time

Spent a bit of time Saturday while it was raining outside cutting out the useless plastic ridge to open up the underseat storage for the disc lock & making a rear mud flap to help protect the rear shock from some of the road crud.

Quick word of warning to those with new bikes especially. Checked my chain tension at 390 miles for first time this morning (I know, I should use it more, and clearly should have checked it more especially), despite correct running in procedure ie not revving the nuts off it or pulling wheelies...

Hi to all, Have I done the right thing? After going to have a pair of Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa's fitted to my 7600 miles 2011 Triumph Speed Triple yesterday (30-05-15) whilst they were being fitted I wondered off around the bike shop to kill some time....... So after a little while of killing...

Took the MT-07 out yesterday and fitted my Pillion seat to the bike for the first time as the misses decided she would come out and enjoy the New Forest sunshine too. I used to take the misses out on the back of the Ninja all the time but wasn't looking forward to it on the MT-07 due to how...

Its been bugging me for a while now so i thought i'd take the risk? I hacked off the caps that are on the side covers so i don't have to keep taking of the side covers every time i want to use the ABBA STAND. Plus side it looks great and i can now easily use the greatest center stands

Hi all, I'm picking up a brand new orange mt09 next week. Coming from a Honda hornet 900, I can't believe how light this bike is! I will be modding the bike over time if anyone has suggestions?

Has anybody else got a snappy clutch, also it seems to squeak for the first time when not used for a couple of days..?

Just to say hello to you all , my name is Dave and I got myself an MT-07 about a month ago and love it to bits , decided that at nearly fifty and with the back ache taking longer to go after every ride that it was time to give up the sports bikes for something with a better riding position , so...

Ok who's got a pillion seat they don't want anymore I got a project in mind and don't want to fork out for a new one if it doesn't work. not asking for charity willing to buy it off you, please PM if you can help... Thanks for your time

when the ice age arrives each october i be like "stuff this im off riding".....you should try it some time.. but i doubt you will.

Collected my Race Blu Tracer on 09/03/15 from Padgetts of Batley but only managed 400 miles so far! Chopped in my Suzuki DL1000 which I'd had for eight years, still adjusting to how light the Tracer feels. Had to have a triple this time as I've done in-line fours and twins, just love the...

I've had my MT-07 for only a few days but I've been visiting my local Yamaha dealer, Motorcycle World in Northampton, for the last couple of months. They. Are a bunch of really nice guys who are serious enthusiasts and are willing to spend time chatting any time. I had visited dealers further...

Can anyone tell me why my bike wont start first flick of the switch when starting for the first time in a day or after a considerable period of time? For example, go to head to work in the morning and hit the start switch. Bike wont start first go however will always start on second attempt...

I had a minor prang on 1st February and the insurer authorised repairs a week later. The bike is still in the shop today awaiting parts, which won't be in until next week. Yep, 6+ weeks for parts. The last time I had a Yam, 20 odd years ago, it was just the same. Not impressed.

Good afternoon all, I'm returning to biking after a 16 year break and I'm picking up my shiny new Matt grey MT07 next week :) I was so close to buying a Street Triple before I gave the MT a test ride, it was so awesome and I saved myself a few quid as well. My last bike was a NC30 which was...

Hi Guys, A little video of me assembling an integrated backlight with blinkers and also fender elimination. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxYgO7qHdB8 This is very easy, my knowledges are really low :p The most important thing is do this calm, with time and think well. I prefer to take more...

Hi Guys, A short video with the sound of starting the bike. Stock exhaust and cold engine. My idea was to do something more but maybe next time :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLrZ33YM9QY&list=UUbAvOPuD3NGoqCFHse0cRpQ Cheers!!!

Since our government decided to quadruple the amount of photo-vans starting this year, it is time to get either a laser jammer or a number plate flipper. How reliable are these jammers? or should I just stick with the flipper, since there is plenty of time to react before you pass the van and...
