I'm on the verge of buying an mt07 and you just said exactly what I was hoping to hear. I'm a little older. Coming from a zx6r, I just want something comfortable and spirited.
Front end cheap fix to get a little more planted feel…… Dave Moss mod! I cut 10mm off the spacer and put 403mL of 20w fork oil. Dropped the front end with 8mm of the fork tubes sticking out of the triple clamps. 190lbs with gear! Are there better fixes? Yes of course! Was it worth the $40 and hour and a half time because I’m no mechanic? Absolutely! Got to know my bike and felt accomplished because it significantly improved the feel and handling!
I've been without a bike for a few years and have been considering an MT07 to get back into the swing of things since I quite enjoy upright nakes that sound good. I do wish it had the adjustable fork suspension that the bigger brother has though haha. Great video.
Hey Paramoto! I noticed the same thing with my 23 MT07 in regards to scratches. I don't really have scratches but I noticed that if I even run a dry finger across the tank plastics it will leave a weird mark behind that I can buff out with a microfiber cloth. Maybe I'm just scuffin' up the 45693 layers of bike polish I put on it out of boredom over the winter. Great video bro, thanks!
Thanks! I’ve noticed that most of them come out too? It’s weird for sure, if it ever gets bad I’ll probably just wrap it some wild color for the views lol 🤣
I have to laugh hard at how many times you sprayed in the air instead of on the bike. In Germany, every second counts with the washing jet because it is relatively expensive per second. But a very cool video, keep it up! Greetings :)
@@Paramoto959 a dollar a minute is cheap ahah. In Portugal it's 2€ per minute, which is like 3 dollars per minute. And our minimum wage is 600€ per month after tax, so go figure. When washing my car I am faster than Sonic and usually have someone else stand close to the machine to quickly switch it from soap to water without me stopping. And I jump sections, like going straight to water and soap (skip the first water only part) and I literally rinse the soap with the "water and wax" part. 1 minute and my car is (very badly) washed, and its fine for a quick wash. I do real washes at home tho, once a month or so
@@timsgta their school system kinda blew my mind when I first heard about it. Where they start steering towards technical schools or university. Mainly because I didn’t like school at all so I didn’t do well. Skipping and not doing really any school work for a long time.
Cheap Amazon mirrors lol I was gonna spend on them until I heard someone say there the first thing to get banged off of stuff so the first time you hit them you’ll be glad you went cheap. So that’s what I did 😎
Absolutely Epic bud. I'm looking at getting an MT-07 for my next bike just for commuting. how does she handle the rain? Also, you appear live like an hour from me if you ever want to go for a cruise. been trying to find people to ride with because my dad is very slow, so I usually ride by myself unless he really wants to ride. (that offer is open to others who enjoy a good cruise in the area as well)
Random question I have a bike for around 2 years but I always cleaned it with a cloth a not much else. I never ride in the rain so it never got that dirty but... is it ok to blast water like that to the extremely hot engine and exhaust right after you rode it? Because yea you need to ride to the wash station to wash it... the idea of cold water into extremely hot metal scares me
I agree it’s not ideal, however I ride in the rain all the time and I don’t see much of a difference between it getting wet from a wash or from rain. 😎
@@Paramoto959 rain is not a huge quantity of cold water at once. Rain is just "small splashes" that won't affect the metal block at all. However washing it is a huge quantity of cold water that can in fact create micro fissures and micro cracks on the metal (be it the engine or any other hot metal component) because it forces the metal to cool down too fast. This is true for any other metal and also applies to the brake disks. And knowing this, it scares me to just throw water into a hot engine and wash my bike that way. Even if its hot water (hot water will still be ultra cold compared to the engine temperature, but it will still be much better than cold water). I guess I better play it safe and just wash it when the engine is cold (or at least not right away after riding it) or find a washing station with hot water (rare and more expensive). But I have never seen any motorcycle youtuber talk about this subject, so people either don't keep bikes long enough to have problems with this, or the problem is so negligible that I might not need to worry about it... and that's why I was asking for ppinions
Wenn washing the bike and you pull the hose across the tank of the bike, that has been down on the ground, you have to expect scratches.. wenn I saw, I was like “wtf is he doing!”
Lol yes that was painful to watch. I stopped using pressure washers on my bikes a few years ago when one of my speedos got chipped from it, and body panels were getting scratched.
Buy yourself a cutting compound. Will take all but the deepest scratches straight out.Then put a decent wax on it and you are semi protected for 3 months. It sounds fantastic.
I got a 23 CFMOTO CLX 700 sport. I love that bike only 2 things get on my nerves. 1 no under seat space, 2. Cruise control runs on a glitchy gear indicator. But it's getting fixed under warranty. $9300 out the door.
Love the bike and exhaust. I got the 24 mt07 today. Do you have do to anything after installing the exhaust? I've heard people say you have to do a tune or power commander but I'm new to this bike and wanted to ask lol thank you @@Paramoto959

Here’s the problem with the fz07 , & no I’m not a rider. It’s a reliable and very fun bike , according to all the reviews I’ve seen over the years. And it damn sounds great. The problem is that it’s HARD to find fz07 owners within usa terms of vloggers. & once you DO, TH-cam for some reason keeps fz07 content out of the algorithm. Whether it’s for videos you’ve watched or based on what you’ve searched. It’s difficult to find fz07 owners these days, but I believe the bike is regaining a large fan base
@@Paramoto959iiiii am not sure. Funny bc, when I typed in mt instead of FZ, the search results were a bit better. But I think TH-cam just doesn’t like to recycle fz content. Easy to find s1k, r6, gsxr zxr etc content, but fz content? It’s like once you stop watching or the creator doesn’t upload as much, TH-cam kicks it out the recommended or watch again section. And I just started finding motovloggers based in GA, been trying to support more in state content, and already I can’t seem to find them or at least it’s harder. I almost couldn’t find you. So idk, I hope this bike gains major traction
The algorithms on TH-cam are very cut throat that’s for sure. There’s a big vlogger on here that has an FZ, but he calls it an MT literally for these reasons 😎
My dealership installed this exhaust with 0 miles on the ODO so I’d safely say yes lol also this exhaust is specifically made for this bike so it should be more then safe.
@@Paramoto959 Cool cool! I might pick one up to be honest, I tried one out at a dealer and I’m fine. Didn’t test ride it though, they don’t do them. Only thing is my knees are at a sharp angle when it comes to the shifter, but that’s fine haha. I think most naked bikes are like that, I’m coming from an adventure bike. Granted, the MT-09 is probably a little more upright.
@@Paramoto959 Yeah I didn’t know that haha, kinda odd I guess. To be fair, my local dealers do demo rides each year usually with the yammies. Also, just got my MT-07 home today. Had it strapped to a hitch mount, drove for 3 hours! It sounds so good, can’t wait to register it and ride!

For a first time buyer do you recommend a bike with a window shield or does it not make a big difference?
