    Sliding forward on MT-09 seat - mods ?

    Now this is not something I've seen anyone else write about so maybe it's just me..... I find that when sitting back in the wider part of the seat I inevitably get tilted forward a bit after some time which gets quite uncomfortable as it pushes me onto the gentlemen's area too much over an hour...

    MT Clothing range

    Just taken a look at the new range of MT clothing, seems to have grown quite a bit from a couple of years back. Think I might have to make a purchase. I've got a pair of MT cargo pants - size 33 waist, washed a few times so some fade but have all the protectors and in good condition if anyone...

    Bike cleaning tips

    Hi All, My MT-09 is the first bike I have owned and wondered if anyone could share any tips on cleaning, not too much in detail just general cleaning after a bit of a dirty ride maybe. Currently the chain etc. looks a bit grubby so I wouldn't mind giving that a thorough clean. If anyone...

    whose idea was it to...

    Deal Done

    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...

    Exhaust gaskets

    Does anyone know if you can reuse the exhaust gaskets, or do you always need to replace? I'm currently modding a standard 2nd can bought of Ebay, will probably be changing it about quite a bit, so would be handy if I didnt have to buy new gaskets every time i swapped. I know some bikes use crush...

    Hello from new MT09 owner in Northumberland

    Picked up my grey year old MT09 a week ago. I had been watching it in my local bike shop for a while and finally decided to sell my TL1000S so I could buy it..........thankfully the bike shop had not advertised it beyond their website as I am sure it would have sold quickly otherwise with all...

    Like a pogo stick on steroids! Help wanted please.

    I exaggerate a bit of course but... Since putting Ohlins springs in my otherwise completely standard forks, with standard ten weight oil, my front forks are stiffer but a bit bouncy. What I mean is they compress and rebound a bit quickly. My mechanic suggested a heavier fork oil but I wanted to...

    12k service

    Just a quick one guys... What have you been paying for a 12k service at your dealers? Got quoted £260 today.. Is that a bit steep? Thought it was just oil, filter and plugs at the 12k?? Cheers...

    Mine is going !

    Sadly things just didn't work out with me and the Tracer. It's a great bike in may ways and I have been trying to convince myself it's the bike for me but I realise it just isn't. So I am chopping it in for a Super Tenere which I had been eyeing up for a long time until the Tracer caught my eye...
