I don't trust mine, they are all bent and I rely on them when the bike is parked up in the garage, it sits on one of those paddock stands that have dolly wheels on so I can push it right up against the wall in the garage. So can anyone recommend rear paddock stand bobbins that have nice strong...
Sadly had to sell the bike as needed some new teeth and still have the exhaust to sell on,
It was only on the bike for a month before i sold it and it transforms the sound, both baffles are removable but i found with both in was still beautiful,
the small scrape on the bottom is from a curb...
Hi Guys just a quick note to let you know I have just sold my bike, the forum has been a good place to find out information and help from the members in the 3 years of owning the bike I have really enjoyed it but it's time to move on and try something different, a big thanks to TT (Richie)...
Hi All,
any ideas for cheap alternative of the expensive SW and Hepko center stands for MT09?
INB4 I do not like ABBA stands, paddock stands or any other garage equipment. I need something on the bike that can be used everywhere if I need to work on or clean my bike.
Hi - Is possible to fit a centre stand to a Street Rally with an Acrapovic already in situ? ...Looks a bit packed down there...ooer...and perhaps the end of the pipe is that much lower than standard. Any ideas??
Thanks

Hi Folks
I have an MT- 09 currently with the Akrapovic carbon fitted which I love! I am about to change to a Tracer as I am finding the MT a little small for my 6'1 16 stone frame, and would like a nice pipe for the wonderful sound! Can anyone tell me which pipes fit and retain the centre stand...
Hi just picked up my new tracer (very nice) and was wondering if anybody out there has fitted the carbon Akrapovic exhaust? I took it off my MT09 and want to fit it to the Tracer, I know its possible but you have to remove the centre stand. With the Akrapovic you get a spacer to fill the gap...
Okay folks so which way do you adjust your drive chain. I suspect there is no difference , the owners manual says adjust on the side stand, the service manual says adjust on a Paddock stand.
Both methods give the same settings 5mm>15mm. must admit 5mm seems tight to me even 15mm seems tight...
Well, after some research into Tracer exhaust options which retain the centre stand, I've fitted an IXIL Hyperlow full system with twin exit pipes and I'm loving it !! It's a well made bit of kit, possibly not the absolute lightest as it's a substantial thing (although lighter than the original...
Now I know that marks on the swing arm for chain adjustment are never exactly right, but generally they are not bad as a guide. I reckon that the Tracer however is horrendous.
Add to this that the centre stand gets in the way of doing a traditional string line, there central frame pivot hasn't...
Took my bike out of the garage today and left it on my drive on the side stand. Got the rest of my kit on and came back to the bike to find a pool of fluid below the bike. On further inspection it appears to be leaking from the bottom radiator hose on the side stand side. I tried to tighten the...
So tonight i said goodbye to my amazing MT09 and took delivery of a charcoal Tracer which is just awesome. Ive spent the weekend taking my carbon akrapovic, crash bungs and bobbins off ready to go onto my new machine.
So...the question to ask you all is does the carbon akra fit with the centre...
well finally fitted the Yamaha genuine side stand foot !! then took it straight back off !!!!!! the fitting was a nightmare I had to really bend the top plate so it didn't strip the bolt thread holes in the aluminium base trying to tighten it on , one bolt was directly under the stand bar so...
hi all , anybody using the abba superbike stand ? used one on the MT 07 but had to take side plates off first , just wondering if you need to remove anything off the MT 09 too , cheers
