I was having a drink with my other half on the front lawn of the Peacock Inn at Oakerthorpe near Alfreton yesterday (Sunday) afternoon about 3 to 4 ish. Saw someone go past on an MT-07 (the A615 in front of the Peacock). Looked good and sounded good - loads better than all the generic 4 cylinder...

Mine probably isn't the colour you're after, but I have some pics on the thread linked below so they may help. BTW the thread is quite old now and I have since done lots of other mods including the SC Project exhaust. http://www.motorcycle-talk.net/forum/mt-07-fz-07-modifications/926-rear.html

I've got a couple of short videos I posted on YouTube showing 'misbehaving' drivers whilst out and about on my MT-07. Well the second one wasn't dangerous, but he was annoying... Anyone else got any? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWdOdQ3ZOYY

I've finally got my side covers modified and powder coated. Thanks Yaminator for the tip for being able to use the Abba stand with the drilled-out side covers. I got mine CNC milled mainly because I haven't got the tooling to accurately drill them - the cost was £20 from a local engineering...

Good news. Forums like these are worth their weight in gold. The people (us) on them are such a great resource for sharing issues, concerns, ideas and solutions.

Yes my point above :rolleyes: :p

Addy is right about the parking light fuse. Someone at Yamaha didn't think this through and the fuse labelling is misleading - the signalling fuse does not include the indicator circuit. Another 2 points to consider: 1. Don't use resistors AND an LED flasher relay - it's one or the other. From...

Crazy idea, these armadillos need killing off as soon as possible :eek: I'm not a big fan of cycle lanes made as part of the road anyway as in the picture above. I think it is far safer for everyone when cycle lanes are made as part of the pavement as in this picture. It disrupts the roads less...

See my thread here http://www.motorcycle-talk.net/forum/mt-07-fz-07-modifications/1228-goodbye-ugly-mirrors-hello-rear-view-camera.html For me the RAM system in conjunction with the Bruudt mount was the best option. Basically the parts list is as follows: BRUUDT mount for MT-07, eBay link...

Ed, if you used the search you would find a very informative thread on the subject of brake pads and braided lines. It's here BTW http://www.motorcycle-talk.net/forum/mt-07-fz-07-modifications/381-improve-braking-performance.html

Bad idea to fixate on the vehicle in front of you. If you need to take avoiding action you are already target fixating on an object you may want to avoid (sub-consciously you will go where your head and eyes are looking). My advice would be to 'un-learn' this behaviour as soon as possible.

Horn position strikes again :mad: I was trying to let this lorry driver know my displeasure at him running a red light, but ended up sounding the horn way too briefly and pulling a little wheelie (more of a hop) instead. I forgot my clutch was out when I blipped the throttle. Now actively...

lol.......

Brilliant, thanks claustro.

Follow up on Doppler effect above. That's why I got a white MT-07. White is a mix of all colours in the spectrum so it looks faster in whatever direction you're going :cool:

Nice one :) tempted to do this one myself. Where did you connect the 2 new wires? When you say the original contact, where do you mean exactly?

Scumbags should get a life of their own instead of preying on other people's lives

Eddie, this is not true. My dealer has just quoted me a price over the telephone and was ready to take an order (see my post on page 1) even though I just phoned out of interest - no intentions of buying one!
