There are 2 different tubes you can get, the R6, then the R6S. The R6S is WAY cheaper and is only slightly better than the stock 07 tube. I got the R6S tube direct from Yamaha as it was about a quarter of the price of the R6 tube and to be honest, made the WORLD of difference! Loving your channel buddy. Keep it up man!

Awesome stuff! Really like watching your videos, keep up the great content :) I don't know if this matters to you, but you have a fan (me) from Finland! Funny how things like motorcycles can bring people together. I also ride a MT/FZ-07, stock though :/ Looking forward to getting an exhaust this summer, that will probably spice things up a bit :)

Hi, where you hiding ? hope to see some new stuff soon and you're keeping well.

Hey man, I recently stumbled upon your channel do to the high amount of fz-07 content I have been watching and researching. I subbed and thoroughly enjoy your content and just picked an fz-07 myself. Not sure what area your in but I live in Huntsville, maybe I'll see ya around some time.

Did you have to adjust the throttle cable in anyway?

Is the fz07 oem throttle tube the same as the mt10, would this mod work on the mt10 without any extra parts do you think

What year model R6 throttle tube will work on the 2022 mt07? Anyone know?

Hey buddy. To remove grips I always just spray some brake cleaner down there and twist them like hell. Usually come off easily. How does the R6 throttle tube feel? Is full throttle easier on the wrist?

I've never actually thought about using a solvent to get the glue to come loose, that's a fantastic idea for someone wanting to reuse the grips. After a couple rides it's easy to get used to it's just a mind trip if you think about it while riding. It's so weird that it travels the same distance but is obviously opening the throttle more and faster in the beginning of the travel compared to the stock one.

Think it's gonna mess with you when you're stuck in slow highway traffic at all? I've been debating doing this for a while, and getting pretty close to nutting up on the DNA air filter. Figured I'd knock both things out at once when I do it.

Think the f07 has a longer twist than the r6 so your wrist doesn't bend as much.

I owned Yamahas Supermoto XT660X and unfortunately I've sold it because, I got pretty fed up with big one cylinders, vibrations ,jerkyness. So I'm thinking about getting into MT07 maybe next year. Do you feel like you lack power on this bike? would you recommend getting 09 rather ?

@majormassenspektrometer

3 жыл бұрын

If you think the XT is jerky, then you will be disappointed. The MT-07 is jerky too. Very jerky. For the 07 or 09, the 09 is less jerky. Powerwise the 07 is enough but not for all riders. It's an entry level bike with meh suspension. If you can live with that, the MT-07 is awesome. I have one and I like it but I'm not a pro rider either.

Ordered the same tube, but when I install it, and reattach the black houses, the throttle won't move. It seems like it is stuck, locked or sticking. Damn it.

I know its 10 months late but ... After tubes swap, you have to adjust your throttle cable. Too tight, then your throttle won't move.

So... I'm not super sure if this is something I should do. I have a new xsr700 and the throttle is pretty snatchy. Did this smooth that out or is this just something that gives you a smaller dead zone?

This is definitely on the to-do list! I just got my Yoshi exhaust finally, more than two weeks after it was supposed to be ordered (long story).... And turns out the headers are too close together and won't line up properly 🙃 so I'm kinda pissed now because I'll have to see if Yoshi is gonna dick me around with exchanging the headers, wait for new headers hopefully, and I also realized the mounting bracket for the can has been designed by Satan's finest engineer to bring more hate into this world. Oh well, DNA filter should be here tomorrow, and I'm sending the ecu off to vcyclenut to be flashed... Then I can get into all the fun stuff lol performance comes first!

Color me stupid, but how does a throttle tube keep such a simar closed to WOT distance/angle, but make such a huge partial throttle difference? Why isn't it a linear difference? Hi-viz, good work.

Dont worry, theyll soon fall in love with you like the rest of us did and be captivated by your garbage, I mean charm.

I actually thought about doing the time stamp thing, I was inspired by That Pedal Show but their videos are an hour long so they really need them. I'll try it in the future for sure. As far as the throttle goes, I truly have no idea I'm as lost as you are. I guess there is some kind of engineering that goes into the shape of the curve on the cable part if the tube where it's not linear and can be moved for different progressions.

@FreeThoughtCrime

4 жыл бұрын

The distance is not the same. It is similar. Stock tube turns about 90 degrees from closed to WOT. The R6 throttle turns about 75-80 degrees. It doesn't seem like a huge difference on paper, but it actually is a makes huge difference in how the bike behaves.
