HDESA Hyper Specialty Tools
Heads up, HDESA special tools for the hyper on eBay are pretty good but the chain tension tool is wildly off. Their other tools are solid. I’ll be reaching out to them in hopes this was a QC or incorrect label issue

Mt09 vs Hypermotard vs SXV Wheelies
Anyone here been from one to the other? I’ve had many slim single/twin cyl motards all the way to supersport liters, Aprilia SXV550 was the best of both I’ve found. Currently on a Ducati 939 hyper and it feels heavy. Have to bounce it up in 3rd at 55-60mph. Easy clutch blip and lean on the Aprilia at 75mph and it’s right there. Word is Mt09 is the wheelie machine but where does it stand up with the right rpm and a clutch blip? Does it easily get up at 60mph?
Short term fix but handles all the revs and one wheel shenanigans perfectly, not to mention the funny looks at gas/food stops
