Cheers, It was just a cheap one off eBay, not sure it was a particular brand or anything. worst really well, very comfy and yes, stopped the sliding!

As metzeler say: Wet roads, dry roads, just ride it. Engineered to empower true riders :ROFLMAO:

Wurth dry lube here too.

Metzeler M7RR. I have them on my MT, RC51 and H2 SX. best tyres (for me) by a mile.

Could be. I was really into getting one, so I went to the ‘other’ Yamaha dealer that I don’t like (they don’t like me either tbh) and they even ummmed and ahhhed about getting me one. I haven’t seen any bike in real life with one on either now that I think about it..

there you go...

Yeah the bag is a touch big, but goes with the colour of the bike and I only paid £20 for it! Lol suspension is just a bit budget, mine is a 2016 model so I didn’t have any adjustment in the back and the springs/oil were too light for my chunky frame lol. Too much dive in the front end, even...

MT09. no issues, there was 1 recall for a minor thing with the headstock something or other... nothing major and it was fixed within 20 minutes I put my own quick shifter on, not a Yamaha one - it’s great made by Healtech, I also have gp/reverse shift. I’ve also upgraded the suspension, it’s...
