It is the sort of thing thats built into cars now. I had it on one one EVs, which had strong regen braking, and it would put brake lights on automatically. Youd think it would be incorporated into modern bikes, maybe it is?I've seen that. I think I can work without that though, trying to keep my bike as clean and simple as possible. Forces me to build good habits.
I can totally see why its needed in EVs where you don't even use the brakes the come to a stop half the time.It is the sort of thing thats built into cars now.

I bet that sounds well!Yesterday actually, but close enough… lol
Took delivery of the 21 MT09 SP and set about getting a new front tyre for it as the 1 on it was questionable at best…
Will be interesting to see how the Battlax S22’s fair up as I’m normally a Michelin fan.

Fantastic. I was worried it might be a bit ‘tinny’ or raspy being a triple, but it’s a real deep tone. Absolutely delighted with it.I bet that sounds well!
I run S22s on the MT10. Incredible grip in the dry ( lose the chicken strips the first time out) but rear squares off quite quickly.Yesterday actually, but close enough… lol

Colin at CMG in Mallusk, would highly recommend him!Who serviced it for you? Millsport? I need to get my Monster done and Hurst is only round the corner for me so is handier left in with them.

Hang on was that you down at Newcastle today on the 09 SP? Parked up beside an R3 yam? I was a few up from you on the grey MT 10!Happy enough with what I noticed from them today on what was pretty far from ideal conditions.
Easily held over 100 (kph obviously ) around Mount Panther corner on the way to Clough from Dundrum earlier, and I wasn’t even pushing hard. Can’t wait to get to grips with the wee bike and see what it’s got for, other than wanting to lift the wheel up through all the gears… lol
It was indeed. The wee R3 belongs to Alana, a friend of mine. This was the maiden voyage on the MT09, so stayed local on familiar roads.Hang on was that you down at Newcastle today on the 09 SP? Parked up beside an R3 yam? I was a few up from you on the grey MT 10!
Ah brilliant! Aye spoke to the guy with the newer MT-10 for a while myself. Realistically there is probably chuff all in it between the 09 and 10 on the roads, moreso probably just the rider! The Tuono V4 parked at the end of the row has put ideas in my head though…It was indeed. The wee R3 belongs to Alana, a friend of mine.

I was admiring your 10, and the blue 1 just down from you, sadly accepting the fact that I don’t have the conviction or self control for a 10…

I was actually watching out for the fella on the Tuono to ask about it as I have actually been after one for a while and the PCP is ending on the MT-10! @Alan_B give me a spin (or at least tell me I’m not silly considering one with limited dealer network and historical parts supply issues for Aprilia)!!!He still has his GS too. We’ll still use them for longer trips or going away on, but the nakeds will be for a bit of fun locally just.
Thanks APIs. The circlip is still there, most movement is in and out from all the nuts being loose and one missing. Shouldn’t work itself loose in 30 miles?There shouldn't be a nut missing.
The side to side play looks excessive.
I "think" on that bike there might be a circlip holding the sprocket in tight, or maybe there should be a spacer on the spindle that's missing or worn, I'm not sure. The studs just go into the cush drive. If cush drive was worn you get more play the other way, like radially in a circle.
Most bikes don't have a circlip. The sprocket is just held there with the spacers when you tighten up the spindle.
You should get it checked, or take the wheel out and have a look yourself.
Nope. The nuts shouldn't get loose, ever.Thanks APIs. The circlip is still there, most movement is in and out from all the nuts being loose and one missing. Shouldn’t work itself loose in 30 miles?
