    Black Widow Exhaust - is it too loud for City Communting (230mm can)

    2 Year update on the Black widow GP full system: I changed the baffle for the DB killer one as sold on the black widow website, to be honest it did not seem to lessen the DB - but it does sound better with the replacement baffle (not such a harsh sound) I ride most of the winter and it has held...

    Black Widow Exhaust - is it too loud for City Communting (230mm can)

    Thought I would update everyone on the Black Widow exhaust. Been on for about 8 months with no problems, did not adjust the fuelling and no flat spots were detected, the exhaust headers went a nice bronze colour (good sign the engine is not running lean) and the exhaust has stood up well to a...

    Black Widow Exhaust - is it too loud for City Communting (230mm can)

    OK so I fitted the Black Widow 230mm GP can last night, if you don't have the clearance or it touches the frame then you don't have it lined up correctly, can be a pain fitting and trying to keep the exhaust washers in at the same time (even with grease holding then in) As for the sound, even...

    Yamaha LED Indicator Plus lights - quick warning for UK and Euro peeps

    Guys, Had the Official Yamaha Indicator Plus units fitted to my new MT-07 but when I picked it up then were not working, complained and the mechanic said they were illegal with the running lights working.. so a bit of a waste of money? So coming from a legal background I did some investigating...

    Black Widow pre-install thoughts and ideas

    Hi Guys, So I finally got the 230mm GP style Black Widow exhaust, to be honest the bike has only done 55 miles (know that perhaps I should wait for the first service) but coming from a 2012 Dorsoduro supermoto with a nice growl and bearing in mind all my riding is in heavy commute traffic I...

    Digital Display

    Wont be needing that in England, sun damage is not something we need to worry about.. more like rust damage from the constant rain and the tons of salt the council use (mostly when not required) : )

    Black Widow Exhaust - is it too loud for City Communting (230mm can)

    Hi Guys, Picked up my Moto Cage on Sunday and it is a great bike (farewell Aprilia Dorsoduro) the big downside (for me) is that unlike the Dorsoduro this thing is at quiet as a mouse. I really don't like filtering with this bike as it so quiet and I like to announce my arrival if possible to...

    MT-07 Throttle cable routing looks wrong - can you guys please confirm from picture?

    Hi Guys, I have just received my new MT-07 from the dealer but I have noticed that the throttle cable routing past the headstock seems to pinch the cables and I'm sure it should go through the loop (see picture) Can you guys please let me know before I go moaning to the dealer as at the...

    New MT-07 Moto Cage owner on the loose...

    Hi Everyone, thought I would say a quick hello, coming from a lifelong supermoto rider I was surprised how easy the MT-07 is to ride but also has the speed to dart around all the traffic (I have a heavy traffic commute) and the Aprilia Dorsoduro was getting too big and heavy and I wanted to...
