I was replying to another post this morning, and whilst referring to the highway code I realised that filtering was not such as gray area as I thought. In fact the highway code mentions it a few times as a perfectly legal manoeuvre for motorcyclists or cyclists (as long as no other rules are...
I've got a couple of short videos I posted on YouTube showing 'misbehaving' drivers whilst out and about on my MT-07. Well the second one wasn't dangerous, but he was annoying...
Anyone else got any?

First the video for anyone who is merely curious, followed by a detailed explanation for those more interested in the project. Note that the image on the phone screen is clearer in real life than how my helmet cam captured it.

There's a new motorcycle game called Ride coming out on 20th March 2015. I thought it might interest folk here because it's got loads of standard 2014 bikes from all the major manufacturers, including (of course) the MT-07 and MT-09.
Here's the official site: Ride Videogame
Here's the list of...
Just thought it was worth posting this link for yet another new IXIL exhaust for the MT-07 about to hit the market, especially for anyone still deciding which aftermarket system to get. I can only find it on the IXIL USA site at the moment but I'm sure it will hit Europe soon as it does appear...
As a consequence of some recent threads discussing the negatives of the MT-07 (don't get me wrong they are very valid discussions e.g. rust) I thought we should redress the balance and remember what we love about this bike.
So name the first thing about the MT-07 that made you...
I've just finished minimalizing the rear of my MT-07 and thought I'd share some photos. The products I used were:
Evotech Tail Tidy
Yamaha LED Indicators
Ermax Seat Cowl
Bruudt Pillion Footpeg Blanking Plates (cheaper than others)
Shame to put a number plate on really :p
I've just finished fitting an Evotech tail tidy and the Yamaha LED indicators to my MT-07, I just need to finally position the load resistors to the rear of the bike to complete the job. The only place they seem to fit is in the plastic channel to the side of the storage compartment which also...
Has anyone got any of the Ermax white/black satin accessories such as the rear hugger or rear seat cover? I've just taken delivery of the seat cover and although it's not too bad, the white doesn't quite match the Yamaha white - it's a bit 'duller' in appearance.
On photographs it looks...
I've just got my new MT-07 after a long wait for the dealer to get stock, I'm well chuffed :D Having had a play with the various bits on the bike I've noticed something about the mirror threads. The left hand mirror tightens in a clockwise direction (normal RH thread) and the right hand mirror...
