Haha, this video made my day. Thank you!
Always a pleasure watching you tinker with the bike. And the exhaust sounds awesome!
No, thank you for watching! Thanks for the kind words my friend, I love the way this thing sounds now!
Hey man, entertaining video. Keep it up. I felt your pain through the install process and excitement at the end. I just installed the tuning kit two weeks ago and encountered everything you did. You're right about the company not leaving a note or some clue in the box about a few of the install details. Just evil! Once installed and flashed though, I was giggling just like you on that first ride and still am!
Thanks! I know it's a total non-issue for most people but I'm glad somebody else suffered like me haha. Ride safe my friend!
Awesome vid 👍 I'm getting my exhaust and ECU flash on my 2018 end of July 🤤🤤🤤 can't wait 😉
It makes a WORLD of difference, you'll be so happy when it's all done. Good luck!
You got me on the strat. Keep it up.
Sounds awesome !!! Great job on the vid and keeping your sanity while adding humor.
Thanks man, I'm getting pretty good in my old age at not taking everything so seriously. It's much better to laugh when something stupid happens than to get ill about it!
Gryphon W lol
I really like what you are doing, keep up the good work.
Thanks homie! No plans of stopping anytime soon
Sounds awesome!
Thanks goober!
EXACTLY!!! I also watch my fellow Motovloggers when I am trying to do stuff to my bikes!!!
Hey man, I picked up an FZ07 as a first bike this past Friday. Haven't done much riding except messing around in the driveway doing U-turns and whatnot, but I spent some time putting sliders and spools on, got the ECU flasher that you and Jake use installed yesterday (it was as big a pain for me as it was for you), and UPS brought me a Two Bros last night, which I may attempt to get on today. Got MSF class next weekend, and gonna try to get in as much practice in at the old VF parking lot as I can before I get out on the road. Needless to say, I'm excited about all this. Best I can tell, you're about 5 minutes from me, so maybe this spring when I actually know what I'm doing on this thing I'll run into you on the road one day.
A normal warts and all guide to tinkering, nice real vid, cheers :)
You seem like a very nice guy, I appreciated the video. Helpful for myself with a 2018 mt07. Lookin to add those mods
Thank you very much, you're far too kind. This one was kind of a hassle but I recommend both products for sure
really enjoyed your video!
Awesome, thank you so much!
i like your videos man. I can tell you watch alot of jake the garden snake though by the way you build your bike haha. good luck bro be safe
Yeah I owe a lot to Jake. I didn't know supermotos existed, and I eventually bought my CRF because of how fun he made motorcycling look. Thanks for checking it out homie!
If you have cell service you could run a hotspot from it through connections menu. I know this info is too little too late, but maybe it will help in the future. Keep up the great videos!
Haha I had so many people hit me up about that, even on Instagram the night I posted my troubles. Sometimes I'm too stupid for words. Thanks homie
Please post up a video giving a review of your exhaust/tune/filter. On the fence weather or not to do it. Want to know if it’s worth it. Thanks man. Keep making vids!
Absolutely! I actually killed my laptop yesterday but I've ordered another, so I may be a few days behind but I'll get it out there. I have that coming and also I am almost done shooting and editing an exhaust comparison video. Stock vs baffle in vs baffle out. Should answer some questions for ya!
Hey man. Just letting you know... If you don't have, WiFi somewhere. You can use your cell phone as a portable hotspot and use it's data and connect your laptop to that. Cheers
Adam B thanks for the tip man, I am pretty computer dumb some times. I'll definitely keep that in mind if I get in a similar situation again. Thanks for watching!
Hey man, where did you end up mounting the ground to? My flash tune kit just arrived in the post today, looking forward to fitting it as well as the air filter! :)
They say don't use the bolt that Jake used, so I sanded a spot of powdercoat off the frame under the rear tank bracket and grounded off one of the screws that attaches that bracket to the frame.
Cheers man, already fitted it a few days after the comment, I didn't use the bolt jake used either! :)
Nice Videos
Thanks!
Dude after watching you and Jake do this, I ordered the flash kit. I’m so stoked. Did you happen to download any maps or were they all integrated within the software already?
Up to this point I've just used maps that were in the software already, although you can use even power commander maps as far as I know. Good luck homie!
It arrives tomorrow! I’m pumped! Hello from Nevada!
the akrapovic titanium can't be beaten tho with the yamaha!
But it does sound amazing for a way cheaper pipe, wish you lots of fun with it
If I could shell that kind of money for one it would be hard to pass up either Akra system. I'd certainly get a high quality piece then! Thanks man!
Toce is the most badass in looks and sound imo
SoloSeff yes it can. The Twobros S1R is the #1 highest rated exhaust for the FZ and MT bikes.
FREDDEMANNEN01 Yup. Just got a Toce
Hey man, really helpful video. I'm looking at upgrading to an MT-07 in July so been watching a lot of videos lately. Think I'll go with the Black Widow exhaust like you have because I'm here in Ireland so shipping from the U.K. would be quite cheap in comparison to ordering a Yoshimura system from the U.S. Just a quick question on the ECU flash, how difficult is it to actually navigate the computer programme or is it pretty self-explanatory? Also do you think it was worth the money? Thanks man & ride safe! :)
The Black Widow is definitely a solid system, as long as you don't expect an Akra's fit and finish. I was a little harsh in the exhaust video, some of the troubles were my own fault and I intend on making another video to address that. As far as the tune goes, the program itself is stupid easy to use. It would be really hard to mess something up. As long as you're not an idiot like me and have internet in your shop, it would be no hassle whatsoever. I only rode it with the pipe without a tune for about 3 miles putting it around, but once I flashed it and started riding it normally, the power and torque increase is definitely noticeable. It takes the wheelie potential you know and love, and brings it up another notch, still not overwhelming, but a little better. Definitely worth every cent. Thank you sir, stick around!
@@HiVizSmiley what program did u use to flash?
GoodMods flash tune's included software
You should have made a hot spot betwin your phone and laptop .That yould have ya internrt and it uses the wireless module to do it ;)
You think I know how to work my phone that well? Haha I wasn't even in a state of mind to come up with a solution like that
Okay so how much power did you get out of it?
What PC map can I use if I installed a M4 slip on and removed the snorkel?
What a great place to live. The roads are empty
It really is man. I have a five minute drive to get to some mountain roads that are to die for, and nothing but backroads for miles in each direction and like you say, pretty much always empty.
Hey I love your content and a lot of it is very helpful. Do you mind creating a video on replacing the coolant from the radiator. I'm having issues looking for instructions on youtube/internet. You may not need to change your coolant. But, I think it would be a good informative video for your channel. I bought a used 2016 FZ-07 yesterday. It only has 1200 miles. But, it seems everything is screwed up and needs a tune up. Black oil, loose/filthy chain, low coolant. I'm taking care of everything 1 by 1. Maybe, also get around the brake fluid and transmission fluid. Like I said you may not need to change those things on your bike. But, would be great content for other people to watch and learn, you seem like you know what you are doing.
Yeah man, I could definitely get a video up,. To keep it from taking months to get it filmed I might make you a quick and dirty private video. I've done something of the sort with one of my old CRF videos, but I can't even watch it it's so awful. Coolant flushes on bikes are usually super easy so it won't be hard at all, about as complicated as an oil change really.
Free Jermz i
I wonder if you could use the stock lid, remove the snorkel and cut opening bigger to match DNA filter cause $100 for a lid is ridiculous
Are you not able to power wheelie in 1st and 2nd? Were you pinning the throttle?
The bike could, I however cannot.
Any change in your average mpg and fuel consumption after retuning the bike and replacing the air filter?
I honestly have never checked the FZ's fuel economy, I wish I knew for you
Just got the flash tune kit Monday and was wondering would the power commander maps work with a slip on m4 exhaust or would I need the whole exhaust system
Shouldn't be a problem. Just load a tune in it and see how it does
Thanks man love the videos
I'm gonna be tuning my ecu this month and I'm a little worried about it do you have any advice for doing it properly
I wouldn't worry. The tuner's software is super easy to use, so long as you have internet haha. Jake TGS does a better job showing the actual laptop screen to get yourself familiar with it. Just dive in headfirst, it's no problem. Let me know if you have any questions man
Noticing any difference?
Yes actually. A little more low end and mid range torque, which it already has plenty of. It pulls up wheelies even easier now and just feels stronger all over. This is only after about 30 miles or so, and I'm going to mess with the tune some more and then give a review of some kind.
I never knew you're an rc pilot
I actually have never flown before, all of those are my dad's. He's had some nice ones over the years, but got out of it in the late 90's. I've got a Mini-Revo and clone Baja 5B, but nothing too special. I need to get that 5B back running, nothing like a 30 pound RC car!
Is the ecu flash something that has to be done when you change the exhaust
Simon McConville People will tell you it's not required, especially if you're just doing an exhaust, but i think you should. It improves the bike in several ways and makes it more enjoyable to ride regardless of mods. In my case, I rode it ~3 miles with all the mods and no tune and it wasn't happy at all, much better once it was tuned
Hi-Viz Smiley All the US bikes NEED føashing, but the EU ones got a bit more fuel and run ok without a tune.
Mr. Smiley what kind of wax do you use on that Matte color to get that shine?
I've never waxed anything in my life. This has only ever had normal car wash soap on it with a foam cannon. Every now and then I'll hit it with some showcar showroom shine which I'm guessing is just a quick detailer. I'm awful at caring for any kind of paint so there's nothing special here
@@HiVizSmiley Well that baby is shining with a matte finish.
@@HiVizSmiley Question Hi Viz. I very had my bike a week. Get on the highway can only get up to 60mph @4000 rpm. I was advised not to go over @5000 until I reach 600 miles. I very never had a new bike to break in. Is the speed suppose to be this way in the beginning???
@@derekholms6171 are you saying the bike physically won't go faster? What bike is it? Some new ones have a limiter built in so it won't go to a certain speed or rpm. That may be what you're dealing with.
@@HiVizSmiley Hi Viz it's a MT09 and I ride it only in B Mode because A Mode is crazy sensitive. But on the highway I noticed that 60mph is it without reaching 5000 rpms. I'm hoping this is a breaking in thing. Or like you said the factory might have set it at a limit.
Can you tell me how you get the silencer mounted right? Im in need of help.😥
Arne Skjevik yeah man, what's going on?
Hi-Viz Smiley i could not get that mounting for the silencer right😡😠
Arne Skjevik do you have Instagram? If so add me @HiVizSmiley that way you can dm me pictures and make it a while lot easier to help you
I knew it...Jake snaked
He's a huge inspiration of mine, I can't deny it if I wanted to
I wish I had the ability to do these mods... but I dont. ='(
Oh man :( If it makes you feel any better it took me six months to gather everything up and the installs were pretty painful
On the flip side, I'd get the parts in a week tops... and then stare at them forever. I got a new seat kit for Christmas... and I had to have someone else install it for me. I could barely install my trickle charger.
Blitz6804 I lack motivation most of the time. That and I have to really divi out of my time, seems like there's less and less hours in a day the older I get
Bad enough I would have to pay that much for the wiring and then have the cost of a laptop on top of that.
Mobile hotspot ffs
I'm an idiot, as you can clearly tell
