What oil do you use? Oil makes a massive difference. I'm a huge fan of motul.

How many miles you currently have now in mid 2024?

I have a 2015 MT09. I have to admit that the jerky throtle is throw me off. It's really like everyone describe being like a switch, on and off. But put it into mode B, or what they said the "rain mode", make the bike a little bit smoother. The A mode is very dangerous, especially on wet road. Considering the first gen don't have traction control.

I’d definitely get your suspension adjusted for your weight. Idc how fast or slow you ride, this is critical and also a properly adjusted suspension can prevent death wobbles.

I was just at the dealership. They only have the grey ones in the 2023 model which is about $600 dollars cheaper for the exact same bike compared to the 2024 model. I really like the Yama racing blue theme though so I think I’ll suck it up and take the 2024 model. The MT07 is heaps of fun. It’s a great bike to both start and finish on. You really don’t need any more than that.

thinking about trading in my 2023 zx6r for a 2023 mt09 sp. my zx6r is setup so nice, with an exhaust, filter, flash, puig windscreen, carbon pieces etc and absolutely rips and pulls like a train up to 150-160 but its just so uncomfortable for city riding.

How tall are you bro ? I’m 6,1” just trying to figure out the ergonomics Great video brother 👌🏽

Wait you are in NWA? I just picked up a 2023 MT-09 and now watching this video 😅

you should mess with the suspension it's really unbalance stock,you need to soften the rear and harden the front it goes into the turn a lot better

I wish I had roads like that near me

I found a good 2021 MT-09 used that I'm picking up this weekend. If the bike is as advertised, I will buy it. This is one of the best videos I watched on this bike. Thank you for this.

Might be a dumb question but I’m new to Camaros, how did you launch? Traction button off or competition mode or hold the button down for all off?

Looks like a fun environment too. I feel like this bike wouldnt be as fun driving downtown in a congested city like I am in....I think a sport bike will have to be my retirement plan.

I love my yoshi AT2 but I had to buy the insert it was kind of too loud for my neighbor, without it is awesome

You mentioned first gear engine braking is pretty hard. Does it feel smooth at taking off and ridding at slow speeds? I ride an MT07, I love the bike it is fun. But it feels like every time I get off a stop it can't be ridden slow or chill. It needs to go fast from one stop to the other, which for an everyday commute it gets kinda tiring. I am looking into the CB650R for the inline four, that supposedly has smoother low end since the power is more on the higher revs. But I have always wanted an MT09 and would love to have the extra power, but I am just afraid that it will feel like the MT07 that is always asking for it to be ridden hard at low speeds, can't just take off smoothly at a decent speed.

Its an amazing bike dont get me wrong but why dont get zx6r, more powerful, more sporty and lighter.

I just came across a '22 at a dealer at a solid discount... came from struggling around on a TW200 after selling my Ninja 650 and missing the ability to ride out to good roads. I absolutely love it. I'm dealing with the wind on the interstate because it keeps me humble and below 80mph, and the roads in SE Missouri are what this thing is built for. I wish it had a helmet lock because it doubles as a great city commuter lol. When I rode it off the showroom floor it was set up in D-mode 4 and I thought it had so much power, and then I read the owner's manual and holy crap, I don't think I'll ever need more power than this. It's only been a week and I've already racked up 2k miles and seen more of the countryside than ever before and it's been the best experience riding I've ever had. What an amazing machine. Your video has really only reaffirmed what I've been thinking since I bought it.

I’m seriously thinking about getting one myself.Any problems with the bike so far?God bless and take care.👍🏻

got mine a few weeks ago and it feels like the best street bike ever, definetly worth falling and hurting yourself for if you ask me lmao

I Played a drinking game with vodka every time indicators were cancelled. Am now faceshitted. 🍸🍻🍺🥂

Damn dude you put some miles on her huh

Every new motorcycle I’ve had has had shavings at the first oil change. Usually shows on the draw plug. That being said, all cleared after breakin oil change.

Very boring riding video

That is a beautiful scenery to drive,i truly envy you dude.May the gods of two wheels bless you with long and happy drives in twisting back roads.

How many tyres? you need to look at tyre plugs, saves a fortune. My current Ninja has about 8 plugs. That would have cost me well over £1500 if not for plugs.

9:38 That leaf came out of no where and hanging on bruh

Nice review. 33:14 A detail, they didn't move the steering head a miniscule amount, but rather 30 mm, or 1.18 inches, lower.

Good review, thank you! You can still exploit the bike‘s full potential by making some modifications to the weight, exhaust system and the fueling of the engine 😎🏁🏁✌️

does ylur seat got side to side like it lose

Thanks for such an informative and real world review! Obviously you didn’t go for the SP version and so I’m assuming the standard MT09 is absolutely fine for most riders and the extra fancy suspension isn’t necessary in most riding situations? Thanks again👍

Love the Pig Trail. Also a great ride is around PINNACLE Mnt up to Wye mnt and make the loop back down 10. LOTS of twist and turns an hills. Thinking of getting one or a 2022 xsr900. Miss the 2005 FZ1 I traded for the 15 Fj-09. The seat was a plank though. After shattering my ankle (not on bike) sold the FJ. Now having withdrawls after riding 24 years. Even if just short rides for my PTSD.

Right on man! Coming from sport bikes, I am having so much fun with this motorcycle. You just can’t have more fun on the street than with this. NW Arkansas rocks too. Get that way sometimes.

Seriously you mention ordering a yoshi system, and you haven't done a video of her with the moore mafia ECU flash and the yoshi :(

What jacket do you wear?

My r1 1st gear goes to 105mph, stock gearing and gps verified 😉.. also you can just get adjustable rearsets for a sport bike to fix the leg crampiness

hello ,.. congratulations ,.. beautiful machine ,.. I love the mt 09 ,.. and I still don't have it,.. I'm still on the 07 ,.. which is also very good and fun,.. and even easier , ..but the 09 is another level, no doubt ,.. and really impressed ,.. 5 months ,.. 10 thousand miles ,.. that is, more or less what I've done on the 07 in 2 years ,.. . currently with 13,000 kms ,.. let's see if one day I can go up in the category and it would certainly be another (mt ) in the case, the new mt 09 ,..I love all the mods and improvements in relation to the previous model, it's practically a brand new motorcycle,.. and very well made !!!

if it handles perfectly don't soften the suspension that's the issue that my 2017 had now im picking up my 2022 in 2 days.

How did you do 10k miles in a month I do that in a year and I ride to work

Fantastic deep review, thanks!

Thank you for the review! Can't wait for my bike to come in!

That brake reservoir has to go! It would drive me nuts looking at it rattling away!

i like this bike. my imagination has it. but irl not. i hope soon i can have it

Mines done 2400 miles and rattles and clunks horribly! Think it’s a lemon so trying to swop it out!

I really like this bike but I can’t get over that headlight. It would look better if the headlight was a bit lower down.

Would you consider a remap for more torque down low?

Completely random, but how do you like living in Arkansas?

oh I gotta have cruise control lol SP dawg

Having just bought one of these and having just come from a year with an Aprilia RS660 I can confirm that the quick shifter on this is definitely more smooth. It’s one of the first things I noticed.

I bought a 16 MT09 last September, I absolutely fell in love with this bike. Just when on a right through the north tip of the black forest. Beautiful bike, hella fun in the twisties and a great sound. Nice video and thanks for the review!
