    Let's talk Belly Pans

    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 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...

Note that I recently fitted a Puig touring screen as well, which I am also very satisfied with as I no...

    Exhaust Issue

    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 (...

    Suspension Adjustments

    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...

    Best $20 I have spent

    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...

    Mud and Muck everywhere. Rear Wheel Hugger?

    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...

    Mud and Muck everywhere. Rear Wheel Hugger?

    Hi Simoncrp, Yes, it will. My recommendation is that you purchase and fit a Pyramid Plastics ( UK company ) combined tyre hugger and chain guard. They are are from being the cheapest out there, but they are very good quality, and the fit is absolutely spot-on. Other tyre hugger manufacturers...

    Hi Crypto, He chose the Super Corsa's because IMHO they are the stickiest tyres that money can buy. Yes, there will be some track days, and yes that is why I have a Willbers rear shock on order for the MT. Unless I am caught out, I do not intend riding in the rain, but living in Queensland...

    Hi Mt. Portugal, The amount of power has nothing to do with fitting Pirelli Diablo Super Corsa SP's to your bike. It all has to do with the degree of grip that the tyres give you. And the SP's are brilliant!!!!
