Whats up everyone!! Today I want to talk about a few minor things I don't like about my 2024 Yamaha MT07! From suspension and control issues, to electronics and user interface I have. a few minor issues I want totally about in todays vlog.
This issues are by no means major and to be honest they're very minor. This. motorcycle is $7-8k so we should expect perfection however I felt some of this complaints are worth speaking about. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
But I have to say, this with the Akrapovic full system is probably the best sounding bike out there for me personally
I agree! Especially in the low RPM range 😎
M4 without the baffle sounds better in my opinion. It us crazy loud tho lol
M4's are crazy lol
I LOVE these New MT07s. I liked the Old ones BUT this new version LOOKS AMAZING.
I love them all. Equal opportunity 😎
Just picked mine up last week got the black one glad to see this Vlogs keep it up
Thanks! Enjoy that bike! 😎
Being able to buy a bike like this yet not being fully happy about just shows how money doesnt buy happiness. Most cant even afford this bike.
its only 8 grand, thats not a whole lot
It’s 168 a month that’s not a lot of money
I've barely ridden mine and totally agree that the black plastic part scratches way easily, I don't even know how it's getting scratched.
The mystery continues 🤣🤣 I’ve seen Jake The Garden Snake take his plastic off a buncha times I might try and coat it / wrap it if it gets bad 😎
Man , i was planning to go for mt09, but ever since i heard the sound of Mt07 with akra full system, my god, it changed my mind
Either bike is a good choice my dude, the 70 or so HP of the 07 is plenty for me. 👍😎
The amount of times you said "the hood" is insane 😭😂
It’s in fact the hood 😎🤣
Back again on a rainy day in the south wondering if paramoto has uploaded recently only to find a new video. Can’t wait for my mt-07!
I’m here every Tuesday my friend 😎 Also noodling with doing shorts between regular videos 👍
I agree, 5 gallon tank would be sweet for commuting!!!
I have to stop and get gas like every other ride 🤣🤣
Great video! Would you consider the mt-07 to be a good beginner bike? I’m 6 1 and it’s the only bike I’ve sat on that is comfortable 😅
You can make any bike work for your beginner bike. Todays video is all about that, it drops at 2pm today. 😎👍
did you have to do a ecu tune or any type of tune for the aftermarket exhaust ?
Nope, this exhaust is designed for this motorcycle 🤗
Did you reflash the computer? Or install a fuel mgmnt for the exhaust? Or just running the stock fuel mgmnt?
All stock homie, this exhaust is designed for this bike so no shannanigans are required 👍😎
@@Paramoto959 gay
@@arthurfoyt6727 I’m just half gay bro… 🤣
@@Paramoto959 Nope. Gay is gay. Have a fun "pride" month.
The MT07 is NOT designed for high speed nor for highway miles.
@@arthurfoyt6727 I think every motorcycle can be good at just about anything. It’s really more about the rider
i own a 2022 MT07 & now that you mentioned it, it could use a larger gas tank........maybe feels a bit "light" in the front end when i'm going over 110...? but i'm ok w/ it as it is... i haven't noticed any scratches but like you try to keep keys & metal zippers away from the tank...i just love the raw power....especially going from 0-70.....thats where it's at...!!!
There’s no reason this bike couldn’t have a standard 4.5 or even bigger 😎
I have the same bike and fully agree with your observations. I think Yamaha was trying to keep the price low by not adding a higher end suspension. There are some people that spent a $1500+ dropping a high end aftermarket suspension and claim it made a HUGE difference. I think Yamaha also didn't want to take away sales from the MT09 that has those upgrades. Bottom line is for price the MT07 is hard to beat. Great bike!
I can see the logic in this especially the bit about taking sales from the Mt09. But also I believe the mt09 in std trim is marginally better and the sp is really where the suspension actually was rectified
Yeah I can see that, make it a clear upgrade try to push people to buy another bike in the line up. 😎
I’ve heard really good things about the MT09 sp
@@Paramoto959 apparently a lot of people said the standard Mt09 felt wonky and suspension wasn't confidence inspiring in the corners and also people tried fixing it with suspension upgrades however this still didn't fix the issue so people started to feel it was chassis related.
Well chassis issues would certainly be less easy to fix 😎
I find my speedometer screen scratches easy, wish they would have put butter glass on it. I did order a glass screen cover.
I had a feeling that would be the case so the first thing I did was order a screen protector. My last bikes display was smudged early and it always drive me crazy 🤣🤣
finally a review from someone whos not a first time rider....idk how much they glaze themselves as if they ridden anything besides a 150cc or some shit
Hey man riding a 150 or a 125 is experience.. of some sort lol 🤣
I have a 36 gallon tank in my truck and it feels like I have to get gas once a year. Amazing feature. Range is arguably the most important attribute of any vehicle but it gets sacrificed for other stats, even for the F35. 3.7 gal tank sucks. You're right they should have done 5 and customers would have loved that.
36 gallons would be super nice I feel like I’m always at the gas station 🤣
the feeling of it not being planted is maybe also a suspension setup that is not optimal. Did you ride one with the Öhlins suspension? I would be interested if it feel any different.
I bet it would. Of course I think the rider has a lot to do with it as well. My previous 3 main motorcycles were super bikes. So I’m used to essentially laying on the front tire. But 70+ with a head wind on the highway isn’t fun 😎
Lower your tire pressure in the front and rear slightly. Lower your front forks half an inch. And tighten down your rear shock a little
Interesting perspective. I'll now go check out your video from a week ago that says you no longer ride.
It’s why I took a break I still ride 😎
Please do a video on your helmet setup, I really want to start vlogging but have no idea how to start
Ok when you looking to start?
@@Paramoto959 honestly as soon as I can but financially I would guess in about 2 months
@@wronger1000 can you send me an email at paramoto959@gmail.com and I’ll do whatever I can to help you out or even easier.. can you message me on Instagram? I don’t know if I’ll get to making that video but I want to help you if I can.
what's your though on suzuki gsx 8s vs the mt 07?
I haven’t seen one yet so I can’t really speak to them 😎
Lowering tire pressure to 28 and 32 the bike feels more stable. Also, lowering the front forks half an inch. Cranking down the rear shock help too. World of difference.
I havent messed with the suspension but honestly I’ve just gotten used to it 😎
@@Paramoto959 idk how much weight, but the rear is soft as hell. I cranked mine down till it only had like 2 notches left. Helps alot
Little more planted? 😎
@@Paramoto959 oh yea. She didn't like going fast. We've come to a compromise now.
Compromise? lol
You an LEO? Good luck on the tryouts bro. I’m preparing to go through the federal firearms instructor course. 💪🔥
Didn’t make it, went from crushing it, too getting hosed big time. 🤷🏻
I find the gearbox to be a bit clunky sometimes
Yeah I def see that. I prefer it over mushy though which some of these bikes can be. I prefer to think of it as a more positive mechanical feel, rather then clunky. But I really gotta force myself to think positive these days. #old and grumpy 🤣🤣
For a height of 190cm, is MT07 a good option?
I don't see why not, a lot of sport / naked bikes have similar rider triangles so you're gonna be cramped either way. I'm 5'10 and I have a bit of room to move my legs a bit. You could always go sit on one to find out! If you buy one and need some room to stretch out you can always put on a frame slider or cage to prop a foot up from time to time :)
Can someone light me up about what type of helmets are that. They look great!
Icon Variant 👍😎
Been riding the MT07 for about a year now.
Biggest weak points: floaty, soft suspension and the on-off throttle is pretty bad.
You feel exactly what your front tire is doing, yet it feels very numb.
I started testing more bikes and noticed that almost every other bike got a better suspension and throttle feel.
The throttle has a long way to open up, yet its jerky when opening it as soft as possible.
Combine that with strong engine breaking and the springy suspension and this bike is basically just a stunt bike..
It’s definitely not perfect but I also like how raw it is. 😎
@@Paramoto959 That's true. And you can't stop smiling while riding. Even if you're riding home in the cold at night after 5 hours of slaying asphalt. Every downshift sounds orgasmic..
@@Vogel335 so well put 😎
3.7 gallon tank?
i have a 23 and im almost certain it has a 2.7 gallon tank?
Yeah it’s 3.7 although sometimes it feels like 2.7 with how much I stop at the gas station 🙄
@@Paramoto959 makes more sense lol im replacing my gas cap with a keyless because for the second time i almost couldn't get my cap open took several minutes of trying and i have done it every 2 days for the past year so its not me.
@glockmodder I’d like to do the same but mostly for looks, I haven’t had any issues with mine what’s going on with that?
@@Paramoto959 its definitely the key way because its like its the wrong key and its random when it happens but im over it this is my excuse to blow another 200$ on my bike 😍
I like the way you think lol
I heard chiropractor once said, I will never ride a bike on the freeway. Be careful man.
All my favorite activities are to my detriment 🤣🤣
What is in your opinion the best interval to lube chain ?
I am not a role model for chain maintenance lol I hate it more than anything 🤣🤣 I’d say anytime it looks like it needs it, or anytime you wash the bike or it looks dry then spray it down.
However… I’ve ridden motorcycles for around 10 years. I’ve never not a single time needed to replace a chain or sprocket. So.. the way I think about it is time is money. Is it worth my time in the life of the bike to spend countless hours cleaning something that I’ll likely never need to replace? Or should I just say F it and just realize that I may have to replace it once because of poor maintenance? A few Hundo vs countless hours doing something I hate… I’ll do the bare minimum 🤣🤣
i own a 2022 MT07 & i noticed my chain looks dry, a tiny bit rusty look to it so i watched some videos on youtube & just bought a small can of STP chain lube spray at walmart for under 10.oo I'm putting on Heated grips in a couple of days & i'll then spray down the chain too...
My problem is OCD if I’m gonna clean something it’s gonna be spotless or it annoys me. The thing with chains is they never get all the way clean… lol
@@Paramoto959 I'm not going for "spotless" i just don't want it "dry/rusty" looking....i'll probably try to spray it a bit every 2-3 months....i'll try to pick up a chain brush somewhere...
Anytime you see the rollers shiney I’d give it a spray. You can’t really over lube a chain. The worst thing that happens is some flings off on to your bike and you have to wipe it off. I’d say every few rides when you’re done and the chain is hot give it a coat and you’ll be golden. 👍😎
This is so "pride".
it's NOT a high speed bike nor a road bike.
Get a fookin clue and realize that the bike is perfect for local commuting.
I can’t tell of you’re being serious.. 🤔
Did I heard $7300 ..?
I did spend over $9k with tax
Pls be more accurate
Good video anyway
That is the accurate price of the bike broski. +parts/tax/title/dealer fees it’s all included in the break down. 👍
Base price $8199 broski that over 9 grand out the door BRO, ZERO research
Go watch my breakdown video Brobrahaim Lincoln, I got the bike for $7300.. 🤣
i noticed that too...my 2022 MT07 was out the door 9,600.xx
took it home the first day & switched to a 950.oo Corbin seat & sissy bar i had ordered as i waited the 3 1/2 months to get the bike....
I just love the mt07 i will never sell it ❤
I’d like to keep mine forever too 😎
I think part of the reason for that 3.7 gallon tank is protection if the bike goes down. It has like plastic clip ons on either side of the tank that take up a decent amount of space. If you drop the bike there's a good change the gas tank isn't damaged. Pretty nice feature for a first time rider.
That’s good to know tbh thank you 😎
Cool story bro 🙃
Thanks! lol
My SV650 feels way more planted than my MT 07 especially on the interstate.
What’s the weight on the SV my MT is probably 390 ish pounds I assume that’s why
@@Paramoto959 My SV weighs about 420 pounds and my MT 07 weighs about 390 pounds, both after mods. I think that it’s also because of the suspension. The suspension on my SV is better. They both still have stock suspension. My SV is a 2020 and my MT 07 is a 2022.
After riding mine for awhile now, roughly 2k miles I'm much more comfortable. Strong head winds on the highway though still aren't super fun.
Don’t make videos with titles like this you scare me 😅😂. Also keep making videos like this. 👍
It’s part of the game, you gotta click bait a tad because most watchers aren’t subscribers. And thank you, I was really proud of the presentation of this video. Intro and city riding. 😎
@@Paramoto959 oh I get it for sure, just making me a little uncomfortable going into the video 😅. I’m on a drz400 right now and plan to keep it but eyeing this for the summer. Great content. Subscribing.
Thank you subbing is the biggest compliment I can get 👍 DRZ’s are amazing I wish supermoto content did well on my channel I briefly had a WR250X and gawd it was awesome. Videos didn’t do well enough to justify keeping it.
You want a bigger tank get a tracer there’s no sense buying a bike and moaning about it you knew what the bike was when you brought it
The point of this video was to point out minor issues I see with the bike. I’m not bashing it by any means. I doubt any bike out there is completely perfect for anyone unless it’s custom.
Every bike has its pros and cons, he is just pointing them out. If he buys a tracer a pro will be the bigger tank, but it will also have its cons. We watch to see what they all are.
Its an invalid argument, the tracer isn't just an MT-07 with a bigger tank its closer to the 09 and its essentially an ADV bike. Its like saying hey if you don't like pizza, go eat lasagna...
Torn between this and the new CB650R…. I think im going to get the Honda.
Go get it if that’s what floats your boat 😎
