    Ermax white/black satin

    Last update (I think). I had the bike out in the sun today and the cover really does look fantastic. The white on the cover does not look dull at all in the sun, in fact if anything it is brighter than the Yamaha white! :o I think it goes to show that it's the reflective properties that are...

    Ermax white/black satin

    See my post directly above, I think you may be ok as darker colours will probably not be as divergent as the white under different lighting conditions. It is highly subjective though. In the UK if we order a product over the Internet (distance selling) we have the legal right to return it for a...

    Ermax white/black satin

    I've had another look tonight and it looks loads better! I don't fully understand how - maybe it's a degree of acceptance. However I have noticed that it is very dependent (more so than the Yamaha paint) of its surroundings, i.e. it more eagerly reflects the tone of the colours around it. For...

    Ermax white/black satin

    Yeah your hugger looks really good. I think matching a lighter colour (particularly white) is a lot more unforgiving, possibly because our eyes are more sensitive to tonal variations in these lighter colours.

    Ermax white/black satin

    Well I'm in the UK and ordered from Jesters Trick Bits. If you order the white/black satin please let me know your thoughts on the colour match.

    Ermax white/black satin

    I think it's a keeper as it does look really good on the bike, probably just my OCD kicking in. I got my wife's opinion and she said straight away that it does match! (and she can be as fussy as me). Here's a couple more photographs from different angles - tail tidy, LED flashers and removal of...

    Ermax white/black satin

    Has anyone got any of the Ermax white/black satin accessories such as the rear hugger or rear seat cover? I've just taken delivery of the seat cover and although it's not too bad, the white doesn't quite match the Yamaha white - it's a bit 'duller' in appearance. On photographs it looks...

    What was you previous ride

    Couldn't have said it better - I agree with all your points (I'm coming from a CBR600): The MT-07 is a more interesting ride than a sports bike in most UK scenarios: it has higher torque at low revs and it's light and compact. The sound of a twin (more like a V-twin). More soul +1. More scope...

    Mirror threads

    I've just got my new MT-07 after a long wait for the dealer to get stock, I'm well chuffed :D Having had a play with the various bits on the bike I've noticed something about the mirror threads. The left hand mirror tightens in a clockwise direction (normal RH thread) and the right hand mirror...

    FZ/MT-07 Genuine Yamaha shop manual

    £15 on eBay PRINTED Yamaha MT-07 Service Workshop Repair Manual MT07 2014 INCLUDE PARTS LIST | eBay Includes parts list as well. The manual I think is primarily for the UK ABS version. Mine came bound in a 4 ring binder, well worth the money.

    Gearbox issue?

    A wet clutch such as in the MT07 has multiple plates that turn in the engine oil. The oil is used as a lubricant/cooler, but when the engine is cold the oil is a lot thicker (higher viscosity) and therefore has a greater resistance to movement (friction). This can have quite a marked effect and...

    Today I decided to drive the last 200 km to reach 1000km. I live in Sweden. It is the

    There's a new red one sitting in a showroom about 10 miles from me in Derbyshire, England. Bit far for you to pick up though :eek: Still at least you could run it in on the ride back to Sweden!

    MT 07 race blue delivery dates??

    Yes that might confuse some neighbours. I've decided to keep my CBR over winter as its a bad time of year to take a new bike out on the road especially just after the gritters have been. I'll ride the Yam on the better days and use the CBR more in the wetter conditions, selling it come Spring...

    Woo hoo, just come off the phone with CMC, my white MT07 has arrived. Just got to pay for it now :eek:

    MT 07 race blue delivery dates??

    Hi, I ordered a white MT07 from CMC Chesterfield just after you at the end of September and was also given a January delivery date. Out of interest when I went to the NEC a couple of weeks ago I spoke to the sales manager for Yamaha UK and he confirmed that any new orders as of now would see a...

    Bike shows in the winter?

    I went to the show today with my son. We were going to go on the motorbike if the weather was ok, but guess what?... It hammered it down today so car it was. I happen to agree with the OP as I was thinking the exact same thing earlier this week. As for the show, I've not been for a while and to...
