    Starter relay

    I have a 2017 07 that I bought last March. I had done just under 5000 miles when the starter relay packed in. Thankfully the bike was still under warranty, so no issue (other than nconvenience) in getting the bike fixed. My dealership told me that they've had a few bikes in with the same...

    Has anyone got bored of their MT07?

    Hi guys, I am currently on an L plate on a YBR125. I have my first DAS lesson next week, i'm excited but quite nervous to be honest as i have never ever rode a 600cc bike. I believe its a Suzuki Gladius 650? Anyway, I passed my CBT just before Xmas 2017, bought my 125 which i have had for 2 and...

    Hello From Western NY

    I just found out about these bikes when I was looking for a bike with better suspension then my honda shadow has. I have looked at the NC700x, Versys, and the V-Strom and now I am going to look into this bike. I have not ruled out any bike yet, but want to find out what people like and dislike...

    Bike Stolen!

    So I came out my house on Sunday morning to find that my bike had been nicked during the night from my driveway! I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised living in London... So the question is, what do I buy now?

    Black Widow Exhaust - is it too loud for City Communting (230mm can)

    Hi Guys, Picked up my Moto Cage on Sunday and it is a great bike (farewell Aprilia Dorsoduro) the big downside (for me) is that unlike the Dorsoduro this thing is at quiet as a mouse. I really don't like filtering with this bike as it so quiet and I like to announce my arrival if possible to...

    MT 07 to be first bike

    Got my CBT booked for 7th Jan. Once passed I'll get the theory booked and the DAS. Been to Yamaha in Flitwick today to buy some clothing and a helmet. They are my local dealer which is handy too. The MT 07 will be my first bike. I'm 41 now, so after owning 33 cars I think it's time for a...

    Bye-Bye MT07

    Well, I traded in my MT07 today and collect my new bike on Monday. The 07 has been a good little bike but I've come to the conclusion that I prefer something larger with more cylinders. Trouble is, bikes like that now seem to fall into two categories: Full-on sportsbikes (which are just too...

    Buy 2016 MT07, wait till next year to see if update on MT 07 or buy 2017 MT09?

    Hi, I'm in a quandary, a dealer is selling the 2016 MT 09 for about the same price as the MT 07 (£6234 OTR) and I am not sure which way to go? They are doing this because a new 2017 MT 09 is going on sale in December. I was unsure if I wanted an MT 07 or an MT 09 in the first place, now I don't...

    Something to check as our bikes reach 2 years old and beyond.

    Head bearings. Apparently these as fitted in the factory to the MT07 are of the same kind of standard as the rest of the bike, and don't last as far as you'd expect them to. There have been a few cases of them being replaced under warranty, for the lucky few people whose warranties were...
