2024+ Yamaha MT-09 - Official First Ride Review by TST Industries: This Is The One! 

Good on Yamaha for not doing that pay to play sales tactic that the Europeans are doing with their bikes. Pay extra just to activate QS, cruise control, ride modes, etc.

This bike sounds amazing when you're the rider. The sounds it makes are like a symphony of futuristic vehicle sound effects from a movie. The oscillating whirr when you're just cruising along at 30mph in 3rd, the hiss and whine when you're engine breaking at higher gears/speed coming from the vents, and the mechanical pop when you slam it in to 2nd and 3rd at 8k+ RPM with the quick shifter. It's glorious.

I just traded in my 2017 FZ 09 for a new 2024 MT09 sp. Comments: I finally figured out how to start the bike every time using the keyless setup :-) My favorite improvement is the throttle smoothness. They finally figured it out! One thing I miss is the sixth gear "turbo whine". It's still there, but either due to mechanical changes Yamaha made or the sound baffles, it is much less noticeable. I'm still getting use to the change in seating/ergonomics. I'm sure I'll adapt but having problems shifting as smoothly due to position changes. The quick shifter is great although I have 50+ years of using a clutch lever so it will take some getting used to it. The engine is still great and I do think the bike feels more stable although early to tell. I may be wrong, but compared to the FZ I think there is a very slight vibration feel in the clutch lever and my feet. Nothing seen with the mirrors. Finding Neutral with the old bike was easy and found it every time. This one just isn't quite as perfect and sometimes the indicator goes to 2nd for a fraction of a second before "N". Don't think it actually goes into second. Could just need a slight adjustment. Had a great time with the bike today.

Best looking MT09 yet! The lines and angles on the "head" flow into the tank so well. The 3rd gen had an biological alien merged with transformer vibe which was cool but the head was too high on the forks. The design style worked better on the MT07. But this one has a mecha katana look and it is amazing!

What a great time to be alive. Great review and beautiful machine! 👌

need that tail tidy! looking forward to everything you develop for it

After watching many many videos describing various motorcycles I finally decided that the MT-09 is the one that had the most features that I wanted. Then, I went to a dealer to see one in person and I was shocked. It was so tiny. I couldn't believe just how small it was. It was as if it was made for a 13 year old. It's too bad they don't make a man-sized version of it.

Picked up my 24 mt09 almost a month ago and I absolutely love it. The thing is a torque monster. 2nd gear is weird in the way that it feels slow until 50 or so mph and then takes off with all the torque, pop it in to 3rd gear at Any rpm and it just rips

I hate having anything on the handlebars and was waiting for a manufacturer to integrate navigation on their reasonably priced bike. Well done Yamaha

Thanks for review man. I enjoyed your review it was more in depth and showed more than any other video on this BEAUTIFUL MT-09. My deposit is already in and im SUPER stoked and waiting for that phone call saying it has arrived at my Houston Yamaha dealer. Thanks again and great review, look forward to seeing the TST accessories video soon. RIDE SAFE AND STAY HAPPY. DUCES.

Glad y’all made a video on this bike because I’ve been watching everyone I could find. I’m looking to get the SP of this bike so I’m looking forward to see everything you’ll sale for it. Keep it up!

I would love to see a half faring for this! A nice windscreen and top of engine cover. I know a lot of people say they would get it. Maybe the R9 fairing will fit with slight modifications. I would get the R9 but my back injury prevents that style of riding.

I love this video. You've done a very good job on making a detailed in depth review. And you're very calm and blessed with a voice that really keeps listeners engaged. I'll be getting my bike tomorrow and I've really enjoyed your video to hype me up even more 🙂.

Awesome. Can’t wait for you guys to release all your mods for this.

Had a 2016 fz09 and loved it to death, got a 2023 SP after a couple of years on that bike. Actually sold it and planning on getting this newer gen. Currently just have my little spunky fz07 track bike that’s been entertaining me in the meantime haha

Mine was in the garage and I saw that special screen. I picked mine up Monday rode it everyday and only had that come on 1 time

Just bought one. We need parts (specifically the tail tidy ASAP. I’ve been checking everyday waiting for it)

Great review and I really like the bike, my only hang up is I feel like those headlights are lacking in the visibility for other vehicles standpoint. Maybe it’s just how it comes across on video though

If I was waiting for a new MT09SP, I'd also take a look at a Street Triple 765 RS. Very similar, and you can actually find a new one at a dealer for sale.

I got a black '24. Waiting on all the goodies, please hurry up and take my money. . .

I just don't understand the wheel colors Yamaha has been putting on their bikes. Are they using a kindergarten class as a focus group!? I had a FJ09 and FZ-1. Great bikes. I'd have to powder coat these wheels as soon as I pick one up... Headlight... code name: Iron Man

Ive been waiting super impatiently for that tail tidy kit to come available and I can see one right there 👀 i was told by customer service its late May or very early June availability - is this still the case? Been holding out for your kit!

Thanks for the great review and showing us this they I personally wasn't aware of 👌

I noticed this 2024 idle goes up when in first gear and about to release clutch. Has anyone else felt that? Almost like what suzuki does with their's to make it easy to get going on first gear

Can you get wine protection for screen 📺 on that model?

One thing they should consider is improving the turn radius like the ktm duke lineup

as I always main Question MT09 vs MT10 :DDXX

Awesome review - thank you so much for sharing!

Can’t get one. Don’t know why Yamaha isn’t building more of them?

I have my eye on the SP version 👌

love the videos. im wondering what happened to the 2020 MT-03 Trackbike/Scrambler build. Is this bike still in your guys possession?

Make taillights for this bike that have the turn signal integrated in the tail light !

No one talks about the tank re-design allowing for a much better turning radius?? Beat's the new 990 duke on price and std tech includem no contest. I'm guessing performance isn't too far behind the new Duke as well. In fact, probably have the 990 rider looking at you in his mirrors and asking himself, "who dat", lol.

How is the suspension? I had a 22 SP.

Vvvveerrryyyyy nice review!!!!icbe ordered my mt09 2024 sp!!it will come at August maybe..!!whats your height and weight?

Orlando Yamaha kawasaki sold me a 2023 mt07 brand new with bad rear wheel bearings and said nothing was wrong with. Said all that noise was normal. Then when they adjusted my chain they over cranked the hell out of it. 😂👍

I own an MT - 07 Pure Black from 2022 and love it - I am sad to see this new generation for MT09 2024 have only one color option and that wierd front lights dont like it at all,and other thing that YAMAHA did not been honest is about the crazy chain vibrations that affect the driving-even its lubircated and fine tuned chain still get way to much noise and vibrations

Great review, can i ask how tall / big is the rider ? Looks like the bike fits you perfectly

Does this base mt09 have cruise control? or is that only on the mt09 SP

I wonder if that 3rd gen QC/AB can be added onto the 2nd gen QC/AB from a 2023 MT-09 SP for example. And I would like to see the headlight difference if they are any brighter or better than previous gen MT’s.

Yall dropping a low mount fender eliminator? Not into the high mount. I like the clean looking lines when the plate is tucked back and against.

I've been waiting impatiently for my MT-09 SP since November!

mines already on order!

hi mate i received mine a month ago and i love alot

Such a nice bike!

Should I buy this or a gsx8s for my second bike coming from a z400. Ps. I like to go fast and live in flat Florida with not many curvy roads.

Great review!

Hardly elusive, 7 days order time in the UK :) If you want fairings, get a Tracer.

When will you guys come out with a tail tidy for the mt-09?

10600$??? in austria we have to pay 12200 €for normal version :(

And do you know what parts from then23 are universal and will fit the 24?

Are you guys working on a rear light assembly for this bike?

they say the chassis breaks true ?

Ya’ll hear anything about the SP and where TF it is?

nice 3rd person footage. I am so tired of motorcycle reviewers just using shitty pov go pro footage riding on the road while reading a spec sheet, I actually wanna see the bike

Thanks Yamaha, you put the best colors on the non SP model, instead if having a choice of colors for the SP.🤔😕

Incredible bikes but that ugly exhaust system has got to go.

Anyone ride theirs at night yet? I bought it for my work commute. The headlight is my biggest complaint about this bike. They shouldn't put a straight line cut off like new car lights. When in a turn you lose 80% of sight through the turn Instantly as there is no upward projection. One of the biggest of many reasons I'm selling mine at the end of the season. Great bike for city riding, I guess, but other than that.. meh.

I dont like the way the tank sits in the crotch. The MT-07 tank is much better.

Street Triple 765 any day of the week

It looks like a bionicle

I get it you need to create content... but the headlight is worse than gen 3, so is the tank and seat, the display is just weird with the giant black boarders, but most importantly the rider position... if I wanted my back and wrists to hurt I would have kept my Aprilia RSVR.

This bike will snitch on you with all that

Dude is the Chinese version of Chase on Wheels😂😩

Mid age styling😅

The diamond is the XSR900

I have a question bro. how did you shorten that rear turn signal and license plate light up to near the tail light ? that is neat. is the license plate light still there also ? thanks in advance for your feefback.
