DE-RESTRICTING the Yamaha R7 LAMS Part 1 (with Dyno charts!) | Yamaha R7 build series

[@lincolnking9039]

Keep those bloopers coming mate Fken love em sick of seeing fake people keep it real and I guarantee u will get some subscribers love the vid btw iv just put in a new order to get the 2024 r7

[@rafaellastracom6411]

I like how the NSW government set the limit at 660 cc so that the Triumph 660 power unit is OK. These people are as corrupt as they come.

[@ichista]

It's not only based on the cc it's power to weight that's why you can't ride a R6 but you can ride the r7 for example

[@LegitimatelyMaxPower]

Nice one mate! I’m currently tossing up between the CBR650R and the R7. Starting to think R7 is the way to go

[@BB22Racing]

The CBR will have more power than the R7, but the R7 is a lighter, more nimble bike. Personally I love the twins, so I'm really keen on finding out how this bike will turn out when we're done with it.

[@rafaellastracom6411]

The CBR is close to 100hp. Ride both before you decide.

[@michaelray1st]

Been there as well this summer. Chose R7. Never looked back. Love that thing its so much fun!

[@cammo4000]

Good vid. The hordpower intake makes a significant difference to top end power, really needed for the track. My HO makes 80 hp at the wheel (hord intake, full exhaust, PCV).

[@BB22Racing]

Thanks mate, I'm looking forward to getting the bike back on the dyno after the exhaust and the hord intake go on it. I'll be very interested to see what sort of power gains we get, there's also the Carbon Smith pod style that I'm looking at as a test as well, but that'll be further down the line.

[@Happy_Adam]

@@BB22Racing Will you use the Akropovic titanium exhaust? And does the silencer do anything to power, in or out?

[@BB22Racing]

@@Happy_Adam Yep, there's one on the way to us now. It's a long wait for parts sometimes though. I'll test with the baffle in and out on the dyno when I get it installed. I've seen on smaller bikes like the R3 that they make more power with the baffle in, so it'll be interesting to see the difference.

[@Walkeranz]

13% gain in hp is really good. With a pipe and a tune should be very nice

[@BB22Racing]

It's not too bad, but still underpowered at the moment! The new pipe is going to be in soon, so another trip to the dyno will be coming up!

[@ninjaarcades7356]

Would you be adding ram air to build would interesting see on r7 make it proper super twin

[@BB22Racing]

Some of the Twins Cup teams have developed a ram air system for their R7s, however with the engine/tank/intake set-up on the R7, it's a difficult (but not impossible) feat.

[@neiljarvis8911]

Aren't there diameter restrictors in the airbox to throttle body rubbers, I'm sure std uk bikes are making much more power than in your dyno test? than in

[@BB22Racing]

Yessir! In the Aussie Learner Approved Motorcycle Scheme (LAMS) model, there are a number of restrictions in place to keep it under around the 42-45hp mark, namely reduced bore to make it under the 660cc of the LAMS rules. Yes, it would be waaay better if Australia took up a system similar to the UK A2 system where it's all in the ECU, rather than loads of different mechanical changes.

[@Happy_Adam]

Very good instructions. If the plate is changes does that void insurance? Please add a note, if they cut the plate they will have to buy a new throttle assembly which will be $500+ so better buy a new plate and you can put it back if you need to.

[@burdazza2711]

depends on insurance cause half of them dont care as long as its legal mods tho most ppl wouldnt pick up on the small changes anyway

[@BB22Racing]

Thanks mate! I suppose it would depend on who your insurance company is and the cover you have. If you were a learner riding a modified bike then it would be illegal, so you could get yourself into some strife with the constabulary and your insurance if you were in an accident.

[@Emmasnail3356]

Where exactly do you mark is it the black Philips screws on the plate with blue paint or the ones on the throttle cable?

[@BB22Racing]

It was the threaded section of the throttle cables so that you have a general idea where they were set before you changed the throttle plate.

[@BEBE_RideZ]

Hey man would you recommend riding with the dna filter in without getting a dyno tune ? Obviously I will but was just curious if you can run it without any damage to engine

[@BB22Racing]

If you are only removing the snorkel and changing the filter, it will be pretty fine. If you change the lid out as well, with an exhaust, then you will start needing to map it.

[@BEBE_RideZ]

@@BB22Racing yeah sweet was just checking otherwise I was gonna chuck it now but I’ll wait until I book dyno a week before I throw the dna filter and lid

[@BEBE_RideZ]

@@BB22Racing at the moment derestricted plate, r6 throttle tube, sc projects cr-t exhaust on it you recommend doing anything else for good power before dyno?

[@googlelimp9834]

ok where is all these pats try adding them for people to see than

[@BB22Racing]

The throttle plates can be found on ebay, or from a Yamaha dealer, where you can also get the 'HO' intake runners. The aftermarket parts are fairly easily available, so best to google and see if your local stores may stock them 😊

[@silent_fluo6917]

So is this the same power output as a stock fullpower R7? 52hp seems so little?

[@BB22Racing]

It's a lot less than the full power R7. The 689 engine makes around 65rwhp stock as well as a lot more throughout the mid range.

[@silent_fluo6917]

@@BB22Racing Can a tune fix that? Or is a lamb version basically 'fucked' from the get go?

[@BB22Racing]

@@silent_fluo6917 by changing the throttle plate and intake runners you get to about 2-3hp less than the 689cc. Add an exhaust and a tune and you can get pretty close to 70hp. You'll always be down on power from the 689cc with the same mods, but it's still a good bike.

[@helium269c2]

the hord power air intake, does the mt07 also work with the r7? Im assuming so since you used it, and is it a similar install?

[@BB22Racing]

Yes and no. It will fit onto the TBs without any problem, but the mount isn't designed for the R7 so you need to do a little bit of bending and stretching to get it to work correctly.

[@markanthonybaldovino9945]

Hey mate , where in sydney can i buy the hord power air box replacement for the r7 Cheers

[@BB22Racing]

Unfortunately you can't, I had mine shipped out from the US. There are a few businesses in Australia that do similar sorts of things with pod filters, but they don't have the same velocity stacks

[@IN_ZANE_]

theres a new yoshimura airbox that looks mad

[@jamesbanks5016]

Are the throttle plates for the mt07 & R7 the same? Can only find MT07 ones everywhere

[@BB22Racing]

Yep, they should be the same. But I can find them on ebay by searching R7 throttle plate.

[@lucehwv1400]

do you need to get dyno tune after doing the air filter, exhaust and throttle plate?

[@BB22Racing]

It is certainly best to, yes!

[@micdonthedon2]

Hello, I have a restricted R7 35kw but European version, are these restrictions the same as on the European version ?

[@BB22Racing]

I'm unsure. If you check the throttle plate you'd be able to see if it's similar to Australia. That might be one piece of the puzzle.

[@brujohnkb24]

Link for derestricting plate?

[@BB22Racing]

We jumped on Ebay and searched for MT07 throttle de-restrictor plate

[@toyboxlemonza3293]

My LA has a full stage 3 kit. Makes more than a stock HO at 74hp. Delete the air box completely, it's not very well designed.

[@Tamarua2]

Hey bro, I'm about to do the same. Did you go through Dynobike in Melbourne?

[@toyboxlemonza3293]

@@Tamarua2 I did bro.

[@BB22Racing]

Interesting! I'd like to see yours dynoed and a HO dynoed on the same day and dyno, just to get baselines between the two!

[@MrHardbodies]

this is a good video mate! you need more subscribers.

[@BB22Racing]

Cheers mate, hopefully I can get some more R7 stuff going soon and we'll see what happens!

[@endurogamer2756]

do you have to tune your bike if you change your air filter to DNA filter and your exhaust to a akrapovič?

[@BB22Racing]

To get the best out of it, yes. We should have a video in the next few weeks with some more info about running the intake and exhaust.

[@endurogamer2756]

@@BB22Racing aha ok ty fot letting me know but i shuld be ok if i just do a exshaust and remove the snorkle right?

[@mikeskidmore6754]

Stock the throttle travel is way too much ..

[@BB22Racing]

The LAMS model stock throttle is short because it is restricted. Putting the standard 'HO' (689cc) model throttle plate can open up a bunch more performance over the LAMS. That said, if you want a quicker action throttle, the R6 tube mod is a small improvement, but best improvements will come from a proper quick action throttle, like the Rev3 we run on the SVs.

[@mikeskidmore6754]

@@BB22Racing I looked for one from Motion Pro a couple of years ago and seems they were mostly for dirt bikes.

[@AWA369]

Will it cause any damage to the engine if I only derestrict the throttle plate but keep everything stock without a flash or tune on my r7? Cheers

[@BB22Racing]

If you're just swapping to the different throttle plate, it won't damage your engine. However, the 'gain' made by this won't be all that much without remapping the ecu to fuel at those throttle percentages
