Those Brembo pads are the absolute nuts, best upgrade I've made to my bike

[@rovers10001]

Trow Vegas, love it!

[@Alfuckett]

when i was on the pèage i got 48.4 with cruise control at 75mph,,, i just work on 150 to the tank, and thats well tested with 6k on the clock lol. just cant keep up with rear tyres 3k out of the S20 going onto my 3rd rear now,,, hopefully going to try out the new S21 this time...

[@javahaxxor]

I'm also with you on the fuel economy. It's shit, but I can take it because it's so much fun

[@TriptoCo]

You need a BlasterX taillight. It looks identical to stock, but 80% brighter and it intergartaes the turn signals. It's sick. I have it on my FZ09 and FZ10.....

[@fastbikes]

Thanks for the tip! Will check them out.

[@dry509]

How are you holding the camera/cell phone? Are you using some type of selfie stick?

[@fastbikes]

No, just got long arms!

[@classikz]

What is going on with that guy's calfs?

[@nick636]

Bike accident 10 years ago

[@Alfuckett]

let us know about the pads please mate,,, lost both of my rear flaps snapped them off with my bag somewhere in Switzerland,,, and im getting 150 miles to the tank,, 35 miles is best on the fuel light !!! and i got 16.3 ltrs in,,, just done 5k around the Alps/pyrenees/dolomites and i was ring its neck !!!. Amazing Bike...

[@fastbikes]

Wow, good going! I did manage to get it up to 44mpg today on cruise-control on the motorway at around 6,000rpm. Also did 18 miles on the light today too and it had 1.4 litres left. Don't do much motorway/cruising though, tend to ride it like an idiot so am never going to get good economy out of it, like, ever. Hopefully I'll have the pads by the next video. Also just found out the wheels are off an '04 R1, if you needed a new bit of useless info!

[@SineOccasu]

@ 5:22 , is that the great fella from the race team that Alastair Fagan (44teeth) is part of? Great video, looking forward to more updates. God almighty she sounds amazing!

[@fastbikes]

That's James who runs JHS (including the JHS Racing team, indeed), been doing stuff with us for over a decade now, and the 44 lot recently, although Al works for both them and Fast Bikes.

[@SineOccasu]

I see, thank you. Seems like a top bloke, cheers!

[@nickprice3605]

Where's Ep 1 pls?

[@mcgman8058]

no popping on decel ?

[@conradbooth8041]

Did you get a power commander or a flash for the exhaust or just nothing at all?

[@fastbikes]

Those answers are played out in the following blogs! Went the PC V route, got brilliant results and, of course, the great thing about a PC is when you're done with it you can sell it on, unlike an ECU flash - pros and cons to both!

[@shi4575]

Hey BJ the yamaha website says that the MT-10 has a max power of 160 psi so does it deliver as it says??

[@fastbikes]

139 at the wheel as stock on our dyno, 160 is a crank figure, so minus the 12-15% rule of thumb reduction to convert and it's about bang on correct.

[@rockafella1690]

Rooooooxxxxxaaaaaanne!

[@w0ffle]

Fuel economy on mine is also pretty terrible

[@fastbikes]

Yu huh!

[@FireTwo]

Which model brembo pads?

[@fastbikes]

Road & Track they're called, am waiting on exact type.

[@FireTwo]

+Fast Bikes Magazine Sinter SC?

[@fastbikes]

Yes, SC, I think, will confirm.

[@fastbikes]

Yes the SC pads will be here tomorrow, you can find more info at this link here: www.bikehps.com/brembo/brembo_brakepads.html

[@swimmerthon]

I thought the mt10 was suppose to be running at 160hp?

[@xMaximilian614x]

That was the claim, dynos have shown different results

[@swimmerthon]

+Maximillionairr that's disappointing

[@fastbikes]

It is claimed at 160bhp - at the crank, like all manufacturers. This is a rear wheel figure, we always test rear-wheel. Rule of thumb converting crank to wheel is up to a 15% reduction. Do the math and the 139bhp stock reading is there or thereabouts.

[@Micke65]

+Fast Bikes Magazine how mutch was Tuono V4 , BMW s1000r and the Beast on the wheel ?

[@fastbikes]

In the order that you asked - though keep in mind none are Euro4 where the MT is - 155bhp, 148bhp, 150bhp assuming by 'beast' you mean the KTM?

[@javahaxxor]

you're not an idiot, the seat mechanism is shit

[@nothingtoseehere4902]

What a flimsy crappy tailpiece. Looks like Yamaha didn't invest much in the development of the bike. And it's ugly as fuck.
