    My Mrs made some comment about how much I spend riding bikes. I did some man maths.

    Interesting this. I use my MT07 mostly to commute, and occasionally at weekends. I use my R1 for weekends, and occasionally to commute. I could have just one bike of course, but I like having a spare, it's 2 hours to get to work from where I am on public transport, the bike is less than an...

    Bike got stuck during stationary rest

    Hi guys, it's been awhile. I had this rather peculiar issue with my machine. It seems like sometimes when I want to push the bike out from stationary rest, the bike is 'stuck' and cant be move. Gear is in neutral. And I had to like uhm, force push it and I will clear a rather loud thud...

    First trip of the year.

    So I took the bike out for the first time this year. I parked the bike back in late October last year, not battery charger or anything, and 4,5 months later it fires right up without any trouble at all. That impressed me. The trip was cold, so it was not a very long one, I see I have to work...

    Hi from another New London Member

    Hi Have been reading various posts, and having now decided for sure to get an MT 07, thought it was about time to say hello. Not yet bought my bike, still looking for the right one, and unfortunately can't quite stretch to new, but hopefully my patience will be rewarded shortly! I've come...

    Brand New Bike - Numpty Question!

    Picked up my brand new MT07 in Night Fluro this morning :) Very different from my CBR600F (which also conveniently I sold privately today too :) ) On the offside of the bike, somewhat below the seat is some grey foam/sponge material. I'm guessing this is transit type packing material? I just...

    Yamaha comfort seat

    Just got the Yamaha comfort seat and installed it on the bike. Have not been able to try it out yet because of snow and ice covering most of Sweden :p The seat looks amazing and from just sitting on the bike in the garage I think it will be great for longer trips. Cant wait for summer to...

    Is the MT-07 really like a modern day RD 400 (1976-1978) or RD 350 (1980-82)?

    :) I thought I would ask MT-07 owners if the MT-07 is really like a modern day RD 400 or RD 350? Being a 2007 ER-6F owner I think the MT-07 is the bike for me if it is like those bikes I described because I had a 1977 Yamaha RD 400, and that was and still is my favorite bike. I'm concerned...

    Movement in Handlebars

    I realized recently that when sitting on my bike, if I grip the handlebars and push and pull them backwards and forwards there is a bit of movement in them, as if they are not fixed tightly to the forks. The movement is at the point where they are covered in rubber - see my picture below. Is...
