Hey all, In light of it being quiet here I thought I would add a short post to review a few things I have done to my 2016 MT09. It might help others decide what to do themselves! Ok so first off: K-tech Razor R rear shock / Ktech 20IDS fork cartridges with KTech springs.(9.8cst oil in comp...

sadly after 4 years very good return the mt-07 has been killed. had a driver stop dead in middle of roundabout leaving me no place to go but into them. even though it was a slow speed crash the head was damaged and forks bent so bike has been written off. bike had just over 8000 miles on it and...

I've managed to almost wear through my rear brake hose presumably with my boot somehow so I guess now is the time to switch to braided versions. Any particular brand noticeably better or worse than the others? Bike is a 2014 without ABS. Also I guess the twin front lines would be better than...

Hi guys, I'm thinking of upgrading my forks, was going to try something cheap first, like this https://shop.tecbikeparts.com/products/yamaha-fork . Was just wondering if anyone has bought this product and whether its worth it? I don't find the rear shock too bad unless I'm really pushing on, so...

Hello all, I'm from Nelson, New Zealand and have recently bought a MT 07. This is the LAMS (Learner Approved Motorcycle Scheme) version peculiar to Australia and New Zealand. 655cc by sleeved down bore, restricted throttle, and re-mapping. I've been riding since the early 1980s and have had...

Actually got to use my bike as the manufacturer intended and enjoyed every mile. I brimmed the tank and rode 193 miles, on refueling the bike took 17. 20 litres which equates to 52 mpg. I think I would have been pushing the bike to the garage at 205 miles. What warnings do you get that it is...

Hi .I am looking at the MT 07 as my next bike and looking for advice and reviews.Thanks in advance

Hy lads. have got hold of some new andreani cartridges for MT 09. can any one give me any advice on fitting these to bike. Do you have to use ohlins oil as have been told that ohlins is only for track use. also read that you have to set up pins that are under the fork caps before you fit to...

I have a 2017 07 that I bought last March. I had done just under 5000 miles when the starter relay packed in. Thankfully the bike was still under warranty, so no issue (other than nconvenience) in getting the bike fixed. My dealership told me that they've had a few bikes in with the same...

Hi guys, I am currently on an L plate on a YBR125. I have my first DAS lesson next week, i'm excited but quite nervous to be honest as i have never ever rode a 600cc bike. I believe its a Suzuki Gladius 650? Anyway, I passed my CBT just before Xmas 2017, bought my 125 which i have had for 2 and...

I just found out about these bikes when I was looking for a bike with better suspension then my honda shadow has. I have looked at the NC700x, Versys, and the V-Strom and now I am going to look into this bike. I have not ruled out any bike yet, but want to find out what people like and dislike...

I have just got one of the best non biking piece of kit you can have and if you haven't got one I suggest you do. We all know cleaning bikes for some can be a chore but for others quite therapeutic plus it gives us the chance to check it over and make sure everything is ok. So after a good...

I have just ordered a Denali Sound Bomb for my bike and am interested to see if anyone else has fitted one and, if so, any suggestions as to mounting points, tips and tricks, etc. Anyone???
