Yamaha to bring R1, MT-01 superbikes: Edit: Now launched at 10.5 lakhs

Steeroid · 1st December 2007, 10:13

Best of luck to anyone planning to ride the MT01 in India - the dampers will require extensive resetting before they can be used on anything other than smoooooooth tarmac, so I hope Yamaha have done something about it.

First change on the MT-01 should be a good set of filters - original air filters (dont) suck big time. And if anyone needs Power Commander remaps (for both MT01 and R1) let me know and I will have my dealer ship them across.
