Got my R7 about 3 weeks ago. It’s my first street bike, coming from the Dirt since I was a kid. The R7 is a great bike. It reminds me of a 450f Yamaha. Although I never had a 450f, I was 14 riding YZ 125 2-stroke. First service is coming up at 600 miles and I’m at 520. I took the bike up to the Canyons and it was so awesome. Learning to lean the bike is an awesome feeling.
@@sasha_ridez Yeah, if you are riding the 125 you can definitely handle the R7 once you’re 18 depending on your height. It’s not very heavy and the power isn’t overwhelming but it’s always there. Just got back from Crystal Lake canyons and wow. I’m really dialing it in and my comfort level went from a 5 to a 8 in the turns in just a month.
You don't need a tune but without one your bike will either run lean or rich, lean being the one you should worry about (Engine heating up). A tune is recommended after an exhaust install. If you just have a slip-on generally you don't need to tune your bike. Also, the O2 sensor doesn't make a difference either. The O2 sensor measures O2, its fuel that missing which leans out the mixture. If you want everything to run correctly an ecu tune is needed. Good video tho, enjoyed it!
I love how Yamaha says the r7 is a beginners bike when my bro is saying "Pop up wheelies like crazy because low end torque"... lol recipe for disaster for beginners imo
That was a super cool video buddy. The insertion of Bombgardener was awesome. Great edit and super content, thanks and keep up the good work. Ride on and enjoy the day
Sick!!!! Thats what I'm talking about, that was way easier then I thought it would be. You can tell it has some torque. Ahhh man that is the perfect bike!!! Thanks for putting that together that was awesome, got to sub to him too. Looks sooo fun!!! 🤙🤙
@@ScoutsOut those second gear power stand up’s were impressive for that bike, my stock 08 gsxr750 no chance. I’d say second gear clutch ups would be easier to learn, 1st gear throttle control is key or you could loop out kinda easy. 🤙🏼
Thanks man, no sadly I haven’t. I took my zx4rr to the track this weekend and had it done and it was a world of difference, I will be doing the r7 soon though
Looking to squeeze out some more performance numbers out the little cp2. What are some performance mods other than exhaust you suggest before taking it on the Dyno?
I put the DNA air filter and stage two on. The air filter I didn't notice any change but the stage 2 I sure did. If you wanna go further supposedly the velocity stacks are a big improvement. Or you could go all on with the yoshimura air box replacement
thanks man I really appreciate that, its funny how the editing just becomes a game and another hobby right along side the bike lol. I appreciate you noticing the efforts
Awesome and funny collaboration ;) i was about to ask if you upload a video about air filter then i saw this coming ^^ looking forward to your next upload and the arrival of my R7 ^^
I see everyone with a black R7 and yet when I go into a dealership nobody sells black R7s is it a fairing replacement or is it actually a factory color
Depends on what you mean for beginner Never ever ridden any kind of motorcycle then no If you have ridden dirt bikes growing up and your good with the basic fundamentals of riding a motorcycle but this is your first street bike then yea I think it’s ok
The ECU flash must really make THAT much of a difference then. My R7 pulls up with no clutch no problem in second gear, I’ve even been able to pull it up a few times in third with no clutch (it’s not ideal at all and you have to rock a tiny bit with it)
Your O2 sensor only compensates at idle and just above and wide open throttle, I have the FZ07 and just added the flash. It's worth it. I paid 250 or so with shipping. It left and came back in 5 days. It made a huge difference, upgrade your intake then flash the CPU. It will be the best money you spend.
I'm so glad that you cover the R7 as much as you do. I went with the M4 exhaust on my black R7, but I recently added to my garage the 60TH World GP Anniversary Edition, and ordered a Razor Tip Full Exhaust - Yamaha R7 from TOCE Performance. Just because aesthetically I think that it would look good on that particular bike. So before it's shipped or I put it on my bike, any thoughts or feedback about TOCE Performance exhaust systems?
Thanks man, I have yet to use a toce I’m sure they are all good though, each might just give a different harmonic but I would think as far as performance they should all give relatively the same flow out of the motor
Thank you for your advice on the TOCE exhaust. Craig, from MotoBros in Lewisville, TX did the install, he even did a TH-cam short of the bike. It is much louder than my M4 exhausts, and really looks good on the 60TH anniversary. Check out MotoBros when you get a chance, I think that you may like their website and TH-cam content.
on this bike I say yes, even with my air filter and stage 2 cap Im not running to hot or going lower than 8% on my fuel trims. I think the gain from a good tune would be worth it though
that varies for people, I honestly don't like to ride it for more than an hour at a time. Other sport bikes like the Ninja 650, cbr650 I also just got the new Aprilia Tune 660 and those are way more comfortable to ride IMO
When you're applying throttle for the wheelie, how much are you applying? Full throttle? 3/4? And to come back down, pressing the rear brake down slightly or a little more pressure than normal? Thanks for the tips
start by giving it little throttle and work your way up to where it goes up to ballance point. you dont want to give it to much because u might loop. For the back brake part i recomend starting to wheelie at low speeds where you have nothing to worry about if you panic and slam on the brake too hard. You will get the feel for it after some time.
@@ScoutsOut that woulda been puurrfect at the same time I think the subtle rub was awesome to catch XD , really enjoyed the video especially the R7 content!
Thanks bro, yea unless you want to get more out of the bike. You can still get it tuned run much better. I just plan to wait until I get the intake installed and a tuner to have the best performance gain I can get
@@ScoutsOut I’m just looking for good sound. My worry is it affecting the bike in any negative way, so if that’s not the case with the Yoshimura system, I’m gonna get it :)
I just bought the R7, and the suspension both front and rear are so terrible. I was scouring yt for some videos on suspension upgrade on R7, but found none. However, bumped into your channel. Just wanted to ask if you know any type of suspension that I should go for? Ohlins guys said that installing ohlins wouldn’t be worth it as the chassis of R7 is not typically of a sports bike and the naked bikes ohlins suspension wouldn’t do any good because they will squish too soon while applying the front break . So, spending on ohlins wouldn’t be worth it. I was wondering if I can ever get an upgrade. The suspension in the bike feels like I’m on a yo yo ball. Or is it just me
To be honest I’m not great with suspension. I am terrible at setting it up, have you tried setting it up or paying someone to set it up for you? I know mine needs work especially the forks my rebound is really harsh and is making my front tire cup.
@@ScoutsOut yes, I tried, everyday. And paid a couple of guys to do it for me. The problem is in the substandard springs in the front forks. I checked on the revzilla site, they’ve got only rear suspension. But this bike and it’s engine and ergos are so good that if I could upgrade the suspension, this will be the only bike I’ll ride till become a cripple old man.
I can’t lol I suck at wheelies, I n first gear going slow it will wheelie and clutch us is needed for 2nd . But if your talking supper slow creep lol would say yes you could clutch it up
I don’t have a phone mount on my R7, but the blue bike at the end is BombGardener’s. He has an install vid on his channel if you want to check it out th-cam.com/video/huMA5B8ujiM/w-d-xo.html
I'm looking into exhausts for this bike, and all the ones that sound good are "race only" and "not intended for street use". I'm afraid to get one and get pulled over and get a ticket plus have to replace it. What is your experience with the Yoshimura?
I guess it depends on the state, city, country you live in. We still do t have to get smogged so being pulled over and cited by a dbag is always possible. From my experience and where I live, police have better things to do
An O2 sensor doe's not adjust the entire map, it only adjusts 3% +/- in the low throttle and RPM, up to 5% of TPS and 3500PRM.. An O2 sensor is a narrow band sensor, You need a Wideband/Lamda sensor with Autotune software to do what you are suggesting. If you're fitting a complete exhaust system, you should definitely speak to your dyno tune specialist.
Great Vid man! I was wondering if you can do a video installing a quad lock phone mount or something similar. The R7 has a different stem so Im not sure it will work
Thanks, I’ve never been one for phone mounts on a bike. Bombgardener is working a vid for that if you wanna check out his channel, he should have it out soon. If I do a phone mount it’s going to be in the inset of the fuel tank, just not sure when I’ll do it
After having mine for more than a year I can say that it’s too light and therefore if you, yourself is small and weigh less than 150lbs, from personal experience I can say the wind isn’t my friend… I don’t know if stripping it to look cleaner and installing a aftermarket exhaust made the a difference. But the question is anyone experiencing getting pushed back and forth by light winds on the freeway? Is it just me or what?
Engine modifications like an exhaust system, will change how much air and fuel the bike needs. The bikes computer controls that but can only change so much. A tune is changing what the computer does for air fuel mixture.
@@ScoutsOut the first thing you do when you get in a new car: adjust the seat, move mirrors around, moce the steering wheel around...ect, you adjust the ergos to better fit your body so that you can drice it better. Its the exact same concept on a bike, but with clipons and rearsets they serve a dual purpose. You dump the bike= after market rearsets are easier and less expensive to fix as are clipons. Not to mention the suspension on the R7 feels like a pogo stick out of box. Making your bike easier and more predictable is worth its weight in gold. Can save you from so many accidents whether you are a new rider or an old rider, not to mention it allows for better handling which makes a bike like the R7 so much more fun.
I dunno I am looking at the yoshi but I had an SC project on my Mt07 and whilst I know that was too loud to be reasonable the yoshi just sounds so sad in comparison 😥
@@ScoutsOut I have, it sounds very good just the SC project sound savage as fuck if you know what I mean. Just really raw and loud, but I do need to get a quieter exhaust and the yoshi does sound good
I know what ya mean I’ve always wanted an sc project. I remember the sound the v4 Aprilia makes it just sounds sick. I’m probly going to put one on my tuono 660
@@ScoutsOut just ordered the yoshi for my R7, not sure about where you are but race tracks have a noise limit and I can't find a baffle for the CR-T anywhere and the main reason I swapped the MT07 for the R7 was for twisties and track days
I live in CA and the main track I go to doesn’t has sound restrictions but if I finally go to laguna seca like I want it does have sound restrictions. But the yosh I got came with the baffle
This is where I bought them, looks like the price went up a little www.motovationusa.com/-stealth-sport-mount-style-winglet-mirror-set-by-rizoma-yamaha-r6-BSS020?mmyId=178554&mmy=Yamaha-YZF-R7-2021
once I got my R7 I'll definitely do the same..:) btw do you have future plans for aftermarket adjustable levers? I'm planning to change mine since the stock levers are not friendly for short fingers like mine..hehehe
Right on yea I’m loving the mods I’ve put on the bike. I did just get levers finally and that’s going to be next weeks vid. The levers are nice but I can’t recommend them as I had to modify them to get them to work. At least companies are starting to finally make them though
Still nothing out that I’ve seen, but I did just see a vid from Yamaha promoting gilles who makes parts and they have a nice set of levers but I can’t find them on there site yet
I’m thinking about buying this bike. But I need to figure out a way to rise the clip-ons a bit and lower the pegs a bit. Let’s face it, this is a street bike, I don’t think there was any reason for Yamaha to make the ergos so aggressive.
People in my country love those mirrors and pay 300$ less to get a fake replica on theirs R6s, have to say in your vid those Rizoma did look a lot better though
Your first mod should be a suspension setup to your weight. How much fork and shock travel are you using? I guarantee the front is spongy and the rebound is too fast causing the forks to pogo. Exhausts, mirrors, lights etc don't optimize the handling of the motorcycle. God gave you adjustable suspension for a reason. Use it.
Yup suspension is not set up for my weight it’s totally spongy and got to learn that for sure on the tack a few weekends ago, sadly vid not in order of priority just the upgrades I liked the most

Yea bro for sure I did this vid a while after the top 5 but I like the r6 tube Yamaha R7 Shorter throttle tube & new grips th-cam.com/video/TUchT-t9xBU/w-d-xo.html
"Short shifting is basically coming off the throttle shifting and then getting back on the throttle" No, that is not short shifting. Short shifting is shifting lower in the RPM's than you'd normally shift.
i dont get bike mirrors they dont work... rear view mirror in cars is already shit visibility but on a bike its like a legal issue and nothing to do with actually using them i grew up riding dirtbikes on street i just look back so much easier you make sure you have room before you look

Thanks, I’ve never been one for phone mounts on a bike. Bombgardener is working a vid for that if you wanna check out his channel, he should have it out soon. If I do a phone mount it’s going to be in the inset of the fuel tank, just not sure when I’ll do it
keep up making vids!!!!!!!!!
Thanks man, Will do it’s been fun!!
My OVD is kicking in on the mirrors. I think they’re swapped. They look upside down.
haha yea I hear ya, I think they would look a little better pointing down as well
This Paso Robles,Ca ? .... looks familiar
Haha yup sure is
@@ScoutsOut Knew it! Saw Estrella Road. I use to live off of Branch/ burgundy off of 46. Good times. Hell yeah dude. #805
Haha small world, loads of fun back roads out here
Doesn’t the r7 come with a quick shifter?
You can ask for it from the dealer for more money, but most don’t come with it
After having mine for more than a year I can say that it’s too light and therefore if you, yourself is small and weigh less than 150lbs, from personal experience I can say the wind isn’t my friend… I don’t know if stripping it to look cleaner and installing a aftermarket exhaust made the a difference. But the question is anyone experiencing getting pushed back and forth by light winds on the freeway? Is it just me or what?
Where I live the wind is bad but with time you get used to it
missed the upgrade of turboing the r7 :D
Haha not sure they will let me race a turbo r7 but man it would be fun to do
I just bought an R7 and want to change the exhaust. I’m not familiar with what tuning is, could someone explain that please?
Engine modifications like an exhaust system, will change how much air and fuel the bike needs. The bikes computer controls that but can only change so much. A tune is changing what the computer does for air fuel mixture.
@@ScoutsOut thank you I really appreciate the help!
I don’t think there is an auto blipper for the R7. It has a traditional cable throttle.
Good call man I don’t know what I was thinking, after quite a bit of research it looks like you technically can but they look a little sketchy.
Rearsets, clipons, and suspension should be top on this list, even above tune and exhaust.
For the percentage of people that can tell the difference I would agree but the majority will not and just want to enjoy some cosmetic upgrades 🤷🏻♂️
@@ScoutsOut the first thing you do when you get in a new car: adjust the seat, move mirrors around, moce the steering wheel around...ect, you adjust the ergos to better fit your body so that you can drice it better.
Its the exact same concept on a bike, but with clipons and rearsets they serve a dual purpose. You dump the bike= after market rearsets are easier and less expensive to fix as are clipons. Not to mention the suspension on the R7 feels like a pogo stick out of box. Making your bike easier and more predictable is worth its weight in gold. Can save you from so many accidents whether you are a new rider or an old rider, not to mention it allows for better handling which makes a bike like the R7 so much more fun.

Are the mirrors legal in germany?
I’m not sure man sry
what about auto tuners?
Yamaha R7 Tuned with FTECU! is it worth it?

I did this tuner
I dunno I am looking at the yoshi but I had an SC project on my Mt07 and whilst I know that was too loud to be reasonable the yoshi just sounds so sad in comparison 😥
It’s hard to tell in video, have your heard the yosh in person?
@@ScoutsOut I have, it sounds very good just the SC project sound savage as fuck if you know what I mean. Just really raw and loud, but I do need to get a quieter exhaust and the yoshi does sound good
I know what ya mean I’ve always wanted an sc project. I remember the sound the v4 Aprilia makes it just sounds sick. I’m probly going to put one on my tuono 660
@@ScoutsOut just ordered the yoshi for my R7, not sure about where you are but race tracks have a noise limit and I can't find a baffle for the CR-T anywhere and the main reason I swapped the MT07 for the R7 was for twisties and track days
I live in CA and the main track I go to doesn’t has sound restrictions but if I finally go to laguna seca like I want it does have sound restrictions. But the yosh I got came with the baffle
Mirror very nice how can I order?
This is where I bought them, looks like the price went up a little

No problem, there super nice
once I got my R7 I'll definitely do the same..:)
btw do you have future plans for aftermarket adjustable levers?
I'm planning to change mine since the stock levers are not friendly for short fingers like mine..hehehe
Right on yea I’m loving the mods I’ve put on the bike. I did just get levers finally and that’s going to be next weeks vid. The levers are nice but I can’t recommend them as I had to modify them to get them to work. At least companies are starting to finally make them though
@@ScoutsOut wow nice..looking forward to your new episodes..:)
@@ScoutsOut where should I get mine? Wait for tst?
Still nothing out that I’ve seen, but I did just see a vid from Yamaha promoting gilles who makes parts and they have a nice set of levers but I can’t find them on there site yet
@@ScoutsOut I’ll stay in tune getting mine in 30 days
puig, yoshi, rizoma, quick shifter,tst lights,
I’m thinking about buying this bike. But I need to figure out a way to rise the clip-ons a bit and lower the pegs a bit.
Let’s face it, this is a street bike, I don’t think there was any reason for Yamaha to make the ergos so aggressive.
Woodcraft clip-on risers 50mm clamp would raise the bars. Woodcraft rearsets might lower and bring forward the foot position a little
I mean why not just get a mt07? It looks dope and is a very nice street bike. Playful and powerful for the street.
@@rubberduckyy5098 the MT07 has bad brakes, suspension I like some fairing for the highway.
People in my country love those mirrors and pay 300$ less to get a fake replica on theirs R6s, have to say in your vid those Rizoma did look a lot better though
Yea for sure, I was looked at a set on eBay but I really like these rizomas
Your first mod should be a suspension setup to your weight. How much fork and shock travel are you using? I guarantee the front is spongy and the rebound is too fast causing the forks to pogo. Exhausts, mirrors, lights etc don't optimize the handling of the motorcycle. God gave you adjustable suspension for a reason. Use it.
Yup suspension is not set up for my weight it’s totally spongy and got to learn that for sure on the tack a few weekends ago, sadly vid not in order of priority just the upgrades I liked the most
That’s interesting would you give me a list of priorities for mods I’m picking my r7 up in 30 days
@@cameronjames9534 1 Watch Dave Moss Tuning series of videos on the bike beginning with this one th-cam.com/video/cHmMf2zCtyM/w-d-xo.html. Some of his videos are premium, totally worth the $10 for a month to watch them. 2 Either learn how to properly adjust your suspension setup (via Moss website) or pay Moss for his remote tuning session. Here's a free video about that service th-cam.com/video/sl4Ji_c-8L0/w-d-xo.html. Process applies to street and/or track. 3 Change the fork oil to 20w, any brand (Moss uses Maxima). The stock fork oil is too thin. Fork oil "Dump and Run" how-to videos on Moss TH-cam channel and website. 4 Ergonomics. Adjust all the stock controls (bars, levers, pegs, shifter) as best you can for now. Here is a free video about the process in general th-cam.com/video/47YG4dAwOIM/w-d-xo.html. The R7 ergos video will show you the problems with the stock bits. Purchase aftermarket controls (bars, levers, rearsets) asap. 5 If you're over 200 lbs you'll need to respring the forks and the shock. The shock is fine otherwise unless you can ride at knee down speeds, then you'll need an aftermarket or surrogate shock soon. You can learn all about how to do this on the Moss website, or pay him for a remote tuning session.

r6 throttle tube!!
Yea bro for sure I did this vid a while after the top 5 but I like the r6 tube Yamaha R7 Shorter throttle tube & new grips

best mod is asv short clutch lever
ASV levers are definitely nice
I don't think shortshifting is what you explained. At least that isn't what we call it here. We call shifting earlier "shortshifting".
Your right I know, I’ve said that in two videos. It’s just clutchless shifting, I get skater brained sometimes
@@ScoutsOut I really enjoyed the video. I went for the r-racer screen by puig. Totally agree with your recommendations.
@@tobiassergeant4852 awesome thanks man
Time stamps for each mod.
I’ll try and add them, I’ve been putting them on newer vids, thanks
link for windscreen is a r6 not a r7
Yes it is, that is correct
@@ScoutsOut does the 6 fit the 7?
Yes
I can’t hear it…
yea not well in this video, but I did multiple videos on the exhaust install and sound if you want to hear it better
"Short shifting is basically coming off the throttle shifting and then getting back on the throttle"
No, that is not short shifting. Short shifting is shifting lower in the RPM's than you'd normally shift.
Yes I had misspoke thank you, I described clutch-less shifting
Yamaha R7 launcing the Indonesian
Oh cool glad you guys will get the bike too, it’s a lot of fun
got an FZ07 as my first bike so an R7 might be what i go to in the future since the R6 is hella expensive xD
Yea the r6 is ridiculous now totally sucks, the fz is a great bike enjoy!
Those meers are $500 are you insane
Yea they were 400, not that that’s better, they are stupid expensive and sadly I like them so much I’d buy them again
damn bro your sound quality needs upgrade
Yea it sure does, just got a new mic a few months ago. Hopefully it’s better now 🤷🏻♂️
Those mirrors are completely stupid…less visibility equals dumb. Seems to be a “Murican
“ downgrade on most bikes.
🤣 give um hell bro!
Mod one. Get ride of it

I just bought one a month ago and felt disappointed based on what people saying made me wanna trade it in for a R1
Dang that sucks man, it’s not the fastest bike it depends on what you want to do with it and what bikes other people have to enjoy riding g in groups
i dont get bike mirrors they dont work... rear view mirror in cars is already shit visibility but on a bike its like a legal issue and nothing to do with actually using them i grew up riding dirtbikes on street i just look back so much easier you make sure you have room before you look
Yea mainly a legal thing and I hear ya, nothing ng safer than just turning and looking
