    Left mirror and front mudguard / fender needed

    Thanks to a couple of rookie mistakes (dropped the bike inside my garage) I find I'm in need of a genuine left hand mirror and a front mudguard for my MT-09 so if you have either or both available please give me a shout before I call the dealer for a shock when they give me their price. Thanks.

    Back wheel locking up down changing from 2 to1

    Hi there, just back from a "spirited" 4 days in the Germany/Luxembourg area and I found a rather hideous problem when I was down changing using engine braking into hairpins, especially on the downhill sections when the back wheel locked up momentarily when going into 1st. At lower revs, not a...

    Guys, I recently upgraded my 2015 R1 and now have the stock suspension/wheels ( magnesium ) gathering dust in my garage. However, I also have a 2014 MT-09 which I would like to add these parts to if possible. I've already asked my Yamaha dealer about this and they suggested that the...

    Rear wheel not tracking/following front wheel perfectly

    Anyone had this situation? If I place two long straight edges against the rear tyres and then measure the gap from this edge to the front tyre I have a gap of 1/2 inch on near side and 1 1/2 inch on the offside-a difference of about an inch overall. The straight edges I am using are not flexing...

    2 technical questions

    1) on the MT09, after how many km, did you replaced the front brake pads? and are there any good aftermarket pads? 2) Let's say that you can do suspension upgrades only to one end of the motorcycle on the MT09, which one would you modify? Only the front or only the rear and why ? Thank you for...

    New wheel needed

    After hitting a piece of 4" x 4" fence post that some nice lorry driver dropped right in front of me on the motorway, I am now in need of a new front wheel. Can anyone suggest where the best place to get one is please? Fowlups have quoted me a shade over £500. Does that sound about right or what?

    Suspension adjustment

    I currently have the suspension set up at factory settings, ie everything at mid point. Now I'm no expert but having read a few articles I thought I'd try a sag test. So by measuring the height of the front and rear indicators before and after sitting on the bike I have 25mm at the front and...

    Suspension settings for longer trips with luggage

    Hi all. I have a Tracer with a topbox and sidecases. In a month I'll be driving a longer trip with the panniers fully loaded and with a passenger. So far I've tightended the front suspension preload and rebound a bit, and adjusted the rebound on the rear shock. The settings are nice enough now...

    Speedo pick up and gearing..

    Doing a chain and sprocket change on the bike soon and was thinking of going down one on the front sprocket.. I know the speedo over reads at the mo. Am I right thinking going down one on the front will make this worse? Where does the speedo pick up its signal from? ECU or a gearbox or wheel...
