstall, one element serves for seasons. Never use No-Toil brand oil or cleaner on a FunnelWeb filter; its chemistry attacks the foam adhesive and will cause premature failure. Full walkthrough: how to clean and re-oil a foam air filter.

FAQ

Does it choke the intake? A clean, oiled foam element at the snorkel flows freely, what actually costs power is a neglected main filter, which this stage exists to prevent.

Do I need it if I run the pre-filter? Main + pre-filter covers most riders; add the snorkel stage for sustained dust and multi-day self-sufficiency.
