I would replace the gaskets too. A lot of guys do not and have no problems but I figure why not do it right and not have the slim possibility of a leak. Is $309 for a power commander a good price?

BruceWayne911 Posted June 12, 2021 Author Share Posted June 12, 2021 I'm also looking for exhaust gaskets but I didn't see any on Revzilla, are there any other places to buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilman Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I have two sets of gaskets at home. If you live in the US I could send you a set since I'm not using them. Just let me know. No charge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revzilla has them but it will not let me post a link. They are part #5 in the exhaust parts diagram. Devilman has a better deal though so I would send him a pm. I do not know what a good price for a Power Commander is, I had me ECU flashed by @2wheeldynoworks and am very happy with the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash tuning and piggy backs both have their pros and cons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash tuning and piggy backs both have their pros and cons. No, there's no "pro" to a piggyback fuel controller on these bikes. They're high failure rate, the QS is massively more reliable when used directly through the stock ECU pinout, and the wideband systems are a complete joke. The FTECU Active Tune is by FAR the most advanced thing on the market for full closed loop control, and it adjusts IAP v RPM and TPS v RPM maps independently of each other. You'll never have as good of an end result with a single TPS v RPM overlay using a piggyback. If you need to switch between fuel maps, you simply quick-write the ECU with an on-bike harness and in about 90 seconds you're good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emtee07 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) Handlebar. I found the bars far too narrow on the 07. Swap them out for something like the Protaper Henry Reeds or Carmichaels. There also different options from Renthal too. You may have to look for reviews or try and demo different bars on the bike to see which ones work for you. It is a very popular mod for the 07. Interestingly, Yam changed the bars on the 2021 model for a wider bar so it’s definitely an owner feedback. I found a wider, lower, straighter bar gave much better control and you lean forward more putting more weight over the front wheel. It changes your ride position from very upright to a little more aggressive/sporty. It is a medium level mod if done properly to reinstall all the controls and drill 2 small holes to lock the controls in place like the stock bar. Take your time and it is a worthwhile mod that has an instant change in ride quality. Edited June 29, 2021 by emtee07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no experience with those particular mirrors. But from experience, I know that you get what you pay for with mirrors. cheap mirrors I've used in the past vibrated badly, rusted quickly, and the mirrors them selves would quickly get damage of the reflective coating on the backside of the glass/plastic. CRG mirrors are highly regarded here. There are any number of threads on them. DewMan Just shut up and ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am feeling like I have chicken wings all tucked in with the narrow bars looking for slightly wider slightly straighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceWayne911 Posted July 25, 2021 Author Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) Can anyone recommend a phone mount set-up for the MT-07? I've bought numerous parts but nothing is compatible or the right size. Edited July 25, 2021 by BruceWayne911 Wrong info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealsmo Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I'm very happy with my Quadlock. Have them mounted on both of my bikes. Definitely recommend getting the vibration damper too. I've killed two cameras on my iPhone XR. Most likely while mounted to my 400cc Thumper, but still worth the extra insurance on any bike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you need all the pieces? Here's a video of a guy installing the CRG mirrors. I'm not sure I'd be happy getting rid of the stock heavy steel weights/sliders. After researching it for a while, I went with the solid stainless Rhino Moto adapter that has the 7/8" diameter section and allows you to use any bar-end mirror made for that diameter, even if the mirror has a clamp that doesn't come apart and wont go over the flange if there is one. The Rhino adapter is just a threaded plug that replaces the stock bar-end slider/weight. Edited July 29, 2021 by Triple Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t this make it require a tune as well? Or doesn’t it hurt performance with the back pressure change? I’m completely new to this so genuinely asking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple Jim Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 It's interesting that since I've put a couple thousand miles on my stock MT-07 I've had several people I don't know approach me to tell me how they liked the fact that it's very quiet. Don't get the idea that everyone who hears your louder-than-stock exhaust system is in awe of the powerful sound. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience, drilling holes in a muffler doesn’t cause any noticeable difference in performance. But then again, I’ve never run a bike on a dyno, drilled the holes, then gotten back on the dyno to verify the results. Also, I never tried it with my FZ since I was happy with its sound from the get-go. Edited July 30, 2021 by D.A. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceWayne911 Posted August 25, 2021 Author Share Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) I finally finished all my mods except for the suspension. I was initially disappointed with the Akra titanium/carbon exhaust with the baffle in. It sounded like the stock exhaust. After removing the db killer and getting a retune the sound is glorious. Next year when it starts to warm up I plan on upgrading the front forks and rear shock. I notice heavy front dive when I have to apply heavy brakes.

nozeitgeist1800 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) dope setup so far, good choice on the crg mirrors. theyre too expensive, but you get so much more view of whats behind you, plus they look soooooo much better than stock bunny ears. how comfortable have you found the stock seat? i apologize for weird question, but you mentioned that you were around 300 lbs, so im curious if youve had any issues with it? i dont know a good way to ask that, im sorry, definitely dont mean to come off as an ass, im just genuinely curious. im around 200 and it only took me a couple hundred miles of riding to decide that it needed to go, immediately. also, the r6 throttle tube mod is too good. i originally didnt like the throttle, actually bought a throttle tamer to ease it up a bit, but ended up leaning into it after a while and swapping to the r6, threw the throttle tamer in a box somewhere i think. led headlight bulb / running light bulbs are also a really nice upgrade and really easy to do Edited August 26, 2021 by nozeitgeist1800 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually ride once a week averaging about 90 miles. Coming up on my 1,000 miles mark soon. Next year I'm planning on buying the Corbin seat.

nozeitgeist1800 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 The seat, the exhaust, and the map from 2wdw completely changed the feel of the bike for me. It's so much more fun than it already was, I almost can't be trusted on it anymore. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
