Hello mate and welcome. I've been looking for a rad guard for mine and from what some others say, the Evotech one looks a good bet and one I'm going to get Yamaha MT-09 Radiator Guard - Evotech Performance cheers, Andy
Some very good, positive comments made by all the other guys. Just ride within your limits, dont be drawn in to riding like a loon, build your confidence over time and you'll be just fine. It is quite a powerful bike compared to what you've just left but at the end of the day its the rider who...
Couldn't agree more. Much smoother power delivery after the remap and more 'usable' , although I guess its each to their own and each bike has its own character. Suits me though. Cheers
Damn, wish I'd known that! And that Yamaha are now throwing in a free Akropovic system. Grrrr! Any road up, got mine on PCP as I couldnt hang on til I saved up. But thats just me. And now its gonna rain all weekend so I'll just stay in and polish it. hehe
I got it free on Blinkbox when I bought a Hudl2 tablet so not sure if/when it'l be on digital tv. A great film if you like real road racing (or just bikes for that matter) and its incredibly moving in parts. Anyway, wont spoil it. If I hadn't got it for free I would buy it.
Great documentary about the Dunlop family, Joey/Robert/William/Michael. A fascinating, enthralling and somewhat tragic story of an amazing real road racing family. Definitely worth watching.
Oh, and Closer To The Edge is also excellent.

I'll stop there.
They certainly are a great bit of kit. Got the original stand for my Aprilia Mille and made chain cleaning etc so much easier. Only just realised they do the kit for the MT09. Must get the front wheel lifter at the end of the year.
Just a quick post to say I got an ABBA superbike stand fitting kit for my MT09 in the post today, and its excellent! Perfect fit and I like the way the funny cut-out bit for the left side of the swingarm pivot is urethane so it doesn't damage the paint. Ordered direct from their website. Good...
