Test road the mt 09 yesterday and all I can say is wow. Coming from a gsxr 750 the mt was so much more fun to ride only bad point I would say was the snatchy throttle but can live with that. Is there any other problems to look out for on them as hoping to put a deposit down on a mt 09 street rally tomorrow .

Uber-Crap suspension, third rate cam chain tensioner and rubber corks in the coolant expansion bottle, apart from that pretty much a good bike so far. Adjusting the CO levels does help, I've the standard exhaust and ramped mine up to 7 for the three pots and I'm happy.

Rubber cork in the coolant bottle ?
It's supposed to be a cap, but as others found out on here it pops off like a cork, I found mine wanted pushing back on whilst cleaning the exhaust headers yesterday (and the coolant wants topping up).
