Heyo
I just brought home a 2026 in Raven Black, its a beautiful bike.
I sold my SV650 and lasted about a week before I needed a motorcycle in my life and sprung for the MT09. I must have been spoiled by my SV because you could dump the clutch more or less and be fine with no gas. I cant do that with this. I stalled it immediately trying to pull out of the dealer, super embarrasing. I then proceeded to stall it twice on the way home.
That being said, are there any habits from my SV that I have been transferring to the MT? I primarily ride for commuting and have a long line of traffic heading in to the office, the last thing I want to do is stall traffic over and over. Is it truly just practice over and over or do I need to unlearn something?
Other than that, loving the bike. Still waiting on the crash bars, I read enough about the frame cracking thing and sprung for Impaktech.
