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!

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.

You seem like a very nice guy, I appreciated the video. Helpful for myself with a 2018 mt07. Lookin to add those mods

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.

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! :)

@HiVizSmiley

6 жыл бұрын

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!

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

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.
