Hello all, I am in the process of looking at swapping out my Hayabusa for a an MT 09. I was just wondering how members have found ownership as I know the reviews are very good for most of the bike but there are issues with the slow speed snatchy throttle and the suspension being a little...
Now this is not something I've seen anyone else write about so maybe it's just me.....
I find that when sitting back in the wider part of the seat I inevitably get tilted forward a bit after some time which gets quite uncomfortable as it pushes me onto the gentlemen's area too much over an hour...
Had a couple of hours in the man cave tonight. Fitting some long awaited bits.
Yamahas GPS Mount. This is actually from an MT-10 as the MT-09 one doesn't fit correctly apparently. Yamaha also show it fitted to the 2 bolts nearest the rider but I think it looks better to the front of the bike...
Hi Guys ...
Picked a new Mt about 6 weeks ago as the deal was too good to be true...loving the bike ...have several others but this has a characteristic all of its own and is a hoot
Interested to see what mods are available

I've had the tracer a few months now and I am very pleased with it but it needed some mods especially the suspesion so I started with Andreani fork cartridges which I am pleased with the results,I did think the front was worse than the rear but after fitting the k-tech razor R rear shock last...
Rather than listing in everyone else threads for their mods, thought I'd post all the mods I've done to mine here on one place.

I'm picking my MT09 up very soon (WHOOP! WHOOP!) and I cant wait till I get my hands on it.
I've gone for the orange and the only option I have selected to be fitted is the AKRO exhaust (gotta have a loud pipe lol).
Really keen to do a few...

Hi All
Just found this board on t'internet and thought it looked good. I had my first ride out on my new Tracer this morning and I must say I'm really pleased with it. I traded my October 2013 pre abs MT 09 in for it after seeing the Tracer at the NEC bike show and deciding I had to have one...
Hi everybody just come from a KTM SDR to a MT-09 .
Moved to the Sit ups after years with the 1000cc sportsbikes and wished id done it earlier.
Never had a Triple before and for road riding its the dogs.
To be honest thought coming from the SDR to the MT would be abit lame but after some mods...
