Happy new bike day.... WTF, what do you mean it's a Yamaha ???

What was your final verdict on the rear shock, Weeksy?

On mine the rear suspension feels like it hardly moves when I'm riding but the front isn't too bad. Thinking of getting a K-Tech shock for it to see if it improves things.

Sorry Rusty, missed this..

Rear shock really helps things, just makes it less harsh on the roads and bumps. I didn't try the bike on track before doing the shock, so can't compare it, but really like it.

People still comment about the front end on these and i'm struggling to see it, but I'd love to try a tweaked bike before shelling out £5,6,700 on the front end as i'm still not convinced it needs anything

The broken arm is properly pissing me off at the moment as the weather is fantastic and i'm sitting at home wishing i could get out. Sadly, by the time i'm allowed out, winter will be here and the bike will be parked up

Here's a video from Spa to cheer us up though

That's dreadful
Hopefully a novice group!

Dreadful why?

His laptime was fine

[KungFooBob]

Something to do with the camera angle makes him look twice as big as all the other bikes, on the overtakes it looks like he's towering over them.

The only other on-board from Spa I've seen is the F1...so that vid looks almost comically slow

Still, its probably a track I woudln't have the nads to ride at 10/10ths.

Lol F1 cars are a bit quick

Spends a lot.of.time with a neutral throttle. At the top of eau rouge he's backing off.

You ridden it? It's a tough corner. I better never put up a video of myself on circuit, you'd think i've never sat on a bike before.

I've followed you on track for a lap or 2

When I bought my MT09 the front end was very harsh with no damping at all. MCT changed the springs and oil to suit my weight and set up accordingly for £250 and it has made a massive improvement. If we lived closer I’d happily give you the keys for a test.

I went crazy...

Fella at work has that system on his MT09, sure will keep you busy polishing!

[Dodgy69]

Should sound good that.

Being a triple it should sound good with minimal changes, my bike was transformed sound wise with a simple decat downpipe.

Doesn't exist.

For your bike? Can't imagine it will take long though...
