The only thing left is the Evotech radiator guard (which has been out of stock for a month) and that's about it. Will upgrade tires when stock is worn and upgrade to a 520 chain and sprocket when the stock chain is worn (which will be way down the road). That's about it. Might sell my CRG RC2 standard levers later for $120 together plus shipping (two months old) if I like the shortys and my TST brake modulator for $20 plus shipping. Went from a Rebel 500 to a MT-07 and I love it. Definitely going to keep her for a few years. Bike looks great! I'm liking that colour more and more. I went from a Rebel 500 to my '18 MT07 as well. I'm on my third season on the MT07 and not looking back. Edited May 24, 2020 by JayMT07 1 Instagram: @jayparrington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7fold Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Not really today, but over the weekend I finally put on some of my goodies from the Belissimoto group buy a while back - Giles chain adjuster, levers, and axle nut (before putting on my rear axle slider and covering up all that titanium goodness). I also got my ECU back from 2WDW and installed my Graves system; the bike sounds absolutely incredible now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator mjh937 Posted May 27, 2020 Global Moderator Share Posted May 27, 2020 I got my parts from @bellissimoto today. The service was great, @pgeldz was very fast to respond to my pm’s, even on the weekend (I first message on a Sunday and he got back to me in less than an hour). I do not think I could have found a better price anywhere else either. Now I just need a rainy day so I can get everything installed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pioneer Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Took my bike down some questionable roads and a bit off-road. Probably shouldn't have taken it where I did, but it was great fun and I don't regret it. Next time I'll have to use a more suitable bike though.

I basically have everything from TST, GTR signals, integrated tail, axb chain adjusters, and am going to get the shorty levers. Which tank pads are those?

That was the first mod before the frame sliders. My tank pads are TechSpec snake skin: TechSpec Snake Skin Tank Pads Yamaha MT-07 2018-2020 A perfect blend of surface tack and grip pattern, Snake Skin provides unparalleled tank traction to boost rider... How do you like the axb chain adjusters other than the spools? I have the womet spools on mine already. Edited May 27, 2020 by Devilman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you like the axb chain adjusters? Gonna put them on this weekend so I'll report back. They're similar to the Gilles ones, but just a few bucks cheaper and utilize a spring that goes on the axle bolt. They seem to be quality, and also include a mount for smaller spools to use on a rear stand just like the Gilles do. I opted for the Womet spools for the chain adjusters because they're a little bigger than the standard ones. Also have the Techspecs I haven't installed yet lol. Edit: Also have T-Rex racing sliders in that pile of parts and about to order their engine cover lol Edited May 27, 2020 by 1down5up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also when I installed the pads I used a heatgun on the tank to warm it up so the glue sticks better. I put mine on in January and have had no issues with it coming up on the corners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran a hot lap (60 miles) on the road with a Q4 rear -60 and its inspiring for the track. Nothing untoward, but it's possible it rubbed at full extension. No pics right now. I'm way outta state. Family stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Evill_Ed Posted June 6, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted June 6, 2020 Oh it’s close alright. I loosened the rear mounts on the Akra and shifted it forward to gain some extra room. (Rear mounts are slotted) I also have my swing arm at 13 degrees with the AP dog bone and the longer Razor RR shock. With the chain adjusted where I want it (extra slack for the steeper swing arm angle) I have 3/16-inch clearance at full swing arm extension. Clearance increases as suspension travels up. I love the grip and feedback from the Q4’s and especially like the way the bike turns in with the taller profile. I checked throughout the day and did not see an evidence of rubbing.

"> Ed Good, @Evill_Ed I don't run your setup other than the Akra-Ti , AP dogbone, and Ohlins upfront. I had no rub on the rear-end lifted on jack stands on the rearsets, but I didn"t account for air pressure rising , like I said nothing seems untoward on the tire wear-wise. But the difference is............ Lets me say this... If this is the normal for track guys, I cant wait for slicks, and full wet's. Now I just have to get to the track....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go_go_gadget88 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Added my first mod last night! Nothing crazy, but popped in a motion pro throttle tube to replace the stock one. Shortened throw, but still not as much as I was expecting. May go with the OEM R6 one at some point down the road, but for the $8.xx I spent, it's a definite improvement over the stock one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobZilla Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Last night I installed a new set of tyres. I have to say, mounting tires can be a real pain in the ass using tire irons. First time doing it myself. Balancing was the easy part. I also installed the black fork covers between the triples. It really cleans up the front end. The front Michelin Road 5s do look backwards, but that’s the way the arrow points. Rubs, rubber, tires, tyres, feet, shoes, slicks, radials..... what else can we call them?
