Yes this happened to me also and it was a sticking clutch switch as Shadowmonkey said

Isn't the show timed so we see all the new bikes??? We wouldn't have seen the new R1 or the H2R if the show was in the summer

I fitted an Evotech tail tidy to mine last weekend. It's a nicely designed piece of kit and looks mega. I'll post a picture tomorrow Tail Tidy for Yamaha MT 07 | Motorcycle Parts | Yamaha Aftermarket Parts

Welcome to the forum! I got my 64 plate MT-07 over the weekend and it killed me not to use it until Monday. Mine is a white ABS version too :) I've ordered an Akrapovic but got to wait until they-re in stock at CMC Clay Cross :(

If it states that a thread should be lubricated with a particular product then the torque figure will be calculate to provide the correct tension. You get a more consistent tension to torque with lubricated surfaces than dry

You should always follow the manufacturers advice as to where and where not to use lubrication on screw threads. Manufacturers specify a torque on the nut so the bolt (or spindle in this case) is at the correct tension. The torque is not set just to prevent the nut from coming loose. Lack of...

I took an MT07 out yesterday for about an hour. I fired the engine and was a bit underwhelmed by the noise. Pulling away in traffic it felt lumpy compared to my Z1000 but I loved how light the bike was and how torquey the engine felt. It's such a maneuverable bike so perfect for my 70 mile...

Hello guys, I've ordered my MT-07 this week and delivery is due in a couple of weeks. I've chosen a white one with ABS, although I would have preferred it without because I'm impatient and couldn't wait a couple of months for one. I traded in a 2005 model Kawasaki Z1000 that I've only had a...
