Simply put- doesn’t work
The app doesn’t work. That’s it- nothing anymore complicated than that. It does not open. It does not do anything. If you tap on the app to open, it opens a splash screen and then nothing happens.
Bluetooth Connection Loop
Able to pair the bike to the app the first time but every subsequent cycle of powering the bike off and back on, the Bluetooth connection goes into a connect/disconnect loop. You have to forget the device and repair every time you want to use it.
Genuinely Stinks
This app genuinely stinks, and needs tons of improvement. I have to forget the device, close the app, and re-pair Bluetooth every single time I want to use it. Unacceptable.
Terrible App
A complete waste of time and effort. I thought it would be super nice to connect to my bike and be able to control music and volume. When it works its cool, but that is maybe 2% of the time I am on the bike, it randomly disconnects, won't reconnect. Junk
Does Not Stay Connect
Absolutely awful app. Does not reconnect after turning the key off. Requires you to forget the Bluetooth connection in phone settings to make it work again every key cycle.
App Does Not Connect Automatically
When my motorcycle (2026 Tenere 700) starts I see the app is briefly connected on the motorcycle screen but it doesn't actually connect in the app on the phone. The only way for me to get it to reliably connect is to first forget the Bluetooth connection in the iOS Bluetooth settings and then opening the y connect app after which it will reliably connect. Can this please be looked into as this is incredibly frustrating.

Connection issues!
Like many other reviewers, pairs just fine but then never pairs again unless you delete the Bluetooth association and re pair. App is not worth the hassle. Come on Yamaha! Don’t ignore your customers. Contact me if you want a test flight reviewer for a new release.
Useless
First time leaving a review on an app, but this one is exceptional. Judging by all the negative reviews I am not alone. I’m going to take Yamaha to task on this as should other users, or nothing will change. By relying on an app that controls half the user interface, Yamaha are required, by law, to make sure it works. It is against trading standards to sell something that does not operate as advertised and expected. The app itself will pair once, and once only, to an iPhone. Thereafter it alternates between ‘connected’ and ‘disconnected’ in a bug-ridden frenzy, that fails to make a Bluetooth connection. I have not gone beyond that layer to see the faults others are reporting.

Fix the app please
Love the app if it would work correctly I should not have to go into my Bluetooth settings and forget the device every time because it will not reconnect
Total garbage
The new update actually made it worse. You have to manually connect it every time you use it and it only stays connected for a few seconds. I guess I was optimistic that Yamaha would fix it. This app is total garbage.
Yamaha Tenere 2025
Suck not
Work not able to Connect …. Last version work.

Not Great
This app is not great and it’s not necessary. The phone should just connect to the bike without having to go through an app. One issue I continue to have is that it resets my clock every time I use the app. Which is only about once every few months because this app is not worth using generally speaking it’s mostly just for data collection for Yamaha and for no other purpose for the user.

Why don’t you fix it?
You updated the app to version 3.9 yet did not bother to fix the connection issue that everyone is complaining about. The app can connect once and then you have to remove the bike from your Bluetooth list to make it connect the next time. This is not useful for daily use. It used to work many months ago. This app is useless on iPhone as it stands right now.

Worthless
This app is absolute trash. I got it to work one time on my 2025 Tenere and I cannot get it to link up and stay linked up. Yamaha needs to figure this out because this is ridiculous.
2026 Tenere 700
This is by far the most useless thing I’ve used in a while.
Every time the bike is started it won’t connect. Have to forget connection and re-pair. The worst. Wish I could give it zero stars.

Có 0 sao thì sẽ cho 0, chứ 1 sao thì còn ưu ái quá
Tuỳ theo tâm trạng của nhà điều hành mà app lúc dùng được lúc không. Bày ra làm gì cho khách bực mình
Won’t pair.
Won’t pair. Worthless. And who came up with the garbage turn signal switch gear?!? What a liability- the switch, not the designer. But seriously, no dedicated cancel button?
Worlds Worst App
This app makes me question Yamaha as a company. I’m able to connect the bike to the phones Bluetooth but the app constantly fails to connect. If for a magical reason it does connect it loses connection rather quickly. Yamaha…you are global corporation….please hire a few software engineers.
Useless
Can Yamaha engineering investigate the reconnection/ Bluetooth handshake process for the XTZ7S CCU? Your current app ecosystem has software problems that aren’t simply user setup errors.
Don’t bother downloading
Update:
3.9.0 didn’t fix anything for me.
IOS 26.6.1
Just like it has been, it will connect the first time when pairing, and either drop connection with the bike after a few minutes, or won’t auto connect when starting the bike the following time. Still a useless app.
