Well next week marks the 1st Anniversary of my purchase of my 2015 Tracer. I got it with about 800 miles on the clock and I have clocked up another 4000 since then. This is my first Yamaha, I have owned Hondas since 1970 (Still have a 1998 Blackbird) and have also tried a Triumph(955 Tiger)...

Took the 2017 MT-09 for a demo the other day it was the grey with the fluorescent wheels, it is the same as the earlier model but it has a quickshifter and a slipper clutch which are good, the engine is smoother but still has the annoying transmission whine in 2nd 4th and 6th gears which seems...

I had an accident end of last year and my bike was written off. I managed to get a replacement bike and it came with a lot of extras including a Renntec Grabrail. I swapped the original seat for a Sargent seat which I kept from my old bike. Unfortunately I didn't notice that with the grabrail...

Hi would be interested to know if you partner rides if so what bike do they ride ? There has been an increase of new and returning riders here in QLD and nice to see a few females amongst them. Its also good to see the rise in rider respect it wasnt great before compared to the UK. Didnt...

How much ? maybe not as much as you think I went into my local Kawasaki dealership and was browsing the used bikes, the owner started speaking to me and asked how much I thought my 2015 plate was worth in a trade in towards the bike I was sitting on. ( suzuki gsx1250) I told him I was offered...

Shall we say all in the LewFz1 house hold has been strained for sometime now. I came back from the Dechetterie (dump) and my wonderful wife has a face on her like well smacked arse. She kicks off , I am sick of you getting speeding tickets, from now on I will do the driving. 58kph in a 50 zone...

Evening all, just joined after buying myself a Tracer. Middle aged lifelong biker. I have to be honest, I wasn't looking for a Tracer but started reading up on them after seeing a highish mileage (23,000) model on EBay. The reviews sounded great, and having had a few Triumph Triples over the...

I've got a pair of ASV short levers from my MT09, they came fitted to the bike but are too short and not comfy so i've replaced them with long ones. These are like new and have the tiniest bit of wear where they attach to the bike, so it's not even visible when fitted. Anyone interested for...

Hi, just wanted to say hi to all fellow MT09 riders, just got my bike back last Tuesday after in early December a kind gent decided to rear end me at the traffic lights, Not happy, lost the bike for 5 weeks we had loads of rides planned for xmas, Only got the bike in September and had been...

Posting this message to share the deal of the century I received at Steve Jordan motorcycles in Leatherhead. Hopefully other MT09 riders can benefit. Mine is the Tracer and it just felt too 'hard' out of the box (oo er vicar)... Steve Jordan's place is well known in the south for excellent race...

Hi all, I'm very new to biking (only a few months in) my first bike is a 2013 MT-09 ABS. Unfortunately due unforeseen circumstances I have been unable to ride/start the bike for a good 3 weeks. I went to start her around 4 days ago and it wouldn't start. Display screen was on and working as...

Treated myself (along with Ram Mount ball) at the Bike Show to some R&G Heated Grips The garage is freezing today, but thought I would at least offer it to the bike. All seems well, but how the hell do I slacken those bar ends. ?? I remember them being tight on other bikes but not this bad It...

Got my CBT booked for 7th Jan. Once passed I'll get the theory booked and the DAS. Been to Yamaha in Flitwick today to buy some clothing and a helmet. They are my local dealer which is handy too. The MT 07 will be my first bike. I'm 41 now, so after owning 33 cars I think it's time for a...

Hello. My names Os, it's been 4 months now since I bought my FZ-07 and yes it is my first motorcycle. I've mainly just been googling and watching tons of youtube videos for over a year before I made the plunge to invest in my bike. I haven't regretted choosing the FZ-07 as my first...

Well, I traded in my MT07 today and collect my new bike on Monday. The 07 has been a good little bike but I've come to the conclusion that I prefer something larger with more cylinders. Trouble is, bikes like that now seem to fall into two categories: Full-on sportsbikes (which are just too...

Looking a fun commuting bike that suits my 6ft 1 frame. The mt-09 seems a great bike but is it suited to doing 44 miles a day(22 each way)? I would be doing roughly 15,000 a year on it. Would it cope for a couple of years with that mileage.

Hi, bought my 09 ABS brand new March last year. I am happy with bike, but tbh , I had not long had it when I started wondering if I should have went for the tracer as it had a few things different on it that I quite liked the look of. I saw a 2016 09 tracer on the website of my local Yamaha...
