What potential buyer should know about the FZ-07’s biggest weakness?
10 January 2025 08:15
I'd say the mirrors. With all the vibration, they're practically useless at highway speeds. Almost a necessity are bar end mirrors.

Absolutely! But the FZ-07 is a perfect beginner bike. It's nimble, it's light and the power is totally manageable if you're not an idiot with the throttle.

No way, man. That’s way too much bike for a newbie. Begin on a 300 or 400 and increase from there. It will make you a better rider.

It depends on the person. It's fine if you can control yourself and are mature. If you're young and cocky, you're asking for trouble.

I began on an FZ-07 and I’m still alive. Just respect the bike and go easy for the first time. For crying out loud, it's not a supersport.

It's a terrible first bike. You'll get caught off guard by the torque and you'll be doing accidental wheelies before you know it. Learn on something smaller.

These days, people baby new riders too much. In my time, we learned on what we had to hand. You’ve got half a brain, the FZ-07 is fine.

I believe it is a good starter bike for larger guys. A Ninja 300 is going to feel like a toy if you're 6'2" and 200lbs. You will fit better in the FZ-07 and you will grow into it.

It's all about self-control. You don't crash because the bike does it, you do. The FZ 07 is a great first bike that you won’t outgrow in a month if you can resist the urge to show off and ride within your limits.
What is the one mod to do on every FZ-07?

Exhaust, hands down. The stock one is just way too quiet and doesn't give the engine the justice it deserves. It’ll wake up the bike’s personality, plus.

First thing, forget the exhaust, get some frame sliders. Before you start making it prettier or louder, protect your investment.

So the first thing I did was swap out the seat. After an hour, you get uncomfortable on the stock one and a good aftermarket seat makes all the difference on a long ride.

Don't mod it at all! At least give it a few months to really get a feel for the bike if you ride it stock. Afterwards you will know what you really want to change.

No question, Fender eliminator kit. That stock rear fender is downright ugly and kills the lines of the bike.

I'd say a good set of tires. I'm okay with the stock ones, but upgrading to some high quality rubber will change this thing's handling for the better.

ECU flash, for sure. It makes throttle response a little smoother and provides you with a little bit more power. It's like riding a completely new bike.

And honestly, these are just some bar end mirrors. They look better, provide a clearer view, and don’t vibrate nearly as much as the stock ones.

Forget all that fancy stuff. Get some good gear first. The best mod is whatever keeps you safe and comfortable while riding.
What is the best mods for Yamaha FZ8?

The best first mod is a good exhaust. The sound wakes up and is given a small power boost. But don't go too loud that it annoys everyone.

The biggest difference comes from suspension upgrades. Fork internals are better and a rear shock improves the handling.
