Interesting....
Yamaha Australia was putting them on the initial S10's back in 2010 - BUT my 2015 ZE Super Tenere did not come with them!Dallara said:~
Hate to burst your bubble, Gents...
But those filters have been available for a long, long time. In fact, I think Yamaha started offering them in Australia back as early as 2012, but certainly by 2014. A quick forum search will show lots of discussion about them... Pros and cons for their use, USA vendors trying to sell them over here for a premium price exceeding that of just ordering them from Australia, were they a performance enhancement or detriment, etc., etc.
While they are interesting, it's more interesting that they seem more to be offered by the Aussie Yamaha importer, and not actually specified by the factory in Japan. Again, a forum search will show discussion on this and the UNI filter origins in Australia. Still, Yamaha chooses *NOT* to offer them, nor specify them for use on the Super Tenere in any of their other markets, nor do they appear in the factory parts catalogs in any other region.
Just FYI...
