Having read a thread from a U.S. FZ09 site, it would appear that some people are purchasing Ohlins front springs and looking to upgrade their rear suspension. I have to admit that i am quite happy with the suspension and damping on my bike. I have adjusted the pre-load and rear shock /nitro to...

Reading on another thread about people owning quite lively bikes before going onto the MT09....a friend of mine traded in a GSX 1000, I traded in my Suzuki GSR750, just wandering what other bikes came before the switch to the MT09...?

Just ordered a keyring that I spotted whilst looking at photos of an FZ09...they appear to be quite popular in the U.S. Just thought that I would bring it to members attention. I managed to purchase one for just under five pounds inc. postage ...and no I am not on commission! Anybody who is...

Is it just me or does any body else find that the 'official' MT09 tank pad spoils the look of the racy black line decal going down the tank ?(I have the Orange colour) Going to take it off and replace it with a clear one. Just wandered if anybody else has chosen to high-light the bikes original...

Called into Raceways for 2 new tyres. Fitted, balanced and road tested whilst I waited with a brew...Brilliant service and worth travelling to. Recommended A1. Thanks Guys!:)

Had a test ride on a Honda CBR650F today....compared to the MT09 it's a shed....but probably only because the mt09 is smoother and better quality manufactured I couldn't wait to get off it and jump back on the MT....made me appreciate it even more....anyway, to my point, Just wandering what...

Bike just back from its 6000 service and yet again I have found that the tyres have been given different air pressure to that stated in the handbook (36psi front and 42 psi rear) Am I missing something here when everytime I take a bike to the garage they comeback with different prees ures....is...

Hi. Almost due new tyres on the MT09. Been very happy with the Bridgestones and happy to replace them with the same. Also heard from a very good source that Mitchelin Pilot road 3 are good. 1. Would I feel any difference or benefit from the change ? 2. Life expectancy of your recommendations...

I met up with a couple of MT09 owners a few weeks back who told me that they had cured the snatchyness on the MT09. I was invited to test ride both bikes and see for myself. It was true! I was told that it was due to a DNA Air filter from ebay ...from Greece at a cost of about £66. I ordered...

Can I just confirm that when tightening the chain and turning the chain pulling nut UPWARDS, the chain pulling nut on the opposite side of the bike must be turned DOWNWARDS. Its not made very clear In the instruction book and I am used to tightening the chain on previous bikes by quarter turning...

I've got the bike so might as well learn some tricks. Any body know how to do a good wheelie on the mt09? It's too cold to do some decent lengthy journeys so might as well have a play !

Hi all. A friend of mine has compiled for me all the promotion clip, ads, dark side, stunts n wheelies, road tests, etc on a high quality and entertaining dvd. (All the fun and good stuff..inc Cager !) This would be a nice souvenir to have to accompany your bike or keep you entertained whilst...

Went to change over my bike insurance today and telephoned Express Insurance. I felt like i was disturbing the female operator and got the impression there was an office party going on in the back-ground-could hardly hear a word. Really didn't appreciate being treated like a piece of meat(Poor...

Hi. There is an ABS version due soon. The date of release for the ABS version changes daily. The last i heard was Dec this year. Will it be like the street triple with the ability to turn it on and off or is it fixed ? There are two schools of thought with the MT09/FZ08 and Abs 1. The bike is a...
