Best products from r/FZ07

The buzzing on the handlebars landed me comfortably in carpal tunnel territory off the batt, with most of my right hand going numb. Yay for the 2018's hard mounted handle bars! My buddies already had these so I stopped at a random bike shop and grabbed one (was $24.95usd) and it was the best thing ever. Unlike those "cramp busters" that let you release your grip because a flap rests against your palm, these allow you to take your hand completely off the bars while the throttle stays where you set it. I find them at every random bike and atv accessories store. Made all the difference, didn't get in my way at all during twisties, was easy to effortlessly set/release without effort while riding.

I just ran premium, as that's what the manual asks for. US gas is stupidly cheap to start with, so it was substantially cheaper than regular fuel back home, and the MT07's so good on gas anyways. Cost me on average around $7usd/250km, but that was mostly in twistier roads at a good clip; if we did the speed limit I could have extended that range considerably. For how I ride it turned out 250km range worked very well as a guideline.

My shoulders where fine, as you can sit right upright on the MT07 if you wish so there's no strain on them at all.

My ass, on the other hand, was in screaming pain. The seat was simply inadequate for that kind of ride. I find it's good for up to 2 hours at a time. I'd do another ride with this seat if I had to, but I'm hoping to grab... Something, I dunno what yet, to make it better. A seat cover or something.

I brought a toolkit consisting of a Leatherman, a couple crescent wrenches, a set of Allen Keys, a multimeter, some zip ties and some metal wire, a tire pressure gauge with a length of duct tape wrapped around it, and spare universal control cables. I'd say for most people a multimeter is less important, but mine came in handy diagnosing and fixing (bypassing, rather) a friend's gimpy clutch/neutral switch.

Also packed: socks and underwear per day, a pair of spare t-shirts and a pair of pants packed into ziplock freezer bags with the air squeezed out (way more compact than just rolling clothes, AND guaranteed to stay dry), a sweater and an undershirt (layering yo! Adjust to the temperatures), a couple microfiber rags and lens cleaner for my face shield, some Tylenol, a small first aid kit (thankfully unneeded), toothpaste/toothbrush/floss/antiperspirant.

The tail bag is a Nelson Rigg CL 1060S which was phenomenal and looked really nice on the bike, and a cheap cargo net strapped over top for carrying loose stuff (removed layers of clothes, bottles of water, bag of Cheetos, etc) that I wanted fast access to.

Also had a RAM mount off the left mirror stem with a wired in charger so my phone stayed at 100% while rocking Google Maps (downloaded maps, so worked offline) and music to my Sena headset. That charger would fast-charge my phone if the bike was running, or just slow charge otherwise. Having GPS going all the time really relieved some anxiety as I could stop and take photos without worrying about losing the group. Location sharing is super helpful too once your in town; can split up and find each other again effortlessly.

God I hope this formats correctly - I am a neophyte.

Exhaust - http://www.ixilusa.com/ixil-l3xb-black-hyperlow-xl-full-exhaust-yamaha-mt-07-2014-2015/

Super deep and loud sound - videos online don't do it justice, its unbelievably loud when the baffles are out. Had to have the cat cut out of it. Be aware they have a cat in the V section before the end of the pipe.

Removed the snorkel covering the airbox - I was told its basically blocks airflow.

Havent done the brakes yet - going to replace the lines etc with steel braid.

Also want to do a sprocket / chain swap for acceleration

I used a quadlock phone mount for a little bit - but took it off because I was playing with my phone too much.

Hey y'all! Some of you asked about mods so here is a full list of what I have done so far with links.

Bar end mirrors - You can find these for less but I chose these because the reviews indicated that they might be better quality than others.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Q3UL6S6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yoshimura fender eliminator - Kinda pricey for what it is but it looks really nice.

Got the headlight H4 LED from Cyclops. Looks like they're out of stock right now: https://www.cyclopsadventuresports.com/Cyclops-100-H4-LED-headlight-bulb_p_192.html

It was super easy to install and fit very well.

For the parking lights I got these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071LHP5WP/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It’s not hard, just take your time with it and make it looks pretty. I used 1” wrap, I like the look of a tighter wrap though. And it claims to “increase performance” because your keeping more heat away from the engine, not sure if I buy that or not, I did it for cosmetic purposes tbh lol. I think it looks awesome, here’s a link for the stuff I used :)

Mine arrives tomorrow, buddy of mine got one for his MT09 and sounds AMAZING, for the price it has amazing reviews.. I was going for akra also but I had to go with this one for the fact its literally only $260 and i've heard it in person... the only thing is it doesn't come with instructions but there are youtube videos (US AMAZON shows like +30 4 and 5 star reviews, nothing less)

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000WJ7OIA?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title

That’s what I used according to my amazon purchase history. I swapped mine when I installed oxford heated grips nearly a year ago and honestly, I usually don’t even remember I swapped it lol. But you will notice right away at first.

If you are careful you can save the stock grip using compressed air and lightly prying under it with a flathead screw driver or something similar.

Went with the simple TST industries, not to sure if i'll like the only top bolt mounts but we will see.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DAMH7ZA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Also did the MD integrated tail light and i love that.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015NN3YUG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's this one from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00NS1IA78/ref=pd_aw_vtph_0_bs_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=HT7YKM3C1CAVVN5E7RJ7

It works well but the one they sent me, the two base plate screws didn't line up, so I was only able to screw it in with two of the four screws. So far it's holding great though!

Also, make sure you keep your left and right signals separate if you use the stock signals, otherwise you will end up putting them on the opposite side like me.

I have the similar mirrors in the link you provided. I bought these. They will fit the same way as the video above with stock bar ends and some modification or with the mount they provide with stock bars (some modification maybe).


The way they fit is how all the bar end mounts work and that is the rubber piece needs the be tighten before inserting it into the bar. Once its snug you can tighten further for a better fit. I ended up getting Woodcraft clip ons and bought the bar ends with guard mounts to mount my mirrors.

I can't recommend the R6 throttle tube mod enough. I did the mod last weekend and have been riding for a few days with it in place and it is glorious. The best $9 I've ever spent.

I installed an LED headlight. It added a lot more visibility at night. Took 10 minutes or less to do.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KFBPBC0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Also added white LED run lights so the entire front is bright white

I watched these two videos for any help.

Unless your commutes consist of you pinning the throttle and soaring through neighborhoods / highways at speeds of 100MPH, I'm sure you'll find yourself enjoying the FZ07.

If your commutes do consist of that kind of riding, I would recommend getting a wind screen and replacing the throttle tube with this. That way your arm isn't underneath the fucking bar when wide open.

Edit: note: the tube on Amazon will say it is incompatible with the FZ07, ignore that.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079KBDC9Q?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share heres the link. I have them as well. Not sure if I'd recommend though unless you get other adaptors. They look nice though.

I bought some LED lights from amazon that are really bright. Here is a link to what I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RYPNW4G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071LHP5WP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have a 2016 and when I first got it home I had a real issue with lurching and choppy throttle response. I did a little reading and found out it was pretty common and that most people fixed it by changing the throttle tube.
Amazon says I bought this, although the description and price are a little different now than when I bought it.

Swapping the throttle tube was night and day. The bike responds like it should when you twist the throttle and there is no longer a choppy feeling when I shift.

I have the Night Fluo and I love the look of it. Honestly regarding the wheels, they aren't as big as a problem as people make them out to be. I clean them maybe once a week and they always look relatively clean regardless. Especially the front wheel. The chain is what makes the rear get dirty much faster than the front. I use this spray to clean them https://www.amazon.com/Best-Wheel-Tire-Cleaner-Amazon/dp/B014V9GFJU . It may be the reason mine don't get as dirty as everyone claims they do, but it's a non-issue in my opinion.

Arrows are a waste of money honestly. Imitation ones from Amazon work well and fit. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B079KBDC9Q?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_pd_title

Was able to use even with bar end slider because they give a long bolts I just had to trim.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FCCJR87/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I got these and assembly is super strong, it's not moving anywhere. and it's only 16$

I had to replace CRG ARROW because my idiot boss broke them on purpose. Ripped it off with his hand.

$72 each? I'd try my luck with these $16/pair first:

https://www.amazon.com/MICTUNING-Universal-Motorcycle-Mirrors-Kawasaki/dp/B07FCCJR87/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1537141564&sr=8-4

I bought it off amazon. But you can get just the tube as well. Or the motion pro for a slightly less aggressive effect. https://www.amazon.com/YAMAHA-2C0262400000-Yamaha-Grip-Assembly/dp/B005C59NO2/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=Yamaha+2C0262400000+Grip+Assembly&qid=1565977871&s=gateway&sr=8-3

Sounds like you may not have gotten the LED compatible relay. It's like $8, I'll grab a link

Edit: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RM26LXO/ - $8.99 shipped with Prime. You have to go under your front "tank" fairing on the left to replace the OEM, but it's just a matter of undoing a bunch of small fairing bolts and a couple plastic panel poppers.

I’ve got the vagabond tail tidy and I like it. I reused the factory turn signals and it was a simple install
