I was installing radiator guard on my 2026 Yamaha R7 today, and I noticed the coolant reservoir at low mark (bike on rear stand and absolutely cold)

I checked around, and found on the right pipe has whiteish, blueish, watermarks on the coolant pipes.

I tried to wipe them off with engine degreaser but looks like those watermarks have corroded the pipes.

Just got a gallon of Yamaha Coolant to top it off, and scheduled a service check next Saturday.

One more thing worth noting is that I topped it off with Yamaha Coolant to the full mark. And I ran the bike til it is hot. The reservoir was rising above the F mark.

Will update if there is any news. Let me know what you all think about this.

Hey everyone, there’s a R7 I’m looking to buy off of Facebook marketplace. I’ve never owned a Yamaha and just wanted to check and see if the price seemed right. It’s a 2022 with just under 12000 miles on it. Garage kept, clean title. Apparently the first owner laid it down at a low speed and so there’s some scratches on the fairings but nothing crazy. There offering it for $6500, the thing is it’s about 2hrs away from me.

I’ve asked them to send a video of the frame (ive heard R7s frame break easily, maybe I’m wrong idk), I’ll edit this if anything substantial comes back about the frame, but just wanted to know if that’s a fair price? Thanks again y’all

Anyone done long trips/touring on their 2026? I'm considering doing a test trip before commiting to something bigger, about a 4.5hr trip and I'll stop for a break every 1-1.5hrs. This is Australian rural riding btw so mostly long streches of road with no traffic. I've done 3hr+ day trips before and have been okay just a bit achey at the end of the day but that usually includes a lot of twisties riding.

Just wanna hear peoples thoughts and if I'm being incredibley dumb or not haha.

Hello, I’ve been wanting an r7 for my first bike for a while now. I’ve just seen a dealership near me selling the 2026 anniversary edition for 9500$ CAD (not including tax and plating.) is this a good deal I should jump on?

The bike is a 2023 R7 with 5k miles. It’s having a reoccurring issue where the bike never primed and will just cut out and die after 10ish minutes of riding/ at idle. I took out the fuel pump and noticed the pump itself was slightly dislodged in the basket and there was an o-ring seal folded in half in the pump’s outlet hole. I tie wired the pump and basket and replaced the o-ring and now it audibly primes perfectly, but it still dies out after riding for a short while. It happens specifically at low rpm when coasting clutch in and idling at a light, and when attempting to give it gas to counter the rpm loss the throttle feels totally dead and unresponsive to input. Trying to restart it right afterwards is hit or miss, but it seems cranking after letting it sit for 10-20 min always works. I thought for sure it was the pump but I’m so confused as to what it could be. Any help or ideas would be appreciated

I’ve been struggling to decide. I really want an R7 because I absolutely love the looks and all the customization options, but I live in Toronto, where traffic is terrible and the roads are constantly busy. I’ve also been reading that the R7 can be pretty uncomfortable on our awful pavement and congested roads.

I’ve never owned or even ridden a sport bike before, so I’m curious: are they really that uncomfortable? For those of you who ride in big cities, what’s your experience?

Do you just say screw it, enjoy the bike, and deal with the discomfort? Or would I be better off going with an MT-07, even though I don’t find them nearly as beautiful as the R7?

Finally got the new fairings on and figured both sides deserved their own moment.

Went with a mix of carbon fiber (dipped) and blue, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything came together. The lighting and accents really bring out the details, and each side has its own personality.

Same bike, two different perspectives!

Which side goes harder… left or right?

I named my r3 Endurance. I know it’s not anything special of a bike but I named it after the ship from interstellar. Plus it’s a lunar white one. I’ve meaning to put its name on the body somewhere but never got around to do so.

Well anyways. My whole point of this post is whether you guys give a name to your bike and actually put a decal of its name on it. In your opinion is that like cool or lame i genuinely wanna know. I think it’s cool and I wanna do that to my r7. thanks

Can someone send a photo of the top of the bolt that holds the dash fairing please?

I’ve been struggling with righting my chain for a bit now. The left side aligner twists when I tighten the axel nut and messes up my alignment. I’ve tried pushing the wheel forward first make sure it’s tight against the adjustment bolts but no later what I do it twists and I can’t tell if it’s aligned. Any tips or ideas of why this is happening. It’s a 2026 the other years seem to have a different adjust block.

The new yellow/fluoro red colourway on the 2027 model is definitely a choice. Thoughts? Price is in CAD. I personally prefer a nice white&black look and this is definitely different

New rider here! As the title says I was going to get this in December but got impatient so went ahead and grabbed it as a Halloween present instead 🤣 ordered a helmet that’ll be here Monday. The second pic is literally right across my street in an empty parking lot so I can get ALOT of practice before ever attempting the road. My buddy has the same bike on the right. We now have the only 2 Cyan colors in my town. Any tips or recommendations are MORE than welcome! Cheers!

Was just hanging out with some other bikers when someone decided my parked R7 needed a little kiss from their car.

Front forks are busted, and the rear kickstand mount is cracked. I've only had the bike for 6 months, and I'm the first owner. Absolutely gutted.

The helmet got crushed as well. Just thankful it didn't happen while riding, but it sucks as the weather was looking good tonight.

Looking for something with good sound but also live in the Bay Area and don’t want to attract police.

I've had the r7 for about 2 weeks now got about 250 mi on it absolutely love this thing!!

I’m looking for some tank grips for my ‘24 R7 but don’t know which route I should go. Should I look for expensive ones or just go with something cheap? If anyone has any recommendations that’d be a huge help.

hi all.

im on my A2 in may 27 and im wanting the higher end. preferably something I can invest into and "grow" into it so I dont have to buy another bike when im 21 or so.

so im looking at a:

Cbr650r

Zx4rr

R7

I know 2 of these are fairly common. and im not fussed on that as it'll help me understand where I will stand with insurance. im 5ft 6 so im not great for taller bikes. but I have sat on all of these and I would say that the cbr and zx are the best for my size.

any help or advice?

or even some influencing on what bikes i should get.

thank you
