Hi All Does anyone here know where I might be able to get a replacement connector plug for the tilt/cut out sensor, as I have had a little mouse issue and he decided to eat some of my wires. It is the white plastic piece in the photo, from Yamaha it is all part of the main loom, my local...

Not sure if anyone has seen, but it looks like Yamaha has dramatically reduced the price of the flat and comfort seats, at least for the early models. Flat Seat £117, Comfort Seat £126 and vintage seat £58.

Not being able to just near £100 for the Yamaha (Gilles) chain adjuster block, I picked these billet one up on Ebay for £35, arrived in a couple of days and fitted this morning. I think they look a lot nice than the OE ones, and seem to be a lot more sturdy. I also added a nice new stainless...

Looking at some old bike photos. I realized I am having as much fun on the MTs now as I was on a sportsbike and tuned FZ1 just two years ago. 2013: 2015:

Well 4 months on and I am now on my 4th screen on the Tracer. I did not really like the original as I found in noisy, and to much movement at the top for my liking. Second screen was a small Powerbronze Adventure Sport screen, which looks good and is pretty quite but does not give any...

I have just noticed that my status has gone from junior member to Senior Member! Does that mean you guys have now found out have old I am? Lol

I am sure I spotted a couple of MT's riding straight past Loomies in West Meon tonight at about 7 tonight, was it any of you guys? Weather made for a good rideout tonight, and took a couple of pics when I got home. What do you think of the exhaust collector painted black, I think it stands out...

OK, I know you guys are gonna call me a wuss for riding so slowly, but after a 700 mile three day ride round Wales and back to Hampshire I have looked at my fuel consumption. The last 4 tankfuls have been over 55MPG, with a best of 58.2. Although I was riding with a group of friends including...

I Just wondered if anyone had done a track day with an MT yet, I did a day at Castle Combe on Tuesday, but I used FZ1 Fazer as the MT is not really run in yet. But I reckon the torque and weight of the MT would make in pretty good fun in track, and will probably try it next time (maybe after the...

I am enjoying riding the MT so much I have decided to use it (instead of my FZ1 Fazer) for my yearly 4 day tour round Wales in a couple of weeks, Luggage was the obvious issue, with the Ventura option being limited to 5 kilo. Anyway I bit the bullet and got the Yamaha saddlebags (panniers) and...

Hi Just found an Italian manufacturer doing all sorts of awesome new parts for the MT-09 www.lightech.it These are nice, but there is much much more, including rear sets, chain adjuster and mirrors

What does anyone think of these, found them on an obscure MT facebook page. These were the pick of the bunch for me, but they also have T shirts, Fleeces, Jenas Etc

Just seen the line up for WSB 2014, 7 Brits riding this year, representing Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Ducati and Bimota. Not a single Yamaha on the grid though!

Finally fitted all my MT Christmas presents, Now have, R&G bar ends, R&G Rear Bobbins, R&G Areo style crash protectors, Yamaha mesh grill intakes, Evotech tail tidy & Evotech rear peg removal plates. Next will be a radiater protector as I priority as I have already noticed some minor marks on...

I went out this morning and forgot to put in my earplugs. I had noticed a noise from the gearbox at some points but it has never been to intrusive, but without the plugs in it seems really loud! worst is in 3rd (at around 30mph) and in sixth gear anywhere between 60-70, OK maybe at that speed I...

OK, so yesterday I went for the first long ride on my 2 week old MT09, it started off as a short trip just to play with the suspension settings, as at 14 stone as am quite a bit heavier than the Japanese test riders. I have found with 2 extra clicks of pre-load and 2 of rebound adjustment on the...
