Top 5 Upgrades For Your Yamaha R7

I got a video recommendation asking if I can make a video on R7 mod recommendations. So I will be doing that in this video. And I have a top five list of mods that I have and haven't done to my 2024 Yamaha R7. Starting, and this goes with pretty much any bike, I would recommend a full exhaust system. Right here I have the Yoshimura R77 full exhaust system, which includes the headers. I don't know if you guys can see that. We got the carbon version. I think it was about 900 bucks after shipping and a coupon code. And I'll put a exhaust clip in here. I think it sounds pretty good. I think it's the best sub-thousand dollar full exhaust that you can get for the Yamaha R7. And to pair with that, I would recommend getting a ECU tune on your bike. I don't have one yet. But this coming winter, I'm planning on taking the ECU out and getting it shipped. Tune for the exhaust and getting it back, which will help with engine braking, fuel economy, and it will reduce the pops and bangs that it produces, which you guys also hear in my previous videos. In Minnesota, I can't really ride this during the winter. So it would be a perfect time to get that done. The second mod that I would recommend on your Yamaha R7 is some sort of tail tidy. A lot of good options out there. This one retains the stock taillight. It gives us a bracket to put these turn signals down there. They also make one where the license plate is tucked up here, but I don't want to have a problem with the lock. And here is what it looks like. I like it a lot. Just really cleans up the bike in the back. Adds the aesthetic, which brings me on to number three. The third mod recommendation I have is flush turn signals. The stock ones pretty much come out to like here. They're just nice or these look a lot better. These are only 25, 35 bucks. The fourth mod that I would recommend for your Yamaha R7, which I do not have at the moment, is a quad lock or some kind of cone mount. For the R7, it goes right here. I'm pretty sure you have to take off all of this right here to do it. So it's a little bit of a hassle, but I will get around to doing it soon. It's just nice to have my phone in front of me so I can see directions because right now I really only ride this bike where I know I can go without needing directions because I do not want to get lost with my phone in my backpack. The final mod recommendation I have for the Yamaha R7 is a rear spool. My dad actually installed this. This allows you to put the bike up on a rear stand, which we have right here, and it just makes it easy to clean the chain and whatnot. It's cool when it's put up on the stand. Just a maintenance thing, but maintenance should be a priority of anyone that has a bike. And I do have a bonus mod. If your Yamaha R7 does not come with a factory quick shifter, I would get one. My Yamaha R7 does not have a quick shifter. We are planning on getting one soon. Basically what it does, it allows you to upshift and I think downshift without needing to pull in the clutch lever. Just gives it that, I guess, MotoGP kind of sound too. No brakes in between shifts. I think it's important to know how to drive a manual car or ride a manual bike, which is pretty much every bike, without a quick shifter because of TGC clutch control. Then once you master that, then you can go to the quick shifter. That's pretty much everything for the 2024 Yamaha R7. Might get some stealth mirrors, but visibility on these are pretty good. Loving how she sits now. We're definitely going to get the ECU tuned soon, as well as the quick shifter and the phone mount.
