Changed the oil in mine tonight at 610 miles. I've adjusted my throttle cables twice thus far. The slack really does set in quite a bit during the break-in period. Looking forward to more fun with the R7.

Welcome to the forum @JDrake_MMA_R7.
Congrats on your R7! Do you have any pictures of it?

What oil filter did you use and where'd you get it? I can't find one for the R7 on RevZilla or Partzilla.....the only thing I hate about this bike is how new it is, it's so hard to find parts ughhh

It's the same filter as nearly all Yamaha's, if you want OEM. 5GH-13440-xx-00 The xx is the version number, it's up to 71 now, but any with the rest of the number will work. For Mobil 1 filters it's the M1-108A (2.5") OR M1-110 (3.5"). There is no clearance issue with the 110. I had used Bosch filters for years but I have had problems with them in the last year, three different bikes leaked from the seal, so no more Bosch for me.

Different brands of oil filters have relief valve pressures that are all over the place compared to OEM. Most use pressures that are far lower.

 

[GnarDoggs]

What oil did you use? Synthetic or nah?

Have you had a good experience with Mobil 1 filters for your motorcycles? I’ve been using K&N because I can’t get ahold of OEM ones because they keep getting lost in the mail (P.O. Box) so I have to resort to the local stores (which obviously don’t have jack &[email protected] when it comes to parts). And I hear horror stories about K&N… which leaves me to Mobil 1 which is the only other widely available brand at Walmart, etc.

Ha, I just saw this question. I have never had a problem with Mobil 1 filters and they have always been easy to obtain. Every AutoZone, NAPA, Wal Mart, etc seems to carries them.

I just got an email from K&N saying they don’t make one for the R7 … and will let he development team know my concerns …

That's strange that they didn't tell you the 204 is what the Yamaha part number cross-references to. The 204 also fits many other makes and models so don't think the one they'd offer for the R7 is going to be something different or have a relief valve pressure equal to what a Yamaha filter would have. Tests have shown that most aftermarket valves open too soon which lets unfiltered oil thru.

I've never used a K&N oil filter but I found their statement about not having one a little concerning. Maybe it was a new guy on email that day? LOL

really?? 204 fits eh…. Lol the email said they don’t have one for my years which is 2022 R7 oh well…. Just like how some people doesn’t think a certain exhaust will fit when it is the same engine as the MT 07 with a few modifications to the R7…. Scary that KN sent me that email

They haven't updated their list in a long time. They're still using an old cross-referenced Yamaha number 5GH-13440-50-00 but it's been superceded twice over the years. Older bikes show that number as superceded but the R7 is too new to list it.
