getting wet butt !

[Birdy]

Hi, new to site, never joined anything before, well except navy ! love my mt ,i ride my bikes all year round , which brings me to my only bum note about the bike I am getting soaked from the rear tyre ! Any one know of any products in the pipeline, huggers or whatever ? Still not enough to stop this being my all time fave bike, and i have owned about 80 over the years [ 46 year old git] Funnily enough , last bike to get me wet and smelly from the rear [ oo- err] was another Yam , TDR 250. That was a loon bike as well . If no one makes anything soon , gonna bodge something with plastic and cable ties, wont be pretty lol !

not aware of any thing at the moment, but I do know a tail tidy makes the problem worse!

actually, pyramid plastics have this on their site

i saw that online during the week, it's not going to keep your butt dry, but it will keep the underside clean i suppose. Looks half assed

R&G are working on a rear hugger as opposed to a fenda extenda (like the pic above), pictures will be up on their site soon.

 

[stevecbr]

Pyramid also have this on their site, looks ugly but should sotr out spray, called a ductail

thanks steve and psycho, glad i didnt get a tail tidy now, way down shopping list ! Right about rear fender thing, doubt it will stop much. best wait for R+G hugger. Funny that all the dross written about jerky throttle, vauge front end and such , i think is all rubbish, and not one bike journo mentioned wet arse! Fair weather riding shandy drinking sausage jockeys! Still would not have stopped me having MT though

Had the same exact same problem the other day. It had been raining and the roads were all wet. Went for a ride, not raining anymore just wet roads. And damn was my ass soaking... The fender extender seems to be a good idea. But will it stop us from getting our asses soaked?

If anyone wants some proper textiles for the wet and cold at an absolute bargain take a look in the "for sale" section...!

I have really been enjoying the CBF1000 in all this shitty weather lol. Haven't missed riding the MT at all lol

How about this -
R&G RACING BLACK REAR HUGGER FAIRING FITS YAMAHA MT-09 MT09 2013 ON | eBay

Or this -
Yamaha MT-09 GRP Motorcycle Hugger Black | eBay

Neither is pretty but both should be better than the original
You could always take it off again in the summer !

yeah I thought you liked that .

You'd need a meter long rear hugger to make any differences
I don't know why peeps keep posting suggesting extensions to the original as an option to prevent 'wet arse'
I think the biggest mistake most of us made was getting rid of the original tail piece and fitting a 5x7 number plate
If anyone is still running the original then your input would be worthwhile
I have the Pyramid plastics rear hugger ( no positive affect on 'WA') and now the rooster tail
Can't report on the latter yet as I've mostly been in HU since March ish. Hired a 1200 GS out here a few weekends and on a KTM 990 this weekend
Yes the rooster retail looks sh!te but so does being cover in road filth (wet is just a part of it)
I guess Yam consider their set I up is sound so no change on their x version :-(

 

[Triple Trouble]

Bloody hell.....hello stranger lol. Long time no speak...!
Ur absolutely rite on the hugger front tho.

thanks steve and psycho, glad i didnt get the anal probe now, way down shopping list ! Right about rear bender thing, doubt it will stop much. best wait for some young scouts or public school boys. Funny that all the dross written about jerking myself off whilst riding my MT, vauge front end and nice tight young botty , i think is all rubbish, and not one bike journo mentioned wet arse! Fair weather riding shandy drinking sausage jockeys! Still would not have stopped me having a lovely bum on my MT though

yeah I saw that in the paper birdy.
