Rebuilding A Wrecked 2023 Yamaha R7!!

[@HAVOK_SNM]

What is no one going to mention the Ferrari on the trailer? 😮

[@xAbhimanew]

guess benjamin has it?

[@SentenzaSenpai]

Nice teasing in this video with what’s inside your garage. A nice Ferrari California.

[@domenstiftar7]

The edit, the music,... everything is such perfection

[@CJMediaOfficial]

Thank you🫶🫶🫶

[@mickleblade]

Those side tank covers are saving you a serious bill, a new tank is bonkers money

[@CJMediaOfficial]

From what I’m seeing it’s only like 250 USD, which compared to the MV prices I’m drowning in recently… is insanely cheap

[@hondarider1982]

15:58 love that the older music comes into frame here from your earlier videos. You have no idea how happy and nostalgic this made me watching over in the UK 😊

[@CJMediaOfficial]

Super happy to hear, I love the nostalgic jams 😁😁

[@sh60guy25]

That fork leak is from the crush washer on the damper rod bolt. Same bolt you mentioned way up inside the fork head. My CBR929 has a leak in the same spot Sometimes you can fix it without taking the fork apart. Most of the time you have to take the fork all the way down so you can hold the damper rod while torquing that bottom bolt.

[@IAnolastname]

I'd say it's worth tearing down and checking the seals, because a hit hard enough to split the rim like that is so far beyond what an R7's suspension is built to withstand that it's amazing they didn't blow everything else in the process.

[@ricardotolosa2671]

Hi CJ, I think you´re gonna love this bike. I used to have a MT07 back in 2016/17, it´s just perfect for comuting in big cities. Not that great on roads though. Torquey, short gears, pretty light. I´m 5'7" 148Lb..........perfect match. Oh ...I have a kawasaki zx6r now.

[@rudrakshdilliwal1804]

Damn .... That's fire bro

[@dieterich6533]

I like the ZX6r better

Boa tarde ruivinho vamos curtir o vídeo aqui em Belém do Pará!

[@torr-michaelbennetta9785]

You'll enjoy this build, CJ. I had an R7 before my two Ducati's I own now, was a fun bike. Yamaha builds a solid product.

[@yomamaa13]

Its a boring ass bike cmon newb.

[@CJMediaOfficial]

Great to hear mate! Any recommendations for me since you’ve own a R7? Cheers PS: man a Yamaha then 2 ducatis… I feel your pain 😂

[@taothao7622]

Can you address the elephant in the room? The Ferrari on the trailer? That would be a sick rebuild.

[@burizaemogaming]

From CBR and I'm here on your R7 good chill vibes mate!

[@CJMediaOfficial]

Appreciate that mate 👊

[@Wolfmots]

Back in the early 90's I rode a friends Yam 600. I was used to riding Hurricanes and Gxrs and was a good rider. He had this 600 that I had never rode and wanted to get a feel for it since I was a big fan of Kenny Roberts Sr. He didn't have a helmet for me and since it was a chance ride I didn't bring one. Anyway I jumped on and took it for a big loop around the area. Got into 1st gear and was shocked at how little power it had, strange? Popped it into 2nd and gave it the beans. I sat there and waited, and waited for the power to come in, nothing. Right around 8k rpm all the power came in, and then some. I was probably doing about 60 down a 4 lane road, no helmet, when suddenly I was being drug off of the back of the bike. As I was trying to hold on with all of that power like a tidal wave the front wheel came off the ground. I was now doing a wheelie down a 4 lane road dangling off the back of the bike at full song, no helmet, soiling myself and trying desperately to uncoil my right hand from the throttle without letting go of the bike. I saw my life flash before my eyes, Jesus, and the beginning of time all at once. I somehow managed to uncork my throttle hand right at about 15k rpm. I turned the bike around right there and gave it back to him. As I pulled in my friend started laughing because he could see the look on my face. Nope, never again. I hear the new Yamies have fixed that issue and are now exceptional bikes, however, I'll stick to my big ole HD ultra limited. It doesn't do wheelies.

[@Godstemplle]

U alive yesssss

[@yhanzjcat3332]

man! yamaha bikes are so amazing! i love them all!

[@toenada1028]

CJ Mediaさんの技術力には毎度驚かされます。日本ではここまで損傷したバイクは廃棄される事が多いです。また最新のバイクは修理に手間が掛かることからバイク店で修理するのが一般的ですが個人で修理するというのは凄い事だと思います。このR7もきっと綺麗に蘇ることでしょう。日本🇯🇵の視聴者より

[@mala7794]

my old 2014 yamaha xj6 came with 3 spanners, some wire, two braker bars, a shock adjuster, and a few unbrako bits. my current bike 2023 tuono 660 factory came with: 1 unbrako key

[@ridhaluka6975]

My friend you are always new you are amazing.🎉

[@HrdStL11]

Nice, R7. This rebuild will be interesting for sure.

[@CJMediaOfficial]

Its such a fascinating bike!

[@kleemanjad]

CRJ7 or CJR7 🎉

[@Haymassao]

Thank you man!

[@jimzerner5229]

Need to add Yamaha Yellow Black and white Plastics ! Like the old School Yamaha Race Bikes! Good Luck on this R7

[@snake_bitten]

Highly recommended full exhaust, ECU flash from 2WDW, delete the snorkel on the airbox, factory quick shifter, and R6 throttle tube. Really makes the bike a ton more fun for not a lot of money.

[@yomamaa13]

No matter what you do to a R7 it still sucks. and what you just described is a waste of time. Better spent on a proper liter bike. Probably the dumbest thing Yamaha has put out so far. So underpowered and underwhelming.

[@snake_bitten]

@@yomamaa13 I’m sorry to hear you feel personally attacked and insecure about the R7s existence. I’ll be praying for you 😢🙏🏼

[@andyrips834]

​@@yomamaa13I heard she said that about you

[@m1ck37]

Black looks good 😊

[@bridgettdixon6807]

CJ i could watch you work all day. 😊

[@CJMediaOfficial]

😂 I appreciate that, I get so bored watching myself ☠️

[@geezuss1114]

I love my 10' zx10 gas tank. A real tank

[@juaniquiroga8877]

If you want a huge upgrade, order. Throttle tube (grip) from an R6. It makes a world of difference.

[@CJMediaOfficial]

Very interesting Juan! Is the throttle a smaller turn radius?

[@juaniquiroga8877]

@@CJMediaOfficial yes, it will feel a lot more direct. The R6 one has a more aggressive acceleration curve since those engines had to rev higher to reach their powerband. So changing that grip/throttle tube wakes up the bike quite a bit. If you have any R7 questions I’d be more than happy to help. I’ve had 2 so far. The first one unfortunately got stolen and then I got a replacement one.

[@shankaranarayanan3384]

RIP to your carbon r1m brother.. 😢💐I loved that bike and how good you made it

[@CJMediaOfficial]

Thank you sir! I really liked that bike but im sure we will get another one soon some day!

[@kelvincardona2397]

Those bolts under the forks have a o ring or washer my 05 r6 was leaking from there I was lucky they where loose once I tightened them no more leaks but maybe the impact from the accident might of mess them up. I would take the forks off like you did in previous videos to see if the forks are bent

[@damionvanleusden1329]

Yesssss a r7🎉🎉🎉

[@seanylewl]

Looking forward to the build. Good to see a bike that's not completely destroyed or has major structural damage! Also, how is the van coming along? Give us more VAN!

[@CJMediaOfficial]

😂 Sean, I couldn’t agree with you more. Man having a bike that seems somewhat repairable Is a breath of fresh air! The van I ended up Rebuidling the engine twice and neither time fixed the misfire no start issue so I have a shop finishing up the engine before I waste any more time on it , ya win some you lose some ig

[@ADNS_Moto]

Excited to see this one 🏍️💨

[@MpFz14508]

Story behind.... someone thought a 700 would be the perfect starter bike... Best starter bike is a 125...even that's to much for some people......stay intelligent out there.

[@mickleblade]

Aye, but it's probably a better idea that a Fireblade

[@MrHarry440]

A 700 is a great start bike. If you arent a complete idiot!

[@MpFz14508]

@@MrHarry440 I suppose your right considering they only put about 30 horses in them....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍

[@jeissonrangel1588]

Actual good advice I was gonna go for a 250cc and I’m happy I didn’t had the money that time 😅 125 was more than enough for my first bike going at 110kmh

[@shankaranarayanan3384]

Exactly i think starting off with a single or 2 cylinder bike is fine. Learning to handle the power ans torque is important nah

[@sujanrai4457]

What's the update about MV agusta?

[@iroyanalfi8761]

i need more Brutaleeeee......

[@CJMediaOfficial]

I know 😆 tell that to Italy for me please

I bought a new wrecked R7 and put it together, I put together a lot of big bikes and drove it, the R7 was very easy to drive, it fell to the right while I was driving and broke my leg, I had surgery and I am lying at home in pain, these R7s are in a lot of accidents, it looks easy to drive but I don't think it is,be carefull drive (im wheelie crash)

[@MumenNightRider]

1290 super duke next please, love the videos keep up the good work! 🤙🏽

[@LukeKolarsky]

The forks on my Duke had bolts in the same place. They kept the damper and spring assembly in place. It could definitely be leaking from there.

[@CJMediaOfficial]

Good to know Luke! Thank you for that information!

[@jimamizzi1]

CJ, it’s time for an update on all the bikes you have & what’s been sold, would make a an interesting video
