How To Change Your Spark Plugs on Your YAMAHA MT07 | 2021+

[@mikasihite5346]

Thx so much. Tip for newbies like myself : get a magnetic socket for the spark plugs, organize your bolts and don’t over torque the bolts.

[@K974C]

Thanks a lot for the detailed video. I did get the coils out with a small rope loop around their connector pulling from the top with one hand and the other doing small rotations from the side.

[@arthurfoyt6727]

Thank you. Good video. Never knew that a "naked bike" would be harder to do maintenance on than my fared FJR. This is INSANE just to do a plug & filter change.

[@seriouszarius]

You are are a life saver, at 6800 miles right now and was dreading this but this looks easy compared to other things.

[@BradTheBuilderChannel]

Thats the whole idea! I’m glad it’s helping people out. Thanks for checking out the channel and commenting

[@relevation0]

Looks like a pain in the ass lol

[@gaswerx6247]

Anyone who is having a HARDTIME REMOVING the COIL PACK, I used a long nose hose plier (the ones with the clamp angled). Since the clamp is angled, it would roughly be horizontal with the coil as it clamps on the neck while the handle of the plier will be angled upward and out, I placed another tool like a screwdriver to provide the fulcrum, and press down on the handle, raising the clamp upwards. That did the trick for leverage that my hand couldn't provide. It doesn't damage the coil pack either (just don't squeeze the clamp hard).

[@MrFoxfire510]

For a naked bike, it sure does have a lot of fairings. Nice video

[@birddogz545]

Great video B-rad, I'm going to be replacing my plugs soon and your video helps a ton with the process.

[@ac2-rm141]

Thank you for this. Learned a lot watching you disassemble the various pieces.

[@BradTheBuilderChannel]

Your welcome! Thanks for commenting

[@mtmatt8958]

Not easy or simple, many things can go wrong attempting this. You really know your stuff to be able to do this 👌

[@lamborghini231]

Same engine from 15-22 so anyone looking for under 2020 years besides the fairing removal it’s the same steps for 15-18 fz07

[@Ifeelgreyt1738]

thanks man!

[@Mista_MT07]

I love your videos B-Raaaad!! I to have a 21 MT-07 so this really helps. Thank you and keep up the good work

[@TheLastUchiha337]

Great video! Just got myself a 22 Mt07, so this was helpful. Got yourself a new sub! 👍🏍️

[@kevinhumphrey4072]

You can remove the tank without draining it? I had no clue. Well time to start doing way more of my own maintenance.

[@Baqu84]

Thanks B-rad. Awesome video with detailed information - appreciate it

[@TypicalMT]

Bro, seriously good instructional video. Doing my spark plugs today! Can you do a valve adjustment video for that bike next!?🙏🏽💜

[@BradTheBuilderChannel]

Valve adjustment is to be done around 22k miles. I will when I get closer to that mileage

[@BradTheBuilderChannel]

Thanks for the hype too! I appreciate it man

[@TypicalMT]

Lol I just changed my spark plugs at 30k😬😬😬

[@BradTheBuilderChannel]

@@TypicalMT yikes haha they’re replaced now that’s what matters

[@harshadborgaonkar4539]

Great video. That’s a lot of bolts and clips to remove

[@BradTheBuilderChannel]

Yeah it’s not great but doable for someone at home. Thanks for the comment!

[@robwessels6899]

Thank you so much for this video. It helped me change the plugs on my on 2021 MT07. Could Yamaha have made the working space for the plug packs just a little bigger? Sheesh 😅lol my bear paws barely fit

[@BradTheBuilderChannel]

You got it brotha! It’s definitely a tight fit haha. Thanks for visiting the channel

[@ImNotADeeJay]

given the fact replacing those is a major pain in the arse... hoy many miles can I do before replacing them? thanks.

[@BradTheBuilderChannel]

You could go thousands of miles but the manual recommends every 8000 miles to maintain proper performance and fuel consumption.

[@mullenli]

Wonder if you can show me how to lower my idle rpm in mt07 . Thanks

[@justins7363]

good vid. quick question what is the mile recommendation for the plug swap?

[@BradTheBuilderChannel]

Great question. I should have included that in the video but it’s to be checked every 4000 miles and to be replaced every 8000miles

[@BriceTooNice]

That coil pack is in there fucking tight

[@skatebass19581958]

Can you make a video on Throttle Body Synchronization using the correct tools?

[@BradTheBuilderChannel]

I do have the proper vacuum gauges to do that procedure. I’ll add that one to the list. Thanks for commenting more ideas

[@skatebass19581958]

@@BradTheBuilderChannel Nice!! Thanks. Keep it up!!!

[@mendezpruna6995]

Awesome vid👌🏽👍🏽💯 I have a question I have a '22 Yamaha mt 07 with 2200-miles at times once in a blue moon it kinda takes a moment to start up, what do you think that is?

[@BradTheBuilderChannel]

I’m willing to bet that it’s your starting procedure. Before you put your key in to start the bike make sure the kill switch is in the on position. Then put your key in and turn it to the on position. You will hear the fuel pump prime in the tank. If your kill switch is in the off position and you turn your key to on it won’t prime the fuel pump long enough for it to fill up properly. Lack of fuel pressure causes it to take longer to start. I’ve had the same issue and it was resolved when I followed this procedure

[@TBDubbs]

How often are people changing the plugs out? Mine is an '18, but not many miles yet. I'm wondering if between changing the tune/exhaust/air filter, maybe I should check them?

[@BradTheBuilderChannel]

It’s definitely not a bad idea to check them and re gap if necessary. They are to be checked every 4000 miles and replaced every 8000 per instruction from the service manual. If you check any of those boxes go ahead and check them out. Hope this helps! Peace!

[@SavageRoosterOnThaLooster]

Did you say what plugs the are?

[@sborgum]

My workshop changed my spark plugs at 10k last year.. feeled like scam bc yamaha manual says just at 20k. I have a MT07 2021. But it was propaply due who knows haha. Next time I will do it by myself.

[@skatebass19581958]

So no need to drain the fuel out? Good to know!!

[@BradTheBuilderChannel]

Nope I though you had to in a past video but you do not. There will be some residual fuel on the black line but you won’t have fuel pouring out of the tank. Thanks for commenting!

[@j_gleck1310]

Bike isnt started. went to check spark plugs, but when i pulled fuel like off, it was slowly spewing gas, could that be the reason its not starting

[@BradTheBuilderChannel]

That or your fuel pump isn’t or wasn’t engaging

[@mitchelbaker6137]

Is it normal for the oil to come out sparkly/ copper colour?

[@BradTheBuilderChannel]

Is it the first oil change?

[@mitchelbaker6137]

@@BradTheBuilderChannel it isn’t no. It’s done 11800miles and apparently last serviced at 8000

[@BradTheBuilderChannel]

@@mitchelbaker6137 it’s normal to have a very small amount of shavings from inside the transmission to come out during an oil change. The shavings settle to the bottom of the oil pan and will come out when you drain the oil. If it’s consistent throughout the draining process and is more of a paste than liquid then you have something that’s wearing prematurely in your transmission. If your not sure if the previous owner changed it or not it could also be that they didn’t change it for a long time resulting in more shavings than usual.

[@mitchelbaker6137]

@@BradTheBuilderChannel the oil was still oil like just very shiny. Really appreciate your help

[@BradTheBuilderChannel]

Another thing too is the MT is a wet clutch so if your doing lots of wheelies or someone before you was, it would deposit a high amount of clutch pad into the oil resulting in more particles in the oil. Change the oil filter often too. I personally don’t skip every other. I do it every time

[@7xvnsxnz]

How do you separate the under the tank cover to replace it with carbon

[@BradTheBuilderChannel]

I’m not quite sure what you mean by under the tank cover?

[@7xvnsxnz]

@@BradTheBuilderChannel it’s the black textured plastic underneath the stink cover you removed

[@7xvnsxnz]

@@BradTheBuilderChannel 2:35 the piece you’re unbolting here. How do I separate that from the tank cover itself (in your case the grey piece)

[@BradTheBuilderChannel]

@@7xvnsxnz ah okay I see now. It’s clipped and I believe there isn’t any actual hardware holding it in. If you look up the piece on say eBay. You can see all the locking tabs. It’s a matter of pulling the sides off then using a plastics pry tool to pry each locking tab out.

[@rockintigger]

I do wonder sometimes why you have to dismantle half the bike just to change the plugs. On my Enfield I take out two plugs an put back two plugs, job done.. less the five minutes

[@rd3wo]

You can reach them from the side if you have smaller hands. Don't need to remove tank.

[@iefie]

Nice thanks! That's not really an easy job. (For me that is)

[@BradTheBuilderChannel]

Yes it’s involved but it will save you a lot of money versus bringing it in. If you do plan on changing them. Take your time and don’t rush through it. You got this!

[@MT-Joe7]

My coil packs are so freaking tight there no way I can just gently pull them out…..

[@BradTheBuilderChannel]

Turn them back and forth while pulling out. They get pretty snug I understand. Try to avoid using tools to avoid damage to the coil packs.
