You make the mt09 look like a grom

When he stood up next to the bike it really caught me off guard, the bike looked so tiny lool

Is this the mini version of the MT 09?

It was this review that resulted in the purchase of my MT 09. And it doesn’t disappoint. Best bang for your buck!

best MT09 review ive seen. You've helped me make up my mind on getting an MT09 as an affordable / zippy / comfortable urban bike to compliment my better equipped touring Aprilia Caponord 1200. Safe riding dude & thanks for the vid.

Spot on review. Love the mods you’ve made, sounds and looks great!

Yay, it's Kuringai Chase near where I live. Great to see a reviewer from the Down-under.

Great review! I am waiting to see if there might be an update version for 2019.

Been doing extensive research to reassure that this is the bike and man this review was what I needed to watch. Great job and you earned a new sub.

Great review, thanks so much, enjoy your channel. Really considering this for next year!

One of the best and honest ownership review....☺

Excellent review mate , love this bike

I switched out the shock after 6kkm, should've done it the second it came. Got a Wilbers 640 for 420€ and it completely transformed the bike

Great review...I may be getting one soon

I have the xsr700 and I absolutely love it. It's a lot like the Mt-07. My next bike will be the MT-09. That MT-09 motor is a beast. Thanks for the video.

Please make a video of you riding a honda grom.. that would be incredible.

Woooooooow😳 what a great review. Suscbrubed👍🏾. MT07 was recommend, but this bike will suit me better by the looks of things. Its now down to pice between this and the Triumph Street triple.

What an incredible and well rounded video thanks for it bro

I have a 2016 XSR900, and it is basically the same bike in a different skin. Lovely bit of kit. Easy to mod, maintain. Only downside is that the space under the seat is non-existent, and the swing arm scratches away where your right boot rubs on it. Also, one has to flash the ECU after a full exhaust mod. I have the IXIL SX1, and have not reflashed it yet!

I have the 2016 mt09 and love everything about the bike except suspension. it is horrible and does not give you confidence to throw the bike into a corner. So far the bike has a full akra carbon system and woolich flash + tune. next mod is forks and rear shock. your review is spot on as well mate.

Good solid review. Looking for something lighter and a good all around bike and it certainly seems the MT-09 is in that sweet spot. Thanks for taking the time to do the review. Cheers!

Great looking and sounding bike with those mods! Nice review tall man

very useful review and real practical use of a bike. thank you

Good honest review of a good honest bike. Cheers ;) ps, I bet you could never get a screen tall enough for you lol

Great mod mate! Thank you for sharing. 👍

Great review agree with your MT09 comments. The dash rev counter is hard to see and I did notice the rear a bit bouncy. On my 2017 MT09 I did get the dealer to tighten up the front forks again that was because I could do with losting a few kilos myself. Have recent purchased the new MT09SP the suspension is well sort with kyb front forks and the ohlins rear suspension unit, the speedo head is still the same rev counter numbers not fully visible and I am not a tall person.

Nice man love this bike looking at getting one. Thanks mate

Great bikes test rode one fell in love with it but my only complaint was the rear shock so I went and bought the SP and OMG she’s my baby

I've had my white '17 09 for almost a year now and holy crap am I in love. The bike is so versatile like you said. The other day I took a sharp corner and leaned so low I scraped my shoe, the straightened up and power wheelie'd outa there 😁

Great video bro 👍🏻

Wow, the bike looks like a min-bike compared to you, over 2m in height?

Great review. Thanks!

Great Review! I've tried to find these radiator guards set but without success .... Any idea where I can find these? Thank you!

I so want one of these. Black looks good on it!

I am just about to buy an MT09 and also in Sydney. You answered a lot of the questions I had. I subscribed. See you on the road mate. 🤙

About the rear shock. You do not want to try to stiff it up by increasing preload on the spring, that ultimately doenst make it any stiffer it just becomes more of a pogo stick(which can be dangerous in extreme cases). The right preload is needed for proper sag depending on driver weight. What you can do is increase compression or/and stiffer spring.

Good Vid,from a year of testing,was looking at 2015 model not now.Cheers.

Great video mate...nice info about hte bike

Hello. Did you notice a loss of any low-end power, or any flat spots in the torque curve at all, after the installation - or removal of the baffle - of your Akrapovic Titanium? I have the same bike (2019), and really like this exhaust. Thanks for your time and videos. They are very informative and helpful.

Nice review, MT09 is a great bike, and I also tryed the Triump street triple Rs . But after trying the KTM 790 duke I was sold. With out doubt the best of the 3 IMO. 790 duke is just awesome to ride..

Great review spot on

Please help - - I want a mt09 2017 lime green but concern on the suspension issues so also considering the mt09sp 2018 but unfortunately they don’t come in lime green . If I buy a 2017 and upgraded will be worth it or do you recommend compromise in the COLORS and get a mt09 sp 2018 ??? Please help

Hi there, one question once the back rear rack its removed is there any noticeable holes? I am asking this question as apparently you need to drill holes into the plastic to fit the rack and how hard is to remove the back rack once initially installed.

Good review. Any excessive vibration in the upper rev band?

thank you for video, really enjoyed it!

We need 'WeNeedASaga' back in our lives

I was looking to get an Mt09 but decided to go toward a duke 790, which in the states comes out this fall or next year. The good thing about that is the Duke 790 R will be coming so i will go for that one instead of the regular 790. My buddy will be getting the MT09 though because i told him i was perhaps looking to get one.

hey mate, well done, really loved the commentary. herro

How did the Akra exhaust affect your fuel economy? Any fuel controller installed or ecu reflash?

Hi mate, great vid. I watched your GSXS review as well, just wondering how you would compare MT09 and GSXS 1000? I was looking at getting XSR900 or GSXS 1000. Be interested to heat your opinion on them Ps subscribed! Cheers

Nice review man. I'm thinking of upgrading from my 07. Cheers and thanks. C.

Did Yamaha address the rear shock problem on the 2018 or 19 model? Can't find any 2017 in B.C Canada so looking at newer models

I'm getting 200-230km per tank without even hitting the low fuel light. Never comes out of A mode and I'm not being nice to it.

I hear the rear suspension comment often. Just wondering how hard you actually have to push before it becomes an issue? I.e. What level of a rider do you have to be and how hard do you have to push it to find its limits? Will a new rider notice it immediately? Will an intermediate rider find it pushing their limits? Will a good rider find it on every corner? THanks.

How are you having an issue scraping peg? I own the same bike and have had it to the edge of the tire plenty and never touched peg.

the all black one looks the best! i prefer the CRT exhaust made by SC project

This was really helpful thanks

Awesome video! Exactly the info I have been looking for :) I am currently riding an R3 and wanting to upgrade. I am not an aggressive rider but I do want something that can take me on the highway for extended rides to get to the fun coastal rides in my region. I was fearful of buying the wrong bike but I think now I know what bike to buy. No doubt there are other capable options out there but with your detailed review I am decided. I especially like your "normal" road riding (lol) and not wringing the guts out of the engine (lol). I watch videos all the time to get an idea for certain bike's performance on the highway but most videos show the bike from 0-200km speed tests with most riding done in the 150's plus.... not my riding style and impossible to gauge the everyday performance of the bike and the relevant tach reading to speed and gear position. Thanks again for the awesome video!

Nice video. Your review helped me pick the 2017 version which I've had for a few months. We share local playgrounds, I'm getting a Nitron shock and stiffer fork springs (on the boat), happy to give you a go if you are interested in a budget upgrade.

love that road!

What maintenance have you done via oil changes tuneup stuff like that and what’s the running cost of that?

Great video man, I love my 2017. You’ve got Rizoma indicators on the front, which ones do you have on the rear?

Bless you for making this video.

Hello! Did you get your radiator cover on Ebay / Alipress ? Thank you!

I’m a MT09 (2017) and surprised you didn’t mention the snappy throttle in A Mode... anyway I had a flash done in Brisbane and it bloody perfect now.

I have a Street triple 675r 2013, non abs. Do you this bike be an upgrade or I should stick to the ST3r?

What fuel octane number you been using till today for your MT 09?

awesome review! i'm also saving p for the mt 09, i heard someone say that the ohlins suspension on the SP version is night and day in comparison. but i havent ridden them myself. all i know is i'm riding the mt 07 in my license class and its too small for me tbh. so cant wait to try out the mt 09 once i get the license :P

Do you have any wobble issues running above 160km/h? I seem to can’t eliminate the speed wobble and my bike is still new..

Such a sweet ride, almost picked up the FZ-09 last year but found a hell of a deal on a "new" '14 Honda VFR800 Deluxe in red for $6700, couldn't pass it up. I'll eventually get the FZ or XSR900 someday...

Enjoyed your honest review. Can you give me the base line price for a new mt09 in Australia. Thanks

I had a CB500F before the 2017 MT 09 and it had a larger fuel tank and chunkier indicator lights which would definitely improve this bike. Also the fuel gauge is not particularly accurate as it stays full for ages then quickly reduces the bars. Apart from that I'm really happy with it for all the reasons you stated. I would like to say it is also very comfortable and the fuel economy is excellent. Great vid as usual!

Thank you, good info. Especially that of being able to keep it on 3rd gear. 👍

Thank you for the video, Thumbs up. Sounds like the MT-09Sp is the way to go.

How is the on off throttle response especially at lower rpms?

Cool vid,good information,

Hey mate. How do you find the standard seat on a long ride?

I currently have a 2015 Mt09 and looking to get a new GSX S750 -- your thoughts

Another softer option to the bikes you mentioned is perhaps the Aprillia Shiver 900 - I tried one and was quite impressed, which was quite a supprise. Had a bit more character than the other bikes you mentioned (exception being the KTM - which I haven't ridden). It doesn't seem to get much press coverage.

Well done mate, an honest review of a great bike for the real world, every day rider. Would you be kind enough to share some info on your helmet intercom system, the sound quality is very impressive.

Is it a requirement to flash the ECU to install one of these full systems or can I just swap the exhaust and that's it? I think the bike's power is enough, I just want more sound out of it

Is it difficult to remove the DB killer from that akrapovic exhaust ?

Thanks helpful review. Tfs

I ride a 2016 fz09. I get the suspension talk, but I have never been annoyed by it. Sure the bike moves around on bumpy roads but I think it adds to the drama. If you are an advanced, pro level rider you probably are not even looking for a bike at this level. Don't let the suspension and twitchy throttle talk scare you out of this bike. Just go buy one.

Great video!

that was a nice review, did you miss out any changes you made on the bike other than what you mentioned ? Also you did not change the handlebar and mirrors on yours like i've seen others do on mt09.

One thing is for sure. That exhaust is worth it’s weight in titanium :)

Another 👌 production

In the US market 2017 MT-09 doesn't come with quick shifter but you can buy one for about $150 and put it on. It's ready for one. On the 2017 XSR900 it isn't even ready for the Yamaha quick shifter. You'd need a custom tune and quick shifter (much more $$). But interestingly the 2018 XSR900 is ready for the inexpensive Yamaha quick shifter. That was one thing I was bummed about when buying the 2017 XSR900.. But insurance was 1/2 of the cost of insuring a 2017 MT-09, plus I like the looks better, so I got the XSR. These bikes are so much fun!

has the same lean angle as r6 so if u scrappin peg u killin it bro

Hey dude I’m a beginner and they told me better to get a Yamaha mt03 or duke 350 but I’m in love with the Yamaha mt 09 and there is not much difference in the weight between the 09 and 03 do u think it would be fine if I buy it

How tall are you? How do you find your self on a bike(too big for it/just right)?

How tall are you!? I had a 2014 mt09 I loved the bike. But ended up hating it after a while because of the throttle and the suspension. Found it too loud with the akra and no baffle though. Ended up selling it and shelling out $$$$ for a superduke

Great to see my home town. Take it up the old road next time.

Have you scratched the exhaust? Too much lean?

Imagine how he would look next to a Grom

How much fun are the MT10 realy? I love my 09 but are considering MT10 next year. Something that I dont want after that costly purchase is to to fact that the MT09 was as fun.

What brand was the luggage rack. Did you have to drill anything

Nice review. Given you like to tour, did you consider the Tracer version? And do you think the SP versions are worth it for the MT-09 and the MT-09 Tracer? Cheers!

Did an ecu map come with the akrapovich exhaust system ?
