THIS BIKE IS NOW SOLD.... This is my MT-09 in purple first registered 01/09/2014 and is now for sale due to my having recently purchased a new bike, I acquired the MT-09 around 18months ago with 776 recorded miles from one previous owner. Myself, retired being the being the second owner, at...

Agree 100% with all of the above, that's exactly how I do it and have done for many years. Wurth products are second to none and I have also used them for many years, but never the dry chain lube, and looking at your chain it is crying out for gear oil....proper lube. :o

Well here's proof if proof were really needed, prior to my recent flash by Simon my best mpg reading was 58.8-mpg and that was up around 3-mpg on the 55-mpg I use to get prior to my own mods ie std modified exhaust system, k&n air filter and the CO set to position 14 on each cylinder. So I did...

My 14-plate MT-09 had the Yamaha official re-flash back in 2014, it was done on the first service for the first owner. I took delivery of the bike just over 15-months ago with just over 760 miles on the clock, and it's still only done 3000miles. Anyhow I added a k&n filter and did a substantial...

IMO you should be fine, particularly if your garage is well insulated and therefore not prone to condensation. :)

I have had great success using a solar panel to keep both my car and motorcycle batteries topped up in a lock-up garage without electricity. Basically around two and half years ago I bought a solar panel off ebay for less than 30-quid along with a controller, which is absolutely essential, for...

Nice job, recently replaced mine on my MT-09 with virtually the same design adjusters. In your case you are fortunate to have a center stand on your Tracer to support the bike and lift the rear wheel off the deck. In my case I fitted 2x heavy duty "L" brackets approx 1200mm apart at high level...

It's probably been asked many times before but with out trawling through reams of posts to find it a quick and simple answer is all I'm after.... With regards to the front fork adjustment on top of the right fork leg, I see some obtain and fit another r/h adjustable fork leg cap to the left...

May I make a suggestion here guys, instead of using WD 40 or ACF 50, which granted has it uses, why not give a silicone based dry lube a try which is made for plastics and the like to prevent sticking etc. I've used it for years on various things and it works well, see below this was the tin I...

I can certainly sympathise with your fabricator it's not an easy job for anyone even with the skills and all the necessary tools and equipment, when I did mine last year I did mention this (see below), also when Yamaha put it together they certainly did it right....:o...

Yeah I guess you don't necessarily need heat to dry, a large volume of air movement should suffice. With heat though I guess it may well be quicker.? :)

For years a mate of mine has been using a cordless leaf bower to dry his bikes, as well as the obvious of course gathering up the autumn leaves, and according to him it works really well.....:)

Not inspired by the looks, and how heavy is it going to be.??? :confused:

Had the same happen to me a couple of months ago, I had just done an oil and filter change all good, went to local bike night a few days later, approx twenty miles each way, and on the return journey the oil came on just after leveling off from a fairly steep decent on a duel...

My previous ride prior to my recent purchase of my 2014 MT-09, was a 2010 Buell XB12 XT which I owned and thoroughly enjoyed for 2-years.
