Very interesting to hear your perspective on the R7 as a track day hobby racer bike.
Another benefit would be a lot cheaper on tires.
Can't wait to see Max in twins cup after he wins the Junior Cup championship.
Good luck guys!
He had a pretty good start to the season last weekend at Road Atlanta. Go 48!!! - Van
Just finishing up a 2016 r1 track bike, your vids were the best journey however my build took 6-7 years bought from new a few things got in the way, appreciate your vids and respect to you,
From downunder!
Thank you for watching and happy to hear they have been helpful. - Van
Love what you've done with your channel. Good luck this year in Moto-America.
Thank you for watching, the kind words and GO 48!!! - Van
Really enjoy track builds and track discussions.
Thanks for watching. These projects are a ton of fun for sure. - Van
Love this channel! Just picked up an R7. Getting back into riding. Coming off some older 600s but absolutely loving the R7. Excited to take the journey with you on upgrades! 🍻
Thanks for watching. Looking forward to getting back out on the R7 for sure. - Van
Amazing built 👏👏🎉🎉....... I love this Yamaha r7.... Awesome 😎😎👍👍 greetings from India 🤘
Thank you for watching! - Van
You guys always put out great videos. Thanks for helping improve the sport that we all love.
You are welcome and thank you for watching! - Van
Wow that was very informative, you really explained a lot in this short video
Thank you .
I would of never imagined experiencing that until you broke everything down .
I think your going to really help out a lot of riders with this video .
Great content brother .
Thanks for watching, happy to hear you enjoyed it. - Van
Brian Van, Dude you are looking jacked!
Just trying to keep up with Max Van. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear WINNING
I have the Akrapovic S-Y7R12-APT race system and the Yoshimura air box and Nate over at 2 Wheel DynoWorks is telling me I can expect 12hp increase at the wheel with a proper ECU flash. 🤘😎🎸🏍
Looking forward to installing the airbox before the next ride. - Van
Thanks for the video Brian, I’m working through how to make mine a track bike as well. I lack the experience on a big bike on the track so this should fit well forcing me to learn to keep up corner speed. Would you consider the driver captive adjusters something that should be on a track bike or is there a better option?
I do not believe captive chain adjusters are a requirement for a track bike. End of the day the make changing the tire and adjusting the chain a little easier. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear awesome thanks van ya sold me, I got them, and the non abs lines and a rear axel slider. So the build begins lol thanks van looking forward to see what Max is riding next year!
Greetings of peace Van; I've been following your posts for some time; thanks for the information you shared. I appreciate the intimate look you shared with your thoughts. I have a 2021 R1M, do you have any ideas on the setup? Would changing the airbox for example make a difference?
IMO there would be no reason to change the airbox on that bike. Thanks for watching! - Van
not gonna lie, when you got the R7 last year, I thought Max was going twins cup this year, no clue it was going to be yours..
End of the day we will both be riding this bike. That said I do not expect we will race this in the Twins Class. - Van
Really a great build , Definitely inspires me to build my r6 out of curiosity , why havent you changed the master cylinder , I have a r6 and I dont know if i should upgrade or not its a track bike
I plan to do this at some point this season. To be fair the OEM master worked pretty well with the Vesrah XX pads I had installed. - Van
I’ll for sure be waiting for that Yoshi Air Box video, I wanna see what my R7 benefit from that on the street. Do you think you’ll add the Yoshi camshafts as well?
I have not looked into the cams yet. We will do an install as well as a ride review video for the airbox once I get that done. - Van
The Stock throttle is a very long travel twist for drag racing anyway ..
I am waiting for the MotionPro REV3 Throttle to be available. Once it is I will install it on the R7. We have it on the other bikes and love it. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear I was not able to find a brand that reduced total throttle wrist travel over all ..
The FZ-07 can be rather jerky throttle on the street .. Instant on and instant off throttle response.. It's hard to ride at a steady speed.. A little on the throttle and you accelerate above the speed limit.. A little off the throttle and you are into engine braking mode.
The Throttle on my Buell is not sensitive. It takes some drastic movement to accelerate or decelerate.. The engine acts sluggish compared to the Yamaha ..
The Buell Crankshaft and flywheel is a lot lighter than a Sportster yet.
I want to take my FZ-07 to the Drag strip and see if the 74 HP and 100# less weight can be the 103 HP Buell which ran 12.77 @110 MPH .
Also I need to learn to ride the rear brake to keep the wheelies down .. You have to slip the clutch or let off from the throttle or ride the rear brake or you will flip it over backwards.
I have done so many whole shots on dirt bikes but you just spin the rear wheel.
@@sportbiketrackgear I would like to have the wider bars on my FZ-07 like the MT-07 has.. I have maxed out the length my stock throttle, clutch cable and brake line can reach with 2' riser in the handle bars for my short arms.
Hey van whats up!! I am so glad i got this bike❤ how did the quickshifter feel? Is it better than the OEM? Loving that r7 buid
I have not used the OEM model but can tell you this one from FTECU worked great. - Van
Would a 190/50/17 wheel from a r6 fit the r7? Looking for some backup wheels to make tire changes easier
I have no idea if the R6 wheel fits the R7. Head over to one of the R7 forums, I am sure this has been covered in one of them. - Van
Brian, will there be an stg project zx4r?
Not sure what we will do next. That bike is on the list for sure. - Van
What about exhaust and an ECU reflash for 93 Octane gas?
This is not necessary, you can run the 93 without making any changes. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear Yes but you could advance the timing and make more power on 93 Octane. You are trying to get more power out of the bike.
My Yamaha Snowmobile .. has an R-1 engine in it .. I added a 4 degree offset key way in the flywheel.. It improved my gas mileage more than any noticeable power gains.
Advanced the timing 4 degrees from idle to wide open with is about 10,500 RPMS is how the snowmobile clutch is set up ..
In the hot rodding days we all advanced the timing by turning the Distributor a bit and checking the initial advance with a timing light ..
Modern V-8's have timing tables and a Detonation sensor. If the sensor detects detonation it retards the timing.
It is my understanding that modern bikes fuel and timing tables adjust for air temperature, coolant temps ect..
My Yamaha FZ-07 runs richer and makes way more power on Cold days.
for exampled I rode my FZ-07 177 miles over to SBT the day before we got 8 inches of snow the next day back in March. I really hurried home because I wanted to beat the snow Blizzard.
You had the Track suits on sale. I didn't want to buy one with out trying it on first.
Seems they said Medium was already sold out. I barley squeezed into a large since I gained 26# over the winter.
I looked at my sales records that was on March 2nd.
I cant ever get your website to work on my phone I was trying to buy a one piece suit and a helmet it won't let me select size to had to cart, it seems the drop down menus don't work just the color and size ones the rest are good, please fix I tried last month and today same issues occur
Not sure what the issue is but I can tell you hundreds of orders are placed on the site everyday. Shoot the team a call or an email and they can get an order placed for you. Orders@sportbiketrackgear.com or 888.784.4327 - Van
