plate

Hi guys, I wanted to take of my rear wheel to balance it as I had a small crash and the wheel wasn't balanced anymore. I loosed up the nut and made around 3 turns. After which the nut got stuck. I thought that I need to use the bigger wrench so I got it. It went a little more but the align...

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone else has noticed the clutch plate noise when the bikes in N and clutch fully out? The noise goes away while the clutch is in. I asked the dealer at it 1000k service and they said its normal in all the MT09's... Is this so?

Hello fellow fanatics. I've been a guest checking out the forum for a few weeks now but just become fully fledged. Have a new blazing orange MT09 being delivered (part ex'ing current ride) a week today. I'm based in South West London so if you see a 65 plate blazing orange with a rider grinning...

hi everyone my name is chris I am 55 just got a an mt09 on a 15 plate traded in my 15 plate mt07 for it from slocombes in London only had it a few months just got back into bikes had a fair few strokers in the eighties :D

Just fitted an R&G tail tidy, reasonably easy to install. The only problem i found was that the mounting holes on the main bracket did not align correctly with the mounting holes on the cover plate. I ended up having to enlarge the holes on the cover plate, i used a 7mm drill bit.

hello all, im picking up my mt09 tracer thursday this week, can you remove the long bracket inbetween the plate holder and bolt the existing mount under the seat? or do i need a tail tidy? thanks in advance :)

Hiya everyone, My names Mark, i live in the West Midlands............ traded my Bandit 1200 yesterday for a 14 plate MT-09, gotta say i'm impressed

Someone in aerodynamics told me the wind resistance should be fine up to 100 mph on the MT-07 because the bike will be in the "Flat Plate Area". That makes sense to me because when I had my 1977 Yamaha RD 400, I could take it up to 100 mph without a problem. If this is indeed true, I see no...

Hi guys :) So I've decided on the MT09 - was considering the MT07 but I honestly think the 09 looks heaps better visually, and the extra power of the engine sounds lovely. I want one in race blue, but they had to introduce a new colour scheme didn't they!? Now I'm in a pickle! To make a long...

I was thinking of booking on the Bike Safe police course as I hear alot of good things. ....however I was wondering if I rock up with my akra (without DB killer) and not quite legal number plate size are they going to 1) turn me away 2) get legal on me!! Thanks

For those of you who want storage once in a while but without the hideous holders around the tail. Pretty simple, a SW-Motech seat rack with 4 holes drilled for the Shad base plate. Then just snap the whole thing on like you do a normal pillion seat. The rubber stoppers underneath are quite...

As per the title this unique plate is for sale, the plate is currently on my MT07. Please DM if you are interested. Looks cracking on the bike! Cheers Matt

Hey, was wondering if anyone knew where to get a license plate holder that goes from swingarm and over (close into) the back wheel. Thanks

Today, I've fitted a tail tidy purchased from eBay and I was very impressed with the quality and clear instructions. In fact, the only thing I didn't like was the stick-on button reflector thrown in for legal reasons, so I got a bolt-on rectangular one and made a bracket that stuck on the back...

Hey guys Picked up my competition white mt07 today First bike, passed my test in October As soon as I got home I started to fit the tail tidy, everything went fine until I tried connecting the number plate illuminator back on It comes with bullet connectors and won't connect with the original...

mate of mine want to get a Tracer but he's having trouble finding anyone that will insure it, other than Yamaha who want nearly £700, he pays less than £300 for his 14 plate CB1000R does anyone on here have a Tracer and who are you insured with ? thanks

Has anyone else having problems with aftermarket accessories? I had ridden my bike about four or five times this year and inevitably picked up some road salt on the bike. I washed it off on Sunday and the bike came up all shiny apart from the Yamaha number plate holder. Very disappointed...

Since our government decided to quadruple the amount of photo-vans starting this year, it is time to get either a laser jammer or a number plate flipper. How reliable are these jammers? or should I just stick with the flipper, since there is plenty of time to react before you pass the van and...

Dear Forum, First of all i come from The Netherlands (amsterdam) so dont blame me on my bad english. Last year in october i bought a R1 2003 and exaclty 1 year after that (yesterday evening) i bought a new MT-09 2015 Race Blu Its just been ordered and the expetations are that mine is gonne be...

So that bit of paper no longer spoils the nice lines of my bike and i'm guessing that's the same for the rest of you guys/girls too (well those in the UK away) but heres the thing...are you running a smaller sized number plate, smaller font than legal etc? I was thinking that now they are more...
