engine

Chatting to a dealer today and he said there was to be an announcement of a new bike on Friday or Saturday before the Milan Show. He at first thought it might be a four cylinder Tracer but has seen details of a snowmobile or an all terrain vehicle that has a 1000cc three cylinder engine in it...

Hello to you all, First of all sorry for my poor english :) I bought an Mt 07 two months ago... I already have almost 500 km. Few days ago i noticed a strange noise from my engine! I visited my dealer and told me that the noise is normal, but i wasn't convinced! Pls take a look at the video...

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...

(Originally posted on the Fazer forum Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner) Two weeks ago I was in Spain on my Summer holidays and while I was there, I rented a Tracer for three days from MotoMercardo Motomercado Motorcycle rental Spain, Motorbike Rental Malaga, Motor Bike Hire, Motorverhuur Spanje Malaga in...

last week i did my 1 year service and used yamahas 10w40 full synth oil, I had done about 150klm and noticed at full operating temp the engine was noisy-er than usual tappet rattle chain tick gear box roll over noise in neutral and harshness at mid torque in the rev range bit the bullet and...

Has anyone added the Tracer Hepco and Becker Engine Bars and have any better photos than the close up ones on the site please? I would like to protect the side of tank if possible as I do alot of camping and slipping on wet grass is cetainly possible judging from my last 2 bikes

i have done about 2000 miles now but as soon as i hit about 1600 i had two occasions where the engine would stall for no reason. took it to the dealer and they didn't have a clue. first time i was riding up my road, started slowing down from 30/35mph to pull on to my drive, went from 3rd to 2nd...

I have noticed that the engine temperature reading fluctuates quite a bit when riding.. Once the engine is hot, it could fluctuate between 67 - 88 degrees C depending on riding conditions. (movement or stationary..) Is this normal..? or do I have a problem? I am more use to Honda that stays...

Yamaha's own lower engine casing protectors part number IRC-211D0-00-00 priced at £182 form Yamaha or £154 from a site called "yamabits". Will sell for £100 plus postage. These protectors are in mint condition

Hi all, I have noticed that I have an engine rattle between 2 and 3000 rpm, anyone else heard this?? Will mention it to dealer next Monday during service and defect rectification but am expecting 'that's a characteristic of the bike' reply. Any thoughts would be appreciated

Hi Folks 600 miles in on my MT09 Tracer and i've had clutch judder from day 1. Looking to you guys to see if this is a normal for the cp3 engine. For those who don't know what clutch judder is apply the front brake select 1st gear and slowly release the clutch to load the engine slightly then...

I am thinking of buying the akrapovic carbon and i am gonna use it without db killer. Is a power comander/similar product necessary or its a plug and play thing? I dont want to damage the engine and i know nothing of such things (power comanders, exhausts , etch.). Thnx in advance.

I've just had my Akra titanium installed. I'm not an expert but where the pipes go into the engine there is a small space seen by the difference in color on the pipes. Are the pipes fitted correctly or should they have been pushed a bit more in up to the small rim that goes around them? The...

Hi so my new babe had her first run out yesterday did about 100 miles , and I quickly noticed that in standard mode when rolling the throttle open to power up out of the corners it was very jerky and nearly ended up in the hedge a couple of times . Now I know this is a fairly well known problem...

Hello guys and gals, Can anyone explain to me the differences on the new model? I know about the new colour schemes and a few minor cosmetic adjustments but wondered what the new 'flat' seat is like. Also heard they made changes to the engine?! If so how does it behave? I'm about to buy one...

Anyone tried ceramic exhaust/manifold heat coating.... Comes in various colours and finish looks good Performance 1 Coatings Apparently it's more efficient for the engine.... Plus touch is cooler... Not that expensive either... Improved looks Reduced heat loss Reduced heat soak Increased...

Well I have been considering engine protection for a while now got all the crash bungs fitted. So I have fitted woodcraft engine covers before and I know from experience they work more than the nylon bolton external protectors. Biketorque racing are the sole supplier as far as I know and they...

As the title says i just did the 10.000km service in my MT.. After long discusion with my "oil guy" i bought ELF MotoTech 10w50 again. The reason is that for 5000km i had smooth and quite changes in gearbox, stable engine temperatures and when it came out was silky and oily a lot when i touch...

Hi! I just bought the MT-07 (rare combination of black frame with deep armor components, pretty awesome) with an Akropovic exhaust and separate DNA air filter. Before installing the sweet stuff I would like to know which option is better for the bike's engine: Install right away with 0 km and...
