OK. I ordered this. It should be fine. Now I just need to learn how to use it.
That's one of the greatest things I've ever seen, at least in the terms of emergency motorcycle repair.
I found it on Amazon too. LINK
The buzzing on the handlebars landed me comfortably in carpal tunnel territory off the batt, with most of my right hand going numb. Yay for the 2018's hard mounted handle bars! My buddies already had these so I stopped at a random bike shop and grabbed one (was $24.95usd) and it was the best thing ever. Unlike those "cramp busters" that let you release your grip because a flap rests against your palm, these allow you to take your hand completely off the bars while the throttle stays where you set it. I find them at every random bike and atv accessories store. Made all the difference, didn't get in my way at all during twisties, was easy to effortlessly set/release without effort while riding.
I just ran premium, as that's what the manual asks for. US gas is stupidly cheap to start with, so it was substantially cheaper than regular fuel back home, and the MT07's so good on gas anyways. Cost me on average around $7usd/250km, but that was mostly in twistier roads at a good clip; if we did the speed limit I could have extended that range considerably. For how I ride it turned out 250km range worked very well as a guideline.
My shoulders where fine, as you can sit right upright on the MT07 if you wish so there's no strain on them at all.
My ass, on the other hand, was in screaming pain. The seat was simply inadequate for that kind of ride. I find it's good for up to 2 hours at a time. I'd do another ride with this seat if I had to, but I'm hoping to grab... Something, I dunno what yet, to make it better. A seat cover or something.
I brought a toolkit consisting of a Leatherman, a couple crescent wrenches, a set of Allen Keys, a multimeter, some zip ties and some metal wire, a tire pressure gauge with a length of duct tape wrapped around it, and spare universal control cables. I'd say for most people a multimeter is less important, but mine came in handy diagnosing and fixing (bypassing, rather) a friend's gimpy clutch/neutral switch.
Also packed: socks and underwear per day, a pair of spare t-shirts and a pair of pants packed into ziplock freezer bags with the air squeezed out (way more compact than just rolling clothes, AND guaranteed to stay dry), a sweater and an undershirt (layering yo! Adjust to the temperatures), a couple microfiber rags and lens cleaner for my face shield, some Tylenol, a small first aid kit (thankfully unneeded), toothpaste/toothbrush/floss/antiperspirant.
The tail bag is a Nelson Rigg CL 1060S which was phenomenal and looked really nice on the bike, and a cheap cargo net strapped over top for carrying loose stuff (removed layers of clothes, bottles of water, bag of Cheetos, etc) that I wanted fast access to.
Also had a RAM mount off the left mirror stem with a wired in charger so my phone stayed at 100% while rocking Google Maps (downloaded maps, so worked offline) and music to my Sena headset. That charger would fast-charge my phone if the bike was running, or just slow charge otherwise. Having GPS going all the time really relieved some anxiety as I could stop and take photos without worrying about losing the group. Location sharing is super helpful too once your in town; can split up and find each other again effortlessly.
