Thanks to a couple of rookie mistakes (dropped the bike inside my garage) I find I'm in need of a genuine left hand mirror and a front mudguard for my MT-09 so if you have either or both available please give me a shout before I call the dealer for a shock when they give me their price.
Thanks.
Searched Ebay and wanted to share this if you haven't seen it yet. Bargain price for a K&N filter for the MT:

At last!
I got the 3 exhaust gaskets, 2 studs and 2 nuts from the Yam dealer in Folkestone (£28.55 thank you) and just got the system fitted today. I've only started it and warmed it up so far not ridden it but I already love the new sound - it's so much deeper, so much more aggressive...
While at Alford Bros Yamaha Folestone yesterday I saw a new R1 in the flesh for the first time and I nearly did a little sex wee it's so dam sexy looking. It was in blue and had a rather superb akrapovic can or maybe the full system I'm not sure. If money was no object I'd have snapped it up on...
Hi all my fellow MT fans, long time since I've stopped by.
Well I've finally taken the plunge and splashed the cash on an aftermarket exhaust and as much as I wanted to save money and go with the Akra carbon racing line, I also wanted to stay legal and get a certified legal system so went with...
Just ordered one of these bad boys on ebay: Original Yamaha MT09 Street Rally Sitzbank NEU MT-09 flat seat Sitz OVP | eBay
There were 2 available now only 1 left. Should be here by Tuesday so hopefully more comfortable and sensible seating (not sloping forward, resulting in the MT09 crushed...

I think he's being serious about the FZ / MT-09 but I can't take it seriously.
Is it sarcasm or does he really dislike the bike that much? Your thoughts?
Just wondered if any of you guys "Do the dangle" as in hang a leg off and brush the floor with your foot when you corner on your MT.
My dealer told me when I took my courtesy bike back that the MT is "supposed" to be ridden like a supermoto with a foot down in the corners whereas the Z1000...
I was lucky enough to have a few hours spare and the perfect weather yesterday (Friday) so I made the most of it.
While riding on a closed stretch of private road and giving it the beans the MT proved it still has the potential to surprise. At 120+ mph in 5th gear, A-mode with the throttle...

I dropped my bike in at Yam today to get the new cam chain tensioner fitted and took a courtesy bike overnight.
I thought I would make the most of it and take something fun so I got a brand new Kwaki Z1000 naked (I know, wash my mouth out), planning to take it for a few hours play time but the...
I called the dealer at 09.00 this morning to get it in and checked for the cam chain tensioner. Can't speak to service as lines are busy so left a message to call me back.
Called the dealer again at 11.30 as hadn't had a call back - lines are busy so was asked if I want to leave a message to...
I know this is not the correct area but I can't see a section for forum problems so went for the technical section.
I have a problem with the forum only when I'm at work as we have security software and content filters. It happens when there is a thread with more than one page and I try to...
I found this listed on ebay, specifically quoting suitable for the MT-09 and the rest of the MT range.

Anybody got one / thinking about one?
Anybody who has had their headlight out know if this kit will fit in the space...
Already I have a failed indicator bulb on the front near-side and can't find a suitable one on ebay.
I have one which is the correct bayonet fitting and is a tinted bulb as it needs to be but it's too wide to fit the cover back on. The one which came out is slim and the replacement needs to be...
Birthday gift to myself arrived today. Ok it's a few days early and I've opened the box and had a look at them but they're not going on the bike yet as I'm working nights.
They're gonna look super great fine smashing on the bike :D
I recently received my Evotech bar end weights which were out of stock when I ordered them. I love the look of them compared to standard, although I don't think they make much if any difference at all, they are just much shorter and look more sensible than the standard ones.
I'm pleased :D
I...
Ok guys, while I was saving up and shopping around for a new bike I had test ridden a few bikes and got down to a short list before the MT-09 was released. If the MT had not been release when it was, or had not floated my boat when I test rode it then I would probably not have one right now...
