change

I watched a video for removing the plastics. Unfortunately it was on a 2015-2017 model. The 2018 seems to be a little different. Has anyone pulled the plastics on theirs that can help me. I am at 14k miles and want to change my plugs.

Hi all. Anybody changed the plugs on their bike themselves? Seems a bit of pain to do by taking the tank off method. However just seen some comments on a youtube video which questioned the amount of work involved when you can simply undo 2 radiator bolts, unplug the fan and hey presto the...

I used fully synthetic oil on my 6k service. Just wondering if I can use semi synthetic oil on my next change or do I have to use fully synth every time once fully is used? Thanks. Sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't find what I was looking for in search.

Currently on tour (with no handbook) in France and really need to change to Kilometres Please can someone post the button sequence

Anyone ever had to burp the oil filter after doing an oil & Filter change?

Hi - Does everyones dash display Litres Per 100 kilometres on the average use, instead of a miles per gallon figure? ...Either this normal, I have an import(No, I haven't!), or Yam have saved a couple of Yen by not giving the UK miles per gallon. Perhaps I can change it, but as yet haven't found...

I may be returning to live in the UK in the new year. Question Will I be able to have my bike registered on British plates and will it pass an MOT if the speedometer (Digital readout)is only in KPH. Unlike UK spec bikes which you can change from MPH to KPH at the push of a button EU spec bikes...

Got my CBT booked for 7th Jan. Once passed I'll get the theory booked and the DAS. Been to Yamaha in Flitwick today to buy some clothing and a helmet. They are my local dealer which is handy too. The MT 07 will be my first bike. I'm 41 now, so after owning 33 cars I think it's time for a...

Anyone else think this is bent down maybe the cause of my gear change problems

Next week I will be doing my first oil change on the MT09. I like to change it just before winter and just before summer. I was looking at the service manual I got with the bike (on a USB stick - very handy!!!) and it says that the torque settings on the sump bolt is 43nm :confused: this must be...

Hi folks can someone do me a favour. Check to see how you change the odometer from MPH to KPH. Reason for asking is I am sure it can be done on a UK model bike, but as my bike was for the EU market I do not think it is possible. I have asked on the MT09 FB page France and the replies I have had...

Hello, My bike got new tires after 15k km. I went from original Bridgestones for Michelin PR4 (based on discussions here). I just did 10km ride on them and the bike feel really different when turning/leaning (slow speed, little lean). The bike is quicker to lean and in the actual lean the rear...

Hi everyone I knew that my mt had to be serviced at 600 miles but i have just noticed in my service book that it says 600 miles or 6 weeks .I have had her about 9 weeks now and only done 130 miles because the weathers been shite everytime i am off work. and an oil change with so few miles doesnt...

Hi, i am newbie, i want to change my chain . Any one can help me to find chain kit on ebay please

A swedish dude saying hello! Last season I was trying out various bikes to find my next one. Kawasaki Z1000, Honda CB1000R, BMW S1000R, Suzuki GSX S1000, GSR750 and Ducati Monster 821. In the end I decided for GSX S1000. I like the seat position, engine sound, the slick gearbox och the red and...

hey guys! This is my first motorcycle and I got a quick question. Pressuming that the maintenance of the chain has been performed in an OK way. How long does a chain usually last before it's time to change chain? I know it will also vary depending on if you've done track days or desert riding...

Boots sold

Evening all I stuck a pair of the lovely Ohlins springs in the front and kept the oil the same so as to change one thing at a time. I'm now ready to change the oil for something thicker. Anyone got any experience of this and any advice/tips etc. Ta much, Fluke

I know, I know; more stuff on flashing, sorry. I searched all over the forum but couldn't find answers to the below, so would appreciate some advice. A few questions on the various options I can choose for an ECU flash - what do they mean and why would I want it done? 1. Disable AIS valve: I...
