Anyone going to be on the Ace Cafe rideout to Margate later today? If so, keep a lookout for a 2015 race blue MT09 ridden by a short guy with a gold Icon helmet :D

I think from reading posts scattered around that generally the S20s are a fair bit better than the D214s...but mine were fine at 2000 miles too :(

Having just got home from replacing my D214s I can attest to the fact that they really are not good tyres at all. I've had a couple of cases where the rear has slid at 20mph going into a bend, it was a bit wet but it was by no means a sharp turn. Went originally to get the rear repaired (nail...

So after taking my temporarily repaired tyre (thankyou Mr 2 inch nail!) to get a permanent fix, I was advised that the wear on my stock tyres (Dunlop D214s) was more or less at the tread line and would likely be illegal in a few hundred miles.. so I took it to originally just replace that tyre...

I love my 09, same colour as yours with an Akra Ti and a tail tidy... but my god that scrambler is sexy lol

Really? So TT's flash actually sorts out that irritating sputtery feeling when the bike is in 'ECO' mode? It actually does the same thing that the O2 sensor mod does :O? If that's true I may need to get it done as my bike is in ECO mode around 75-80% of the time as I mostly ride in the city, and...

Which one of those two is the low level and which is the high level? I've only ever seen the one in the 2nd picture, which is the akra titanium with the 3 inner pipes on the baffle that is supplied free with new purchases from time to time (my bike has that one) - the top one is a mystery to me!

That's good to know! I had a dealer sort my original one out, he just chopped the pipes in half so there's no "quiet" mode anymore. May buy a 2nd one down the line if I feel like modding the original one again

Hi Rip, Just wondering, why is the O2 mod only temporary - I thought it was a purchase that solved all the jerkiness when the bike runs in 'eco' mode (which is honestly about 75% of the time in London lol) - is there a better solution? Thanks

I went straight from a 2011 Honda CBR 125 to a 2-month old MT09 Race Blu :) Didn't regret it a bit!

I think that promotion ended last year, might be wrong though!

The only friendly local garage I know does cars only - would they have one? Definitely going to get the circular part filed down once it's out, absolute nightmare getting it in! edit: Also still looking for someone in the South London/Surrey area to give me a hand with it if possible. Cheers.

Thanks for the reply :) I'm really useless with it all, wouldn't know where to start in taking the can off without breaking something to be honest!

Hi guys, I purchased my MT09 last week from a dealer around 35 miles away from me, and it came with the baffle out (was given the baffle to take home). After riding it for a little over a week I decided it's pretty damn loud and wanted to see what it's like with the baffle in. Long story short...

Hey Triple bud :) I'm guessing craigzx9 didn't get your flash then? Has it been 100% confirmed to remove/reduce the low end jerkiness? I'm not too fussed about the 5th/6th gear rev limiter (can hit 125 in 4th without issue :D), but considering my most common journey involves South London city...
