Thanx for the info, its only a minor nuisance, and happens once in a while, will adjust clutch cable and report back if problem persists.

When I start my bike with clutch pulled in all the way and in 1st gear, in cold weather, the bike starts to set off , quite strongly, without me releasing the clutch, and as soon as its started then its fine again. It does not happen in neutral, and only when engine is very cold. Anyone else's...

I'm 21, thus it stands without reason. Gotten a lot of compliments on the race blue though (but mostly from younger generation bikers to be honest)...

Why are most against the race blue?

For some reason reminds me of the ducati 899 exhaust... I think it will look awsum once attached to the MT.

Got this beauty in the end, scorpion exo-R2000

This article is biased. He BOUGHT an SV for himself, why will he admit he made a mistake?

Ok that's a relief!! I have only done 300km so don't know what "normal" is, but the engine runs smooth, has NOT stalled once and stays well within normal operating temperatures. Anyway will check what happens during tomorrow's ride. Thanx for the info.

Coming directly out of the exhaust pipe and hits just underneath that, on the exhaust heat shield. Any advice as how I must handle this?

I just finished washing my bike and saw that there was liquid stains on the exhaust pipe. Cleaned it off and started the bike and revved it a bit and then I saw the liquid stains reappeared... I put my hand over the exhaust and revved again and felt the liquid hit my hand and it smells like...

Got mine the afternoon of the 11th for my 21st b-day and I have completely fallen in love!!! This bike is better than I could have ever wished for!!! Have done around 300km since and I just want to go and ride every chance I get... had to pop around at dealer for quick chain adjustment though...

I've been researching the MT-07 for quiet a while now, I have taken all the rivals and issues into consideration and have done my research well, going back and forth, making my mind up and changing it again about a hundred times over the last 3 months. I needed a commuter bike for city traffic...

Did Yamaha even test the MT-07 in real world conditions? There are just way too many people who have reported a stalling issue with the MT-07, and this form a modern "reliable" bike? This can't be considered acceptable!!

Hey Kanonnier, awsum to see another South African who's into naked bikes, especially the MT-07. I'm planning on buying mine next week (in race blue) as soon as my current bike is sold, but those stalling issues everyone is talking about has me very worried!!! I contacted Linex Yamaha in Randburg...

I asked Yamaha South Africa the first time I saw a bunch of people complaining about the cut-out issues. They responded with the following "We have not received any complaints of this issue from owners in South Africa, and the Factory have not informed us of any issues regarding the MT07 either...

What is the warm up temp that most of your bikes hit when its considered the bike is "properly warmed up" before riding? And what engine temps do you hit while riding?

Will something like this stand work on the MT-07? These are normally used for big cruisers and there are those for dirt bikes, but are their undersides so different that a stand like this could damage the MT? Its quiet expensive to fit the bobbins for the rear tire on the MT so wondering if...

Will the dealership be able to adjust the possible low idle revs? Or is this just something to get use to and accept with the MT? I need a reliable trustworthy bike, not one with the FEAR of stalling a constant memory, when I want to pull away at the lights, stuck filtering between cars...

Most of the MT-07's owners are in the UK with the normal UK cold weather, but how will the MT cope with a different climate, such as a warmer climate at altitude? I stay in a hot climate with temps hitting high 20s and into the 30s most of the time at an altitude of 1350m above sea level. Will...

Over here, in South Africa, the Suzuki (non abs) is cheaper than the MT-07 (with abs). Is the Suzuki a rival to the MT or are they made for different roles? Other than that the GSR is heavier and wider, has more power and is an inline 4 cylinder...
