riding

Hi All, Been having a good poke around on this forum and seems like a good place to come if you own a Yamaha, informative and friendly! A year ago I faced a huge dilemma. Should I buy a Street Triple or MT-09? ... Well, I bought the Street, A 2013 newer shape model but completely standard. I...

Hi everyone. Ive been lurking on here for a while. ( im a tapatalk user and i forgot my password doh!) I bought an accident damaged 6000 mile MT09 2014 in Kenny Roberts colours at the end of January. It was only a dented tank and a grazed generator cover which have both been repaired. I have...

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.

My girlfriend is always freaking out when I go riding, this might shut her up for once lol. Is there anything like this out right now? https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/airbagforbike#/

First "free" service is meant to be taken at 600 miles or 6 weeks. Well that six weeks was up in October, and it hasnt stopped raining for more than a day since, for me to get past the current 450 mile mark I dont do wet or cold weather riding out of choice. (but on writing that I am recalling...

Before all the mayhem stars I would like to wish everyone on the forum a happy new year and safe riding in 2016! :cool:

Hello everybody. Sadly I have to get rid of my MT 07. It means I'm now selling my Leovince underbody exhaust. If anyone's after one for christmas then hopefully this is useful for you. It's done less than 700 miles and sounds great. Leovince Underbody Mt 07 / Fz 07 | eBay Thanks guys and...

slightly off subject but take a look at this beauty http://store.skully.com/ I will be saving my pennies :)

Hi, this is Alan from TW. I own a MT-01 and a Mt-09. happy riding!!!!

Hey Guys, I've been lurking around here for a while now, gathering information on the Tracer to help in my decision making process. Have to thank you for the amount of info.....didn't answer all my questions, but gave me enough to make an informed decision. I've been riding for over 8 years...

Last week I installed Kev's O2 controller right after getting the Tracer from the dealer and riding it home for 95 km's through the pouring rain... So, can't really say something about the bike before the controller (didn't really experienced any annoying snatchiness, many talk about) but with...

Picked up my grey year old MT09 a week ago. I had been watching it in my local bike shop for a while and finally decided to sell my TL1000S so I could buy it..........thankfully the bike shop had not advertised it beyond their website as I am sure it would have sold quickly otherwise with all...

this bike is so much fun, doesn't do bad against the fz09 either, I was actually surprised how well it will hang with it, the 09 is obviously faster but not huge until the higher end speeds... not sure why this site won't let me embed the vid?? Also how long do I have to do one of those spam...

Hey, I need some advice on how I could carry a chain while riding with a pillion, I use a 13mm pragmasis chain (7kg) and usually carry it in a Kriega US10 tail pack when riding on my own but this doesn't work when i'm riding with pillion. I'm not going to be fitting a tail box/case and I also...

I'm looking at either the Akra or Arrow for my Tracey, but, I have seen a few threads about the Akras hitting the road, seen a few dented ones on ebay as well, how big a problem is this, most of my riding is with a pillion as well?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0FSMK6WqNE Nothing to exciting here, just a short film of my ride to work. I'm riding a 2014 Yamaha MT07, and riding from Waikanae to Paraparaumu (Nower Northisland of NZ) around 8:15am in the middle of winter. Yes that is front on the ground.

Just wondered if anyone on here had fitted the lowering kit & if so what's the recomendation from Yamaha about how much the forks should be raised through the top yoke, I'll be fine riding as is on my own but may want to fit the kit & be a bit more sure footed when i tour with the wife!

I have noticed that the engine temperature reading fluctuates quite a bit when riding.. Once the engine is hot, it could fluctuate between 67 - 88 degrees C depending on riding conditions. (movement or stationary..) Is this normal..? or do I have a problem? I am more use to Honda that stays...

Hi all, i'm new to the forum, i took the plunge last Saturday after two test rides & the wife giving pillion seat approval & ordered my Tracer which i should be picking up this coming Saturday, i'm from the Ipswich area in Suffolk & look forward to possibly picking a few brains & maybe even...

Hi all, Have been on this site a few times and thought id join up. Currently riding an mt-09 blazing orange model with a few extras and found this forum great in helping me with decisions. Come from a motocross racing background and I absolutely love this bike and it certainly hasn't dulled...
