Very informative thread. Just ordered a set of connectors to hook up my eBay special USB cable that is currently connected direct to the battery. Any idea if the connector would take two devices? I'm going to get a set of oxford grips for this winter. I know the new version connects direct...

Finally got round to taking a picture - fitted the sw-mototec rack (which went quite smoothly given my normal bodge-it approach) - will post another with the top-box on. Not the clearest.... Mods so far: Fabbri GEN-X Sport Headlight Fairing Screen Acerbis X-Tarmac Hand-guards (unwired)...

I get the same issue. Originally rode with a more low profile boot (more like a hiking boot than a bike boot). Since I've switched to a bike boot I can't get 4th upwards consistently unless I edge my foot out to the side and only use the very end of the gear selector. Is it possible to adjust...

Sensible to pick such a quiet road to practice their wheelies. Think I might head out to the M1 tomorrow morning for a bit of a noon :rolleyes:

I know, what a Sunday to be busy! Didn't manage to get out until after 7pm but managed to get a bit of a loop in before it was fully dark.

Left it a bit late so it was a bit dark for the photo...but threw in a stately home for good measure.....just missed the nearest sheep having a piss - I seem to have that effect on them :-0 Next: Full moon on Tuesday so your bike, and you if you like, howling at the moon.

It is - matt grey with ABS. Feel guilty now if you guys have all been waiting longer. But, I think these are probably more the dealer not finalising things with the original bike orderer rather than yamaha sending bikes the wrong countries.

Cheers, I'm not sure whether I'll connect the lights to start with - I'm a bit hesitant to mess with the electrics...

They do look the business. I've got a set of these I plan to fit - when my bike turns up. Was it the fitting kit that slides inside the bar that you used? And are there any internals to remove first?

Well I don't know how but my November delivery bike is in store - off today to do final paperwork - hopefully pickup next week! I assume someone must have pulled out of a deal somewhere along the lines.... Pleased is an understatement - was seriously considering postponing until next year...

Just in case Lex_Lee isn't interested I might be. Sent you a PM.

Cheers, just hope there's no snow on the ground when it arrives....

Just ordered mine and been told November!

I've just ordered an MT07 and, due to a pretty bad case of Reynaud's, I'll need to fit heated grips. The dealer is suggesting Oxfords (which I have on my current bike) - just interested if Yam do an official option (can't see it in the brochure) - I wonder if the official grips would keep it...

Hi All, Just ordered my matt grey ABS MT07 after a cracking test ride yesterday. It's a totally different beast to my current Yamaha naked (XJ600N) which was dubbed by MCN as the Astra Diesel of the motorcycling world. The really bad news is that it won't be arriving until the November - not...
