I have 2015 '09, bought new in October that year, and I love it. Had I be in the market now for one, a '17 model will have been on the cards I guess (hating the insectile lights though). I'd still have upgraded the suspension regardless, and would love the quick shifter.

I had my stock suspension set uo to my weight at Steve Jordans before I chaged the fork internals and shock to decent kit that works. Great service, friendly, knowledgeable and free hot drinks. I didn't pay anything though, but either way, you'll know how to tweak it yourself now before upgrading.

If you want a very loud pipe which is short and GP-like, SP Engineering's Moto GP Extreme full system is awesome. Excellent build quality and fooking loud. Baffle out and it's insanely loud.

You'll have a blast. I took mine to Catalyna GP circuit in October and although not ideal, is still competent into and exiting the corners. It's no sports bike, but you'll find yourself in and amongst the 600's and 750's in the bends, but powering out you'll be left behind by every sports bike...

Get some ear plugs and be like Moses ;)

SP Engineering's Moto GP pipe will drown both Akras out :D

Do you mean the transmission recall of 2015? RM/2015/012?

Nice to see a MT09 post. Last few months have been touringtastic Tracey this that and the other :(

Nice, Andy. Bold and different, fair play :cool: (Not a fan of the SR seat on these bikes though)

I wasn't getting many miles to the gallon north of 9k revs in all 6 gears and A-mode at Cataluyna earlier this week ;)

Welcome to the bike and forum.

Agreed.....

That caught my attention too. Other than that, looks like a cross between the 09 and 10.

He's too busy noticing the massive difference between stock and decent rear suspension :D

Glad you enjoyed your trip. You must have taken some good breaks as you covered an average of 40 miles each hour. Stock seat is firm, huh! I did 16 junctions on the M4 recently, and that was bad enough! Nice plate on that MT. Orange really is the best colour :rolleyes:

Looks good :cool: I was initially distracted by the dodgy paving. Cross-wire pointing...oh dear :p

The best of luck with Peter Hammonds!

MD Racing in Surrey (superb, by the way) did my suspension. Front end with springs, oil and bespoke airgap was about £300. Rear end and set up for my weight with gear on was about £700.

Only with uprated performance springs and oil, is the front end infinitely better. Tons more confidence to brake hard on the front now.

I have one. Can't remember having a problem when fitting it though. If I recall, it was a little warped in a springy way. The cover does touch the radiator when pressed, but that's not to say that it's noisy over bumpy terrain, at all. I don't think Yamaha side panels are designed to fit with...
