Yamaha MT-07 Long Term Test Report - MOTOR GERR

Ard? Yes, but not impossible. While the perky twin is absolutely outstanding fee for money, it does lack a touch within the dealing with branch. Get a chunk jiggy with it down the again roads and it could all get out of shape quite quickly.

It's best on easy roads or on a song but whilst the going gets bouncy, you can be thrown out of the seat quite aggressively. So I set about locating a shock that might do the process with out breaking the financial institution.

I went for the cheapest option - a £393 Nitron NTR Sport unit. It's adjustable for compression and rebound on the equal time. The distinction turned into significant right away - and it typically takes some thing quite enormous for me to check in any actual alternate. Wooden wheels would probable just about be something I'd pick up.

But the Nitron shock made the bike sense confident, planted and pliable. To ensure it wasn't simply me being an fool, I called on the offerings of MCN Senior Road Tester Michael Neeves, who rode the MT-07 on the release and has tested it frequently since.

We took a preferred MT-07 and my bike out for an hour of back-avenue driving and he become as inspired as I was. I ended up with the rebound/compression on the 6th hardest placing (there are 20 clicks in total) and I wound out most of the sag with the preload adjustment.

What become already a very good bike is now a super one. Of all of the mods I've made, this is the only I'd advocate the most. It absolutely does make a tangible difference to the manner the bike rides.
