Has anyone had a restrictor kit fitted after purchasing? If so, could you tell me what sort of cost this set you back please? Been quoted £150 for a restrictor kit and £30 to fit. Wondering if it can be done cheaper. Many thanks!

Does anyone on here have access to the book prices for motorbikes? I'm interested in what my MT would be worth as a trade in. March 2014 bike, 3500 miles. Decent condition!

After a reviewing the many options and choices of exhausts that have been launched for the mt-07. I think I'm drawn to the scorpion most, based on sound, reputation and their attitude towards stock fueling and dyno testing. In terms of look however, it would have to be the steel or titanium...

Having experimented with the official yamaha sports screen since getting it, adjusting the angle etc. I've decided that I prefer the bike without it. So its now come off again. Whilst it does an admirable job of taking some of the air blast off your body and shoulders, it instead directs...

I've had the inevitable boo boo today. After taking the bike out with a bit of a cold, I pulled up at home, switched it off and went to put it on the side stand. Except that I hadn't put it down! I only realised this once I was past the point of no return but managed a gentle lay down...

Fitted it today, looks alright but the jury's still out for me on it as it creates lots of clean air to your chest but blasts it all at your helmet. Also, fitting was harder than I wanted as it attaches to the fork top clamps and not the light fitting, so ideally you need a torque wrench...

I assume all of you folks are keeping an eye on your oil level? Anyone experiencing any consumption? I'm not fortunately, but did notice after my first service that the level they'd filled to was towards the bottom of the sight glass rather than top (when checked in line with the manual). So...

As the title really, is the MT your only bike or does it form part of a garage of bikes that you have for different occaisions or types of ride? Perhaps more to the point; what do you mainly expect from it. A commuter, weekend fun, an affordable touring option? All of the above??

I have been tempted to spend out on some luggage capabilities for my MT to allow some longer trips. My initial thinking is that the yam soft side panniers and a kreiga 10 and 20 set for the back seat might be my best option without permenantly modifying. But there is also the tank bag/map...

How do people find the MT for slow riding, u turns, maneuvers and the like? It's something I was quite good at whilst learning on a BM (and having to do mod 1); but I find it a bit trickier on the MT. I don't know if its because its lighter and tips in a bit quicker?

As a belated birthday present to myself, I have bought a Drift HD ghost to bugger about with. I've opted for the handle bar clamp and external mic so should have a few mounting options. I.e. helmet cam with my ramblings, or on board footage with a decent engine sound. Any one use one of...

Has anyone had their bike back from the first service and noticed a difference in the bike? Now I did go renegade and have mine done at a more local bike engineers (much closer to home and a family recommendation) who used a putoline semi synth (right spec) rather than yamalube... but the bike...

Glad to see lots of people starting to get their bikes come through. How are you getting on with them? 580 miles in and I love mine; great fun to ride and a seriously punchy engine for the size (confirmed by a fellow rider who rides much bigger bikes). My general riding confidence on it has...

I thought I'd start a thread for members to share their biking history; riding experience, previous bikes, any accidents or tales, etc. I'm a relatively new rider having passed my test in October last year. So mine shouldn't take long! I learned on one of those DAS courses in June 2013 and...

Is anyone going on a nice ride this weekend? Or have you been on one? Unsure for me this weekend, having done 150 last weekend, and two commutes this week I've not done bad for riding and have to get some DIY done.

Anyone who knows about suspension planning on adjusting the preload on their rear shock when they get their bike? I think the standard setting is 3 of 12... I am tempted to ask yamaha for their shock vs. weight recommendations for average riding. If the factory setting is for a 10st test rider...

This could just be down to me being an idiot as I'm relatively new to bikes, but I thought I would share this for any of you guys picking up your bikes soon. I find the sidestand is quite long on the MT-07 compared to some other bikes I have experience handling, and it is quite far forward when...

Well, since I troubled our site admin to get this section opened - I should probably use it! As per my imaginative username; I'm Phil. I'm fairly new to riding as I only passed my test last year, and had a little YBR-125 to do my "apprenticeship" for a year or so before that - so this is my...

Once your shiny new MT-07 arrives, post a picture here! Here's mine on a sunny ride last saturday:

Reading many of the posts on here it seems many of you guys are waiting for your bikes on order. Has anyone managed to buy one of the early ones from the showroom? I was lucky to pick up mine last saturday and have managed a few hundred miles so far :) Looking forward to hearing others...
