Hi there Craigieboy, What beeeeaauuuutiful mountain scenery...................... The Scottish highlands are truly a wonderful sight to behold!!! And, I seem to recall from a previous posting of yours, only a relatively short distance from where you live. Lucky lad!! And to think that the...

Hi addy, I needed to buy the RAM Double Socket Arm Long to allow me to position the Zuma GPS directly above the instrument cluster. Even then I still had to cut approximately 1/4" off one side of one end of the arm to allow a greater angle of "throw". Note that even with the longer RAM...

Hi Michelle333, Glad to read that you are enjoying your MT-07-HO. Have you made any modifications to your bike yet? Here are a couple of photographs of my MT-07-HO:- Here's wishing you safe riding. Regards, Alan ( aka Welsh Wizard )

Hi Craigieboy, Sorry, already taken........................... Thanks for your comment on the MT. Regards, Alan ( aka Welsh Wizard )

Hi Eddieh93, Thanks for your comment about the bike. OK, will see what I can knock together for you and the rest of the guys on the Forum. What specific mods are you particularly interested in. Let me know. BTW, just yesterday I fitted a Garmin Zumo 590LM GPS that I bought recently...

Hi Michelle 333, I note that like myself you are in Australia. I live in Brisbane (well Samford actually), whereabouts are you located? Also, it would appear that we have the same colour scheme MT-07 if that is a silver grey (not white) tank you have. How are you finding your MT-07...

Hi there Craigieboy, Your heart must be soaring riding through that beautiful Scottish countryside now that the sun has finally come out for you. Having said that I guess that the ambient air temperature was probably still a bit cool given that there is still snow on the peaks. Regards, Alan...

Hi Addy, That is a one very smart seat, and I'm very pleased to read your advice to Craigieboy that you find it more comfortable than either the Yamaha standard seat and their comfort seat. I have a feeling that I shall be investing in one of these Bagster seats. If you don't mind me asking...

Hi Guys, For what it is worth I have fitted a Puig belly pan (Part No. 7022C) and a pair of Puig radiator side covers (Part No. 7561C) and can report that I am very satisfied with both items. Note that I recently fitted a Puig touring screen as well, which I am also very satisfied with as I no...

Hi Eddieh93, I'm very satisfied with the Acropovic full titanium exhaust fitted to my MT-07. I love the sound of this exhaust, but more importantly the fuel/air mixing is still spot-on and that is after replacing the OEM air filter with a high flow K & N YA-6814 air filter. Regards, Alan (...

Hi Jateureka, I note that you had a Wilbers rear shock fitted to your MT-07. As I'm about to receive and fit a Wilbers Type 640 Road rear shock to my MT-07, I'd be really interested to hear what you thought of the difference in suspension performance between the Wilbers and the OEM rear shock...

G'Day Gregjet, My name is Alan (Welsh Wizard) and I live at Samford just 20kms north west of Brisbane. I recently traded in my 2006 Suzuki GSX-R750 and bought a Yamaha MT-07-HO . Although I absolutely love the MT-07 I have serious concern with both the front and rear suspension on the MT when...

Hi tw586, For what it is worth, I have an MT-07 that I am about to change out the rear shock on. I did a bit of research before hand and then decided to fit a Wilbers (German) Type 640 Road rear shock. It is currently on order from Germany. I also intend to replace the oil in the front forks...

Hi guys, I'm 69 and have ridden bikes for most of my life. Besides my MT-07 have owned the following bikes:- Triumph Tiger Cub - 200cc single BSA 500cc DBD34 Clubmans Gold Star Yamaha XJ750 Honda XR250 Yamaha FJ1200 Suzuki GSX-R750

Hi Simoncrp, Merry Christmas. I just love it here in Australia, or more specifically Brisbane in Queensland. Brisbane has a sub-tropical climate and the Brisbane winters are similar to the UK summers, i.e. blue cloudless skies, 25 degree C and almost no rain. To be honest I wouldn't want...
