FZ-07 Progress Report

[@DorkintheRoad]

Not "the old FZ-07," it's "the ol' FZ-07." Totally different. Damn that thing sounds awesome.

[@rupertjames4455]

I heard Motonosity needs some help over at his place. He bolted on every aftermarket part he could find and now it wont run. He is about 8000 dollars into a 2500 dollar scooter. Please teach him how to use a multi-meter and finish the project.

[@Yamahamian]

anyone else feel like the real Jake is back? enjoying the shit out of the series

[@TheGardenSnake]

+Yamahamian Motovlogs Thanks bro

[@rushdrift]

here some idea on the next bolt shit on series: 1: ohlins monoshock 2: ohlins usd fork 3: custom bellypan 4: led headlamp conversion 5: tinting a headlamp if its legal 6: fluorescent rim sticker 7: making your bike safer from being stolen

[@bradymoore1943]

RushDark *tinting the headlamp no matter what the law says because it's sick af

[@cronos222]

I've been riding since the early 90's and have had several Two Bros systems on various bikes and they've always been the best !

[@HeroRR]

Hey Jake, for the record I want to say that I think your bike looks and sounds great. Talk is just talk, joking around etc. We all do it, but at the end of the day you still have a really cool bike that you've changed up for the better.

[@cameron6783]

You were really spot on about the whole exhaust thing with people hearing stuff and trying to say it as a fact.

[@GrumpyGarry121]

You where baffled about the exhaust, anyone catch that

[@__Leon__]

yhea underrated pun is underrated

[@MrAlexjames94]

was literally just going to say this haha

[@bootsmanaa]

Leon cinemasins much bruh?!

[@C_David]

Just gonna type that too... lol 😂

[@MERTELTURTLE24]

As long as i have known, two bros has been more top of the line rather than bottom of the line. Ive loved every two brothers exhaust ive ever heard on many bikes from dirtbikes to supermotos to liter bikes. I think people are crazy is what it is

[@ByV2Clan]

"i didnt record putting on the windshield" yes you did

[@TheGardenSnake]

lol I did but I didnt make a whole video on it

[@ByV2Clan]

Yeah

[@aidanfactory310]

Bought my tail light, fender eliminator, restrictor , and mini fly because of you. Thank you for the BSOS Jake, keep it up!

[@TheGardenSnake]

+Aidan Factory hell yeah dude

[@stevenbritt7792]

I keep watching all of the FZ-07 videos and it just makes me want to buy one even more. Jake is the man

[@SlingingLead]

I am loving the BSOS. I want a Yamaha XSR 700 in the worst way. It is built on the same spec as the FZ07 so these reviews are gold to me. You're the man Jake, keep up the good work.

[@Troyz911]

Jake I definitely enjoy your build projects more than any others going on. Keep up the knowledge!

[@JohnnyG87]

I'm gonna turn a wrench this makes me a customizeeeeeeerrrrrrrrr

[@cruzinmoto]

as a owner of the same fz07 and I have mine all modded to I agree the upgrades did make the bike a bit more meatier.. it really likes to pop the front wheel up more easily then when it was stock. I'm glad I upgraded stuff on it. great video jake

[@DEICHKIND97]

CruzinMoto what did you modified? For example to get the front wheel easier in the air?

[@williamsprout925]

How did you MPG change after all the mods?

[@Tenaciousdomi]

this series is perfect, I can't wait to pick up my FZ07!

[@greatkingrat]

I love the colour combos. The striking wheels matched to the single decal with the rest of it being "background colours". Looks great!

[@gronith]

I'd love to see a cost breakdown when you're done

[@slickf00t]

Not sure what the negative comments are about either. Looks great, sounds great, you're happy, I'm happy. Sound like a win-win to me. Nice job Jake!

[@graydation]

I just ordered my Akrapovic titanium exhaust and the DNA filter as well as the FT Tune kit. The exhaust came in yesterday and I am waiting for the other two to come in to do everything all at once. I also ordered the T-Rex complete kit and a corbin seat... I have lots of goodies on the way!

[@trantem]

That bike matches you so well. Hope to see the fz evolve over the next year.

[@JustJesseOfficial]

Really digging the progress report. Hope to see another after your done with the last few upgrades.

[@POOShaun]

Hey bro I'm from New zealand, I have been following you from the start of your build. Loving the work. I have owned one for about a year and a half and have been trying to do the same mods. the bike is great and so much fun. keep up the good work bro.

[@SixthGearMotorcycles]

Jake, I've been watching you for years. Love your stuff man. I think what you have done is worth it, the bike sounds and looks awesome. Great work, keep it up! :)

[@davidhawk19]

this bsos is actually really cool imo. You actually know what your doing with a wrench, and I've enjoyed it. Don't normally watch this channel but it gets a 👍

[@churnobley]

Hey Jake, been watching for a few years now.. gotta say the content on this vid seemed different, next level.. I felt more engaged than usual. I cant really put my finger on why.. a combination of a lot of things but the honesty was big. Seems like you're making some really positive changes to the channel, keep it up man! cheers.

[@thepioneer6178]

yea they proly didn't like the two brothers exhaust because a motovlogger, I forgot who, was bashing on them because he thought they sounded too loud, smh. Nice bike man, can't wait to see what you do next.

[@biologicalleh7850]

The Pioneer herorr said it and I have to agree the carbon fibre looks cheesy as fuck to me and I like quieter bikes cause I'm weird

[@deathactual1745]

HERORR I think

[@Shimmoda]

He made that video before jake installed it

[@cstephenson9223]

The Muscle Biker haha yeah! I like the two bros s1r on my 2014 Honda interceptor 800! Sounds awesome with the v4 engine on my bike, especially at redline with the quickshifter😉👍🏻

[@Death666wish]

No I don't like them because I've seen a blown one on the Hyosung forum, not to mention they look ugly and they make the same look for almost all bikes.

[@Mordalith]

Buying an FZ-07 this month, and moving up to Denton by August. It's gonna be a good year!

[@schalklet]

Jake idc what anyone else says but i like all the changes to the bike and its your bike you do what you want to it dont listen to the people that are getting mad its ur bike do what you want👍🏼

[@TimKreitzAdventures]

Customizaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

[@Twistead96]

I love two brothers! GIves my f4i such a throaty muscle car sound.

[@filthyhooligan1370]

Hey Jake, I have an idea for your next project. Its called the "Fuck Shit Up Series" where you take a gay scooter and spend 8 grand on it and at the end it doesn't even start. Oh wait its been done.

[@JB243bikes]

Filthy Hooligan Damn 😂😂😂

[@mal3762]

#roasted

[@BeanonPCBeahn]

Filthy Hooligan Motonosity *cough *cough

[@teamcs2741]

Lmao.. damn.

[@nathancamilleri5587]

Savage😂😂

[@wiseafter]

Well for me, both the intro and the Two Brothers exhaust sound spectacular! Intro actually gets stuck in my head sometimes, well done on the hook front, bam!

[@josephmorris6090]

I can't get over how good that sounds holy shit.

[@phillippayne8170]

I'm new to new bikes I've only had two bikes a 67 BSA and a BMW F650GS and I do love them but I've been droooooling over the MT07 now for weeks trying to buy one cash but its taking a long time here in OZ we have 650 version for learners I love the mods you've done to yours keep the vids coming mate and soon ill get one for myself......kind regards Phil from OZ

[@600days]

I've really enjoyed this series Jake. Especially like the handlebar mod.

[@DJTheGX]

I really like the Woodcraft Clip-ons & Rear Sets for the FZ-07.

[@northofknowhere130]

Good video and series! It does come down to what the purpose of the bike is and what the rider wants. Even a 300 could be slightly modded enough to be pretty snappy in the twisties.

[@ladairrepair]

@jake TheGardenSnake, I put a Traxton Dynamics fork kit on my bike. Decent price and truly made the bike handle like a completely different vehicle. I know you just commented in your vid about people saying that, but I guess I didn't realize how bad the front suspension was until after the mod.

[@TheGardenSnake]

+Tubewatcher I saw that kit they make. Looks like a good investment. Did you do a rear shock?

[@ladairrepair]

I did not do the rear shock as I'm 150 lbs and really have had no immediate need for an upgraded shock. The squirrely nature of the bike while hitting bumps in a leaning turn was retarded by about 80% with the upgrade to the front shocks. I will eventually get the rear once I've saved up the ridiculous $600.00 +dollars for a single damn shock lol.

[@Wow9552]

I love this series, Jake. You're awesome at the how-to type of video, I hope you continue making them.

[@amccown0002]

haha I lost it when you said you were "baffled" by the hate comments about TwoBros exhaust. Great pun Sir!

[@BeantownHooligan]

Great video Jake, you should keep these going with all your bikes. It's nice to see how someone who knows what the fuck they are doing actually maintains their bikes.

[@AccidentalBroadcast]

Oh crap! I forgot to send you sumn sumn! PS: Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake!

[@maxj9204]

AccidentalBroadcast so you are alive.. where are the videos man??

[@mattschweitzer4358]

bro he won't reply to any comments asking where the viddys at, pretty much a dead account now but he might come back with athena 2.0.... hopefully.

[@SilverHunterIsHunted]

putting the TRex kit on my bike tomorrow. looks like good stuff. I wish I had the mechanical know how to properly so better brake lines and do that handlebar washer mod. I can really feel the wiggle in the stem.

[@jeffb7725]

Jake, just a heads up on brake pads. The calipers on our FZ-07s are IDENTICAL to the early R1s through 2003. FZs have limited pad options for w/e reason but theres a ton of shit available for those R1s. Yamaha allegedly put soft pads on the bike stock to try and keep nosedive to a minimum.

[@SGgames1000]

dyno it jake! DO IT! DONT LET YOUR DREAMS BE DREAMS!

[@moshpitcircles6345]

I had a Two Brothers Carbon Fiber exhaust on my CBR and I loved it.

[@bobberfet3648]

looks really good man and i have had that song stuck in my head for the past week now

[@mystikflight]

Pretty good to what you've done on your bike. Remember if you like that's all that matters.

[@rex4x4]

Great series man .... Keep em coming

[@yajnaamakusa8786]

I don't know about your other mods, but I know for sure that your handlebars are a great improvement. The closer you can get to dead straight, flat, drag bars, the better (for reasons I've fully explained in my video on the subject).

[@JustinRoyal]

Bike is lookin so good bro. Sounding bad ass too. I want one.

[@sixpest]

I swear I just come for the intro its too funny.

[@KnightRiderWRX]

I put a dual two bro's exhaust on my 07 v-strom and it sounds like a beast! I love it! But haters always gotta hate.

[@Broito]

Jake, donate another $0.003 to Fireguy for me.

[@doinks_inam1sh]

Lol, Jake's a certified mechanic. He's had his hands on a lot of tips ;)

[@T3AMstudios]

I have seen 2 pictures of twobros exhaust where the end cap has blown off. although all brands generally have a hiccup here or there.

[@eBirdHD]

I can't get the "Bolt shit on series" intro song out of my head. Love it.

[@christopherishac2495]

I can't get over how freaking funny this man is😂

[@JD-ns9mr]

More motard vids please 😬 love the fz07 too though.

[@TheGardenSnake]

I just rode the piss out of the wr450 so vids soon

[@mannydcbianco]

Jake TheGardenSnake Hey Jake, have you decided if you wanna keep the wr a dual sport or turn it back into a sumo again? With the fz you might not even need a sumo for your hooligan on.

[@lilsquid5405]

doesn't the wr shoot flames??? can u make the fz07 shoot flames???

[@joshshank3449]

I wish two brothers still made the same model exhaust for my yz250f it sounds great just cant get an end cap for it since it was discontinued but always been great. just some scratches on the cap.

[@johnaustin6649]

You need to get Yamaha to make a "Jake the Garden Snake" limited edition MT-07.

[@TheGardenSnake]

+John Austin 🤞🏼

[@Cleanin83]

I would love to see a video of a fork cartridge change... been thinking about trying to tackle one on my bike.

[@MrDjcamo29]

Dude getting smacked in the face with the back end of a motorcycle made it worth hearing Jake the garden snake is a motorcycle customizer

[@896CBR]

Vesrah RJL pads and suspension mods next, but any chance you would be up for a more involved series of vids? measure squish, valve clearance, and compression, mill the cylinders to bump compression and tune cam lobe centers, that kinda thing with dyno tuning before and after?

[@trevorshaw689]

I love my two bros, the back fire is beautiful!!!!

[@pinoyrider4970]

I like your FZ-07. Hope someday I'll own one. I'm a new rider.

[@Bulletstop75]

I just wish Two Brothers made a kit for a 90's BMW F650. Thing would be siiiick.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Nice looking machine sir and some nice looking mods - loving what you've done with that...must check out one of those "Effzee" 07's at some point (here in Blighty they're "Empty" 07.s of course).....

[@islerenner]

Love this series. Excellent video Jake thanks.

[@Cutaboveyardworks]

I have an FZ- 07 with 2 bros and it's awesome. You should get the Eco teck rad guard tho.

[@BulvaiHammersson]

I say very, very similar things about my versys 650. Not surprising as they're very similar bikes. And it makes me right happy. No serious mods yet. I figure I'll do it when I start to get bored with it or something. And, oddly enough, Two Brothers exhaust is at the top of my list for mods planned.

[@camaross92]

I've always liked two Bros. had one on a klx110 and it was good on that. friends sport bike and quads. never had issues.

[@Motonion]

Loving that bike so far. Looks great

[@captaintom9521]

I bolted a Two Bros on my FZ07, and it sounds Nasty. Tuner and Airbox next

[@B1ayden]

*talking about the exhaust* "im baffled by it" top pun jake haha

[@FrankieLMusic]

Love what you've done to it! Your vids are helping me out with my fz07!

[@uknowwho214]

Wish i had a bike to work on and make progress. Gonna buy a beater 250 to practice on then work my way to a gsxr. You're bold on series was amazing. Gonna take the motorcycle mechanic trade at cedar valley this fall too.

[@Osprey1994]

Two brothers isn't an exhaust I would recommend. I didn't hear it off a forum it was during a discussion with people in the field of building exhausts.

[@danm8akadaneil97]

Any bike you have fun on is worth it! If a loud exhaust make you have more fun (which it fucking does) then yes it's worth it. Keep doing what your doing jake

[@ThatDrummerBen]

Progress report it goes BRAAAP

[@mooiboyace]

I really like that Speed & Strenght helmet. It matches the bike too !

[@thealvaco]

Damn Jake, that exhaust sound is soo good. That braap, that braaaaaaap! Gotta love that braaap.

[@jackwhite8157]

That little bike looks so fun! Makes me want one. 😎

[@corni101]

Great vid Jake , keep it up im anxious to see whats gonna be slap on next that baby!!!!!

[@joebobbyrobot]

this bsos is getting me all excited for spring to get her to I can do the bar swap on my bike. this really helps me get through these bullshit Ohio winters.

[@danield3762]

your bike is coming along nicely

[@rogerthiessen2349]

Bike suits you well Jake! Great series overall!

[@mikesmeltz8400]

Had that same "windscreen." Hated it, took it off quick

[@spacecats7832]

Hey, wanted to start riding but am torn between what bike I should get...The speed of a sports bike seems appealing but prices plus insurance seems a lot, on the other hand the versatility and nimbleness of the dual sport seems so nice!

[@coltonjohnson1617]

The only reason people don't like two bros because it's so loud it can get annoying but it is an amazing exhaust as is btw I love the videos Jake keep up the good work

[@TheGardenSnake]

+Colton Johnson lol people think it's too loud? The yosh is louder and so are half the other pipes I've heard for the fz07.

[@Mrfish2015]

Looking sweet mate

[@XPsychowaffleX]

You gonna go heavier on the fork springs? That would probably take the sponginess out of it. I know the FZ-09 needed a front upgrade with the previous gen. the new ones are supposed to have fixed it

[@jeremygriego6537]

I love how honest you are about shit there is no drama or bullshit involved it makes me enjoy your videos because what you put out there is real and not all this fake crap 💩Keep it up 💯

[@TheGardenSnake]

+Jeremy Griego thanks dude

[@rocketsurgeon2141]

That fucking exhaust blows! That's why I've ordered the full kit for my CBR.😋

[@rocketsurgeon2141]

Oh; and, something about a note squad; and , the numerical order placement of this comment.

[@motojohn6305]

All exhausts blow. That's their job.

[@Perumet]

I really like when you talk a little bit more technical! really gets me going :)

[@sldnx500]

I kind of want one of these over my fz8 purely for the sound it makes.

[@cottagecheesecathy2472]

Love the videos Jake! I'm in the market for another bike and I am stuck between the MT-09, DRZ400sm, and the DR650. I will be mainly on road. Also, does the MT-07 have touring capability?

[@tsb2011]

Keep up the great work. I loved my Two Bros on my street triple. Love u
