Guess what?
I just got a private message from another guy in Israel who had the same experience last night. Was just driving around when suddenly *crack*, smoke everywhere and a hole in the engine block...
I still don't know the exact details regarding number of kilometers ridden on the bike...

That's as far as I can go, seeing that I have no more insight or understanding other than what I've already posted. Now that all the evidence has been spread out, I'd really appreciate a...
Update time.
To keep a long story short... after much back and forth and phone calls, the local Yamaha dealer said that that there is no way they'll take responsibility for my engine due to the exhaust and fuelling changes that I've done.
At first they offered was to open up the engine and...
Unfortunately no.
Last week I got a call from the mechanic a couple of days after giving in the bike. My first question was "Should I be sitting down for the news?" :D
He told me that he got authorisation from Yamaha Israel to open up my engine. At first I was surprised that he needed...
Following my letter (and a post in a very public forum in Israel) I got a phone call from the local head Yamaha dealer the other day.
Although the bike is not under warranty they offered to inspect my engine, free of charge. If they find the problem to be a manufacturing defect, they'll...
I was taking my bike out for a spin, a couple of days ago, when suddenly there was a strange grinding :eek: sound and the engine cut off.
Immediately I pulled over with the bike is steaming up from burned oil, which leaked over the hot exhaust pipes.
I had no idea what went wrong, and where...
Had the exact same issue. Bought a gear position sensor for 40$, and its like new. Unfortunately i was out of warranty already...

Run a search for "high speed wobble", its not uncommon on the MT09. But it only refers to high speeds, not 70mph...

Hi,
I've got myself one of the FlashTune kits and want to tune my TPS/RPM table, but have run into an issue when logging the data.
The problem is that the TPS seems to have a lag, such that when I open the accelerator the TPS takes it's time to rise to the designated value, and while the TPS...
Could that be the ABS kicking in? The rear ABS is quite sensitive on my MT09, slightly too much pressure on the rear brake and you feel it pulsating.
Try riding on a straight line (even slowly) in a safe place and slam on the rear brake, see if that is the same feeling.
I had the sane problem when my bike was new. At my first maintenance the mechanic did a throttle body sync, and it's never happened since. I dont know if he also did anything else, that helped...
