Dzjiepie's MT-09

The Dark side of Dzjiepie

This picture is on the Facebook page of Yamaha Nederland, because mine is the first registered MT in The Netherlands.

A gift from the dealer because I am such a nice guy

This tread I will use to keep you all informed of modifications, adjustments, experienses (only good one's I hope) loves and hates, pics and stories of me and my MT.

First of all I wanted to get rid of the footpegs in the rear.

I started with heating the bolts with a soldering gun, and removed the bolts.
I screwed in new bolts from the inside and put on "headbolts".

This is how it looks now.

The bolts on the right side I also heated with the soldering gun.
When I tried to loosen the bolts I destroyed both of them.
So I had to drill the heads of the bolt.

The breakfluidreservoir I relocated to the front.
I used one thick wacher and some thin one's to create some space so the reservoir doesn't touch the bike.
It made no changes to the breakhoses.

The place where Yamaha-san put the horn was in my opion not the best place, so .........

Took the horn of.

And put it behind the left "airintake".

Up untill now I have 330km on the ODO. Not 1 km in dry conditions, and in cold weather.
To keep my hands out of the wind, I bought .......

All bolts, spacers etc are included,

This is the way it should be mounted.

And this is the result.
This took me 15 minutes.

Last saturday on the move

Off course it was raining

Following the river "Schelde"
