so, just got my mt07 couple days ago.
A few problems I've realised:-

1. It is sometimes difficult to startup the engine especially during morning, need to give it a few try to get it started.

2. Engine gets extremely hot after riding about 20 minutes, to the point where if your leg accidentally touches the engine it burns.

3. The famous metal rattle sound does exists
watch it here to solve it

mt09 is a good choice, but with bad front and back suspension, and the throttle is a little bit jerky on A mode(which is the fastest mode), and front brake is so-so only

the only thing what i like about mt09 is the weight...so light and comparable to triumph street triple

and the price currently 42k++ otr, 50k is the CBU version

ps; if i were you, i would buy 2nd hand z800 any day(32k++ currently), much2 better than mt09 in term of handling,suspension,brake(the best!!), and stability, the only thing that i don't really like is the weight which is 230kg, but when i bought it last time i can cilok in traffic no problem at all, just need that 'extra' work to do the cilok thing...NOT to mention the throttle response of z800 is damn smooth including the engine itself laugh.gif

I've read about the engine get hot easily but didn't know to the point where it burns shocking.gif

coming from a scooter i've been riding for most of the years since i got my license at the age of 16, such big bikes really does give the ompphh!

Never really tested other similar category bike except for a KTM Duke250, but one thing for sure the MT-07 is one hella torky monster like its name suggest, Master of Torque.

At one point I was just testing its torque on a open road at 2nd gear and i unintentionally did a mini wheelie. Cornering takes a little bit of time to learn as the bike is quite heavy compare to a scooter. I just realised how nimble my scooter is when cilok in a busy traffic and the MT07 takes a little bit of learning to do so.

I haven't got any proper gear to fully test out the bike, in the sense that I feel it is so dangerous to speed on highway while I'm almost naked laugh.gif
No jacket, no proper boots, no gloves...Full face already done and it is a must.

Fuel consumption is awesome, had only used half a tank and able to reach 120km+ already.

Friends also ajak go here and go there ronda but in the meantime, will take some more time to bond with the bikes a little bit more first.

To be continue...

You should at least start with gloves.after that proper riding jacket,boot can come later n if you have Budget go for proper riding jeans/pants

When you fall(touchwood/hope it won't happen)the first thing you touch or landed on asphalt will be your palm.. I cannot imagine the injuries you going to inflict on yourself if it happen.


I bet ur adrenalin shot up few notch when riding your 07 biggrin.gif

Do you know what is the optimum operating of an engine?

So when do you intend to get these safety gears?

In fact, you should be getting these first before getting a bike.

You'll never know when you gonna need it.

My advise to you, get them now. Don't wait.

The MT-07 comes with the Engine temperature indicator, at optimum it is around 85-100C

Thanks for the concern guys, yes I've already got the gloves and jacket and whatnot.
Before I got my bike I do wear jacket and gloves but it is those cheap fabric ones. Thanks for reminding though. Safety do comes first

Yes. That's correct.
85-100C is already hot to touch...thus it burns.
