    Last week I installed Kev's O2 controller right after getting the Tracer from the dealer and riding it home for 95 km's through the pouring rain...

    Thinking of coming over to the Dark Side

    2008 I traded in an R6 to get my current CBR600RR. 15000 miles later, its been all over the Alps with me, but I havent been on tour this year, and the bike just seems to be sat in my garage. The weather in the north of the UK doesnt help, nor do dangerous inattentive car drivers. And at 62, I am...

    Good riddance MT09,,,, Hello Hayabusa

    Well sorry to say I just couldn't get on with the MT09 anymore, I brought a 64 plate with 847 miles on the clock on the 2/6/15 from a local bike shop in very standard trim, that standard the previous owner had left the sticker on the tank and the suspension was still set in bouncy castle mode...

    Hi all my fellow MT fans, long time since I've stopped by. Well I've finally taken the plunge and splashed the cash on an aftermarket exhaust and as much as I wanted to save money and go with the Akra carbon racing line, I also wanted to stay legal and get a certified legal system so went with...

    The "moocher" checks in

    Hello all, moocher here. I collected the Tracer on 9th July, three dry days helped me put 415 miles on the clock and now we are in for a wet week so it'll stay in the garage for a bit. I am impressed with the stability and handling over these cracked, lumpy, pot-holed roads. The fuelling seems...

    injection system balancing

    does the MT09 need this done ? my Street Triple did during servicing, well it was checked and adjusted if needs be, which it did need as it was "miles out" according to the technician at Fowlers and it must have cos the bike felt much smoother when I got it back.
