I came through last September at the acual peak of all the televised trouble. No issues whatsoever. It's 99% hype.

sounds like you are not using a 5mm allen key but an imperial one

I agree, a total prick

An MT07 is all the bike anyone will ever need, on the road, to keep up with anyone who is not certifiable. I run a Z1000SX, but don't (can't, legally, sensibly) go any faster at all than my 650 Bandit that I had before.
Enjoy.

Pushing up the daisies

Congrats on the new bike and thanks for the story. Photos would have made it even better!

I agree with Trev. Few AT's around cheap and not many around. Even a Super Tenere seems to be holding its price despite the competition.

I am glad for the endorsement Daytona. I am afraid brake systems need to be put back 100% standard working order, or modifications agreed (and assessed, probably).

If you take it off I think you will have a problem with your insurance company. First of all the machine will become "modified" and in an area probably considered as critical safety equipment.

I hope Yamaha are reading this:

I won't be buying a Yamaha again, ever, after reading this thread.

I have plenty of choice, why would I risk this crap?
