    Start up issue

    Hello all, new member but an old owner of 2014 mt 07. My mt 07 decided to develop a problem on start. For the past week, the engine has been increasingly difficult to start. It takes about 3 seconds / 3 turnovers to turn it on, but even then just barely. But it has been getting worse and worse...

    Stalling & O2 Eliminators - A Possible Solution

    From time to time, I’ve experienced the much-reported stalling issue. My bike can go for months without it happening and then do it two or three times in a week. It mostly does it when I’m still moving. For example, I’ll be slowing down for traffic lights and as I pull in the clutch to stop, the...

    Who Would Buy This?

    I was browsing eBay today, looking at custom parts, when I came across a couple of ads, from breakers, for MT07 engines. They were asking the thick end of £1,000. :eek: Thing is, these bikes are all relatively new and mostly still under warranty. In the very unlikely event of an engine problem...

    Akrapovic post fitting question

    I've just had my Akra titanium installed. I'm not an expert but where the pipes go into the engine there is a small space seen by the difference in color on the pipes. Are the pipes fitted correctly or should they have been pushed a bit more in up to the small rim that goes around them? The...
