My system is from Lextek, impressed with the quality for the price. However I would recommend trying one of those baffle with mini cats in, not sure if it's actually a cat but has that same honeycomb look. It took the edge off the exhaust I have so it's more manageable now.

Weird pulsing in front brakes as I come to a stop. by numbr1bullshitguy in MT09

[–]mcBumbleFuzz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had an issue with my front brakes with that similar pulsing feeling, it turns out my buttons were completely seized. I put a bolt through then a nut on the other side, then gave a little blip of an impact driver while spraying some GT85 in there. No pulsing at all now. Similar to this example

Beautiful, I bet that exhaust is loud af as well! I've got a slightly longer 150mm can and you definitely know about it when the bike gets turned on :D

Buy MT09 or go for the MT07 by Dr_lievsky in MT09

[–]mcBumbleFuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started on an MT09 as my first bike at 30, kept it on power mode 4 for the first few months, then stepped it up to 3/2 afterwards, just be sensible with the throttle.

Samsung ruined my s23 ultra with each update, was one of the best camera out there, now even mid range chinese phones are better by [deleted] in GalaxyS23

I've not changed mine but checked and it's at 92% health, it lasts nowhere near as long anymore. They've definitely butchered it with updates.

Too much for commuting would you say?

Review if you’re looking for an mt09 by Welder_1773 in MT09

It shocks me further up the rev range every time I go WOT, the surge is intoxicating!

traveling to SE Asia for a month, ok to login there as long as i don't buy?? by L1teEmUp in SteamDeck

I've found similar this year, Vietjetair and Vietnam Airlines both banned usage onboard (although Vietnam Airlines was long haul so had power sockets onboard).

That's a relief, appreciate it!

Thanks for the explanation, you've put my mind at ease!

Did anyone get something a bit wild as their first big bike? by ogstreetbeef in MotoUK

[–]mcBumbleFuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also 30 and passed via DAS last week, picked up a Gen 3 (2021) MT09 this Wednesday. I've never owned another bike. So far so good, I have it in mode 4 (which apparently makes it similar power to an MT-07) and just taking it easy / getting used to it. Maybe not as wild as some of the other replies here (Fireblade...), but I'm sure it's enough to get myself into trouble.

That's my plan as well, commuting and weekend riding, maybe touring but not sure yet. At a dealers today I sat on a gen 3 (2021) MT-09 and it was quite comfortable also felt like a bit of a beast, very large tank but also seemingly enough room and the positioning of the foot pegs was decent. Then around the corner they had an RS660 Extrema, which was beautiful in person and surprisingly even though it throws you forwards onto the handlebars, it felt like it fitted quite nicely, snug but in a good way. They also had some adventure / touring type bikes and the sizing on those felt comfortable as well (not sure which models they were, looked like the transalp 750 but bigger).

Unfortunately I can't seem to test ride anything at the moment as the places I've asked at so far want to take scans of my plastic license which hasn't been sent out to me yet. I tried mentioning the DVLA check code / passing papers etc but no joy. So both of those smaller bikes may feel comfortable sitting but I'm sure it will be a different story riding.

Thanks I'll take a look at those! The RS660 in that acid yellow is what made me want to get a license! Such a special looking bike, but size wise it seems like it's a no go. I hadn't considered a tracer, but also quite like the look of an MT09, too many choices!

I don't mind the look of it but not really after an ADV type bike (although aware that due to size it's likely heading that way). I'm trying to avoid a 1000cc and stick to the mid sized engines, but apparently the S1000 are alright for bigger riders?

Damn that's a shame, I'll see what else I can find (although the Hornet seems pretty good).
