    Engine warning light

    I joined this forum because I did a search for Euro-4 details and then saw a post advising people to put their bikes on the centre stand, spin the back wheel by putting the bike into gear and applying the brake to see if the front brake lever also affected the back brake. Murphies law kicked in...

    Well She arrived today!

    After many years (8) of not having a road bike. I finally got back on the saddle with a new 2017 MT09. I have been riding enduro bikes since my last road for my two wheel fix, but must say very impressed with the new MT09. Picture is my son on my bike

    Just a heads up for ya

    When replacing your front wheel on your ABS MT after its been away for a new tyre fitted: DO NOT think you have lost a wheel spacer. DO NOT rush indoors, fire up the laptop to look at the NON ABS wheel diagram. (It has two spacers). DO NOT go back out to the garage swearing and waste half an...

I tried to adjust the clutch free-play to minimum and tightened the lever-adjusting-bolt...

    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?

    Wetting yourself on a Tracer?

    Is this occurring, as it does on the MT-09? I refer to the case, where you have the bike out in the rain, and the spray from the rear wheel ends up and giving you a very wet experience on your bum! :-) Is that sorted with the bigger rear of the Tracer?

    Wheel rim trims

    Anyone got the oem rim stickers? I've tried Wheel Rim Tape Reflective - Jesters Trick Bits Limited but with not much success-very difficult to get them sticking down flat against the side of the rim as they are supplied on a roll. I think the Yamaha trims come in 4 sections for each side of the...

    Cleaning oil fling from rear wheel

    Just interested to hear how you folks clean the rear wheel. I tend to use a bit of petrol then polish off with Autoglym which brings the wheel up fine. Cheers Tony

    Two brothers and a flash map. What's not to like?

    Just got back from my first proper ride since sorting out Martine. The first thing that amazed me was how heavy the standard exhaust system was.
