    Wire colours for the gauges

    Not good practice to put email addresses on the system.

    Magnetic tank bags

    I don't use a magnetic bag very often but when I do I have a piece of that perforated grippy, non slip, rubbery, silicony mat stuff under it. I cut the mat to the shape of the base of the tank bag and it works perfectly. The main thing with any magnetic tank bag is to keep both mating surfaces...

    yohimura

    Don't like the old style positioning of that pipe. I prefer the under slung box design for these bikes. That said I normally fit Yoshi zorsts to my bikes. They do build a decent system in my view.

    Custom Parts for the MT 09 - UK / EU

    What about something like this top clamp. Maybe the guys with Tracers want to add functionality to their machines and don't want drill holes in plastics etc. I had these things made up for Super Tenere's (by Highway Dirt Bikes in Canada) but you can design them to go on most bikes. We sold...

    Thinking of coming over to the Dark Side

    We're off to the Alps in September ... I'll look out for the Lotus group. We're fast running down to Grasse then up Route Napolean ... playing in and around Chambery, Annecy, Mont Blanc area back to Bourg en Bresse then blast West to Le Mans for some track action ... my sat nav was registering...

    Thinking of coming over to the Dark Side

    You'd be pig sick if you packed it in for no real reason ... get a cheap MT09 (ex demo or low miler) and get the suspension sweetened. The bike is nice and light, manoeuvrable, plenty of power and not badly finished. I like mine as a local scalpel but I'd not be doing any kind of long range...

    That'll be two of us that know the man in the know who lives in Drury Lane ... Muffin anyone?

    BUSTED in Chesham!

    Who was that then? Feds pulled a perp on an MT-09 going out of Chesham this afternoon. Whoever it was deserved to be nicked ... he had a red and blue mullet! That on its own is a feckin crime. ;) We were killing ourselves laughing as we drove past ... that pick up truck with bike on board and...

    No indicators - Ignition issue

    Yamaha should be formally made aware of this matter. It could get someone hurt or worse. Perhaps the administrators could notify them.

    exhaust

    I've not seen anyone on here with a Racefit system. I had one for a ZX10 and I know people with various makes of machine with them. The workmanship is superb. They don't mass produce so you may pay a slight premium if you go for a full system. If you're prepared to use your bike as a development...

    They're not cheap these boys. Give them a call ... they're always happy to get creative.
