    MT-09 (2016) handlebar diameter?

    I ended up buying the Oxford Heated Premium Hot Grips - (Sports) & they've been great. Really even heat throughout both grips and easy to control too

    I have GIVI TE2115 Easylock Pannier Racks on my 2016 MT09 and they take about 20 minutes to fit and 10 to remove (i prefer the look of the bike without them fitted when I'm not touring) The panniers i have are Givi 3D600 3D Easylock Expandable Panniers - 50L and they take seconds to lock onto...

    Yeah I had the same problem too. I followed this YouTube video to clean the starter mechanism and it's now working fine again

    Getting the rear wheel off the ground to setup suspension sag

    I do have a trolley jack so I guess I just need to find a point on the bike that won't be damaged by jacking the rear off the ground. Thanks

    Getting the rear wheel off the ground to setup suspension sag

    I do have a paddock stand but that lifts the back wheel from the centre of the rear hub and that's no use when configuring the sag on the suspension. The rear wheel has to be free from being supported and able to drop to the full extent (sag) of the suspension.

    Getting the rear wheel off the ground to setup suspension sag

    I'm looking to configure the suspension on my MT09 and in particular I need to setup the sag on the rear Problem is of course that the mt09 has no centre stand and I need to get the rear wheel off the ground while I set it up I know there are centre lifts and other such things I could buy...

    MT09 SP engine light on, and no response from the bike when I attempt to start.

    My starter switch just started doing this too. My bike is 2016 and out of warranty though so I'll be following this YouTube video to try and get it fixed before it causes some serious damage

    Hi from Melbourne

    I'm yorkshire based too. This time of year is fairly depressing for good riding opportunities but I'll get out whenever I can too. I envy anyone in Australia.... just imagine being able to go for a decent ride all year round!

    Comfort seat

    I bought the Shad seat and i found the difference between that and the stock seat to be incomparable. I find the Shad seat to be supremely comfortable and definitely worth the £200+ that I paid for it.

    How do i remove the radiator from the bottom bracket?

    You were right! The bottom is a rod and removal was exactly as you said it would be. Many thanks for the guidance

    Hey mike, Did you ever write a "how to guide" on how you replaced the front fork cartridges please? I'd be interested in having a go at doing this myself but any written guidance would help me greatly I think. Cheers

    How do i remove the radiator from the bottom bracket?

    I did think it might push out but if it does, it's not moving! The rad guard I have, has a bracket that looks like it needs to bolt onto the bottom bracket. I'll take a pic of the rad guard tomorrow and show you what I mean.

    How do i remove the radiator from the bottom bracket?

    I'm trying to fit a rad guard to my 2016 mt09 and I'm struggling to work out how to remove the fixing to the bottom bracket The guard I bought has 3 fix points and one is to the bottom bracket It's not a bolt, but looks like a rubber grommet with plastic on the other side. I've attached...

    Uncomfortable seat

    I bought a Shad comfort replacement seat for my MT09 and just came back from a 4 day / 800 mile tour, with barely any discomfort at all. With the previous stock seat, my backside was square after about 30 minutes max! I also had an airhawk pad for a previous bike and that was also pretty good...

    I've never really considered heated gloves before. Not quite sure why not.... do you have any recommended brands ?

    MT-09 (2016) handlebar diameter?

    Thanks for the feedback I presume you mean 120 mm rather then 220 mm ? I'll have a look at technoglobe deluxe - I haven't come across those before

    MT-09 (2016) handlebar diameter?

    Hi all👋 I'm looking to fit some oxford heated grips to my 2016 MT-09 (UK) but I'm unsure which ones will fit because I can't seem to determine the diameter of the stock bars...... Does anyone know the diameter or have oxford grips already fitted and can advise which ones I need to buy please?
