I just got my 2022 r7 and I’ve been following your videos for my quick shifter, the flush turn signals, and the fender eliminator. Your videos have helped the install process go very smooth! Cant wait to just get my exhaust done!
So cool man, it’s good to hear the videos are helpful and congrats on the new bike
@@ScoutsOut I Appreciate man!!
No music/graphics intro...Love it...just gets right to it. It's the #1 reason I opt out of many other instructionals. Thanks again!
Thanks for the input man, glad the vid was helpful 🍻
Thank you so much for posting this video of our Yamaha R7 levers, very informative for us and your viewers. Unfortunately the lower hole must be a "press fit diameter" to fully eliminate any play around the sleeve. Based on your and other's feedback, we have amended our installation instructions which now mentions the usage of a hydraulic press or a bench vice clamp. We are very pleased to hear that you like the overall feel and ergonomic improvement of our R7 levers which are proudly designed, manufactured and assembled in Austria since 2008. Greetings from the MG Biketec team!
Thank you for the comment, I truly am enjoying the levers and was happy to see they were made in Austria. I thought about using my press to put in the roll pin I was more worried of damaging the levers or roll pin. I hope it works for others, cheers!!!
Got mine, they are awesone!
I just got some levers from Asv Inventions. They released a set specific for the R7. Thanks for posting a full installation instead of scrapping the vid because it doesnt fit. Great quality as always!
Nice dude, I was looking at them yesterday they look good and ASV are always good quality. Let me know how you like them and I’m glad the vid was still useful
I’m loving the following the R7 has already. This bike is beautiful.
For sure it’s been a good community of fans
Been waiting for your lever vid! Can't wait for your track day vid!
thanks man, im working the track vid now hopefully that will be out next week
Thanks for the vid; love that you helped out a buddy with original levers. I vice-pressed that inner barrel (very easy with a vise and a couple different sized sockets). So no drama there and they fit, look and feel great. They are worth the money, heavy CNC aluminum with 7 points of adjustment; much better than factory. Anniversary edition mods: M4 exhaust w/silencer (a must, seriously guys - foam ear plugs)-no flash or tuning,177degree temp even during summer in Arizona. White halo front flush turn signals, fender eliminator w/ tiny high intensity rear turn signals, quick shifter, light tinted wind screen, carbon wrapped plastics beneath pillion seat, frame sliders, rear spools, tank grips and clear tank protector to show off that beautiful red stripe. Next up, brake lines. Looking forward to track days...Peace all.
Nice dude, glad they worked out and the bike sounds like it’s coming together nicely
If I’d seen that bike irl I’d definitely fanboy hard, this is exactly how i want my R7 to look like once i get the money to buy one lol
Thanks bro, it’s coming out nice 👌🏼
That was very interesting, great work and as always fantastically explained mate.
Thanks for sharing and have a great Sunday. Ride on and cheers🍻
thanks ck cheers!!
1st time here, really good work! iam thinkin of gettin the R7 . i ll check every other video you have later !cheers from Greece
Welcome, I appreciate that! The r7 is a lot of fun🍻
Levers look good anyhow , you made um fit up like oem stuff !! 👍👍
Thanks bro, they do look and feel nice but we shouldn’t have to fix a new product
Awesome vid yet again!🤙🏻
thanks bro
What up Mark. Cool editing! Sweet shirt too 🤙🏼 🦊
What’s up Robert, thanks bud 🍻
Love the bike man. Getting my second bike in the next week can’t wait
Thanks man, bet your super excited for next week thanks cool
Thanks for sharing bro. I just got the TST levers going to install the soon. 😊
nice dude all of TST stuff is good man, glad you got a set! happy holidays
nice..love it...can't wait for more worthy options..
Thanks man, yea they are nice but we need more options preferably functional ones lol
My ASV levers just showed up for my 2023 Intensity white R7. I just watched this and am about to go out and install mine. Thanks for the video
Hell yea, let me know what you think of them
@@ScoutsOut I installed today, all went smooth after watching the video. I took it out for one ride so far and they feel great. Still wanna play with adjustments a little, but loving them. They look awesome too
Hell yea, good to hear man. Enjoy!
@@almony8 Hey which asv levers did you get? I was looking at some and it was saying there are fitment issues with the R7s brembo OEM master cylinder
@@sevin8829 I got the f3 series and they swapped right on in mins. The c5 also fit perfectly
They must have made adjustments....I bought these last year and they fit perfectly. Love 'em.
Yea I think they did to, your the second person that told me that. I honestly love them even though I had to modify mine, I'm still using them the look and feel great
Great video mate! Thanks for the guide. what grease are you using on all the lever bearings? TIA
Thanks bro, appreciate that. I used white lithium grease it should be linked in the description if your need more info
Surprised it was super easy. Definitely will try it.
Yea fore sure levers are an easy mod and really help with getting the feelbyou want
Loving the R7 videos man. You seem pretty knowledgeable with this stuff and I was wondering if you could make a video on lowering the bike. My R7 seems to be a little high for me and I wanted to know if I would be able to do it myself. Thanks!
Thanks man I appreciate that. I’m not a fan of lowering a motorcycle but if I come across the parts for cheap I’ll try and put something together
@@ScoutsOut
Totally understand on not wanting to lower yours. Just wondering how to. Thanks though!
Scoutss out. Thank you for these youtube videos. I just got my R7 and an still in break in period. Just ordered a set of these levers. Surprised at how far out the stock levers are. Looking forward to the install. Thinking about the quickshifter next. Wondering if it was fairly straight forward or if you ran into problems. I saw the video and it seemed easy enough. I've done ninja 300 shifter peg. recommendations? Haven't seen a video on suspension adjustments either. That would be nice. Keep up the great work, there's still not much info on how To:s for suspension specific to the R7. Keep up the great work. JM
thanks jerry I appreciate that and congrats on the new bike! the QS was really easy, I through on a set of Attack Performance rear sets and im liking them a lot but they don't have the rear brake light so you have to buy extra stuff if you want it but I personally don't care, I did a vid on it if you want to watch that. Suspension is still something I need to dig into one of these days.
very nice of you to give them to bomb, also great video
Thanks, yea he needs to get his bike back up and running
Do as I say not as I do, got it. 😁
Man, I truly enjoy your content, I think the only thing different I did on my bike is that I went with an M4 exhaust. as for everything else, I'm mirroring your bike.
Looking forward to the ECU tune content, I'm still deciding whether I need that done to my bike or not.
Haha yea I still wanted people to see those levers were not good as they are the only ones out there to buy, hopefully this keeps people from buying them lol
Yea I’m really curious to see if the tube is really going to make that noticeable of a difference, hopefully I can get the exhaust and tube done this month
Hey scouts whats up, i am changing my levers, but the bolt from the brake one kinda got screw. Do i need to Change the master cylinder or is the bolt enough?
Hey bro hit me up on IG and send a pic of what you mean so I can try and help
All u need is ASV levers they come with the replacement plunger for the brake
So true, the ASVs are awesome
What drill bit size did you use? I dropped my bike and my lever broke in half but i'm recieving the MG biketec levers in tomorrow. Gonna drill it because its much safer than what I have duct taped right now.
I used a round file and dermal bits
We’re you able to find any better levers more recently? I broke my brake lever a few days ago and can’t seem to find a direct answer as to they work or not
I'm still really enjoying the ones I have even though I had to manipulate them, I heard ASV has a set now. I would look into those
Hey, wondering why you opted to switch to those. Was it more for the aesthetic or was it more functional since you’re doing track days now
Hey Jon, I wanted the extra adjustment they offer and the looks too. The extra adjustment allows me to get the lever just slightly closer so I don’t have to reach as far with my finger
@@ScoutsOut ah ok makes sense
Hi brother , do you have some “ free space ( 5-10mm)“ on clutch after reinstall this lever?
Please answer 😊 thanks
I have about 3mm of movement before the cable starts getting pulled, hope this helps
@@ScoutsOut mmm ok , just I don’t know what to do ( same levers reinstalled and spec’s says 5-10mm free space) But maybe to much 5-10mm
Thanks for answer 🤙👍
Hi from Italy bro !!! When you post the video of the dna filter??? Thanks
Hi, I’m just finishing it up today. It will be posted Sunday morning, 🍻
LEVERS YES! They make the ride so much better. Am i right? I used a dremel and opened the ID of the hole little by little. As an ex machinist of 16 years i knew i could handle the .003 clearance issue. The amount of metal removed by hand has less force than a drill. a small dremel with a sanding wheel puts less stress on the lever. taken in small amounts of sanding time this is a paintless task IMO and well worth every penny as i own and have installed the exact levers on the same YZF-R7. IF you want NO labor involved do wait for the fully supported levers as Scout has mentioned as these are not instant drop in.
Haha yup, the stock levers are just a hair further out than I wanted and these are right where I wanted the levers to be now. I just can’t show people how to manipulate them to make them work but man I’m happy to have them
@@ScoutsOut i originally thought my hammer bloomed out the roll pin metal and then i used my calipers and measured the pin and ID of the holes and was like.....hmm they are two sizes. If they had machined the smaller hole big and the big hole small the roll pin would have been ok but it totally messes up the allen bolt going in from the top.
Oh dang, yea that’s what I was afraid of and stayed with the plastic mallet
Nice step by step video. The switch under the clutch lever is just a clutch-switch and has no relation with the quickshifter. I'm not a big fan of the shorty levers but I must admit that the black ones are better looking than the silver OEM ones.
Thanks man, much appreciated
What alpinestar jacket do you have? Gear video maybe 🤔
Alpibestars GP Plus R v2 is the main jacket I wear it’s getting pretty old though, a gear vid is a good idea I’ll try and get one out soon
Need your help. Installed the asv levers but now my integrated tail lights brake light is stuck...know what the reason could be?
That sucks, I’m outta town right now but when I get back I’ll look at mine and see if I can help you out.
@@ScoutsOut ok, thank you. The brake light is just stuck on. I know it's the new lever because I was messing around with it and pushed the lever forward and the light went off but then came back on...
@@yammyking22 I’m finally back home and was able to look at how mine works. There is a button that the lever pushes when it’s released. I would think you have the wrong lever if it isn’t working. I did have someone comment on a certain lever not working from ASV, they make a few different types. What model did you buy and if you want, hit me up on IG messenger we can share photos there to confirm if you would like
@@ScoutsOut ok I figured it out. When I took off the stock brake lever I must've somehow broke the tiny piece inside the switch that makes the clicking noise when the lever is compressed. I was able to get it to work now but that tiny piece is still broke so don't know how long til it messes up again. Thank you for getting back to me! Maybe others can know to be cautious when switching out there levers.
@@ScoutsOut sent you a pic on IG
any brands that manufacture brake levers for r7 that is fully compatible?
ASV has a set. And from what I have heard since I made this video, MG bike Tec has fixed them to fit so might be worth the gamble
@@ScoutsOut thank you
I bought the dna filter aswell but cant innstall it because of tuneing but i will for sure see how you do it im exsited!!
cool im excited about getting it in, hopefully ill have it down this weekend and get the vid out the weekend after.
@@ScoutsOut awesome, love the innstaling videoea for me that dosent know that much about bikes, really helps! Getting my r7 in 1 month now and your videos helps me alot with innstaling things i alrady have!!
Nice man glad to hear it, you must be super excited to get the new bike!!
Hey guys did the company come out with a new version?
they look like they have quite a few options now. they also did comment on my video saying they that a bench vise would work for install. I will say im still using mine and I do really like them.
Good video, sucks about the lever. I'm waiting on ASV.
You are gonna see this more, since the aftermarket can't keep up due to the current supply and shipping issues.
Off the wall companies have no problem realeasing products with no quality control and taking your money for inferior products.
thank you, yea other than having to manipulate them which isn't cool they are actually kinda nice. Im looking forward to the ASV's too or the adjustable brembo's
Hi ! i’m from France I’ve watched all your vidéo with your R7, in 1-2 weeks I got mine !!! but have you the reference or website for this levers ? thankssss
Exciting man hopefully you get is sooner than later, I didn’t link the site as the levers are not good and you shouldn’t buy them. I’ll keep looking for better levers that actually work and don’t need to be fixed
@@ScoutsOut Okay pretty good thanks you ! man i can watch and watch your vidéos from R7 Even if I don't always understand everything (subtitles even in English), and yes the French are not the best in the English language, I love what you do your plans are incredible and your advice is perfect. I have already ordered the yoshimura line and my thin mirrors! continue what you do!
@@emilienlorioz6766 thanks bro I really appreciate that
I like how i ordered the same exact one 2 days ago 😭
But they do look awesome
Dang it lol, they are nice and look good just annoying they didn’t make sure they worked before selling them to us
@@ScoutsOut just got mine and they were straight in plug in btw it was in a different package, they came together not separate like yours, i guess they fixed the problem
Ohh cool, good man that’s good news. The company just watched my vid and commented on how they were going to change a few things so that’s cool
Do as I say, not as I do... 😅
Haha right, it was a gamble to put out the vid but also good to know not to buy those lol
Nice but your Apple Watch must scratched against that brick!! 😮
haha yea its super scratched up, it even has welding spatter on it and still keeps telling me to stand up...breath and you have not met your goals today sir lol
installed a Gilles clutch lever. now it’s not returning 😭
Ohh no, did you get the clutch cable in correctly?
@@ScoutsOut I adjust the bolt and it’s good now. Cheers.
Ok coo, cheers
It's funny how you don't realize stock levers are 3 ft long 😂 it's like they want you to panic brake lock up 🤣 Besides the problem they seem pretty nice. How's the reach adjustment, I have big hands and like them far away from the bars? Maybe its just the R7 first run that got messed up. 🤙
haha right, for me the stock levers feel just a touch too far out and with these ive been able to adjust it just to the right spot, on the far end though they are further than the stock so id say the adjustment of them is good and you would get a further reach than the stock ones. thanks for watching bro
i hate when you pull in the clutch thats a mile long they make you feel obligated to 4 finger them. These are WAY better feel. My riding, braking, and shifts are so much better.
Yea the brake is adjustable but that clutch lever was just too far for me
Dang for that price, should've went with ASV
ASV levers would be great, but they still have yet to make a set, hopefully soon
@@ScoutsOut oh yeah, ordered mine about a week ago and still waiting. Got mine in gold.
Nice, good choice
Ooophhh no cheap o levers
Yea, totally sucked
