riding

Before all the mayhem stars I would like to wish everyone on the forum a happy new year and safe riding in 2016! :cool:

Hi, this is Alan from TW. I own a MT-01 and a Mt-09. happy riding!!!!

Hey Guys, I've been lurking around here for a while now, gathering information on the Tracer to help in my decision making process. Have to thank you for the amount of info.....didn't answer all my questions, but gave me enough to make an informed decision. I've been riding for over 8 years...

Magical Racing's RR mirrors are the ultimate expression of high-end performance enhancements for your MT09. Perfectly crafted from complex 2 piece carbon mirror bodies, and billeted aluminium attachments, they are a true progression from ungainly, heavy OEM mirror units. Firstly, the RR mirrors...

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... So, can't really say something about the bike before the controller (didn't really experienced any annoying snatchiness, many talk about) but with...

Picked up my grey year old MT09 a week ago. I had been watching it in my local bike shop for a while and finally decided to sell my TL1000S so I could buy it..........thankfully the bike shop had not advertised it beyond their website as I am sure it would have sold quickly otherwise with all...

I'm looking at either the Akra or Arrow for my Tracey, but, I have seen a few threads about the Akras hitting the road, seen a few dented ones on ebay as well, how big a problem is this, most of my riding is with a pillion as well?

Just wondered if anyone on here had fitted the lowering kit & if so what's the recomendation from Yamaha about how much the forks should be raised through the top yoke, I'll be fine riding as is on my own but may want to fit the kit & be a bit more sure footed when i tour with the wife!

I have noticed that the engine temperature reading fluctuates quite a bit when riding.. Once the engine is hot, it could fluctuate between 67 - 88 degrees C depending on riding conditions. (movement or stationary..) Is this normal..? or do I have a problem? I am more use to Honda that stays...

Hi all, i'm new to the forum, i took the plunge last Saturday after two test rides & the wife giving pillion seat approval & ordered my Tracer which i should be picking up this coming Saturday, i'm from the Ipswich area in Suffolk & look forward to possibly picking a few brains & maybe even...

Hi all, Have been on this site a few times and thought id join up. Currently riding an mt-09 blazing orange model with a few extras and found this forum great in helping me with decisions. Come from a motocross racing background and I absolutely love this bike and it certainly hasn't dulled...

when the ice age arrives each october i be like "stuff this im off riding".....you should try it some time.. but i doubt you will.

I rode my Tracer for the last time today to collect my Super Tenere from the dealers. Riding it highlighted all the good things that attracted me to it in the first place, but riding the S Tenere back home confirmed that for me at least it's the ideal bike. and seeing as I can only afford one...

So.... I went down yesterday, pulling away from a junction just as i set off from my house. Turning left had a slight lean on but nothing major, back end went and i hit the deck. Luckily the engine casing and bar ends took all the damage and the tank and plastics had not even a scratch...

Hey guys, I'm new here im currently awaiting pick up of my 2014 mt 09 In 2015 race blue colours, i am riding a Ducati panigale 899, hope to have a good time here meeting all the members.

Carol and I had already decided that we would probably go to the Canaries again for our January holiday this year, when I came across a write-up in the 'Ride' magazine 'Tours 2015' supplement for "Canary Motorcycle Tours" ( Amazing Motorcycle Tours in the Canaries. Biking's Best Kept Secret. ) -...

Strikes me mad there is no protection I saw on the MT-09 rad, would of thought there be a simple black plastic slitted cover, like I had on my 2001 hornet, I did swap that out for stainless one. Its pretty big on MT-09 to, did you all get one before riding to much or not bother? any major dings...

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and looking for some info on the MT-09. Been reading tons of reviews and infos online, in the forum and youtube..... etc.. Really wants some more users' personally opinion. I've been riding sports bikes all my life, currently riding a ZX-6R. Thing is, I love the...

Hey guys, Just thought i would say hello. Ive been an R1 rider for the last 6 years , but took out the MT 09 on a test ride and decided to go for it. Brilliant machine with the added bonus of a great riding position. Went for the street tracker edition which I've already had tricked out. Pics...

Has anyone run a power commander and the auto tune on the MT09 yet? I was thinking about getting both and maybe the mapping switch too ( I think you loose A B and STD with a power commander please correct me if I'm wrong) has anyone got an opinion on this? My brother put a power commander on his...
