2017 Yamaha FZ-09 First Test Review: bit.ly/fz-09
Yamaha’s sporty FZ-09 is a home run for the Tuning Fork brand. But it’s not resting on its laurels, instead choosing to release an enhanced version for 2017 - only three years after it first arrived on showroom floors. Considering the solid platform, engineers didn’t have to do too much to transform a good bike into an excellent one. We outlined the updates in the preview report from the AIMExpo, so let’s dive into the ride…
Gear we wore on this test ride:
Shoei RF-1200 Valkyrie Helmet: goo.gl/nL6jjX
Alpinestars T-Jaws Air Jacket: goo.gl/GNKDYG
Alpinestars Riffs Jean: goo.gl/Az75RY
Alpinestars Warden Gloves: goo.gl/nKTPBf

Just bought mine and freaking love it!! Coming from an R6 to this. I'll never get another crotch rocket again. Now I have all the power and this is very comfortable. Highly recommended!

@RidersDomain 7 лет назад

The YZF-R6 is certainly great for the track, but for general street riding you can't lose with this one. Glad you liked the review.

@gabrieldemelo5363 6 лет назад

Would this be a good bike to ride in the city? I need to go through some traffic so I am not sure if I should get the MT-07 or MT-09

@boostdd 6 лет назад

Jarrett Holmes considering trading in my 07 r1 for one , I only ride occasionally now and think something more comfortable less power would be nice

@lucyferina 6 лет назад

I got both the FZ09 and the FZ10 (2017) I love both but they feel very different. I will never go back to a cruiser...

@eddyquik 7 лет назад

Yamaha should gift you a bike. I think you just single handedly sold 5 million units.

I ❤ the Transformer look of the headlights too! I wish I could wheelie like you. I ❤ the FZ09 too!

@RidersDomain 7 лет назад

It is awesome for sure. Too bad we couldn't have ridden the motorcycle at night to see how that Twin Eye headlamp performs. Follow up test, anyone? :D

@650ib 7 лет назад

Riders Domain Yes.... Long term review please.

@MatsF10 7 лет назад

Well, when someone copy the Z1000 headlight its almost certainly gonna look good

Glad to see you're still doing bike review vlogs, Adam. Looks like a great bike. Thinking about picking one up as a second bike.

Oh and 650ib is the man too. Dude LOVES bikes lol. The hype and enthusiasm is contagious. Keep it up fellas.

@62RedRider 6 лет назад

Great review and I love watching Adam put the bike through it's paces. Just a few things I wish he covered, I'm always interested in how well the mirrors work and a bit more about the instruments.

@dennism1919 7 лет назад

Great review, Adam. Really good information in real time as you were riding. I like that! It's nice to see Yamaha keeping the bike on the sharp edge. That triple is a real money maker for them. Thanks for the great work.

The is the best review of the MT-09. Thanks for that. Well done, Adam.👌👍

@jasonm9264 6 лет назад

Just bought a 2015. Plan to upgrade suspension. Love the power of the bike. Coming from an R1, it still gives the power and is more comfortable. Best all around bike I’ve owned.

@dremyofit6719 7 лет назад

Beautiful said video on the 2017 FZ09...I'm a big fan of the 09 and you rocked the newer version...🎯🎯🎯

@reeceg6058 5 лет назад

Just purchased my 2017 mt09 and I love it. I had a gsxr750 before this and it was a nice/quick bike. However the mt has power as soon as you twist the throttle and its a ton more fun. Great overall bike

@frost2722 7 лет назад

Good Stuff. I rarely ever watch reviews unless Adam does them. Looking forward to all the other bikes that came out this year. Yamaha nailed the adjustments on this one.

coming off a sport bike and having only limited seat time on my new fz09 i can tell the suspension is a little squishy for my liking but im also 215lbs, will be looking to upgrade that soon.

@pattybags4155 7 лет назад

That is a proper review of a motorcycle. Subscribed. I bought an FZ07 as my first bike, and I'm still riding it 3 yrs later. I am ready to upgrade, and the FZ09 just makes sense. I love the style, performance, technology and most of all the price. Yamaha makes the best bikes and gives you the most bang for your buck. Love it.

@RidersDomain 7 лет назад

The FZ07 is a solid bike for sure but if you are thinking it's time to upgrade definitely give the 09 a look!

@defdaz 7 лет назад

I test rode this and the tracer version. Great bikes but the throttle is still snatchy when going from off throttle and the right-hand engine case is both massive and very close to your leg. I burnt my leg on it once and kept hitting it with the shin part of my boots. I rode an MT-10 afterward and the difference was stunning. Silky smooth yet incredibly powerful and just as comfortable as the MT-09. It's worth the extra $$$.

@bogdan135 7 лет назад

Impressive how much information and analysis Adam can convey during semi-fast paced twisties ride. Other reviewers be like, "umm, it's ... flickable?"...

Great job on the review Adam. Sweet machine no doubt and I've wanted one since they were released. Maybe this year I'll pick one up.

@AdamWaheed 7 лет назад

Yeah man, I would for sure. I saw a 2016 XSR900 at a local dealership for $8000 flat. That got my attention!

@abnx9670 7 лет назад

For some reason I could have sworn Yamaha outfitted the 2017 FZ-09 with the XSR suspenders, but maybe not?

@jbguzman79 7 лет назад

Adam Waheed That's a damn fine deal! I like the XSR as well, both look great. The XSR is probably more sleeperish and less prone to eagle eye 5-0. Might be a better idea to go with the XSR 👍

@RidersDomain 7 лет назад

Great - yeah this bike will run circles around that 2012 Ninja 650. The redesigned for 2017 Ninja 650 is a pretty neat bike too though to be fair.

@sighheinrich 7 лет назад

There is engine vibration above 5500 rpm. Try to cruise at 80mph or above, and the vibration is transferred to the mirrors and handlebar. You can also feel it in the foot pegs. It's quite bad after 20+ minutes at 80+ mph.

@chitownbikerboymotovlog467 7 лет назад

Great review, Adam. What road(s) in CA were you guys riding? I want to check them out.

@Theovanpersie 5 лет назад

@nickclarkuk 4 года назад

I heard from another reviewer the compound of the Bridgestone tyres are not the same as the non oem version. It’s a harder, less grippy compound for longevity.

absolutely loved the vid! but that turning signal made me crazy xD

@jasonlai9 7 лет назад

Fantastic review. Subscribed. I'm in the market for a bike and looking at the FZ (MT) 07 and FZ (MT) 09 in Australia. I've been riding a J1 Kawasaki ZX6R for 15 years and time to go back to naked bikes where I started riding. Do you recommend the 09 or 07? Also I presume that your speedometer is in MPH being in America. Is that right?

@RidersDomain 7 лет назад

Hi Rick - thanks for the note. Glad you like the video. Your comments are important so thanks for letting us know your thoughts!

@Nexus-6 6 лет назад

The difference between the FZ-09 and XSR900, at least in Canada, is more than just "a few hundred bucks". It is $1100 more for the XSR900, $11,099 vs $9,999, for the FZ-09. I recently rode the FZ-09, among other bikes at Yamaha Demo Days. The Yamaha rep told me that the two bikes also have different fuel mapping, with the FZ-09 having the more aggressive fuelling.

@seancaceres4003 7 лет назад

@maskdavid1991 7 лет назад

@Riders Domain, Were you riding in mode B? what does each mode mean? between the 07 and 09 would you go for 09? I'm thinking 09 but will go and try both nonetheless.

@RSfiregod 7 лет назад

if i'm not mistaken, you can turn of ABS on the MT-09..

@AllThingsSuperMoto 6 лет назад

Question to anyone who can answer this: If you can't turn off the ABS specifically the rear wheel. What about doing dank 12 o clock wheels and trying to go for the rear brake to bring it down a bit and its starts cutting off the braking

@markwhite4182 7 лет назад

No mention of the quickshifter or does the US market not get that as standard? And I'm afraid I disagree with the suspension, it's still massively under-damped for my liking, even on max adjustment. I enjoyed your review though!

@justiceedalat7670 7 лет назад

Nice informative video. I know what Is ABS's function. Can anyone out there explain what is "traction control "and its function? Tnx.

@paulcherry9255 7 лет назад

I wonder if they've solved the Cam Chain Tensioner issue for the 2017... Here's hoping!

@Anditover 7 лет назад

I'm saving up for a Tracer 900 this Summer, love the looks and what you can do to the ECU (flashing absolutely transforms the performance), but the suspension is still a concern. They didn't really address the issue, they just increased the spring preload! The thing is Yamaha know their suspension is suspect because they offer upgraded fork internals and a Ohlins shock. To me, that is cynical marketing. My Suzuki GSX-R750 has top notch, fully adjustable suspension at both ends straight out of the box. If Yamaha know what works good, they should just go ahead and fit it. Why fit second rate essential parts?

@jimmansi1187 7 лет назад

Adam, awesome review! Fz 09 or Gsxr750 for street riding, which would you go with? Great channel!

@exothermal.sprocket 7 лет назад

Find a demo ride and check both of them out. Only you can decide what would appeal to you. Both are well equipped this year.

@chrisweston9764 7 лет назад

Absolutely fantastic bike. Don't understand why the US bikes don't get the quickshifter stock though! Let's not kid anyone - TCS will happily limit wheelies as well as stopping you spinning up if you aren't as skilled as the reviewer!

I'm looking for a good deal on a 2014 or 15, it wouldn't take much to fix the throttle problem, I heard you can have newer mapping installed fairly easy.

@RidersDomain 7 лет назад

Deals are certainly out there on 2014-2016 machines. A ECU re-flash is one way to fix the squawks as is stiffer suspension springs. Good luck on your search and let us know when you find one.

you can turn the traction control of you just hold the switch some way! and it may kill abs too not sure

@exothermal.sprocket 7 лет назад

Hey Adam, great review. I checked Fuelly for the MPG stats on this bike and after reading your article, I disagree with the mileage statement you gave. The mean mpg average is about 42 mpg for a lot of owners per the reports. I've read of people getting upwards of near 50 mpg when they aren't reefing on the throttle a lot. But like you said, I really wish this thing was at least 4.5 gallons of capacity. I'd tour on it. The FJ-09 appeals for touring but it gives up some sporty pretensions. Please review the new Kawasaki Z900 when you get a chance. Looking forward to your honest take on it.

@AdamWaheed 7 лет назад

Yeah it all depends on how fast you ride. During this test, (and most of the rides I do) we were generally riding at a quick clip with lots of starting and stopping. I'm sure if you cruise and keep the start/stops to a minimum you could achieve a higher MPG figure. Sounds good - the official press launch even for the Z900 is actually taking place right now in San Diego, California. We didn't get an invite on this one but perhaps there will be an opportunity to swing a leg over that thing later on here.

@exothermal.sprocket 7 лет назад

@AdamWaheed 7 лет назад

Interesting - according to Yamaha US both brand's of tires are being fitted on 2017 FZ-09s.

@AdamWaheed 7 лет назад

Yamaha US wouldn't fit tires that aren't stock on the 2017 bike for the press introduction event.

@julianp.2840 7 лет назад

Ah okay. So I just ended up with the Dunlops. Damn lol. Thanks for the info!

@AdamWaheed 7 лет назад

Yeah, they aren't terrible but it would definitely be worth replacing sooner rather than later. A worthy replacement would be the Sportmax Q3 - you can't beat em' on performance & value.

Great review! Congratulations! :) This is the bike I bought recently, unfortunately it's still at the dealership's as the weather here in Hungary isn't really suitable for riding yet. A great thing is, that here in Europe we also have the quickshifter stock mounted :) But you over there have the nicer colour options on the other hand :)

Péter Oláh Hey I picked mine up Saturday just gone here in UK. had a nice first day afternoon on it . What colour did you go for?
