Hi all,
As i've recently upgraded my MT to a Tracer, i have now the Street Rally seat left over, and offering it up for sale to the forum here.
The seat is one year old, and to me, it is a vast improvement from the standard seat, even on long journeys. i've done Th'Alps and lately mid-Germany...

Hi Guys,
Have any of you had any dealings with the Premier Yamaha dealer in Chorley (near Preston, Lancashire, if anyone should be in doubt)?
Thinking of replacing the MT-09 with a newer, just want to hear of there is any inputs to take into consideration with this dealer
Cheers,
Is this occurring, as it does on the MT-09?
I refer to the case, where you have the bike out in the rain, and the spray from the rear wheel ends up and giving you a very wet experience on your bum! :-)
Is that sorted with the bigger rear of the Tracer?
Hi guys,
A month ago, me and my better half went to Th'Alps for a biking holiday, on each our MT-09's.
We had booked a self guided tour with a known tour operator, and route would be around 2300 miles.
On the 5th of July, we set off to the channel, for an early start at the Eurotunnel.
First...
Hi guys,
I heard something about there is two baffles with the Akra.
Have any other heard of this?
Wonder because we can get it the last 5 mm, and can see this inside the 'zost:
Is this the other baffle, and do we need to get that out before inserting the bigger baffle?
Got my mate convinced to check out from his old Honda, and after a 2 mile test ride on mine, he was converted...
Last Sunday we went to SMC Bikes and got a great deal for a plain deep purple MT.
Well home the following day, YouTube was ploughed through as to look for accessories.
Another call...
...I noticed this morning, that my average fuel consumption looked a bit odd, and thought "oh it much be showing l/100km" and clicked away to show the instantaneous consumption.
On my way home from work, in a set of lights that always take forever to shift, I clicked around the dashboard again...
I have installed a USB charger on the handlebars, handy for keeping power to the phone, camera, GPS etc..
This particular one, i found on eBay, but i take that the original will also work (albeit, for a higher price..)
Many of the chargers you can find, do actually recommend you to attach...
Time to prepare for the big Tour to Th'Alps in July...
Have anyone got the either GPS mount or the iPhone case holder on their bike yet?
Considering to get either:
1) Garmin Zümo 390LM
2) TomTom Rider 2013
3) Keep using my iPhone-with-case-on-handlebars
I've just been "dawn sarf" today.
Had a stop in High Wycombe.
On the way home, going from the station back up to M40, I'm overtaken by a fellow MT rider, around 17:15
So with this thread, I was just thinking, we could have a "I saw one - was it you?"-thread..
Game is open :)
For a long time, I have just started the bike and never really bothered about the mode-button.
The last couple of days, I have tried to ride in A-Mode, and even the smile got seriously big and wide, I noticed, that when I looked down on the fuel-mileage-o-meter, it apperared to have about 20%...
So, 67 MT-09's registered in UK in 2013Q3 - looking forward to see the numbers for Q4!
YAMAHA MT - 09 - How Many Left?
Interesting to see though, that the FZ8 have increased sales quarter on quarter. Wonder if we will see the curve pointing downwards soon?
621 units is not bad. MT-09 only...
Hi all you fellow MT/FZ riders,
Many of us have had an early Christmas gift, when we got our MT ;)
I really hope, that there will be extra gifts under the tree, weather you've had yours tonight (24th) or they are due tomorrow morning (25th).
I'm in a totally mixed mode, as I had my birthday...
Found this on an Italian page:
Yamaha crossover, ecco un teaser ?animato?. Sta arrivando l'erede della TDM 900?
If you are not familiar with Italian language, Google Translate my give you a few hints...\
...but in short essence... Is it a new TDM 900 version built on our great MT-09?
The TDM...
Have you been riding your MT lately in the autumn elements, and noticed that the rear half gets dirty very fast?
I have a slight theory, that the hugger is too short, and not able to stop the spray. It just starts developing my OCD, and not really interested in that "hobby"!
Those of you, who...
