bit

Hi Everbody Just got a 15 plate Tracer in Dark Grey.I came from a CBF1000FAC so Tracer will take a bit to get used to.Only done 60 miles so far and all is Good.

Is it just me or is this just not a very friendly forum, maybe one or two will have a wee bit of banter BUTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!

Now this is not something I've seen anyone else write about so maybe it's just me..... I find that when sitting back in the wider part of the seat I inevitably get tilted forward a bit after some time which gets quite uncomfortable as it pushes me onto the gentlemen's area too much over an hour...

Just taken a look at the new range of MT clothing, seems to have grown quite a bit from a couple of years back. Think I might have to make a purchase. I've got a pair of MT cargo pants - size 33 waist, washed a few times so some fade but have all the protectors and in good condition if anyone...

Hey guys. I'm new to the forum but I've visited here regularly since there's a vast pool of know-how. I'm from South Africa and about a year ago bought a 2014 MT09. Came with full system akra and 1500km on the clock. I've changed quite a bit but will post in the mods section. Just wanted to say...

Hello,just joined having picked up my early 2015 mt09 a couple of weeks ago.Hope to learn a bit about the new bike .Last bike was a 2008 street triple.

HI all, new to this forum, pick my new toy up in a couple of days, new tracer :cool: was riding sports bikes for aprox 15 years, but now im getting on a bit :) tourer/adventure bikes the way forward now. will probably be asking for lots of advice regarding changing parts and set up etc...

Hi Picked up my new MT07 on Saturday, with Givi top box installed by dealer. However, looking at it, the Givi rack only appears to be bolted on in 4 places, all of which are exposed - so a thief with an Allen key and a spanner could have the whole box and rack off in minutes. Is this really...

I really feel a bit embarrassed asking this as I'm not a typical rider. Due to family issues and the mighty xt I've only covered around 2k since I've had her and only seen rain once "the day I picked her up" ffs Anyway, still love the bike and had no issues eg starts on the button and no...

Hi All, My MT-09 is the first bike I have owned and wondered if anyone could share any tips on cleaning, not too much in detail just general cleaning after a bit of a dirty ride maybe. Currently the chain etc. looks a bit grubby so I wouldn't mind giving that a thorough clean. If anyone...

Hello, I'm from Germany an get a Mt-09 Tracer in a couple of weeks. Hope the spring started a little bit faster. Greeting Michael

Out for two or three hours today, only 3 days after the highest rain fall since records began, and in the UK that's a fair bit of damp, many small places still cut off power off road washed away and so on still blowing a half gale 50 mph this afternoon water flowing off the fields across the...

I have been looking at a 2015 FZ- 07, I started wondering about it and my current FZ6R; how does the performance and handling compare... The FZ6R engine is only 600cc; but it is an inline 4 cylinder and it has a tuned-down version of Yamaha's race bike (R6) engine.. I like Yamaha's current...

make the hazard lights only work with the ignition on ? thanks to that my battery went flat on Sunday, mate had an off so I left my bike at the corner to warn traffic, fortunately it was on a bit of a slope and just managed to bump it before the slope became an incline another great idea from...

Deposit placed on a new MT09 in blue.:) For me the blue is the best of a bad bunch of colours. The wide & narrow stripes on the tank didnt do anything for me. Arrives in a week or so. All I need now are some fine days for a good ride out into the Yorkshire Dales. That reminds me, running in...

Does anyone know if you can reuse the exhaust gaskets, or do you always need to replace? I'm currently modding a standard 2nd can bought of Ebay, will probably be changing it about quite a bit, so would be handy if I didnt have to buy new gaskets every time i swapped. I know some bikes use crush...

Picked up my grey year old MT09 a week ago. I had been watching it in my local bike shop for a while and finally decided to sell my TL1000S so I could buy it..........thankfully the bike shop had not advertised it beyond their website as I am sure it would have sold quickly otherwise with all...

Hey everyone, I've found myself on this forum a few times as a guest looking for tips/info, but finally got round to signing up! I picked up my Silver/Race Blue MT07 mid-March and am loving every minute spent with him (it's a boy). I'm fast approaching 4000 miles already which surprised me...

hi all , just a quickie , had first service and the mechanic said that he had adjusted the clutch , ok no big dramas . the other night whilst cleaning the MT I noticed the adjuster on the lever and was a bit surprised to see how much of the adjuster has been used so far !! (see photo ) has...

Hey folks, need a bit of an advice here. I'm on the market for my MT-07 as I pretty like the bike. Not sure if I really want to go with "Moto cage" as it seems a bit cheesy to me... Please let me know your thoughts Also, got my full A couple of weeks ago - is it worth considering MT-09 instead...
