Wheres everyone gone these days?

Probably need a new battery as mine isn't holding enough charge to start her up after being left 2 or 3 weeks. Looking at the pictures of new Yuasa YTZ10-S batteries on-line the positive and negative terminals are reversed to my original one. Is this OK or is there a special fitment battery for...

Anyone got the yammie soft panniers and fitting kit they might sell on - cheapish!!!!! ?

When replacing your front wheel on your ABS MT after its been away for a new tyre fitted: DO NOT think you have lost a wheel spacer. DO NOT rush indoors, fire up the laptop to look at the NON ABS wheel diagram. (It has two spacers). DO NOT go back out to the garage swearing and waste half an...

3 days without a post? I would have thought with Yamaha shifting loads of MT's this place would have more of a buzz about it by now. Is there somewhere else everyone is hanging out?

...... But what a feckin awesome bike the MT is. 150 miles of A mode fun in the sun. Roll on a couple of weeks when we hit the Alps together :)

Don't know if I've lost a socket or never had one but cant find one that fits in my garage!!!!! What size is it, the manuals don't say. EDIT: 27mm found it on the FZ site Misc. Info for FZ 09 Maintenance jobs..... We should have a page like that on here!

I'm not usually one for performance modding. Whilst I loved the std MT I felt I wanted to change it for the better. Ohlins shock and fork springs have transformed the handling. I still have some fettling to do but its all good. Kevs o2 controller and an EJK fuel controller have turned the...

Must say I'm looking forward more than usual to the warmer weather. Only rode the bike once on the ohlins and have now fitted an EJK fuel controller and Kevs o2 controller. Cant wait !! (Southern softie summer rider) :)

As you probably know I've put ohlins springs in my forks !!! My question is, I'm using the cable tie method to see how much travel I'm using. Is the bottom of the chrome tube the actual suspension bottom point or is it a few mm upwards (or more) The tie is currently around 15mm from the bottom...

Well not bricks but off the floor on the abba stand! Took the forks off and have noticed going from lock to lock there seems to be a lot of resistance in cables and things. I'm wondering if everything is a bit too short, not just the headlamp wire.

Acquired some ohlins fork springs off of a member. Ohlins recommend their 01309 oil which is 19 centistoke at 40 degrees (WTF?) Now that's not readily available and no doubt will cost a fortune so what SAE fork oil should I use? I'm guessing 5 or 10W ?

For some reason my bike can't get online quotes, every company wants me to phone up their referral department. When I got the MT it was mid policy and changed over with one issue that the ABS model wasn't on the system but I was insured fully for the right model even though it was stated as a...

Lets have a thread, all in one place, where you tell us what you've changed and how you rate it !

Fitted one. Not sure about the cable tie fixing at the bottom. Is this a normal way of mounting these sort of things, seems a bit heath robinson to me.

Just returned from a euro jaunt. Had the first service done at around 540 miles and loaded the bike into the van and drove down to Cochem in the Mosel valley. Did three in a row of just sub 200 miles days of quite frankly hooning around :) To say I enjoyed myself is an under statement. A mix...

Garmin Zumo 590LM fitted using Yammie fixing bracket. Very pleased with the result :)

The aux power plug under the side panel. Is it a switched supply, as the manual says yes at one point then says don't leave things switched on a flat battery may happen? I haven't looked yet but how do connect to the supply, I have a sat nav unit to hardwire in.

How long does it take a dealer to register a bike so it can hit the road? My MT has arrived a dealers yet they want a week to "get it on the system" once I've paid for it, so I paid for it the same afternoon. "we need the insurance details so we can start to get it on the system" The next...

As the title, what tail tidy are you using or not? Been trying to find a pic of the Yamaha one, am I right in thinking it can be fitted without the extension piece?
