I have the instructions and all the parts. Yea, thanks.

Hi, I have bought some second hand Givi Engine bars from someone who had an MT-09 Tracer but sold it and kept the engine bars. I have the Givi instructions, but as usuall they are pretty minimalistic! Can anyone who has fitted the engine protection bars give me a description of what to do to...

The bike shown in the photos is an MT-07 Tracer, not an MT-09 Tracer...

Having watched a YouTube video about the pros and cons of changing the exhaust system, I'm leaving mine as it is.

Quick update. Thanks for all the suggestions. My friend delayed doing the MOD 1 and 2 tests as her daughter was on holiday from School and she didn't have time. Now that the schools are back again, she's started the training and I don't think it will take long before the tests are passed...

I do get a vibration effect in my right hand. Since I did over 8,000 miles on a 700 Tracer, with no such problems, I don't buy any of the "you are holding on too tight" suggestions, but to be polite I tend to just nod and say "I'll try holding on less tight", but it doesn't work. I did try the...

Happy birthday for yesterday.

No, I took the top box off and left it in one of the garages. ;)

My MT-09 Tracer yesterday at the Arkwright Arms Bike Night after going to Donington for a Road Bike Track Day

Thanks for the advice and information. When we got to see the bike it was in very good condition, in my opinion anyway, but when my friend tried to sit on the bike she found out that she could only just get the balls of her feet onto the floor. After asking at the Yamaha dealership about...

Thanks, the one that was for sale was £1,900 but it went before we could go and see it. Seen a couple more, advertised at just over £2k but I will suggest that they haggle a bit. I found out that the Cush Drive needs checking, but doesn't look like a difficult job to replace. Again, a point...

I friend of mine has found an advert for a 57 plate, 660cc, MT-03 and I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on the bike? Have you owned one and, if so, what to look out for please? Thanks for any advice.

On the 2017 model, I don't think you can turn the TC off. I think you only get the option of mode 1 or 2, I'd need to check the manual though, but the selector button just toggles between the two settings. (Update. I looked in the manual and I have to hold the button in for about wo seconds to...

Mine has done 4,600 miles on the Dunlops, including several downpours. Worst was going down the M1. The Dunlops seem OK but I think I prefered the Road Pilots that I had on the MT-07 Tracer, but that was my 1st "bigger" bike so I don't have a lot to compare it with.

Yea, same on mine when I put it into 6th gear. It's still got the standard exhaust.

I started on an XVS650 Custom Dragstar trike last February, did the CBT and got a YRB125 which I let my lad have, but has now been stolen, then got an MT-07 Tracer in November 2016, did over 8,000 miles on that until a car pulled out across a junction right in front of me in March 2017 and I...

Not found a repair to the seat, various people suggested replacing the part with the holes in. I might try putting some sort of filler in, but will try something on the covering material under the seat to see if it burns or discolours the material. The only other suggestion has been to get...

Anyone done a serious comparison between the Triumph Tiger 800 and the MT-09 Tracer?

Hi, just added a marker to the map. Not actually on my house but the nearest town, which is Bolsover in Derbyshire, UK.

I don't think the traction control kicked in, I only got the orange engine warning light. It's been cleared now and I've not had any problems with the bike.
