    I did something a bit stupid today....

    The bike will likely be perfectly fine, They have rev limiters for that :) I know the feeling though, I went to pass someone and failed on my upshift, horrible noises, I was like crap! my gears :< but these things are built stronger than a little failed shift can break.

    UK Road tax

    Well it depends how much your time to fill out the old form and send back your tax disk was worth. I like it, it just removes work, you can buy tax online, I pay my tax now by direct debit so it just comes out each month and will continue to until I sell my bike.

    UK Road tax

    You get a automatic refund for the tax. When I sold a Car not long ago, the next week I got a cheque for the remaining tax. You only get if from the start of the next month, S0 if you sell a car on the 1st, you lose that months tax. But when you trade in a car for £350 and get £100 back...

    UK Road tax

    https://www.gov.uk/check-vehicle-tax ANPR is not everything, If your vehicle is not taxed and not declared SORN you will get an automatic fine of £80. Oh and don't use any car parks with camera's or petrol stations as the police have access to that information.

    Anyone Mounted a Go Pro on their MT07?

    https://youtu.be/L67ky6acyxA?t=3m35s I had mine on the windscreen till I dropped the bike and smashed the screen. I normally find the helmet is a better place with the anti-vibration your body provided. Though I guess something on the handlebars would be good with the lack of vibration there on...

    Speedo Accuracy

    I find most speedo's are set to about 10% under. So that 33mph you did past the police car hidden around the blind corner clocks you at 30.

    Don't Buy a Yamaha

    With my last bike after getting a puncture. I bought a second hand set of wheels and tyres. Then when it came to swap, I just took the wheels off, put them in my car and got them sorted as loose wheels. If I got a puncture again I could put a spare wheel on and change the now spare wheels when...

    UK Insurance

    I'm 28 with 4 years no claims on this policy. Just checked back through my emails and the price I paid for TPTT was £141.59 I do live in the middle of nowhere though, And the bike is locked inside. Give it a few more years and you should have some nice cheap bike insurance. I never started...

    UK Insurance

    I was with MCE when I swapped from my 125 to the MT, Cost me about £250 for the swap and they extended my policy end date by 6 months at the same time. Which was confusing. When it came to renewal, they quoted around £750 So I'm now with RAC for my insurance, Cost about £250 again. One thing is...

    Dead battery

    I would be surprised if it needs a new battery. A jump start or bump start and a ride would charge it back up. The cells will still be good just no charge. Battery's always last less in colder weather, and the battery on the bike will be smaller than your car. For long times of not using, It...

    New tyres for the MT-07

    For my Maxxis it was around £100 delivered. A local tyre fitting place charged £15 to fit and balance (though handed over £20 as this was xmas eve) As for the recommendation, My bike instructor has them fitted to all the big bikes at the centre and swears by them.

    New tyres for the MT-07

    I got a puncture so replaced my rear tyre with the Maxxis MA3DS Supermaxx Diamond, Cheapest tyre I could find but they have also been recommended. I passed my test on a set of them. In this cold weather I have felt the rear slip a lot more though its all been very controllable.

    When I fill up the bike shows full for ages, then when finally the first bar disappears, the others follow quickly.
