FZ-07 Brake Upgrade MT-07 XSR700 BSOS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- Time to get a little more stopping power. I install some better brake pads on the FZ-07 (MT-07, XSR700, MT-07 Tracer). Very easy how to that you can easily do yourself. The FZ-07 MT-07 brakes aren't bad stock but could be better. In a previous video I put steel braided brake lines on. This improved the brakes a lot but installing these pads will be even better.

Good to see you do this simple mod, it's easy , so many people complain about brakes lacking bite, as if its the end of the world and nothing can be done. I'm convinced that most manufacturers fit dead feeling wooden pads for our own safety, god forbid that we should have brakes that actually work (especially rears) in case we should brake to hard and our faces fly off our heads and our eyes pop out! I have had huge improvements on bikes much less well brake equipped than the MT-07 with SBS (Scandanavian Brake Systems) sintered pads.
Have also experimented with different brands of OE spec pads in my Ford Puma with massive differences in performance. Great video!
I love the Bolt Shicago On Series! ❤️🐢☠️
Did you know the philips head screws on Japanese bikes are actually JIS not philips? I just learned this a week ago, that's why philips screwdrivers round out so easy, bought a JIS screwdriver off Amazon and it fits so much tighter in the screws.
FWIW, JIS screws should usually have a dot on the surface of the screw to let you know it's JIS....
What a revelation it was when I discovered the JIS screwdriver! Could never figure out why screw heads were always getting ripped up. Now that I have a JIS set, working on the bike is so much easier. Mystifies me that Yamaha includes a plain ol' Phillips head driver as part of the under-seat tool kit on the FZ/MT-07. Apparently they want us to rip up the heads!
Halloween Ride is real soon! facebook.com/events/2019192434798605/
Its like your dog knows what you did to that one dog in Thailand lol
Just picked up a 2015 FZ07 for super cheap because it either needs a new stator or rectifier. Thanks for a vids man. It makes figuring out how to take stuff apart a lot easier.
Man, I like how simply put you explained how disc brakes worked. Thank you, Mr. TheGardenSnake for the lesson.
I got a real laugh at 4:04 with the mouth made torque wrench noise ha!
Taking after Uncle Bumblefuck
Jake, I've been riding since I was 6. I got my first 49cc honda crf 2001. I recently got a 2011 yz 250f with the 5 valve head (no efi sadley). I'm going through it as the last person didn't take care of it. The forks are leaking and it doesn't like to idle. I'm slowly getting the grumpy troll back into race shape but you are my inspiration
Grant1282 I highly recommend checking the valves. You'll have a hard time starting it if the valves are out of spec especially on that bike.
Always come through where every other video comes up short, thank you for another one!
Glad you like them!
Every time I turn a wrench I think about how much of a fuckin customizer I am.
I really appreciate all the little pro tips you do in the videos. Not just the typical “undo this bolt and that bold and you’re done”, but the “undo this bolt then hold your dingleberries so you don’t shit on yourself, then if you fucker the bolt you can grab ahold of this bit and crack it with some vice grips since you already done goofed it and she won’t chooch anymore”.
One day left on the current run of Big Red Pig merch. If you don't get it now then you'll have wait like 3 whole days for it to end again OMG ahhhh I know right it is the biggest deal. But for real any bux made will go to the project. We got shirts, stickers, hoodies, can openers. Ok not really on the can openers, I emailed teespring and told them they need to get a can opener vender but they haven't responded yet. Let's keep our fingers crossed on that one. teespring.com/bigredpig#pid=369&cid=6521&sid=front
I have the MT07 with ABS brakes so if I want braided lines there's 7 or 8 lines needed depending how you do it.
So you just went with the EBC pads I assume? Would you still recommend these or did you find something better?
Thank you. That was the easiest brake job I’ve ever done! 5 minutes and BAM better stopping power with new EBC pads!
Pro tip: Take the time to clean the calipers, and especially the pistons and around the lips of the piston seals with nice soapy water and a tooth brush before pushing them back in. The seals will last longer, and there will be less of a chance of them leaking and/or binding up down the road (both literally and over time).
But Jake is a certified mechanic lol he didn't tell us too lol, I agree 💯 though
Thought you are suppose to put some copper or anti seize paste on the spots where the pads hit the shiny metal, to counter brake noise en pad binding. And on the pin you put through the pads? Or did I not spoke to a certified mechanic?
I follow the FSM for my bike. The only type of grease used on brakes will be on sealed slide pins on a rear caliper like is seen here.
Don't put any grease on the any part of the brake pads. Only part that needs SILICONE grease is on those sliding pins.
Even most slide pins don't require any sort of grease unless they have an O-ring seal on the end of the pin like my Honda's rear brake, and that is just a tiny bit of grease right on said o-ring. Otherwise, the pin should be clean and dry.
Tip for loosening stuck screws: tap the end of your screwdriver with a hammer while turning, may take a few mins but almost always works eventually
Btw those pads are way too grippy
I almost crashed mine were so grippy so I removed the front brake.
You do great work and explaining what the little things do. I work on cars and hate when I get a car someone tried to fix and didn't know what the hell they were doing and making my job hard. looking forward to the XR video.
I literally just did my brake pads on my 300 2 days ago. I don't notice the EBC pads to be "overly grippy" at all. They feel solid and similar to the stock pads, with just slightly more grab.
don't think you will read this xD but I've unsubscribed from pretty much all big moto bloggers cause it all just became stale. found you again on some build video and must say you've changed some how and I'm feeling the magic again.
I saw you on your drz switching gears on the rear! That shit inspired me to learn how to switch em out on the back tire. :) you're a real OG
I missed this series!
I have these HH pads on my Z750 and id say it stops in a 1/4 of the old breaking distance . Very awsome pads
My fave series. Thanks for your help.I recently purchased a sticker to help the channel out i cant wait to get them.
Did the pads give you a lot more stop? I hear the stocks were spongy or just didn't stop great where as the z650 stocks really stop well.
Just curious if you were wheeling off just power alone or or clutching
Those pads always give a bit more bite
love the torque wrench clicks
Sensational Green socks with camo crocs..Jake when can you take us flying again ... Paramotor time big boy
Please have camo crocks with green socks as merch.
We need steel toe crocs
11:54 Oh god that was the one thing in the JTGS video that was missing. Made my day :)
Hey jake Cheers from portugal!! do you notice any improvement of braking?
That clip at the end caught me off guard lmao
I got my Big Red Pig shirt yesterday, its dope.
Thank you. Very helpful. Getting ready to put EBC pads on my FZ07. Do you not use Copper Grease on the back of the Pads or the pin? I know there is a lot of debate about this. What are your thoughts? Thanks again.
No I just make sure it’s cleaned up. I know some people are all about this copper grease. I use two greases. A synthetic molly one. And think nasty trailer bearing stuff. I feel like I can get most done with those.
Been watching your videos for years man and I love them now more than ever... but those Chaser wheelies get me every time. 🤣... still love you tho man! Keep dropping the knowledge on these Squids. You are appreciated in the Moto Community!
Fuck that opening was hilarious 🤣 I never thought I could laugh so hard over flip flops and an office chair
For real braking power add some more rebound damping to those forks. But, since FZ-07 forks aren't "adjustable" -- ok so then the closest thing you can do for that is just throw in some heavier fork oil. But that could make the front forks a little more harsh (which may be ok actually seeing as how the stock forks are like mushy pogo sticks anyway lol)
It's because of you i can wheely my Fz 😁
Jake would you say your FZs engine is noisy like you can here it chattering over the exhaust once shes warmed up ?
Had you changed the sparks? Any recommendations for a better option than the stock ones
Thanks!
Hi! i put them on and they are great.
Only thing is that i have a very loud buzzz sound all the time (even when not braking)
What do i do with that?
My front brake works too good after pads and lines. Now when i pull the leaver my brake light doesn't come on, unless i pull really hard. Luckily my rear brake is adjusted correctly and will activate the light.
Serious question Jake, I have UA-cam premium or red or whatever it's called now. I don't see ads on videos, how does that affect you guys (content creators)?
It actually pays us like someone watched an ad, its a good system.
@@TheGardenSnake good then. I've been curious about that for a while. I see people saying they don't get notifications but I get everything. I guess it's kind of a pay for play thing.
I tried that redtube once but I could find Jakes videos, it was just all videos of naked people.
What pays you guys better? UA-cam red or patron?
Hey I've been riding a honda shadow 750 for 2 years and want to upgrade, I was looking at the FZ07 or FZ09 (btw I'm 6ft 1 in and dont ride like a hooligan), which would you recommend ?
Jake, how tall are you? I'm seriously considering an mt07 (I live in Japan) but I'm 6ft.2".... I test rode an xsr700 but when I saw the photo of me, I looked weird on it. Felt cool, but image is fooookin everything don't you know.
I’m 6 footish
that torque wrench noise is spot on lmao
Out of curiosity, I've seen some guys that put a little copper grease between the pistons and the back of the pads and also a bit on the "holding pin". Is there any (good) reason for doing it (that you can think of)? I've replaced mine and not used it. I've mentioned it to a few people before and never have gotten a good answer. Is it maybe an "ounce of prevention" kind of thing? Anyway, thanks for the vid!
It's to prevent squeaky noise
Do you have an opinion on applying grease to the caliper pins? I know you cleaned them off, but I've seen videos where people grease the pins.
Well that pins not a very tight connection and dust is made be the pads. The pads rattle on the pin. So grease would most likely just collect brake dust instead of help anything.
@@TheGardenSnake Okay thanks!
Hey dude what brand did you use ias your engine cover protection?
Question. I'm upgrading mine with the same pads and spiegler lines. But my front brakes have been really scary lately. Begining of my ride, the lever will have a normal travel and activate the brake light switch. Eventually it will get really stiff and touchy with no travel and it feels like they'll lock up. Then it will go back to feeling normal. Currently have shorty levers. Swapped back to stock, same thing occurs. Bled the brakes with a vacuum. Same thing. Bled the brakes manually. Same thing. Noticed during bleeding, not a lot of fluid comes out when I open the bleeders. Asking for your professional opinion. Master cylinder, lines, or calipers? Went to my local Yamaha, master and/or rebuild kits are months out from Japan. So I'm left with shotguning the lines and maybe disassembling the master and going through it.
When you did the vacuum pump was the cap on the brake resolver? Was the brake fluid you used new and unopened? Look around the web for a master cylinder rebuild kit. This bike is was to popular for someone not to have those in stoke.
@@TheGardenSnake installed the new lines and pads last weekend. No change. Put the bike on the rear stand and lifted up the front end and attempted to spin the front wheel. Could not get a full rotation. Removed the calipers again to inspect travel (compression and extension) they move freely. So I'm assuming the master cylinder is not releasing the pressure.
I wanted to follow up with you cause I had the same MZS shorty levers. The levers were the cause of the issue I was having. I compared them side by side with the stock and the pivot point is significantly different. The MZS levers were set at an angle that would push the master cylinder plunger in causing the brakes to drag. So I put the stock ones back on and bled them again. Perfect. I don't know if you or anyone else may experience this. Buyer beware.
Well, I found my next tattoo! "camo crocs, green socks likes my wheelies a whole whole lot"
Do the braided stainless brake lines for FZ07 fit XSR700?
What mirror are you using? Kinda like it :)
I wish I had this much dedication and determination as Jake. If I did, my 125 would be completely rebuilt and I wouldn’t have a blue piece of shit taking up space in my garage
Hey Jake, where did you get that Gud-n-tite torque wrench?
I fitted a set of Ebc organic pads to my Fzs, I think I'll replace them with some HH, as I find the organic pads don't have much bite.
organic?
@@MrSamdabeast Yes, that's what they are called
I like organic for the rear pads and EBC HH sintered for the front.
Aren't wheelies mandatory when braking in new brakes?
KillinInSecret of course
most definitely
I use EBC on my fronts and Oem's on the rear brakes.
Hay Jake, are you done with making paramotor vids??
Yeah Jake. You haven’t even mentioned it in ages!
I know this comment is 8 months old, and you've probably seen the new video, but he said he got rid of it and explained why in a newer video. Just thought I'd answer this in case you haven't seen the new video.
You clean those pistons before pushing them in ?
What kind of mirror is that? Does it not stick out as much as stock FZ mirrors?
what brand of of ratchet is that?? looks really handy
Put these on my fz-09... The caliper bolts were a little rusty, mostly surface rust it looked like. Do you think I should replace the bolts? It's been like 2 months and no issues so far
Steel wool or scotchbrite should knock off thr surface rust.
Like Scallie said, get the rust off, clean em, lube em and they should be good.
what jacket are you rockin? I really like the look of it.
That's the shortest allen socket I've ever seen.
Finally another bsos !!
2:08 Steel braided brake lines... I'd like to change my stock lines for some nice steel braided ones, but since my bike has ABS, I'm afraid it's going to be a pain in the arse
Next. A tune up “plugs” and coolant flush. Thx! 👍
I'm new to the biking world and want to get a fz07 but can only find mt07, what are the differences between fz07 and mt07
They are quite literally the exact same bike. Only difference is that it is called the FZ07 in North America and the MT07 on the other side of the pond (UK, Europe, ETC) and to avoid confusion (as with yourself), from 2018 onwards, the FZ is no more and the entire series is MT worldwide
What is the name of the spray you put on the mechanism?
wich NM had you use on the torque ranch
to tighten the screws?
Literally just watched the first 7 seconds like 15 times in a row
Man i'd love to have the Fz07 as a daily.
My brakes faded in emergency braking and my bike didnt stop well even with hard brakes both front and rear ,anyone what would hav been the reason for that?
Being someone who is from and lives in the suburbs of Chicago I laughed hard when he replaced shit with Chicago is great cuz its true! 😂
Perfect timing, literally doing the pads on my Yamaha today :D (and clutch plates+ springs, care to do a video on them? :DD)
What is the company of tools you use?
You make me want to go to school for motorcycle mechanics so bad 😖
In this episode we fit the genuine EDC1911 signature brakes
What NM of torque did you use?
I don’t like that you make this look easy 😂
If I try it on mine it might explode 😳
But I think I’m going to give this a go 👍
Bsos my favourite series 😜😜 awesome dank intro snake...always stay coool.
nice walk though, and you could almost be the next Green Eggs and Ham :D
This was a good video, Jake. It was not great. As a matter of fact, it was king of half-ass. But I feel like we hung out and got some shit done in more time than it needed to be. And that makes this video the best!
I don’t know if this a compliment or an insult but I’ll take it
Your creative style never lets down. Definitely made my day better!
Where are you moving to? Are you still in Texas?
I bought EBC brake rotors and pads the last time I needed to replace the brakes on my car... They are the biggest piece of s*** brakes on planet Earth!!! The pads didn't fit into the calipers properly without the edges being ground down slightly, they have very weak stopping power compared to the NAPA rotors and ceramic pads I put on before, they always squeak... ALWAYS, and god forbid they ever get wet! The rotors rust instantaneously! I will never give EBC another penny for as long as I live. I removed the EBC rotors and pads after just 3 months. Threw the pads right in the garbage and gave the rotors to a friend for scrap metal. Put NAPA ultra premium rotors and ceramic pads on the car, couldn't be happier! You live you learn. Only this lesson ended up costing me like $390.
More supermoto build videos please!!!!! Also surprised I got the first comment lol
Shoulda went with the Vesrah RJL pads!
Fuck yes the best intro song of all time 😂👌
Did you just use CUMout to clean the pin?! =)))) BTW, those pads are way to grippy =)))
Is this the same for most yamahas? I've got a wr that could use better brakes.
Its pretty simuler for lots of bikes. The front brakes on a wr will be more like the rear brakes on this bike. Its a two piston caliper with both pistons on one side like the rear. That's called a floating caliper. So you'll have one of those pins that has to be unscrewed, so loosen it before removing.
What is the clip at the end?
have u same problem like me? rear brake just do nothing from the factory? xD
nothing like new brakes bro 4 get what others say as long as they work for you people don't realize its sbout Preference and as long as u good fuk it i love great breaks
Pro tip: there's a million Yamahas that use that rear caliper. If you need anything for it, just buy and almost new one off ebay for dirt cheap
Do your gloves match your purse?
you should put inverted forks on this thing
What grips are those?
What happened to the bar end mirrors?
Is that your Paramore in the background if it is please make video
