I have a 2013 MT09, I have owned from new, and its covered 37500 miles. Today the clocks/dash started to fail and froze up. After stopping and restarting the bike, the bike runs fine, the neutral/indicator/main beam idiot lights work, the screen lights up but there is nothing showing on the...

Changed the original chain & sprockets last night, chain was getting tightspots, and setting the chain slack at the tight spot meant I was getting about 50mm slack at the loose spots! Used one of those cheap ebay breaker/riviter tools (about £12) and everything went well, soft link flared out...

Need to change chain and sprockets soon, now done 29000 miles and starting to get a tight spot. I have a choice of DID VX gold chain X ring with Afam sprockets, or same DID chain with JT sprockets. Only £1 difference between them, just wondered if JT or Afam or better? They are selling for £98...

Anyone here use Yamalube silicone spray? or a generic silicone spray? At my last service in November, mt dealer covered my bike in this, so the frame,plastics and matt grey tank looked really good. 3 months later any many washes, it still looks good, and seems to repel the dirt and water (still...

Bike now done over 21000 miles, and the pads are getting low. I have a 2013 non ABS model, and am happy with the braking performance. The OE pads are £33 a set from my dealer, £19 for the EBC similar parts, or Pyramid parts sell the full set, front & rear, for £29 (link below). I will probably...

Changed my sidelight bulbs from the standard, old style bulbs for LED sidelights as they look much better, ie white light not the yellow. photo attached so you can see the 2 different types Problem is now the standard 55/60w H4 bulb looks yellow. Whats the best thing to change it for, was...

Has anyone fitted a Renntec luggage rack to their MT? They seem cheap on Ebay, and look like they would do the job, with the bonus you could ditch the topbox and bungee some rolltops to the rack, and have a passenger grabrail Would like to hear opinions or experience, and especially if any...

Booked in for track evening coming Monday. I have a new set of Michelin Pilot Road 3's fitted recently. Just wondered whats the best pressure to run these at? Was thinking around the 32/32 mark

Evening, will need to replace the tyres soon. Currently running the S20's, I did try Bridgestone BT023's the other year, and they caused a massive speed wobble. I spoke to the Bridgestone technicians about it at the time, and their response was as they dont recommend it for the MT09, they took...

Finally managed to modify my standard exhaust. Bought one of Ebay for £62, cut the top of it and removed some internal pipework. Had a local fabricator reweld it back on for £20 Took about an hour to remove my original and refit my modified one I did a sound test before and after with my a...

Spoke to my dealer today, he quoted £185 for 12000 mile service, so same price as 6000 mile service. Just wondered if they changed plugs at this one, I have checked my handbook and it says they are replaced. I am also wondering on servicing it my self now, it will be 2 years old in a couple of...

Does anyone know if you can reuse the exhaust gaskets, or do you always need to replace? I'm currently modding a standard 2nd can bought of Ebay, will probably be changing it about quite a bit, so would be handy if I didnt have to buy new gaskets every time i swapped. I know some bikes use crush...

Anyone got the scorpion carbon taper exhaust? Selling on Ebay for £350, I have read all the description and it doesn't state you have to cut your old exhaust to fit it to. It reads to me like a full system, and states just fit and ride Anyone know anything about them, as £350 seems a great price...

Breaker selling MT09 bits on Ebay. Some of the stuff seems really expensive, I would have thought some of the bits would be cheaper new from Yamaha! eg exhaust shroud for £150, £300 for the fuel pump! I suppose £2000 for a 5000 mile engine isnt bad USED Yamaha Parts, Yamaha items in mt09 store...

This is the first review if the MT09 tracer I have seen, very positive from Superbike magazine First Ride – Yamaha MT-09 Tracer | Superbike

just picked up next years brochure for the MT range, and apart from the looks of the tracer, main differences are: 1 the tracer has switchable traction control 2 its got an 18 litre tank 3 totally different clocks, the brochure describes it as a multifunction dot matrix instrument panel 4 LED...

Interesting article on BBC website, French bloke has gone 207mph on his homemade, rocket powered pushbike, it took 4.7 seconds to reach top speed! He's hoping to get funding to build a modified version that will top 250mph in under 2 seconds, burning hydrogen peroxide and vegetable oil! What a...
