bikes

Hi, Anyone know of a good garage near Scunthorpe that I can trust to carry out my bikes servicing ? it's the first service, any idea on price ? Thanks

Hi all i test rode a tracer today and i am impressed with how much fun it was,my only complaint was the set was ibit hard,i thought the suspension was better than I expected,my questions are whats the yamaha heated grips like? And what else is worth considering? Ive traded in a 2014 triumph...

Hi guys! I was all happy that would buy a MT09-Tracer and started looking for insurance and found out on websites like gocompare and calling MCE that they won't insure me with this bike. I though that this is a bit weird since they would insure me with bigger bikes, more expensive bikes and...

hello all new member here from devon. picked up my 2016 lava red abs/tcs yesterday:cool:, came over from a ducati scrambler, nice bike but too italian for me. the abs saved my ass yesterday after only 8 miles!!! white van man, well i'm getting on a bit now, been riding since 1976. i have had...

Interesting this. I use my MT07 mostly to commute, and occasionally at weekends. I use my R1 for weekends, and occasionally to commute. I could have just one bike of course, but I like having a spare, it's 2 hours to get to work from where I am on public transport, the bike is less than an...

:) I thought I would ask MT-07 owners if the MT-07 is really like a modern day RD 400 or RD 350? Being a 2007 ER-6F owner I think the MT-07 is the bike for me if it is like those bikes I described because I had a 1977 Yamaha RD 400, and that was and still is my favorite bike. I'm concerned...

Greetings folks :) New member here from Australia. I purchased a Tracer as my latest daily rider - been riding for about 30 years, been through a few bikes in that time as you would expect.

As I've got an MT-09 ordered for March I thought I'd join the forum! I've been a lifelong biker starting on dirt bikes, then trials, then eventually getting a road licence. I've had lots of different bikes over the years from trailies, road bikes, sports bikes, commuters and currently have an...

Hi guys, just joined as I bought a new mt09 last week, so far loving it with a 1000 clicks knocked up in the first week. Not able to really crack it on yet but so far loving the triple torque. Not many here in HK as they don't like big bikes, no problem more for me :-)

hi everyone my name is chris I am 55 just got a an mt09 on a 15 plate traded in my 15 plate mt07 for it from slocombes in London only had it a few months just got back into bikes had a fair few strokers in the eighties :D

Can anyone help? Had a puncture in my rear tyre. Took the wheel out and had it repaired and refitted the wheel with no issues. However the rear calliper does not want to line up properly and I cant get the brake to pump up. The calliper is not square and rocks rather than slides on the pins. If...

Deposit placed on a new MT09 in blue.:) For me the blue is the best of a bad bunch of colours. The wide & narrow stripes on the tank didnt do anything for me. Arrives in a week or so. All I need now are some fine days for a good ride out into the Yorkshire Dales. That reminds me, running in...

Just a quick video to show my MT07 and some of the extra's i have added.. https://youtu.be/spf2BacQpJo Let me know what you think... I love my MT07... Fantastic Bikes... Ian

I am thinking about an MT-09. I have owned a number of non-Japanese bikes, a BMW R1100GS, KTM 950 Adv, Buell Ulysses, and they all used a fair amount of oil between oil changes. None of the Japanese bikes I've owned have used a drop. Does the MT-09 use any? I'm rather hoping not.

Hi Group. Three weeks ago I bought an MT-07 from another forum member, GAZ2212. It has been extensively and thoughtfully modified, regardless of cost and I am now benefitting from the experience and competence of Gary, the previous owner. You are probably aware of this bike, since Gary has...

Hello everyone out there.I'm shyted . I don't have an MT09 ,or even a Yamaha. I have got two other bikes one i really like and won't sell, the other i looked forward to getting so much ,but now i've seen the inside of three engines with as little as 3k on the clocks,and seen what crap quality...

Put this up just to see how many of you guys service their own bike or take it to a dealer like most i would imagine, i ask this because ive heard quite a few horror story,s of dealers doing the service, charging an arm & leg for it but worse peoples bikes have been damaged , scratched and so...

I was wondering weather anyone has traded in their MT-07 for the MT-09. I am on a MT-07 and was thinking of trading in and swapping for the MT-09 does anyone know what value Yamaha will give for my 2015 MT-07 so I could get a rough value of what I would need to pay. Also has anyone rode both...

Hi everyone . A quick introduction . Just got my new Tracer yesterday . Previous bikes here in Japan include 2 Honda Blackbirds ,Sportster and Suzuiki Intruder. Had my first real ride today on some pretty hairy twisties.Very different to the Blackbird but am looking forward to getting to know...
