New MT-07 Owner - MT-07 Done Right LOL

[etorty]

Well, I agree with all our colleagues who said this is the way they should have come from the factory.

Very well done, @YamahaMan!!!    

 

From the very first day that I see the recent R7, I've started to think "who knows if the front end will fit in some way??"

Well, this thread is the answer. Very thanks to the Author.

 

I've noticed a difference for the upper triple clamp, as you can see in the images below:

I think that the Upper triple clamp image posted by @crakerjac isn't the same R7 upper used by @YamahaMan.

But by searching in the Yamaha parts catalogue I can see that the R7's upper triple IS looking the same of the image of crackerjac.

So... what's the upper triple used by YamahaMan?? 

 

Said that, I try to do a little list of the parts, below. I've searched all the parts for the R7 m.y.2022.

• R7 upper triple tree (p.n. BEB-23435-01 to be verified)

• R7 high bearings (p.n. 93399-99931)

• R7 cover + nut + washer + nut + "special" washer + washer + "special" nut (p.n. 1W1-23416-00 + 90179-25004 + 90201-26017 + 90179-25615 + BEB-23418-00 + 90201-22018 + 1RC-23393-00)

• R7 lower triple tree and steering stem complete with bolts (p.n BEB-23340-00 + 91314-08030 x4)

• R7 dust seal (p.n. 3FV-23462-00)

• R7 lower bearings (p.n. 93399-99932)

• R7 forks (p.n. BEB-23103-00 + BEB-23102-00)

• R7 front wheel spacers (p.n. 90387-17017 x2)

• R7 brake calipers (p.n. 1RC-2580U-00 + 1RC-2580T-00)

• R7 bolts for front brake calipers (p.n. 90105-10440 x4)

• MT-09 front fender (PN??) @YamahaMan please, can you specify what's the MT-09 correct m.y. for that part?

 

As @FrodoFZ said, "the R7 front calipers are the same as 2020 R6 calipers (probably applies to earlier years as well) so if you were ever thinking about aftermarket calipers, aftermarket R6 calipers should bolt right up." And:

"R7 and MT 09 forks are the same part numbers, just cross-referenced them."

@FrodoFZ please, can you specify what's the MT-09 correct m.y. for that reference? That will be useful in order to do a correct research.

Thanks!

 

P.S.: of course the whole list above is subject to the thread Author's approval.

This bike really needed to have a 4.5" rims and run a 160 in rear and a 120/60 up front.  They saddled this bike with too much rubber and it could be much much nimbler with a 120/60 front and 160 in rear but with a 4.5" rim not 5.5".   This bike does not make enough power to warrant a 180.  its too slow handling in my opinion for a bike this light

Just saw this and I, in my opinion, absolutely agree, the XSR has the same width rim, which forces me to run a wider tire than necessary.   I am running a 170 though, the 5.5" rim was listed for the tire.  If I had a 4.5 I'd definitely run a 160, possibly a 150 if the tire was available in that size, even consider doing a 140.   My bike is no where near the capability of a 1000 super sport so why does it have the rear wheel/tire width of one.   I downsized the tire of my 250 dual sport for similar reasons, too wide eats up power to rotate it and with off roading, too wide can bog the bike in loose or muddy terrain where a narrower tire can be spun up to keep moving.   

If it wasn't for the $3000 price tag I'd get a set of spoke wheels, which would look good on the XSR, to get tire sizes I want.  Again, in my opinion, others will have differing opinions.

Please, is there someone that can tell me what's the bike that have this upper triple clamp?

It's not the R7 m.y.2024, for sure...

FWIW, I was verifying the structure of the real upper clamp of the '24 R7, and this is the view of the lower surface:

The two red rows are the two points where - supposedly - it's necessary to do the two holes in order to screw in the two risers.

In this section, the aluminium is really thin... I can hazard a guess for 3 or 4 mm, no more. Too thin, for me, to hold up the whole handlebar: I don't think it can be reliable.
