first oil change and Mod

changed my oil today,  wow was that easy, besides my oil drain plug put on by someone named Magilla Gorilla easies oil change ever!

 

I changed the oil after 23 miles, I believe the most oil and metal contamination is going to happen in the first couple miles so I like to get it out of there

I had my shorai battery from my fz09 and happily it fit the 7.  Over a 4 lb savings compared to the stock battery,  pretty crazy

have some more parts coming :)

Nice. Suggest getting a magnetic drain plug next oil change.

Battery was one of the first mods I did too. 24 oz 8 cell Antigravity battery. 

What other mods are coming?

next are rear sets

I love this...

"Just an easy oil change and a battery swap for some "crazy" weight savings." 

"Oh nice, What's next?"

"Rearsets and full tinker mode on the intake!" 

"Uhh... Ok, was thinking you might say like a fender delete or something, but that's super neato as well."

 

@vcyclenut Just a great  twist to the typical mod responses.  Gave me a smile this morning!  As always posting your discoveries is encouraged. 👍

Nice. 

I can recommend the horde intake + tune.  Noticeable power increase, the front end definitely stays in the air longer thru the first 3 gears.

Depending on your weight and riding level, I also suggest looking into suspension upgrades. Yamaha really skimped on this suspension to get the price down. A properly tuned suspension, with proper sag set, will make you faster and more confidant than any other upgrade. Unless you live in Florida and only ride on straight roads.

Hey, I live in Florida and we do have curved roads there are at least 3 that I know of. As well as numerous circular driveways and Cul de sacs :)
