5 Things I Hate About Yamaha MT-07 

Riiight, that's what i'm looking at it for. lol

Master of Torque 07 kind of pushes the bike forward very hard when you twist the throttle, if they could fix this please

Actually he may just be talking about the slop in the throttle, I replaced my stock mt07 throttle tube with an r6 throttle tube and loooooved the difference but again like he said to each his own.

Very fair review, but not so honest a title, as he says at the end, "not things I really hate, but more like small gripes". Therefore he is LIAR LIAR PANTALOONS ABLAZE!

I don't think they're well built, overall.

@@loneventhorizon i actually think its the engine breaking, which can be sorted with an ecu map

@@R7LDN ^this

A larger cc bike will always use more fuel usually...

The 300 sips gas. Not uncommon to get 65+ mpg

@@UnseenSpirit no shit, that's how they work. lol

Yup that can be fixed with an ECU tune... time to save up :)

I agree completely!

nice bike I know I have a 2017 fz07 as well but I don't think ill buy another one like you I am thinking on getting a 2018 Ducati 797 or Ducati super sport s or a 2018 Suzuki gsxs1000 the naked one

@@tacticalshooter9209 Ducati - Aprilia - BMW - Triumph - Harley - Indian - these brands are for people who like to repair their bike, rather than ride it.

Not sure but did you ever ride a MT Model? I know how to engine break but that's not it. When ever you get of the gas and don't shift up and then get on the throttle hard again it's very unsmooth, "jerking" forwards.... It's in my opinion like that on all MT Models

@@johannvaske7527 So at high rpms, quickly release the throttle then suddenly get back on the throttle? Yeah that should be smooth as butter, no idea why it would be "jerky"

The MT range is pretty infamous for having a twitchy throttle, they only started to improve that recently. It’s always been controllable, but pretty snatchy.

on FZ-07, that twitchy throttle response is caused by high torque output, especially in lower gear, but it can be eliminated by finely tuned ECU from the factory , for example, SV650 has similar torque output but on/off throttle is still smooth, in my opinion, FZ07 is great but it doesn't achieve the gold standard in the industry.

it's stupid fueling that's what it is. Same for the FZ06, Suzuki GSR and a lot of fuel injected bikes. You slowly get off the throttle and at it goes like this(engine brake) 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 100. Then you slowly try to get on the throttle and it goes like 0-30% instantly. You can get used to it, or get a tune.

I use the hero 4 because I heard a lot of people are having issues with hero 5. I had the similar issue ones where the audio would cut out from time to time. The issue was the faulty audio cable where it would loose connection sometimes, ever since I replaced it there was no issues whatsoever. Hope you figure out the problem, Ill make sure to check out your channel, thanks for watching :)

hups, have been thinking also to go back to hero4. The audio problem doesn't occure very often but it sucks when it does ;-) Thanks for checking out the channel, guessing you don't speak Dutch ':-)

saved my brakes so.

ChaohsiangChen as a fz-07 owner I have do disagree I believe what he's feeling is Yamaha skimping and not having a slipper clutch. First gear isn't jerky with a proper friction zone in on the clutch. After I had the power commander , full exausht , DNA air filter and tube........ that's a different story 😂

@@peter05767 do know what a slipper clutch is because it has nothing to do with a jerky throttle

@@peter05767 u clearly don't know what a slipper cluch is because it makes no difference for starting it only stops the rear wheel from looking up under really rough downshifting that's why not all bikes have it it's not necessary on the road where you don't need to slam downshifts

@@peter05767 a slipper clutch and a non slipper cluch will feel the same if you drop it from a start

Alpha Ny XD SO TRUE

Also when he IS fine ;)

this is a video about what he PERSONALLY hates about his bike (his opinion) 0:16 if you don't like it just close the video

No way, really??? (Sarcasm) This channel is public and comments AREN'T disabled. If he doesn't like comments, where a little bit of irony is being pointed out, he could NOT put them on a public channel.

having opinions and hating is 2 different things, he just points out flaws (his opinion) that he doesnt like, if people disagree that's fine it's not hate to disagree, but to tell him how wrong he is and how he shouldnt have bought this bike and fix the flaws or he shouldnt have made this video etc. is hating. btw why the fuck would he put stuff on a "private" channel? what's the point of doing that when he clearly meant this to a bigger audience

Robin Ehrnsten Dude are you his publicist? Brother? Sister? BF/GF?? Why do YOU care what kind of comments this guy gets? Do you do this on EVERY you watch? Obviously he doesn't mind since he isn't telling everyone to go f**k themselves. Lastly. . .if you're gonna be grammar Nazi and talk shit to people from other countries and scold them about Google Translate, you may wanna turn on spell check. That way you can start your sentences with capital letters.

@@artrendon6101 woah bro, no need to be such a douche. I'm sure that he puts a ton of time into his vids and hates getting people like you in the comments.

oh well.. :(

upgrade them to aero kit (steel lines) and harder brake pads, maybe it should help. too bad Yamaha never get the brakes right in any bike, its been always a problem on Yamahas

Adding braided brake lines to mine has helped heaps

Sarah Boyd rear brake is useless on most bikes to be honest. I have sportsbikes and the MT07 and trust me all are shit

Adnan 29plus5 rear brake it's only to fix the angle of leaning, being so "smashing potato" makes it really progressive and not istant like you press the brake and you instantly feel the stop. Doing so, you can have a progressive feedback during the lean

YummisakiiRides I totally agree with you. You find yourself just using hand-signals more time than not just because you don't wanna bother with the turn signal switch.

LS3 Media mostly forgot to turn it off when I started riding it haha. It's just so uncomfortable.

Meoff Jack a tracer version? This is the first time I hear about this. Could you please say more?

Google for Yamaha Tracer 700 or Tracer 900. The Tracer 700 has the MT07 engine and the 900 the MT09 engine. The tracer is a sport touring version of the MT07 and MT09.

Meoff Jack A weaker version of the mt07 engine.

Same engines but the Tracer is heavier.

If you don't mind not having a transmission, and awesome sounding exhaust the zero could be really good. Also, consider the range on those. If you don't go on long trips and ride in the city, go for the zero :)

@@TURBOTWINKIE I don't go on long trips so I went with his dad. He is enthusiastic and pushes back hard.

thanks, looks like a Camaro not sure which spec :)

it could be 2014-2018 camaro

Yup.. mt-09, Z900 are great bikes if insurance is low enough :)

TJ Roelsma that's true, but I personally believe you should ride the bike before the tune. However I forgot to mention this as a second solution. Thanks for clearing that out

I get about 130 miles on my MT09, that's actually annoying

Some are too big, others too small maybe one day they will get it right :)

That's what she said.

Many also complain about the positioning of the indicator button and horn from Honda, personally i never found them awkward, the horn button is also super easy to find and the button itself , ergonomically its well designed for the thumb.

I flashed the ecu, and disabled most of the engine braking. It helped quite a bit with the initial jerk, but it is still present, especially in first gear. I don't think you will be able to make it 100% smooth. If thats something that really bothers you, go for a triumph street triple, way more expensive though :/

@@TURBOTWINKIE Thanks for your answer, but sad to hear this mod doesn't solve the problem very well :( Probably I will change my bike soon, I'm thinking of this Triumph you recommended or something with 4 cylinders (Suzuki GSX-S750 or Honda CB650R), but for me it's quite a hard decision because I don't need so much power so it's hard to justify buying much more expensive bike :/ I also think about Suzuki SV650 - in your review you sad it's smoother than MT-07, but is it big difference? Does low rpm assist changes something when you filter in very narrow traffic? Unfortunately, it's hard to test this bike in Poland because local dealers don't sell SV650 too much so they don't have a test bike :/

The windscreen is more for looks, protects my phone from wind and bugs instead of me. If I put my head on the tank then I can hide from the wind. It's an Ermax Sport Nose Screen :)

Go on the Ermax site and search for fz 07

TURBO TWINKIE I have the MT07 and your comment about the throttle being too violent at low speed can easily be fixed by pulling in the clutch lever a little for a smoother pull off on the throttle

Hi.Thank you for the nice observations and the video. Do you speak russian by the case? Thank you

Maybe :)

Turbo Twinkie!! We're neighbors!! I recognized the roads.... I live at Bathurst and Mulock.... Used to live at Queensville Sideroad and Yonge... When I get another bike we should do some riding. I'm really set on the MT 07 but only thing I didn't like was the gas tank size... Seems irritating.

Haha I always ride around Newmarket and Queensville area all the time (actually used to live on Bathurst and Mulock for some time too). When you get your bike DM on me on Instagram most likely we can get some people together for a group ride :)

www.ermax.com you would have to find a dealer who works with them

Thank you!! I really appreciate it :)

Try an ECU tune to really change the character of the bike too ..... best money I've ever spent on a bike was on my MTs ECU tune. It's stronger, faster, easier to ride, smoother and the throttle response is perfection. But yeah the stock tires are pretty solid and dont give much feedback and the suspension is acceptable at best (on the 2018 model) ... next on my shopping list are Ohlins fork kit, Nitron R1 shock and a set of sticky Pirelli rubber ;)

@@MotoGoato Are you going to get full front cartridges like Ohlins NIX 22's or just some springs? I've been wanting to do a full suspension upgrade but man, with a good rear shock and front fork cartridges alone it's a solid 1500+ bucks. Add tires and a tune and it's more than 1/3 of the bike's value... I've already got 2 grand in cosmetic upgrades so if I add all of it up it would have cost more than a new R6 haha.

@@fknidiotutube Nah I rekon a cartridge kit is overkill unless you're track riding a lot (which I don't) .. I'll be going for Ohlins springs and pre-load caps, they will be enough of an improvement for me. Yeah I hear on ya on costs of modding ... but if you went out and bought a brand new R6 you'd still be spending on modding that too, it's a bloody curse mate, lol. I did exhaust, ecu tune and stage 2 DNA intake all for £750 and have spent about £500ish on crash protection, accessories and cosmetics and then the suspension upgrades will be about £750ish .. so will have spent about £2K in total on modding. Sure I could have bought a brand new stock KTM790 for the same money I will have spent on the MT in total .... but then I'd only start spending a couple of grand on the KTM getting it personalised, tuned and modded. It never ends buddy :) :)

Why? just for looks?

@@epiphonesg007 the function, and looks too

What function? Upside down forks are only very marginally better, you'd have to be a superbike rider to feel a difference. The internals usually are way more important.

@@epiphonesg007 USD fork is way more better than conventional Fork.You'll also see USD forks on upscale adventure tourers. In offroad riding, those USD forks deal with big hits better, so if you're Lemmy-sized, or you're riding a Lemmy-sized adventure bike, or you just love the big, high jumps, they should offer you some rigidity that a standard setup cannot. The drawback (other than paying for technology you might not use) is that the flipped nature of things makes service a bit trickier. For starters, most USD forks do not have drains in them. (Some conventional ones don’t, either, but that's an issue of the manufacturer not making things easy on the end user.) For those of you who change fluid often, you know how much easier those drain screws make that job! Thus, to change out fluid is a considerably more laborious task on a USD fork. Another issue comes up when or if your fork seal goes kerflooey. On a regular fork, it’s going to leak a little, but it’s not really an immediate danger. On a USD fork, however, the seal sits over the brakes, and the oil is above the seal, so gravity and suspension pumping are both working to push fluid out. Once it gets out, it is perilously close to brake pads and your front tire, so a busted fork seal is a bit more serious on bikes with inverted forks.

@@J_CART3R Lemmy doesnt know what he is talking about. Mt09 has upside down forks but a older sportsbike with regular forks has better suspension.

they jerk when you slowly get off the throttle also.....

The worst of those issues to me is the fuelling. I strongly dislike a lack of smoothness in relation to throttle movements. I appreciate there are certain modifications available, such as different throttle tube fitments etc. - but I believe quite strongly that this should be right from the factory and not something an owner needs to address.
