That's sooooo not true 😇

Wouldn't do any good... Some dealership will not replace em(they make noise, but will if it sounds "bad" to them), some will replace if you ask em...it's hit or miss with dealerships on a "technical service bulletin(TSB)" not a recall/replace type of deal like it was with the handlebars for a select group of earlier year bikes...

Higdonion Cage 😎... And both wheels off the ground 👍👍 like a motocross rider, knees grabbing the tank, body is up and leaning forward to pull the bike into the turn...

Buzzy vibration is mainly due to that rubber noise damping donut on the front sprocket- it does not let the chain ride in the inner rollers but rather about 75% of the outside link( more like the leading edge rides on the rubber and the tail end is just slightly riding on the rubber)..this gave me a odd rhythmic bass feeling vibration that got worse as RPM climbed.. a plain Jane sprocket gives me a faint natural chain/sprocket vibration/feeling and it's the same no matter the RPM...

If anything I believe the front sprocket should be -1T less than stock... It's just right- pulls sooooo predictably to redline from 2nd gear start...

have been using Maxima Chain wax forever, but I do consider chains/sprockets to be used by 15k miles or so(racing is another story)...I find it best to apply a light coat after a ride then letting the bike sit for a few hours...I apply a light coat every couple weeks- then over winter I will scrape the outside links off of the wax...

Others have mounted highway pegs on the cage... And I have the full cage version and it keeps the radiator clean and road blast off the front of my motor...

Higdonion Cages... 2 or 3 different styles of lower cages and an upper cage option... He just released a newer update design also...

We need a Star Wars grade deflector shield... Maybe George Lucas has a few spares...

Long time... Don't leave leathers hanging up in damp area for example...

I have put TCS thru it's paces, it works really well😵.. Did you know 2WDW has multiple tuning software options 😏... I highly recommend Woolich Racing software and the Race Kit add-on...

You would have gotten a letter in the mail if your bike was effected... The studs didn't have loctite applied when pressed in, that was the problem...

TCS needs to be "off"= you will see it lit up... Otherwise the front wheel only goes 2 beer cans high... Press and hold down the TCS button to toggle "on/off"... Bike must be completely stopped for it to "toggle"...

I would test ride both the MT-07 and Tracer900... My reason is the MT-07 has no "electronic throttle"- just a good ole cable system all the way to the throttle bodies... The Tracer900 has an "electronic throttle"- has a very small cable system leading to an electronic motor that opens/close the throttle bodies and very quick to react to stuble wrist movements... Also both bikes have two very different engine sensations/ power delivery... The MT-07- tractor like torque feeling in all gears(low to mid range power)...Tracer900- caged cheetah always ready to run( low mid-range to redline power)...

the plug is buried... no pictures but you should find the right one...

A MT-07 might be a better choice for a "small island" by my standards... The biggest advantage the Tracer900 has over the MT-09 is top speed when above 100mph+ both are darn near equal in the 1/8th mile with Tracer 900 getting the advantage after the 1/8th mile... MT-07 also gets slightly better MPG... If your doing 2up alot, the Tracer 900 is the better choice... From my personal experiences owning both bikes....

Graves Exhaust- the lightest exhaust on the market I know of... A 12oz can of pop/soda pop is heavier than the headers and midpipe combined 🤩

Not gonna melt... It helps keeps dirt and what not out from getting trapped inside the "end cap" and rattling around inside... You can keep it or toss it...

Unplug it... Follow the wires from the QS unit on the shift rod...

3k miles or sooner if shifting is getting "clunky"... It's a personal preference...

@wordsmith they are found in 2 sizes .. 30 cal and .50 cal plastic ammo box sizes 30 cal plastic ammo box size: 11-1/2" (L)x 5-1/8"(W) x 7"(H) 50 cal plastic ammo box size: 13-3/4"(L) x 7"(W) x 9-7/16"(H)

@wordsmith... The ammo boxes are your generic plastic ammo boxes... "Harbor Freight" is like the Walmart of tools/drills/Sanders/etc in the US... They are cheap to expensive... Good ones are fairly airtight/water tight for long term use/storage of ammo... Can be found in many sizes/colors... Can be used for many other purposes.. I have a few set up with tools for certain bikes/projects/ fireworks storage... Edit: I have seen over the years people also use plastic handgun cases for a "top case" or as saddle bags...

You might find another blank canvas with the T7 when it comes out now that I think about it a bit more... The T7 frame/suspension from my research online over the years, is that the T7 is a very close copy of a 2008 WR450F... Which makes sense to me to use an off road frame for the T7 vs using the frame off the FZ-07...

IIRC over the years R6 front end is what the flat trackers are using on an FZ-07... And use some dirt bike rear plastics for the subframe... A quick Google search of FZ-07 flat track shows a bit of ideas...

The FJ+09 batteries is stock OEM one that came with the bike 3yrs ago... im Gonna let the bike sit for a few more days then fire it up again just to see if the battery still holds a charge...
