engine

Hi everybody. I have an MT09 still running stock everything. After 7000km, it start to very hard to start when the engine warm and when i fill up my tank. I spend my time to firgure it out. I ride for a while, mostly cruise in the city. When the engine hit 105, fan kick in. I kill the engine...

Good day, coleagues, I am new here, new with motorcycles and new with tracer 2016. I have one annoing feeling with my bike. When I am riding at constant speed and at constant engine rpm, i feel stretching/twitching/surging. When I am slowing or accelerating everything is ok. The chain also is...

From time to time, I’ve experienced the much-reported stalling issue. My bike can go for months without it happening and then do it two or three times in a week. It mostly does it when I’m still moving. For example, I’ll be slowing down for traffic lights and as I pull in the clutch to stop, the...

I love the engine on the Tracer but I know because of EU emissions laws the poor thing is being strangled, and a recent 1600 mile trip down to the French Pyrenees just confirmed this. On the slow twisty mountain passes in low gear the engine felt as if it was constantly "searching" and not...

I was taking my bike out for a spin, a couple of days ago, when suddenly there was a strange grinding :eek: sound and the engine cut off. Immediately I pulled over with the bike is steaming up from burned oil, which leaked over the hot exhaust pipes. I had no idea what went wrong, and where...

Had a go on a XSR900 and fell in love with that engine!! Can't wait to get hold of my MT on Saturday or maybe sooner! Mark Redditch

Hi All, Just joined the forum as test rode a MT09 Tracer yesterday and wanted to ask you long termers a question about cruising speed and engine speed. I had a good hour on the bike, including A roads, B roads and motorway. I won't go over throttle or screen issues as they have been done to...

I didn't know that these bike existed till recently. I'll probably will have at one time but never took any notice. anyway I went into the showroom and sat on one. it felt so light and low,the seat is a bit of a plank though;) I like the overall look. looking at pictures I wasn't sure of the...

my name is john. I dont currently own a MT07 but will be buying the tracer 700 which share the same engine as the MT07. so hopefully I'l be welcome to the forum. john

Just part ex'd my old Fz1 for an orange 2015 model. Engine is fantastic. Handling is something I'm still getting used to. I think my first move might be getting a custom flash from somewhere local to Hampshire. Although I have bought a few goodies. Seat cowl engine protectors and a few other...

Hi there, just back from a "spirited" 4 days in the Germany/Luxembourg area and I found a rather hideous problem when I was down changing using engine braking into hairpins, especially on the downhill sections when the back wheel locked up momentarily when going into 1st. At lower revs, not a...

I just got a new tracer and did 400 miles over the week. Here are my first impressions. As background, I'm 56 years old, riding +40 years all kind of bikes, but leaning towards trailies. Last bike was a 650 V-Strom. With the Tracer, I was attracted by the 3 cylinder engine, low weight, and the...

Hello everyone, While riding my eye caught the Hi temp light flashing on the right screen of the tacho... i pulled over and switch off the engine. radiator fluid on the right side of the engine. the problem was a hole on the radiator from a little rock i suppose... after a few seconds i turned...

can any one tell me what the inter mitten whine is from the engine on tick over. have not had bike long. i did hear it on the demo bike i tried before i bought this one. it sounds as though it comes from the clutch housing. many thanks for any imfo

Hi Everyone, I know its been a while since I posted here, but we have been busily developing new products for the Tracer. New Flip Screen Headlight Protectors (Main Lights & For S W Motech Fog Lights) Fairing Lowers for Bikes Without Yamaha Engine Protectors Fairing Lowers for Bikes...

I was browsing eBay today, looking at custom parts, when I came across a couple of ads, from breakers, for MT07 engines. They were asking the thick end of £1,000. :eek: Thing is, these bikes are all relatively new and mostly still under warranty. In the very unlikely event of an engine problem...

Hi everyone, im Kim from Norway! Traded in my 2002 Yamaha XT600e this year for a brand new MT09. Im very happy with the bike so far, but i have a question in regards to warranty. This might be asked several times before, but i cant find the answer im looking for. I asked my dealer if i needed a...

After over an hour of hot air and uninspiring presenters we finally got what we were waiting for. I've got to say I'm so happy I wasn't sitting in the audience cos I'd have slept through the exciting bit. So, speculation over. It's an R1 engine in an MT package, well done if you guessed that...

I ‘ve been visiting this forum a few times and finally decided to become a member. End of march, I picked up my Matt Silver Race Blue MT-07. After having ridden Buells for more than 16 years and after a severe engine breakdown on my last one, I had to make choices. There was the high cost of...

I've purchased a couple of the cree u5 foglamps (2pcs 125W 3000LM CREE U5 Motorcycle Motorbike Headlight LED Fog Spot Light Bulb | eBay), I'm figuring on making a pair of brackets to fit via the engine mounting points similar to crash bungs. I'm wondering if using acetal (Delrin) or nylon for...
