Greetings folks :) New member here from Australia. I purchased a Tracer as my latest daily rider - been riding for about 30 years, been through a few bikes in that time as you would expect.

As I've got an MT-09 ordered for March I thought I'd join the forum! I've been a lifelong biker starting on dirt bikes, then trials, then eventually getting a road licence. I've had lots of different bikes over the years from trailies, road bikes, sports bikes, commuters and currently have an...

Hi guys, just joined as I bought a new mt09 last week, so far loving it with a 1000 clicks knocked up in the first week. Not able to really crack it on yet but so far loving the triple torque. Not many here in HK as they don't like big bikes, no problem more for me :-)

hi everyone my name is chris I am 55 just got a an mt09 on a 15 plate traded in my 15 plate mt07 for it from slocombes in London only had it a few months just got back into bikes had a fair few strokers in the eighties :D

Can anyone help? Had a puncture in my rear tyre. Took the wheel out and had it repaired and refitted the wheel with no issues. However the rear calliper does not want to line up properly and I cant get the brake to pump up. The calliper is not square and rocks rather than slides on the pins. If...

Deposit placed on a new MT09 in blue.:) For me the blue is the best of a bad bunch of colours. The wide & narrow stripes on the tank didnt do anything for me. Arrives in a week or so. All I need now are some fine days for a good ride out into the Yorkshire Dales. That reminds me, running in...

I am thinking about an MT-09. I have owned a number of non-Japanese bikes, a BMW R1100GS, KTM 950 Adv, Buell Ulysses, and they all used a fair amount of oil between oil changes. None of the Japanese bikes I've owned have used a drop. Does the MT-09 use any? I'm rather hoping not.

Hello everyone out there.I'm shyted . I don't have an MT09 ,or even a Yamaha. I have got two other bikes one i really like and won't sell, the other i looked forward to getting so much ,but now i've seen the inside of three engines with as little as 3k on the clocks,and seen what crap quality...

Put this up just to see how many of you guys service their own bike or take it to a dealer like most i would imagine, i ask this because ive heard quite a few horror story,s of dealers doing the service, charging an arm & leg for it but worse peoples bikes have been damaged , scratched and so...

Hi everyone . A quick introduction . Just got my new Tracer yesterday . Previous bikes here in Japan include 2 Honda Blackbirds ,Sportster and Suzuiki Intruder. Had my first real ride today on some pretty hairy twisties.Very different to the Blackbird but am looking forward to getting to know...

Hi all, I don't know if anybody out there is interested but I am producing a 9 piece stone guard kit for the MT09. it comprises of : 4x fork protectors, 3 x tank protectors and 2 x radiator protectors. The film I use is very similar to 3M venture Shield but the cost is considerably...

HI, Newbie here for the East Midlands. I currently ride a Tuono V4 and have just agreed a deal on a Tracer which I pick up next week so will be lucky enough to have 2 fun bikes to ride. I plan on using the Tracer for some light touring and hope to stack up the miles on it. Cheers

SEAT SOLD Here you have a genuine Yamaha Tracer front and rear seat. This seat has been professional detailed by a UK company. The seat has been reshaped for comfort and had gelastic foam fitted for comfort. Seat has been recovered in basket weave style and had dark grey piping inserted to...

Hi my name is Ian and picked up my new matt grey MT09 ABS yesterday. Obviously I have not had much time on it at present but first impressions are good. I have been riding since I was seventeen and and am now fifty seven and have owned seventeen bikes from an A100 Suzuki up to a Suzuki GSXR...

Latest package from ProBolt ... I'm gradually getting the MT how I like my bikes. Bit of machined shiny shit to make me happy. :D

Hi Guys, Just joined the Forum so thought would come and say hi. Going to look at a MT-09 Saturday morning hopefully will seal the deal and be on the road soon. Currently have a Aprillla Pegaso Strada 650 Previous bikes 2x R1's and a Gsxr 600 but mainly use bikes for work now so need...

Hi everyone, I got my MT09 about 2 weeks ago and i'm trying to burn through those 600 miles as quick as possible so i can let it off the leash! So far i'm loving it, its great to be on a bike designed from the ground up as a road bike rather than a race bike with high bars. A little about me...

I have the Matt Grey finish on my Tracer and was wondering what I should, and shouldn't, be doing when cleaning the bike. I'm not new to bikes but have never had a Matt finish on one...

Well donned the cold weather gear and set of with heated grips set at full this morning. It was clear how good a job hand guards do as I quickly reduced the setting on heated grips as they were too warm even though it was only 3 degrees outside temperature. Well riding bike I have to say...
