Treated myself (along with Ram Mount ball) at the Bike Show to some R&G Heated Grips The garage is freezing today, but thought I would at least offer it to the bike. All seems well, but how the hell do I slacken those bar ends. ?? I remember them being tight on other bikes but not this bad It...

Looking a fun commuting bike that suits my 6ft 1 frame. The mt-09 seems a great bike but is it suited to doing 44 miles a day(22 each way)? I would be doing roughly 15,000 a year on it. Would it cope for a couple of years with that mileage.

Hi, bought my 09 ABS brand new March last year. I am happy with bike, but tbh , I had not long had it when I started wondering if I should have went for the tracer as it had a few things different on it that I quite liked the look of. I saw a 2016 09 tracer on the website of my local Yamaha...

Picked up new bike today. Can anyone tell me where I can pick up an ignition wire so I can connect my Zumo 660 have connected to battery at present but would like it off the ignition. Don't want use the 12v socket I want that for something else.

Hi Guys just a quick note to let you know I have just sold my bike, the forum has been a good place to find out information and help from the members in the 3 years of owning the bike I have really enjoyed it but it's time to move on and try something different, a big thanks to TT (Richie)...

Hi, I'm in a quandary, a dealer is selling the 2016 MT 09 for about the same price as the MT 07 (£6234 OTR) and I am not sure which way to go? They are doing this because a new 2017 MT 09 is going on sale in December. I was unsure if I wanted an MT 07 or an MT 09 in the first place, now I don't...

Hi folks iv sold my bike and have the Sargent seat and rear seat cowl which is in carbon effect colour . Both are in near perfect condition with very little use ( which is why iv sold the bike . The seat normally reatails at £319 and the cowl at £230. Am willing to sell at £200. If you...

Good day, coleagues, I am new here, new with motorcycles and new with tracer 2016. I have one annoing feeling with my bike. When I am riding at constant speed and at constant engine rpm, i feel stretching/twitching/surging. When I am slowing or accelerating everything is ok. The chain also is...

Top man WSB well done Jonathan back to back world super bike champion, keep her lit!!

the best £45 ever invested :D I have the same on my old Fazer, although the Fazer ones were only £17. Apparently chinese manufacturers are profiteering here cause MT09 is new bike model. Anyhow I have to say they work great for me. No more trapped fingers :cool:

Hi All, any ideas for cheap alternative of the expensive SW and Hepko center stands for MT09? INB4 I do not like ABBA stands, paddock stands or any other garage equipment. I need something on the bike that can be used everywhere if I need to work on or clean my bike.

Greetings guys, another sort of newbie here from sunny Blackpool. An Engineer by trade, but employed elsewhere for now. Not got an MT yet, but one is definitely in the pipeline. I've test ridden the MT09 three times now, the tracer 900 and 700, also the XSR900. The MT turns me into an absolute...

Been having a few issues with my zip on my jacket catching my tank. So after a good search around decided on one of these....... £20 and I think it suits the bike very well. Colours are spot on.

Earlier this year, I decided to approach the bank of wife, about financing a new hobby. I'd set my heart on a catterham style kit car. Here's how the discussion went. Me: how's our savings looking? Wife: ok why? Me: I fancy treating myself to something Wife: what like Me: a kit car, like this...

Yamaha MT09 2013 Colour: Deep Armour Mileage 4700 No of Owners 2 (including me) I purchased this bike a couple of months ago, from a friend/the original owner. This bike was meant to be his forever bike, when he retired due to ill health in 2013. His wife pretty much gave him an open cheque...

I rode down to the MotoGP in Misano, mostly alone and off-piste at the beginning of September. On my casual way back, sticking to an alpine route and country D roads of France, I paused in Auxerre for a reasonable lunch...then set off on my way past Sens and Saint Clement on the D606 when I felt...

Had a couple of hours in the man cave tonight. Fitting some long awaited bits. Yamahas GPS Mount. This is actually from an MT-10 as the MT-09 one doesn't fit correctly apparently. Yamaha also show it fitted to the 2 bolts nearest the rider but I think it looks better to the front of the bike...

Hi folks can someone do me a favour. Check to see how you change the odometer from MPH to KPH. Reason for asking is I am sure it can be done on a UK model bike, but as my bike was for the EU market I do not think it is possible. I have asked on the MT09 FB page France and the replies I have had...

Service is due on bike so I was just wondering now bike is 3 years old and out of warranty what spark plugs and oil filter would you recommend Cheers

Alright folks. Took delivery of my shiney new MT-09 yesterday (Race blu obviously) after debating whether to go for it. It has replaced my Ducati Scrambler which was my first big bike since passing my test last October. Performance difference is night and day, as is the engine fuelling...
