I've sold plenty of off-road bikes in the past but I now have to part with my absolute stunner of an MT09 so wondering how to conduct a private sale without the risk of someone just riding off on it because a potential buyer will surely want to test ride it? It's easy to say "no test rides...

Does anyone know how I can contact someone in the UK about a new Shark helmet I bought? I bought a Shark Carbon Spartan recently which has what I would say is a normal amount of wind noise on the left hand side but a lot of wind noise on the right hand side at anything over 25mph which seems to...

I gave my 1 piece lather suit a clean with Nikwax Leather Cleaner followed by a treatment of Nikwax Leather Restorer last weekend but I've just tried to go out on the bike and have had to turn round right away and come home as the leathers are now super slippery on the seat, dangerous slippy...

I'm 90% sure my clutch has been slipping since having the Woolich Racing ECU map. It does it under load in 4th gear at about 7000rpm. The bike has done 6600 miles in total. So anyone had this problem? I'm assuming I can just replace the friction plates? If so do I go for stock or uprated...

I've been meaning to switch to a Street Triple RS for the past couple of years but every Spring I get on the MT-09 and end up keeping it another year. My MT is no Street Triple RS but with the Ohlins and Woolich Racing ECU flash it's a pretty smooth animal now, and the DNA air filter and...

I've managed to almost wear through my rear brake hose presumably with my boot somehow so I guess now is the time to switch to braided versions. Any particular brand noticeably better or worse than the others? Bike is a 2014 without ABS. Also I guess the twin front lines would be better than...

I don't trust mine, they are all bent and I rely on them when the bike is parked up in the garage, it sits on one of those paddock stands that have dolly wheels on so I can push it right up against the wall in the garage. So can anyone recommend rear paddock stand bobbins that have nice strong...

***SOLD*** Kevxtx o2 sensor controller mod (UK) *** SOLD *** Removed from my bike today as I now have the Woolich Racing ECU flash with o2 sensor delete. This o2 mod is perfect if you want to smooth out your throttle a bit without having your ECU flashed. Very easy to fit (Kev's instructions...

My '14 MT-09 had a 6000 mile service 11 months ago and it's only done 159 miles since, it's been sat in my garage the whole time. So will it want another service before the riding season?

As above, bikes booked in for its 6000 mile service in a couple of weeks, just wondered what I'm actually getting for my £240 besides a stamp. Also, what 'should' the cost be? I've been quoted £240 which seems high after a quick Google. Sent from my iPhone 

Looks like the FZ-09 in the U.S. has had a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) for the cam chain tensioner based off of VIN number. I assume the TSB is their version of a Recall and wonder if we'll get one too? Source: Cct tsb Sent from my iPhone 

Pinlock Ear Plugs - SPORTSBIKESHOP These are great, especially for those of us who ride with our Akra DB killers out. You can still hear everything just fine, they just take the edge off of the deep exhaust note and wind noise. My only gripe is that the larger of the two supplied sizes still...

Anyone got these? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262474620486 At £125 for a full set of upper and lower frame pieces, front and rear axle pieces and paddock stand bobbins it seems like pretty good valve. Supplied hardware is all plated so won't rust so the quality seems OK too. Only unknown is...

Just read in a comment on YouTube that the MT-09 has been dumbed down to meet UK emissions so it's not as powerful as the U.S. FZ-09, is that right? Sent from my iPhone 

For whatever reason after about and hours riding my right hand goes numb/tingly, pretty sure it's from a very high frequency vibration. Can anyone recommend any grips that might stop this from happening? I've seen the 'Grip Buddies' and 'Grip Puppies' but I really don't like the idea of those...

Anyone had their UK MT-09 MOT'd yet? Wondering if the Akra with no CAT passes the emission test OK? Sent from my iPhone 

I 'tried' to get my cam chain tensioner replaced a year ago when the bike was still under warranty (I have email proof that I brought it to their attention within the bikes warranty period) but the dealership said they couldn't hear it as my Akra was too loud (baffle was out) so they didn't even...

I've opened 'MyDrive', created a route, saved it to 'My Routes' and plugged my Sat-Nav in..... But it won't sync those routes to the Sat-Nav and there is no 'sync' button anywhere?! I know my PC and TomTom are connected fine as MyDrive shows my device as CONNECTED and also I was able to...
