Global Moderator Pursuvant Posted October 17, 2020 Global Moderator Share Posted October 17, 2020 I see people take the inevitable pain in life and they resist it, turning pain into suffering (in a different context). You are a screen door fzar, you let the wind blow right through you without resisting. You will never suffer with a positive attitude like that. Good to know you're ok 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilman Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Finally pulled the trigger and installed 1 inch bar risers and also put on Pro Grips. Haven't been able to ride because of weather but later today it is going to get better so I can see how I like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put a set on yesterday and road tested today, but it was first cold day in Houston so I wore diff (full finger) gloves. I don't know if they are better till I get a ride in with my summer fingerless mitts Edited October 18, 2020 by Pursuvant Added "714" model no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilman Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 No I got the 699. But I got out and I liked them. Better than stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watarski Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Just took off the Ohlins STX46 rear shock I had on the bike for less than a hundred miles before my wife decided she wanted the MT07... Probably going to be listing it for sale soon. The shock, not the bike. Wife would shoot me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VEXX Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Last week the bike turned 20k. Did everything myself except spark plugs and synchronising the throttle bodies. picked it yesterday from the workshop where I had those things done and immediately after I swapped the oem air filter lid for a more recent year that a friend borrowed. I’m astonished... was it the plugs, the lid, the sync?... it pulls harder and faster. It’s more agressive. this really is one good engine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An euro spec race blue 2016. The strange thing is that from 2017 they changed to the one on the right and it still remained a gen 1 mt07. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RacerXSD Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) Over the last couple weeks I made some changes. Replaced the levers. Someone knocked my bike over in a parking lot many months ago and broke the clutch lever . Lever still worked, just had a couple inches broken off. New levers are short style and made a huge difference in not popping a wheelie accidentally on take off. They're awesome, thought they'd just look different, no idea they would function different. Put a rear mud guard on the tire. I did the tail tidy previously. It doesn't rain here often, but I was getting soaked from the rear tire spray when it did. Removed the rear pegs, relocated the brake fluid reservoir using existing parts. Been wanting to do that since I got the bike in 2018 but didn't like the brackets sold that have the reservoir sit out in the open. Watched a youtube video of someone who did it for free and thought it was genius. Removed and refinished the stock exhaust - wire brush, sand paper, high temp primer and paint - did that today. The stock bare metal exhaust looked out of place with most everything else black. I'm gonna look into a cheap slip on to replace the stock tip. If I can't find one maybe I'll paint that part too.

ElGonzales Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) I created some kind of reversed ice fluo this winter. In the next week I will replace the licence plate holder by a shorter one and then we are ready for the spring Edited February 13, 2021 by ElGonzales 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffroTull Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 It's 2 degrees F here today with a -10 degree windchill, so I put in my my lcd flip + red color screen. I like the red cause I think it looks more "racey" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

208MT07 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Threw my OEM R6 throttle tube on today, throttle definitely feels snappier and more responsive now. Can't wait for all the snow to melt so I can actually go try it out on the road. Chain and sprockets are next, should be able to do them this next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qays Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) Finished the 1000KM service, next one is at 6000KM or 6 months (whichever occurs first). Also installed the Nelson Rigg Commuter Lite Tail Bag and went out for a bag of groceries. I've got to say the bike is more useful now. Here are some pics Edited February 15, 2021 by Qays 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VEXX Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Since the 20th of december that my MT has been stopped due to the impounding of the title, so little by little I've been cleaning some things up. The title was caught because the law in my country suddenly changed and my OEM accesory short licence plate holder was not legal anymore... That and my akrapovic with cat but not the dbkiller was illegal... Back to stock... ish... it goes while I wait for an inspection that will take several months to come and a minute to go. Sold the Titanium / carbon exhaust (the dbkiller was a pain to take out and a bigger pain to go in) and while I waited another titanium akra popped up. So cleansed that and couldn't resist in putting it on. new sticker ordered. It will have to be replaced for the inspection but a CP2 engine just doesn't sound right with the stock exhaust. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice bike dude! That sucks that happened though... I kinda like how they sound from factory I get some occasional exhaust burble shifting from 1st to 2nd and sometimes even during deceleration. Off course how can have "enough" exhaust note right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripinpepz Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Today I finally swapped in some 15w fork oil with shorter spacers. Only took like an hour. Can already tell the difference it will make. Ktech razor lite rear shock arrives tomorrow too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
