Sorry didn't see this one before. Unless they changed something since the 15 model the rev limit is Throttle plate. Power limit is inlet restrictors and other things ( 5th and 6th are rev/speed limited in all models)

I am 63. This bike appeals to the younger rider because of it Manga agressive looks and FUN ride. This bike appeals to the older, and often long experienced rider, DESPITE it's Manga agressive looks and because of it being really fun to ride. Light like bikes were before they got covered in...

Because people use the same word for different things I have to ask the following: By exhaust do you mean the muffler, NOT the whole exhaust system. The muffler is actually an ADDITION to the exhaust system. The silencing and restriction issues are not directly length dependent, but can be. A...

Cyls are part of the cases and coated.

There is a picture of the can cut open on this or another forum and I don't remember seeing a cat, now that you mention it. Just a labyrinth tube cavity. Might have been in the flared input section though.

Been seeing quick reviews ( maybe pretend teasers from the company). One big thing is the tank is actually a decent size instead of the peanut harley size tank on the MT/FZ. May upgrade if the real one is released in Aus but word is the ridiculous toy version will be coming here. What would be...

Found these when I was looking for pistons for my Suzuki project. Want hi quality hi comp piston straight swap? 12.5:1 http://www.wiseco.com/PDFs/YamahaFZ07-4.pdf

Wiseco is now making a hi comp( 12.5:1) piston kit for the MT07. DO NOT KNOW yet is the 655 MT can be bored as I am unable to find if the bores are a: have liners big enough to bore out 2 mm and b: if the bores are coated which would stop boring them out.

Only just seen this thread. The pop rivet placing in the photo could probably use a rethink. The side rivets are in a position where they have the maximium leverage load from the CoG of the extender. Might be a big more reliable with the rivets up on the upper bits so they are closer to the...

I looked and gave up and made one in carbon fibre. There is a Ducati style outrigger one I have see that seems to work OK.

Derestriction story by me in the Australia section. An update. Now we know it is the air inlet stacks on the outside of the throttle bodies and fixing it works, A better path than grinding them is getting the HO ones and swapping them. That way you can put it back to std if you sell it...

Phillips now make a new design LED with the emmiters the same size and position as a QI bulb. They cut off much better and focus better. They are also sold under some other brand names. http://www.philips.com.au/c-p/12953BWX2/x-treme-ultinon-led-led-car-lamp.

Used a Booster plug on both my Husky tr650 and my BMW f800R. Worked really well....until the ECU figured out that it was supplying too much fuel. Then it slowly got bad again and you would have to reset by removing running it for a while and putting it back on. The MT may NOT have the same...

I think the reason the two bikes are so similar, is the riders, not the bikes ( necessarily) . Just look ate the number of MT/FZ riders that also had RD/RZ 250/350's . I am included in this. The bike for some reason appeals to the same sort of riders. Personally in most ways I think the 2...

From the exploded diagram grafting an 09 front end MAY be problematic. The diagram shows a stepped steerer tube and It MAY be a bigger bottom bearing. MAY mean you can't fit it into the head tube or you MAY have to fit an adapter into the bottom of the head tube. Might be possible to turn down...

Which lowering link did you get? There is an Aussie made lowering/ raising/std height one, but I guess a bit late now. You will miss the VTR250 though. Most under-rated bike made I reckon. I raced one for a while. The power delivery is not dissimiliar on the MT because of the crank config , just...

By "boosted" I am assuming turbo or supercharged motors. When you get up to higher pressures it is possible to get to, or near, the critical pressure. ie the pressure where it will spontaneously ignite ( think diesel). At those higher cyl pressure extra fuel will in fact combust even with less...

Dexter and sinister??? Latin for right and left...

I AM waiting for a good heads up display. Something that should be on cars and bikes as far as I am concerned. So long as it works properly. Especially one you can focus at infinity then I would be able to read my instruments properly without swapping glasses to my reading ones ( which I find...

Running a motor at 11 or 10 to 1 isn't cooling. It's almost not fireable. Mine with a reflashed and DNA airfilter and I get AFR's of 10.5:1 at limit (10500). That's not cooling that's fuel wastage. I have never had a racing motor ( don't usually play with my road motors. The MT has been an...
