My 2016 MT 09 has been a delight to ride. Not only does the 3 cylinders deliver enough power smoothly throughout the rev range but handles beautifully. It is light to manoeuvre and low enough for me to place both feet flat on the ground when stationary. I have removed the rear footrest and...
Hi guys, first post on the forum and just wanted to share my diy rear fender mod. Free, easy and looks nice and clean. Will try to post pictures and how to if interested
There has been a recent MT09 hanldebars recall.
FYI you can check your MT09 here:
- Yamaha Motor UK
You can get there all recall letters in pdf. Useful if yours is used like mine and you can't receive letters from Yamaha.
The nice bit is you will see there all recalls for your specific VIN...
I had a test ride on the new RS yesterday mainly cos I had a early R which was a great bike,before I set off on the new bike I nearly said I won't bother as the clocks have too many options,I asked the dealer to turn all the TC off but after he had shown me how to do it my eyes had glazed over...
Hi would be interested to know if you partner rides if so what bike do they ride ?
There has been an increase of new and returning riders here in QLD and nice to see a few females amongst them. Its also good to see the rise in rider respect it wasnt great before compared to the UK. Didnt...
Picked up a nice tracer yesterday. Has a couple of nice extras on it which swayed me In the end. Love riding it and the exhaust is lovely.
Any other owners down near Maidstone Kent?
A few posts in and i thought i quick intro would be good..
I'm in West Yorkshire, been biking for a few years on 125's and did my Cat A a few weeks ago, first present to myself was a nice new MT09, 15 reg, Race Blu. :D
It's got some Rizoma bits, the ubiquitous Akrapovic exhaust (baffle in! -...
Not being able to just near £100 for the Yamaha (Gilles) chain adjuster block, I picked these billet one up on Ebay for £35, arrived in a couple of days and fitted this morning. I think they look a lot nice than the OE ones, and seem to be a lot more sturdy. I also added a nice new stainless...
Just completed fitting this to my bike. Very nice can and cheap. I managed to get another complete OEM exhaust for £100 so the total cost was less than £320. No CAT or db killer and wow does it sound nice.
Has anyone changed theirs?
I'm not going to spend upwards of £160 to £180 for these so open to pointers.
I've seen a nice set on eBay item number 111895660763.
Any comments would be appreciated.

Had my bike for a week now and managed to do 120 miles avoiding the rain.
My first thoughts.
gear box is a little clunky hopefully it will get better with time, I cant see the rear tyre lasting to long:D. self cancelling indicators would have been a nice touch.
But apart from that i'm living...
Okay being a bunch of hairy arsed bikers no doubt there are one or two us who partake of the vine , the hops or the grain.
So what is your favourite tipple.
I have to admit to being rather fond during the long winter months of a wee dram. Now depending if it is for pleasure or one just wants to...
Last week I installed Kev's O2 controller right after getting the Tracer from the dealer and riding it home for 95 km's through the pouring rain...
So, can't really say something about the bike before the controller (didn't really experienced any annoying snatchiness, many talk about)
but with...
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...
Hi guys and gals. Recently ordered myself a nice new MT and can't wait to get it. I've also booked it in for a suspension overhaul. Having a few bits taken off my FZ and put onto the MT.
Evening everyone, has everyone seen the Upcoming Events post regarding the MT meet in Stratford upon Avon in September.
It's not just for MT owners, so ok to bring mates with different bikes... Take a look, would be nice to get some interest going and get a great get together going.... Sure it...
