MT Riders Club

Well, I was around for a while a few years ago. I had an MT500 and MT350 for a while, but sold them. I was looking on Ebay and saw an 'unusual' MT640 and I brought it home today!
I'm going out for a little run shortly - wish me luck!

Welcome back,and is the new bike in camo paint,when you said the cc i think we know the bike ,good luck and enjoy

Welcome back, enjoy your new bike

Yes, it's the camo one. The jury's out on retaining that colour scheme. I'll not do anything for a while to see if it grows on me.
The bike went fine this evening, although it seems a bit under-geared to me. Having said that, roll the throttle open at 60 and it takes-off quite nicely.
I'll have a look at the size of the gearbox sprocket over the weekend and make a few tweaks to controls, mirrors etc.

Sounds like fun! Welcome aboard/back.

Welcome back and congrats on your new purchase, looks a good bike

Thanks for the welcome, guys.

I'm already finding a few 'idiosyncracies' with the 640 (as you do,) so I'll be asking a few questions soon.

You will find non-standard features , if it was modded by the guy I think it was he did 4 bikes modifying his design every time It could be the bike he rode back from Italy or thereabouts with a failed rear wheelbearing

Yes, it's been modified a great deal. Most of the changes improve it from standard, but I think I'd like to revert to the standard headlight cowling (it has a circular headlamp now.)

About the head lamp,the MT headlamp isnt the best i would of thought the headlamp was changed for night riding rather than looks,most of us with the square headlamp cant see at night unless you eat a few carrots,im sure youl find the parts you need,good luck
