Hello friends,
after 15 months and huge fun i traded my 2015 MT09 for Z1000SX 2016. The decision wasn't easy as i LOVE that triple motor. But as i needed more sport/touring capabilities,
more upper speed stability and better handling i decided against investing in aftermarket and going with the...
Hello all,
I have 16000 km on the bike and i oil the chain regularly and adjust it from time to time.
Few days ago i adjusted the tension again , and it seems that the chain have much more free play only after like 100 km of riding.
Any suggestions ? When i know that it time to replace the chain?
I have MT09 for a year now, 13000km, all kind of riding, including "spirited" twisty roads with friends once a week. Was considering to replace for something like Z1000SX for more comfort and sport behaviour. After long consideration, decided that there isn't anything on the market with a motor...

2) Let's say that you can do suspension upgrades only to one end of the motorcycle on the MT09, which one would you modify? Only the front or only the rear and why ?
Thank you for...
i wondering about the rear tyre pressure, there is a reason manufacturers set the recommended psi. Reducing 15% is sure to affect the tyre grip and wear and handling, but in what way? to the better or to the worse?
I have only the rear BT023, the fron is stock D214, i know that it is not recomended to use different makes for the tyres, but being a 30 years veteran in motorcycling, never had a problem with that. Regarding the speed wobble it appeared on the stock tyres also just above 215kmh, which is a...
I use the bike for motorway mostly, some in town riding, and weekends are resevered for a twisty roads with friends.
Changed the rear tyre to BT023 which is a sport turing tyre and must say that i am very happy with the outcome, good cornering and i think (hope) it will result in a double mialeage
