What are the common problems?

[limmy]

Hi guys? I'm contemplating getting a MT09 Tracer and was wondering what are the common problems people are complaining about?

I had a look at Technical forum but I didn't notice a common theme.

TIA.

It's Japanese so it should be very reliable,only problem I've had is the screen causes wind noise but that's just a case of changing the screen,the suspension for Normal riding is fine but on bumpy twistie roads going quickly it gets a little bit out of shape,Ive found they clean up nice and all the stainless steel looks good quality,it's a great bike really and if you test ride one my guess is you will buy one.what bike have you got now?.

The seat's hard but softens up over a bit, the suspension settings are harsh but easily sorted, the stock tyres are crap in the rain (easily sorted again!)

Other then that it's a belter! Just back from a 4 day trip round Germany and Luxembourg and the bike was fantastic, especially in A mode

Go for a test ride, you'll want one. I changed my VFR12 for a Tracer and haven't looked back

Oh yeah, the screen.

I thought it was noisy at the start then found that I hadn't fitted my visor properly after fitting a pinlock. Once sorted and the lid sealed properly, no problems

The early MT's had dodgy CCT, I believe most of these were sorted under warrenty. Hopefully new bikes are now sorted
