    Carrying a security chain and pillion

    Hmm.. how about around your neck? It worked for Mr. T.. I can't really find a maximum load for the Yamaha tank bags, but if the Givi is 3kg, the Yamaha probably isnt over twice the limit. If it's long enough, you might be able to attach it around the bike, between the rider seat and pillion...

    Puig Screen, filter & PlastiDip

    Looks nice.. where did you get it, and for how much? Please update the thread when you've tested the screen, would really like to know if it makes a big difference. The MT-07 is a nice street bike, but for longer rides, the wind is really tiresome imo.

    How much to stick your MT on the road, where you live?

    Yeah, its not all black and white. But with tremendous wages comes high prices. I've heard that the most sold car in Norway is/was a Tesla. And even with reduced taxes, it's an expensive car. I'm not saying you have it better, but I don't think you're worse off either. When you see the pricetag...

    How much to stick your MT on the road, where you live?

    Yeah, and I'd love to see the sales figures for the MT-07 in Congo, I bet its not near the figures for Norway or Sweden, or even Estonia :D

    How much to stick your MT on the road, where you live?

    Actually, I do think it's enough to motivate your taxes. According to wikipedia, the average net wage in Norway is about €4451 per month. The average net wage in Sweden per month is €2551. If the MT-07 costs €10600 in norway, thats about 2.4 times the average monthly net income. In Sweden the...

    Removing the akrapovic DB-killer

    That hole is so small compared to the outlet, it makes zero difference. And its on the inside of the unit, so it wont show either.

    Removing the akrapovic DB-killer

    Ya, it is LOUD. I've used my bike two times since I installed akra without db killer, and I think I might have lost a bit of hearing. Gonna try out your level of modification.

    Removing the akrapovic DB-killer

    I actually just keep the screw and the grommet with the db-killer, so I know where it is if I want to put it back. The db-killer has a nut welded in place, so it has its own threads. The tailpipe is not threaded, so if you want to put the screw back in, you'd have to insert your own nut, and...

    Removing the akrapovic DB-killer

    I was having tremendous trouble pulling the db-killer out when I installed my akra system. I pulled and pulled, I used pliers and rods and all kinds of stuff. One thing did the trick where the other approaches just seemed to harm the unit though. I took some groove-joint pliers (the important...

    Engine cuts off when the clutch lever pulled in

    I've not experienced much stalling at all, probably around 3-4 times. One of these have been after the service, which was done quite recently, so it's hard to say with any certainty. However, it's clear that the problem persists even after the service. Also, I can't say if the sync was adjusted...

    Engine cuts off when the clutch lever pulled in

    What sdrio said, electronic fuel injection. EFI sounds better than FIS though, at least to a swede ;)

    Engine cuts off when the clutch lever pulled in

    At my service, they checked the EFI sync, which I assume is the thing you're talking about? Didn't really improve anything for me that I could notice, though I probably don't have enough experience to know either way. However, the stalling is still present.

    Engine cuts off when the clutch lever pulled in

    This happened to me a few days ago. It has happened before as well, but this time it was no mistaking it for something else, and it was also the first time after the 1000 km service. I was standing still at a red light, put it into neutral, and after some time I put it back into 1st. That's...
