MT-10 being naked, I wonder what accessories folks added to their bikes when they bought the bike? Some of these I can probably negotiate with the dealer as free additions.
Please categorize as almost essential vs nice to haves.
Thanks a bunch helping out a newbie (to MT-10 but not motorcycles in general)!

Spools, axle sliders, frame sliders, case guards, and fender eliminator.
Probably fully exhaust or slip on with link pipe so that everyone knows the cross plane is coming.

Do your self a favor, before anything else get the comfort seat.

Youll get a lot of mixed answers, because frankly the FZ-10 can be anything (ehy i love this bike).
Personally, i got a windshield, fender eliminator, SW-motech tankbag and sw-motech saddlebags (really happy with them both btw) and some heated grips.
When i get the budget ill invest in new suspension as well. The ones that are on it are not terrible, but made for about 80 kg riders in my estimation (im 100-105 kg).
Some like to tame the throttle/remap it, i personally like the raw violence of the throttle.
Im fine with the stock seat (i sometimes alternate between a sheepskin on the seat and just the seat on over 3 hour trips) while some cant stand it.
Im fine with its stock sound, some like to straightpipe it.
Im more for modding it as a sport tourer. Id really suggest you ride it first and see what you want it to be before putting money on mods.

Oh and i had the tank wrapped with self healing clear tape to protect it from scratches. Just took the tank off and brought it in to a car wrapper. Got it wrapped with a single piece (no seams) for $100.

MRA windscreen, Vagabond fender eliminator, some form of luggage, Grab-On Grips. That would be the first 4 things I'd add. Comfort seat would be next if you find the factory seat is as bad as some of us do/did. I'd strongly consider keeping the cat so that you don't have to worry about a remap and also to keep the volume down. I added a Graves slip-on to my bike and to me it sounds awesome. It would sound even better (in my opinion) with a link pipe BUT I live in a neighborhood and leave for work around 5:30-6am each morning and don't want to be "that guy."

I love my hard SHAD bags, they've come in handy more than anything else I've added.

Specific to the FZ/MT-10
Must have:
A taller windscreen. Get a medium height sport screen to keep the wind off your chest, or taller touring screen to keep the wind off your helmet.
Nice to have:
ECU Flash. Lower operating temps and smoother throttle response.
Tank grippers.
Short stock front turn signals. The stock signals stick out way too far.
A lot of other things like swingarm spools, stands, fender eliminators, racks, and battery tenders are common with other bikes I've owned. |
