According to that link my bike is not one of the affected models. Having spoken to my local Yamaha dealer today they told me that Yamaha are not sure how many models are affected and their advice is "If you get a letter, then get the free modification done."Mine is booked in for Tuesday 2nd May. Takes about 40 minutes apparently. Better safe than sorry.

Nobody buying an MT10?
How does Tracer 700 compare to MT09? Everything same except smaller engine?

MT10 is 10k. You can find well sorted MT09 for 5k.Is MT10 twice the bike MT09? Don't think so. It has more power. But MT09 is lighter and sharper.I can do 80 mph in 2nd with MT09 if I want. I don't think I need MT10. Unless you do a lot of track days MT09 is more than enough.

(150bhp?)I’ve never done a track day.Sure it’s 3 grand more, but it’s a lot more bike.Is more than enougth ever really enougth?
I had a good look at the MT10 when they first came out and sorry but the build quality is on a par with the 09. Very much a budget bike, cheap tacky plastic bits all over, not unlike the 09.Which I love by the way, and have owned one for over 18 months now. It is a 2013 bike, still looks like brand new but there again I live in a decent climate here in SW France.If I had one in the UK it would be plastered in ACF50 12months a year.Dudeofrude, you say the Speed triple would trounce the MT09 ?? well 138 bhp 1050 cc v 115 bhp 897 cc it should. Also the Trumpet is nearly £4,000 more the MT09 the only two comparisons I see are, they are both naked bikes and both 3 cylinders end off.
But.....can an MT09 do this ?
