    Uk dealerships that do ecu flash list

    Went over to Flitwick Yamaha this afternoon. They can and will do the update if asked. As yet people have chatted about, but not had it done. They seem sure that any new bikes in have NOT had the modded ECU map and they don't want to do their test bike because they themselves don't like the idea...

    new to the mt09 advice hear for you...

    Because I had to wait a month for mine to arrive I spent too much time ebaying amazoning and visiting other sites of MT interest. Luckily the day I got it, it pissed down so I spent most of it in the garage fitting it all on. Soon as I get the flash sorted one way or another ill start using A...

    Removal of the tank sticker was the very 1st mod I carried out ! Knackered several fingernails and made a right old mess in girlfriends back garden. She was WELL impressed ! And so I spent time picking up all the little bits !!

    first ride on street rally MMMMmmmmmm

    Like the look of the hugger. Looks much longer than the standard even with the extenda ive fitted. How does the Arrow can sound ? Been looking at them but wonder if they are actually as cheap as they seem [from Italy] or will I be hit with a huge import tax ? Looks good but I like my Orange one...

    Datatag certification

    Got mine in May. Asked for Datatag to be fitted when I ordered it and was told it was free. Was done at dealers before I tok delivery and about 3 = 4 weeks later I got the email from Datatag.

    Ohlins suspension

    Got an Ohlins shock ordered for the rear and some Fork Springs for my weight. Getting it all set up as soon as they arrive from Sweeden. Ill let you know how it goes but am expecting a pretty huge improvement over stock [budget] items.

    F@#k it!!!!

    Its being built up in Sweden with a suitable spring rate for my fully adjustable waist line ! [14 1/2 stone] My standard suspension is set just shy of max. Any more and its arse kick out of the seat. Any softer and its like Tigger on acid !

    F@#k it!!!!

    Im waiting to hear from FTR that my Ohlins shock and springs are in. Get it set up right then !. Shame to hear of the scrape.

    *****aftermarket ecu flash*****

    Been reading this trhead with interest. Its a line I have been thinking about a great deal. Nice to see there is a healthy amount of discussion/argument/disagreement/issues etc. Good to see what looks like an argument generating into healthy debate :D ! Im going down the suspension route first...

    ECU update

    Sounds like they are actually LISTENING to what owners [and press] are saying. Lets face it, in this day and age of technology, it should never have been released like it is. Don't get me wrong, I love my empty, but find myself on occasion concentrating more on being very careful on opening the...

    New MT09 products

    Ive got the front extenda from Pyramid. Brilliant. A rear one too. Ok ish but better than the standard offering. [you need to rivet or screw it on as well as glue it and remember to read the instructions that it takes about 4-6 hours to set hence screws as well] I have had emails from Pyramid...

    MT09 Flyscreen

    Arai Chaser helmet. The same screen you are looking at. Fine on motorway cruising at "ahem" 70 ish mph. Slight buffeting but nothing to worry about. I like it myself.

Word of warning though.Do NOT trust th glue supplied for the rear one. A couple of self tapper screws is need...

    Guess who has "Rattle" on the bike??

    Mine is only 2 months old and 1K miles. It rattles a bit on cold start up but quietens down when warm. I have done the old right knee out, decelerate/accelerate and she s nice and quiet. Ill make a right noise myself if the Tensioner starts rattling !

    2 months and a Thousand miles later

    023s will be my next tyres on I thin. Had them on the Thundercat and felt confidant in them as soon as they were scrubbed in. Mind you, till they WERE scrubbed in there were a few 5p £2 moments ! Either those or the T20s ? I don't ride hard enough for S20s. Glad I got one with S20 s on rather...
