front

how is the speedo driven?? through gears? front drive sprocket??? when I get my Tracer 700 in march next year I intend to change the front sprocket by going up one tooth(if it needs it) more for economy more or less to keep my speeds down. I dont mind if it over read clock say 30 but 28 or...

Looking for some help guys, i have a 16 plate tracer and between 100 and 130 (track days obviously ;) theres a slight wobble and just feels like the front end is ready to break away it just isnt very steady, anyone had same problem? Thanks in advance

Thought I would pop in and say hello... I picked myself up a 2016 MT09 a few months back... Changes so far include: Yamaha fly screen Akra titanium exhaust (baffle has fell out officer) suspension update/sort with Ohlins rear damper on order (done at ES Racing up in Knockhill race track...

Standard Indicators for MT-09 or Tracer For Sale Good condition, not damaged but wire connectors have been removed. However, inner assembly can be transplanted along with wiring if you have damaged bodies. No lens on one unit. £12 for the pair posted.

As the title says I have a hyperpro front and rear Spring kit to fit the Tracer for sale, I had them fitted to the bike less than 200 miles ago but have now part exchanged it for an MT-10 so no use to me anymore! These kits really do transform the ride and handling and are well worth the money...

Thanks to a couple of rookie mistakes (dropped the bike inside my garage) I find I'm in need of a genuine left hand mirror and a front mudguard for my MT-09 so if you have either or both available please give me a shout before I call the dealer for a shock when they give me their price. Thanks.

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...

As per title - front RH footrest wanted (with or without hero blob!) Cheers :cool:

I loved the look of this bike when release a few years back nearly bought one then but needed something I could cover some miles on two up, so 18 moths ago I bought a Triumph Tiger XC great bike and still have it 12000 miles later and all ready for its next adventure. Prior to the Tiger I had a...

Guys, I recently upgraded my 2015 R1 and now have the stock suspension/wheels ( magnesium ) gathering dust in my garage. However, I also have a 2014 MT-09 which I would like to add these parts to if possible. I've already asked my Yamaha dealer about this and they suggested that the...

Hi guys i am new to the forum and i will introduce myself a bit later. I am new to biking and i think i have surely decided to buy MT 07/FZ 07 next to 2008 690 DUKE and i have a question about the offer i got. I am 27 years old Male Height : 189 cm , Weight : 101 kg and i read most of the posts...

I have just checked the wheel alignment on my bike and discovered that it was slightly wrong. I hasten to point out that, since buying it from Gaz2212, this is the first and only thing thing that I have found to be (slightly) wrong. Fortunately, GAZ had fitted Gilles swing arm chain tensioners...

Anyone had this situation? If I place two long straight edges against the rear tyres and then measure the gap from this edge to the front tyre I have a gap of 1/2 inch on near side and 1 1/2 inch on the offside-a difference of about an inch overall. The straight edges I am using are not flexing...

Hi All, Looking for some advice from the mechanically minded, please... In October I decided to upgrade my brake pads - installed a set of Ferodo sintered. I really liked them, I felt the initial bite was better and had better feedback from the front of the bike. In November my bike went for...

Installed the 2005 ZX10R shock, standard MT spring set at stock max preload length, 1.5 turns out from minimum reb and comp, rear end excellent, compliant and controlled $200 NZD mod inc Suzuki Bolt kit. The front end was a bit dearer to sort but still happy. Managed to secure another R/H...

1) on the MT09, after how many km, did you replaced the front brake pads? and are there any good aftermarket pads? 2) Let's say that you can do suspension upgrades only to one end of the motorcycle on the MT09, which one would you modify? Only the front or only the rear and why ? Thank you for...

After hitting a piece of 4" x 4" fence post that some nice lorry driver dropped right in front of me on the motorway, I am now in need of a new front wheel. Can anyone suggest where the best place to get one is please? Fowlups have quoted me a shade over £500. Does that sound about right or what?

I currently have the suspension set up at factory settings, ie everything at mid point. Now I'm no expert but having read a few articles I thought I'd try a sag test. So by measuring the height of the front and rear indicators before and after sitting on the bike I have 25mm at the front and...

My 07 is now a full 1 year old so as part of the service I decided to change the front fork oil, Used Motul SAE5w semi synthetic When i drained the oil forks I noticed 2 things oil level was 15 to 20 mm lower than spec The oil appears to be Automatic trans fluid It smells and feels like ATF...
