Premium Member rowdy Posted October 18, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted October 18, 2016 @rhb Happy new bike! About the shifting. I think at least a few people have commented about the clunky shifting, so unless it's extreme, I wouldn't worry about it, and after some KMs it should improve. The vibration though... I haven't heard of complaints at lower rpms. Maybe up around 6 and higher it can be felt, but shouldn't be bad. It would be good if you could fins someone else with one to trade for a bit and compare. Why can't left turners see us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boylit Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Agree on the vibes... I ride a 1200cc vtwin and the MT07 feels more vibey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not bad, but its like my single 200cc bike, I just had an expectation of smoother. Maybe my head. Once I change out the oil the shifting should improve.

Beemer Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Welcome! My first bike was also a '65 Triumph. Still have her actually. Mine's a bit smaller displacement of course OMG! Now that's a bike! (gettin' back to basics) rhb My X was Filipino but I never made it over there. I would love to ride around in those remote areas you mentioned and that bridge looks awesome! I think I could just sit on it all day long and day dream but my X would probably vaporize and ruin it. Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member motomeek Posted October 18, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted October 18, 2016 Nice! The shifter should feel better after the first service. @boylit - De Guzman huh... I know one here in SoCal. Have any relatives here? Haha. Instagram: @meekmade | You don't need to flat foot a bike to ride it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
