This post contains a list of weight reduction upgrades I have either changed or removed completely on my Yamaha MT07. Most are street legal mods depending on where you live. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 2018 MT07 is already a light motorcycle coming in at 179\u2013181 kg (395\u2013399 lb) with a full fuel tank. I wanted to increase the power-to-weight ratio by making this motorcycle as light as possible. But I didn’t want to break the bank doing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether you are racing or just looking for more power these upgrades will do the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
