Your videos have been so useful to me. I just got an r7 and I’ve been referencing each of them multiple times. Thanks for the amazing r7 content you put out
Thanks man I really appreciate the comment and I’m happy they have been helpful, that’s exactly why I started doing UA-cam vids, cheers!
I’m trying to figure out how to fix this leak. I think it’s the radiator hoses but literally can’t find the hoses. My first bike is the r7 I got but confused at the moment
Great video as always man, I enjoy watching your content. I got a 23' R7 with a Yoshimura exhaust and love it, your videos have helped so much. Take care and ride safe on those track days!
Thanks Matthew I appreciate that and happy the vids have helped bro! Enjoy the bike!
Nice work buddy... I thought the first race vid moght have been this weekend... And mildly dissappointed it wasn't... But does give me something to look forward to now...
Great job on this vid though... And what a BALL ACHE all the safety regs are.... :D
Yea I still got a lot of work to do on that vid lol. I fell way behind on making and editing being gone so long lol
I almost went this route but I was too lazy to remove the fairings.so I just installed the guard using zip ties around the radiator
Yea it’s a lot of work for a radiator guard, zip ties work though
Wow that torq setting they call for on the drain plug dang!!! If I remember correctly the cylinder and head bolts on my dirt bike are less like 20 lbs zone😮
Yea man it’s insane, I’ve had a few people tell me they stopped out their pan with 32. Yamaha should have to pay for that fail, I even downloaded the newest owners manual and it says the same thing, even more annoying is the service manual with different amount of oil that the bike should take lol
@@ScoutsOut what!…different oil amount? I’m a Yamaha fan but that’s dropping the ball, for the plug it should be like half that, with the oil helping I would think 30 lbs would strip it every time. At least for you now and the wire you don’t need to worry about it and just torque what feels right. 🤙🏼
Yea dude, they need to up their QC game
Great video Scout, as always awesome work and great explanation. Thanks for sharing and have a great day mate. Ride on🤙
Thanks ck cheer bud!
get titanium bolts holes will be where u want them like the drain bolt lol
Yea that would be nice but I’m cheap and was outta time lol
Ty for the video as usual. I really wanna ride with you. I’m in the East Bay. Can I come to you? If not it’s all good. Your my dude anyways. Thanks for the confidence building videos bro
Hell yea bro if your ever in the San Luis Obispo area, hit me up!
I enjoyed the chicken noises in the background! Lol! Yeah, I looked at my radiator on my 400 after the break in period and already noticed some nicks in it. Promptly purchased a radiator guard and it has helped tremendously. I understand the wiring of the bolts. Keeps the oil and fluids off the track and debris from being kicked up on the riders. Pain but I watched STG video with Brian talking about wiring up Max's bolts for MotoAmerica and he has used silicon on the wires to keep them in place. Maybe a requirement for MotoAmerica but it kept everything tidy plus easy to remove when working on the bike.
Cool video, keep up the great work and good luck on the racing. Like the way the track fairings turned out!
Thanks man, haha I was wondering when people would mention the chickens, they get so dang loud sometimes lol. The silicon is a great idea I might do that as well. Luckily with the CRA I’m racing in the banjo bolts are good with just putting some RTV on them.
Are you racing a 400 right now?
@@ScoutsOutno, unfortunately I’m not really close to any tracks. Live in SW Missouri and I think the closest are KC or Texas. Haven’t looked into too much though.
Ahh dang that kinda sucks, probly a good thing though cause it can get really expensive really fast
Nice video , glad I'am retired bro.😁 No more phone ringing off the hook.......Hey guy can you come into work..........🙉🙉🙉🙉
Haha someday bro I will be right there with ya!
loving the videos! i'm looking for new tires on my 2022 R7 and i live in ohio. Any suggestions? Thanks! Keep up the great videos!
Thanks man, hard to say it all depends on the riding you like to do and the time of year. I really like pirelli super coursa
Thanks so much for sharing! and for mentioning about the oil screw torque. Hey how did you secure the ratiator guard? I didn't see it on the video
I'm also curious about this, I've sen a lot of R7 radiator guards had to be zip tied on but it didn't look like that here
What’s up bro! The radiator guard is secured by the silver 5mm hex screws that hold the plastics on
@@matthewhagerty3935 yeah exactly! Lol
@@matthewhagerty3935I should have trued to put the complete install of the radiator guard together but more towards the end I put the plastic guards back on that hold the radiator guard on. I agree zip ties are not the best way this guard is secured with the 5mm hex bolts so it’s very secure
@@matthewhagerty3935I’m about to put my radiator guard on that’s very similar to this. I was thinking of making a video solely dedicated to that. I watch his videos and they’ve been such a help! So I thought maybe I could help others out too
Random question: have you had to change your stock bridgestone batlax tire? And if so how many miles did you get out of it? Thanks for your videos!
Yea I’ve gone through 2 s22’s in the rear. My first one was looking ruff around 3500. The front was bad by 6500. I’m currently using the rosso iii’s. They have held up well on the track so far but I’ll be getting super coursa next.
Is there a proper way to clean the radiator from bugs? I’ve always heard you can’t clean it because you’ll bend the little grooves but the bugs just look ugly lol
if you are very light with a wire brush, preferably a copper one you can not only clean it but it will help get the bent fins straight again. but once again be very carful
Hi Scout! I have a 2016 FZ07 that I'm looking to start racing in a few months. Can you give me a quick idea of all the areas that need safety wired for tech? I saw you did the oil filter and front caliper bolts but I know there are more requirements. Thanks!
It’s quite a bit and can be very different depending on the race organization. I can sent you the tech inspection for mine if you hit me up on IG @scouts_out_yt
Hi brother I got a R7 Yoshi full system, the first time I turned it on the smoke came out for a little and stopped but now I smell gas every time I ride what can be possibly wrong
The small amount of smoke is normal. As for the gas smell that is a little odd but would have nothing to do with your installation. Sry it took so long to respond but are you still smelling fuel a lot?
@@ScoutsOut yes every time I turn it on it smells like fuel maybe I’ll take it in to get checked out maybe a leak somewhere or possible becuase I twisted the fuel sensor?
The o2 sensor should through a code if there is something wrong with it. The bikes pops a lot with the new exhaust which is most likely from the extra fuel in the exhaust. If you are really worried about it take it in or put the stock exhaust back on and see if you still smell it, hope this helps
