  1. So just to confirm, if I get the OEM 2021 MT07 turn signals and do the pumpkin connector swap I will have running lights?

    For the front, if you get the front turn signals, yes.

    Also, what about the flashing rate? This is changing incandescent bulbs to LEDs so there would likely be a speed-up in the rate of flashing without a resistor.

    That is true, mine flash very fast. My LED turn signal relay has been shipped. I wasn't sure, so I didn't order one at first.

    I'll be happy to show a video once I get the proper relay installed.  Anyway, the front turn signals have 3 wires for the running lights.

  2. On April 22nd of 2021 I promised I'd keep you all posted on my progress. Well, I finally got around to it. Installed LED turn signals from a 2021 MT07.  They are not plug and play, as the connectors are not compatible. You have to cut the connectors off and twist/solder your pumpkin connectors to the MT07 signals. Not a big deal, though. They are, however, an exact fit into the egg/oval holes on the bike for the turn signals.  Here's pics...

  3. To avoid the possible clutch slippage, avoid the energy conserving or resource conserving label.

    If you pay attention to recommended grade and viscosities in the owners manual and change at the recommended intervals, you'll be temporarily good to go for decades and many many miles.

  4. One key clarification on his comment, upon further review the one exception that he notes at 4:45 is if you are stranded somewhere without access to proper motorcycle oil that JASO MA/MA2  will work temporarily if you're left with no other alternatives.

     

    Of course it will work temporarily.  People have been using non-motorcycle oils for decades and many many miles with never an oil issue. 😉

  5. I have a set on mine. I'm quite impressed with them when cranked over and scraping the edge of your boot. Very predictable and confidence inspiring.  Not the latest and greatest?  lol as if most riders could push this tire to its limits. 🙄  I'll be getting another set when these wear out.

    Anyone actually installed the 2021 MT-07 LED signals? Does it require any adapter or modification?

    Was thinking those LED turn signals on 2021 Tracer 900 might be closer to a “direct swap” for our bike. Looked at the parts diagram for both MT-07 and Tracer 900 and noticed that although Tracer 900 seems to has LED turn signal but it requires additional flasher stay and damper. 
     

    They were on back order and I didn't receive them until October.  I opened up the box just a few days ago and the connectors are different.  Not a plug and play. I see solder and heat shrink in my future.
