time

Time to get the old chain and Sprockets off over Christmas, had a Stealth on my Blackbird for a while to time to do the same on the Tracer. Hopefully it all goes smoothly !!

Time for a service and this time I will do it myself as the price is too steep at the shop. Wondering what oil people are using, feel this Yamalube semi synth is going bad a bit fast (feel it when shifting).

Actually got to use my bike as the manufacturer intended and enjoyed every mile. I brimmed the tank and rode 193 miles, on refueling the bike took 17. 20 litres which equates to 52 mpg. I think I would have been pushing the bike to the garage at 205 miles. What warnings do you get that it is...

Givi outback trekker top box and rack mount I have now fitted the Outback Trekker 42Ltr top box with the rack and mount as shown in the pictures, easy to assemble in not much time

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.

I was fitting a GIVI Rack to my 2014 MT-09 today. Whilst putting the bike back together I noticed that where the Indicators and Tail Tidy number plate light wiring goes through there are quite large holes. I'm in the NE of Scotland and it rains a lot! We all know useless the rear Hugger is for...

Decent forecast tomorrow so I am out on the tracer for the 1st time this year,maybe 150 miles enough to break me in.

Just a bit of Fun. I wonder if he got the door closed in time

Well, I traded in my MT07 today and collect my new bike on Monday. The 07 has been a good little bike but I've come to the conclusion that I prefer something larger with more cylinders. Trouble is, bikes like that now seem to fall into two categories: Full-on sportsbikes (which are just too...

Hi all, Still finding my way around the forum and so not sure if I'm found the best area to post this but the "Yamaha MT-09 / FZ-09 Dealers & Pricing" area is under the "2014 Yamaha MT-09 / FZ-09 Ownership" section ?? Anyway.... What would you say was a good cash price (no trade in) for a...

Past weekend I had a 400km trip, and noticed that cruising in 6th gear around 120-130km/h (about 80mph), the handlebar suffers from intense vibrations, to the extent that my right hand gets totally numb in a matter of minutes, forcing me to release the grip time to time to "awake" it... have you...

Hey guys, hope you're all good :) Afraid it's time to say goodbye to my beloved MT tomorrow, trading her in for a new Ducati Monster 821. What an absolutely amazing bike the MT has been though, if i could afford to keep both I would. Had so much help and advise off you guys too :) Imgur: The...

I have just bought a Tracer and are currently waiting for parts for my mods,lowering the bike 30mm with Wilbers fully adjustable rear damper and progressive springs in front,engine guard from touratech when aviable..waiting for my bar riser from Billet to install this week. have installed the...

Hi all, Just joined as looking at change from my F800GS and thinking about Tracer. Test ride booked PM and British summer time is in full flow - torrential rain and wind ;-). Regards Ian:cool:

Well everyone. The MT is gone, sold, and the new owner has taken it home. Now there is an empty space in my garage, and I'm not sure when that will be filled by something else. Not even sure what bike I will get as a replacement. In the past weeks I have ridden: -BMW S1000RR, S1000R...

I've had enough.. the indicator switch gear is getting changed..! & as i ride a different bike too its dangerous for me.. I'm trying to use the horn and when i cant find it, the next time it might be to late. :(

Hi all, Dr Dave newbie here. Last bike was a Multistrada 1200 with termis and ecu, Superduke before that. Bloody love my MT, reminds me of my old 350 LC (but obviously way better). The things fun, more than can be said about the multistrada. Seats an absolute killer though and it seems there is...

brought my mt last year brand new. after about a month it kept cutting out. at first i put it down to my own in experience but it started to happen a lot when coming to a stop even if i was fully clutched in. i sent it back and a week later they still thought nothing was wrong with it and had...

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)...

Hello all, I have 16000 km on the bike and i oil the chain regularly and adjust it from time to time. Few days ago i adjusted the tension again , and it seems that the chain have much more free play only after like 100 km of riding. Any suggestions ? When i know that it time to replace the chain?
