Dear Yamaha UK,
I purchased a new MT 09 on 06 May 17.

Hi just had my MT09 TRACER a 24000 mile service and 5 valves needed to be re shimmed,so total cost was £565.00.
expensive , never paid as much for any of my cars !!:cool:
First run out on the new tracer this aft and i am pleased with my choice even though i didnt go over 5000 rpm which is still 80 mph,on the bumpy twistie roads i think i could have got the tracer out of shape if i had gone much quicker,after my next ride i will have a play with the suspension as...
Hey everyone,

Picked up my MT-09 (naked version) on Tuesday but not got much riding in cos I'm getting ready to move house, so busy sorting out the garage and sheds and the house doing lots of dump runs. Did manage to get out for a 50 mile ride yesterday afternoon and I am chuffed that this bike is so good ...

I have used the Bridgestone S20 as the tyres, at £240 a pair and they last 2500 miles =9.6p a mile
Petrol at £6 a gallon, and my MT does about 55mpg =10p a mile...
