all bike gear boxes do this that i have known. if you stop in a high gear, its never straightforward to get it in to first.

it sounds normal to me, every bike i've had does this.

Seat is sold now.

I have a custom one for sale, if you are anywhere near Leeds you can try it to see if it works for you. It cured the problem for me. I am only selling as I no longer have the MT,

Reduced to £175 delivered. Thats cheaper than the Yamaha comfort seat but this is much better as it actually works!

Hello. It fits perfect as it is based on a genuine Yamaha seat. I have sold my bike now so won't be able to take a photo of it on the bike unfortunately. If you google "Seth Laam seats" you will see the website of the guy in California who did it. You have to send him your seat normally to work...

Reduced to £180. This is a great seat for anyone suffering with the stock one. You are welcome to try it to see for yourself the difference it makes.

free akra with abs and non abs: MT-09 - with Free Akrapovic exhaust and Cat worth over

I have this in mine. The dealer tried to charge me £119 but when I pointed this out it was promptly reduced to £40 which was the price of the oil and filter. If it says it in the book, and hasn't been agreed othwerwise then I think you have a watertight case for a refund.

the 2015 matt grey bike i saw at the NEC and EICMA had dark grey forks. mine which i got in 2014 has silver forks.

Check page 11 of your "Warranty Handbook". It says (at least mine does) "The first service will be carried out without labour charge....unless agreed otherwise". If the handbook still says this and you didn't agree othwerwise at point of purchase then I think you have a cast iron case for...
