Right, this isn't at all embarrassing! I had my Akra fitted last week, they insisted on leaving the baffle in. obviously I removed this as soon as I got home, I dropped the retaining screw into the exhaust. "Bother!" I thought, So started the bike with a towel behind the exhaust to catch the...

Hi, Just ordered a 2017 MT-09 in blue from my local dealer. I'm fitting the Yamaha upper tail tidy, R+G crash bungs and a screen as soon as I get it home. Should have it in about 10 days, then it's time for me to run it in and get the first service out of the way before I head off for the TT.

This is me 70 miles into a planned days touring had to return home. https://tse4.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.x2S3_lQtKqcSSlwjTfagTgEsDH&w=252&h=167&c=7&qlt=90&o=4&dpr=1.05&pid=1.7

2 women on their way back from a night out, stop in a graveyard for a piss. One wipes her fanny with her knickers, and the other uses a wreath of flowers. Their two husbands were in the pub the next day. One says, ''i'd better watch my wife. She came home last night with no knickers on.'' the...

Hi all hope this is in the right place! Been to the dealer for a test ride and potential purchase and no stock until march down south, is it the same all across the UK do you guys know? I was also planning to buy one used but the clear popularity of the new bike is making me wonder whether I...

....when I was going up a fairly long hill(2miles ish). Was on for about a minute. Pulled in then it went off itself without turning engine off. Coolant level ok and temperature ok. Carried on for another 10 miles or so till I get home and again checked everything but all seems well. Anyone else...

I rode my Tracer for the last time today to collect my Super Tenere from the dealers. Riding it highlighted all the good things that attracted me to it in the first place, but riding the S Tenere back home confirmed that for me at least it's the ideal bike. and seeing as I can only afford one...

Hi everyone, new rider and new MT-07 owner here. I was out for a ride today trying to get the miles in before my bike goes in for the first service in a few days (still breaking it in). I was on a country road and went for an overtake in 3rd gear (I should say at this point that my Yamaha...

Picked it up today, Akrapovic exhaust is on order at the dealer so I'll wait til the first service and have it fitted then. Fitted a Puiggi screen and R&G tail tidy as soon as I got it home. :)

does the PDI include checking tyre pressures ? evidently not at Fowlers :mad: it was so late by the time I was handed the keys there was only 1 route home, M4, and what a hideous ride, felt so unstable at speed and taking roudabouts was exciting, not in a good way, drift, drift, wobble and more...

Hi, Quite new to this forum.... Today a got my MT07, red one. :) I have been looking for a new bike for some time, and I finally decided for the MT07. I got the bike from a dealer in Nyköping, approximate 90 km from Tumba. My old Suzuki GSX600F from 2000 was part of the payment. The ride...
