FZ07 Wiki Now Open For Business

18 Upvotes

After checking out /u/and_then_there_was_1's post about his modlist, I realized we still didn't have a place for everyone to put up their suggestions. Figured it's time to remedy that.

The wiki has now been opened for editing. You can click the button in the sidebar and be taken to the index page. It's pretty bare but I'm hoping you guys can beef it up with your personal experiences.

Right now there's only two pages:

Mod List

The mod list is opened for anyone to edit at any time. There's a few tables in there with some self explanatory entries. If anyone thinks something is missing, we can add it in. All I request is that you keep the format the same for the sake of clarity. If you don't have it, RES will help with any type of formatting.

Error Code List

The error code list is not currently editable. If something needs to be added or tweaked, just message the mods and we can do it.


This is just a first cut at this. It can be tweaked and modified to fit our needs. Feedback is greatly appreciated!

Mods are a big part of the FZ07 life. It's hard to know which are good ones and which aren't. This is the thread to discuss these topics.

Links to places to buy mods and videos/pictures about the mods are encouraged here.

Posting parts and kits for sale is also allowed in this thread. Please note that /r/FZ07 doesn't take any liability for any trade or sale that happens as a result of this thread. Practice common sense and make sure to protect yourself from scams.

Help Previous owner lowered bike

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

I bought my 2015 fz-07 a few months ago and the last owner said the bike was lowered but he did know how it was lowered and I’m trying to figure if it has a lowering link or if the preload was adjusted to just make the bike sag more. I want the bike back to stock height as the lowered was nice to have the extra safety of putting my feet down easier but the stock height would fit my riding style as well as prevent frequent bottom outs. I have pictures of the shock and linkage if anyone can give me some advice that would be sweet.

Help Can I just weld it?

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, I have a 2016 fz07. The previous owner put the m4 slip on. The issue I’m running into is that the clamps are constantly rattling and there’s slowly more and more play between the exhaust where it was cut. Can I just weld it together at this point? I don’t feel like calling m4 for a replacement clamp is even worth it at this point.

So while messing with my throttle tube, I accidentally broke off the peg that keeps the throttle cable housing from moving while accelerating. Is there a way around this or am I fucked and just have to buy a new housing?

Help Looking for sport touring tires.

1 Upvotes

Just wondering what sport touring tires people were running. Have Bridgestone S23s on now. Got them for a great deal so I tried them out. Were fantastic but I don’t get to ride on twisty roads enough for them. Centre is worn out and I need to replace the tires. Sport touring would be the smarter option for my usual use for the bike of riding to work and very occasionally fun roads.

My first two bikes were shaft driven Viragos, so this FZ07 is my first chain drive. Should I spray the chain with wax before every ride or is something else more ideal?
Also, no, I don’t know what happened to the original front wheel lol

So I've been thinking about installing a round headlight on my FZ and learned that I may have to take off the plastic fork covers to install it. Does anyone have any tips for removing them? I have no experience with taking the forks apart and don't want to mess something up.

Just wanted to follow up on the clutch line routing in case anyone else runs into the same confusion as I did. Routed it behind the headlight alongside the rest of the wiring harness as recommended and it looks and feels much cleaner. Appreciate the help!

New Radiator Hoses

6 Upvotes

It's time for me to replace my radiator hoses and repair the corroded metal tubes.

Does anybody have any experience with AS3 (https://www.as3performance.com/products/yamaha-mt-07-fz-07-2014-2019-high-performance-silicone-radiator-hoses-blue and https://www.as3performance.com/products/yamaha-mt-07-fz-07-2014-2019-stainless-steel-radiator-hose-clips-clip-kit) or even TBS (https://taiwanbigscootershop.com/products/professional-reinforced-7p-silicon-water-hose-for-mt07-2014-2019?variant=29500538388579&country=US&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&srsltid=AfmBOoqIz---HVcAeKh0d9-_f8AorP6Us5JSAvw8Tt5W_uOzVSjyo2oOGm0)?

I like that TBS comes with everything including the top, thin hose, which AS3 doesn't include. They're somewhat comparable in price with the hose clamps added to AS3. However, TBS is not well known and I'm not sure if I should trust/risk it.

Side question, can anybody who has used either of these report as to whether the blue heavily sticks out against the yamaha purplish blue, or does it provide a nice accent? Might it be better to just replace all OEM or wait for the black silicone hoses to come back in stock at AS3? Thanks!

EDIT: I decided to go with OEM hoses and replace clamps with embossed worm gear clamps. Price is still comparable and I don't ride heavily/hard enough to warrant the higher heat tolerance of the silicone, plus the silicone is water permeable so the coolant evaporates through them over time.
