bike

Hi Guys just a quick note to let you know I have just sold my bike, the forum has been a good place to find out information and help from the members in the 3 years of owning the bike I have really enjoyed it but it's time to move on and try something different, a big thanks to TT (Richie)...

Hi, I'm in a quandary, a dealer is selling the 2016 MT 09 for about the same price as the MT 07 (£6234 OTR) and I am not sure which way to go? They are doing this because a new 2017 MT 09 is going on sale in December. I was unsure if I wanted an MT 07 or an MT 09 in the first place, now I don't...

Good day, coleagues, I am new here, new with motorcycles and new with tracer 2016. I have one annoing feeling with my bike. When I am riding at constant speed and at constant engine rpm, i feel stretching/twitching/surging. When I am slowing or accelerating everything is ok. The chain also is...

Top man WSB well done Jonathan back to back world super bike champion, keep her lit!!

Head bearings. Apparently these as fitted in the factory to the MT07 are of the same kind of standard as the rest of the bike, and don't last as far as you'd expect them to. There have been a few cases of them being replaced under warranty, for the lucky few people whose warranties were...

the best £45 ever invested :D I have the same on my old Fazer, although the Fazer ones were only £17. Apparently chinese manufacturers are profiteering here cause MT09 is new bike model. Anyhow I have to say they work great for me. No more trapped fingers :cool:

My MT07 is just 2 years old and has done 8k miles and is going like a train. yesterday we had 200 miles in awful weather , on getting home the bike looked as though it had been dragged through a plough field. some of the filth on the bike could have been avoided if the after market hugger maker...

Hi All, any ideas for cheap alternative of the expensive SW and Hepko center stands for MT09? INB4 I do not like ABBA stands, paddock stands or any other garage equipment. I need something on the bike that can be used everywhere if I need to work on or clean my bike.

Greetings guys, another sort of newbie here from sunny Blackpool. An Engineer by trade, but employed elsewhere for now. Not got an MT yet, but one is definitely in the pipeline. I've test ridden the MT09 three times now, the tracer 900 and 700, also the XSR900. The MT turns me into an absolute...

Hello to Everyone and I'm so pleased that this forum exists. I stumbled across it this afternoon, and have been reading and enjoying the wealth of information that is on here. Firstly, a little bit about myself. I have fallen in love with the idea of owning a MT- 07, the only problem is that...

Been having a few issues with my zip on my jacket catching my tank. So after a good search around decided on one of these....... £20 and I think it suits the bike very well. Colours are spot on.

I could have sworn I posted this a few days ago but buggered if I can find the post now... As subject, has anyone any experience of 4th Dimension bike repairers? The MT is currently in their custody after it and I were taken roughly from behind by a driver who drove into the back of me while...

Hi from a lurker! After a few months of just drooling over pics thought I’d better say hello. I’ve been riding a 2004 FZ6n, my first big bike for the last decade but poor health and the need to tour by trailer has meant needing a lighter bike. I’d got myself into the mindset of thinking it was...

Earlier this year, I decided to approach the bank of wife, about financing a new hobby. I'd set my heart on a catterham style kit car. Here's how the discussion went. Me: how's our savings looking? Wife: ok why? Me: I fancy treating myself to something Wife: what like Me: a kit car, like this...

Yamaha MT09 2013 Colour: Deep Armour Mileage 4700 No of Owners 2 (including me) I purchased this bike a couple of months ago, from a friend/the original owner. This bike was meant to be his forever bike, when he retired due to ill health in 2013. His wife pretty much gave him an open cheque...

I rode down to the MotoGP in Misano, mostly alone and off-piste at the beginning of September. On my casual way back, sticking to an alpine route and country D roads of France, I paused in Auxerre for a reasonable lunch...then set off on my way past Sens and Saint Clement on the D606 when I felt...

Hi all, Started motorcycling few months ago. Bought my first motorcycle, the MT/FZ 07 and absolutely love the bike. I have now gotten 1800miles (~3000km) on it, did the first maintenance at the dealer at 750miles. The bike has now completely shut down two times on me. The oil pressure...

Had a couple of hours in the man cave tonight. Fitting some long awaited bits. Yamahas GPS Mount. This is actually from an MT-10 as the MT-09 one doesn't fit correctly apparently. Yamaha also show it fitted to the 2 bolts nearest the rider but I think it looks better to the front of the bike...
