brake

Hi! Just wondering if someone is willing to help me with the integrated taillight, since it's not working as it should. It's a "KEMiMOTO" taillight bought from AliExpress. Everything is working except when you are applying front and rear brakes. The light is flickering, kind of a strobe...

2015 MT 0-9 ABS. My rear brake pedal seems to be getting lower and I cannot see any way of adjusting it. The only adjustment that I can see associated with the brake pedal is for the purpose of adjusting the brake light switch free play. I suspect that the rear pads @ 13,000 miles are now...

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...

A little advice please..just done my first ride of the year, bike stored in my garage. Front brake operates the rear light, but not when I try rear on its own. All other lights, indicators, horn fine. Anything else I can do, or is it visit dealer? Thanks in advance.

The front brakes on the tracer always felt a bit spongy and didn't really inspire.. At all! I could easily pull the lever almost all the way in to the grip on all but the widest setting.. Being a new bike I never really though much of it, they worked well enough to bring it to a halt quick sharp...

Having bought a new bike I am now selling my Grey 2014 MT09. One elderly previous owner and MOT until May 2018. The bike is in mint condition having covered just 5275 miles and has over £4k in accessories/extras fitted. These include: Titanium Akropovic exhaust. Maxton suspension front and...

Fully sorted MT 09 with Ohlins suspension and S Tec ECU flash complete with quickshift with auto blip on downchange. Just had service and handlebar clamp recall carried out, mileage 2500 will increase slightly Other extras fitted include Yamaha Akrapovic exhaust, Heated Grips, Engine protectors...

Has anyone fitted stainless braided brake lines to their Tracer? I am looking at perhaps buying a kit and doing the job myself. Any thoughts or comments appreciated.

Hi Guys Sadly my Mt 09 is no more after being taken out by a blind idiot doing a Uturn. I have a luggage rack and a set of braided brake lines (Wezmoto Full Length Race Front Braided Brake Lines Yamaha MT-09 2013-2014) up for grabs. value +-$450, happy to take $200 located in Terrey Hills, NSW...

Does anyone know what's involved in a 5000 mile service I'm sick of paying expensive labour charges when I could probably do it myself. Is it just brake pads, oil, chain tensioning and clean and oil and bits like that or is it internal engine checks?

This is probably a stupid question, what should the brake lever feel at the bar be like, I had a VFR1200 and the front brake lever was rock solid and excellent braking. I can get my Tracer lever pulled back to the grip. Wondering if this is normal? I should have thought that with a new bike it...

Hi, new to the forum and new to the Mt09 tracer. When I come down the gear box and get on the rear brake there's a lot of unpleasant feeling in that rear pedal. I guess you could say kick back. It was harsh enough to make me look down and expect to see something fouling ! I noticed a couple of...

I've decided to replace and relocate the rear brake fluid reservoir 'cos the original looks as ugly as sin IMHO :p Question is, can I mix Dot4 synthetic with the existing fluid (if there's owt left of it by the time I've finished re-plumbing!) and what works best (read: cheap and effective)...

The back brake is spongy as we all probably already know. Has anyone had any success in trying to sharpen up the back brake? Let me know.

Hi guys, Going to be doing some routine maintenance and a bit extra after a winter full of commuting and fun rides and before the summer kicks in and I don't get off the bike. I am planning on doing: Brake Pads Oil Filter and Oil Change A GOOD CLEAN as I haven't cleaned it once since owning (I...

hi gang. sorry ive been away for so long but life/work etc have been keeping me very busy. my mt-07 has changed a bit since you last looked at it so here are the extras ive added since i was last here. as you know the suspension was lowered by 20mm front and rear by hyperpro and this has made...

I'm looking to tidy up the grotty faded black paint on the brake reservoir and brackets that hold the clutch, front brake etc on my other bike. I want it to look original, so Hammerite isn't really going to work. Any ideas / guesses as to what would work best? It might just be a can of matt...

Hi All, Looking for some advice from the mechanically minded, please... In October I decided to upgrade my brake pads - installed a set of Ferodo sintered. I really liked them, I felt the initial bite was better and had better feedback from the front of the bike. In November my bike went for...

Today I finally installed the cheap but very nice and sturdy clutch and brake levers that I got from Ebay. It went well but now the brake light doesn't come on until I brake pretty hard. Adjusting the rear brake light switch is easy but I haven't been able to find out how to adjust the front...
