5 Things I Hate About Yamaha MT-09 

That exhaust was so loud my grandpa started loading his M1 Garand thinking its WW3

MT’s -(Master 0f Torque) ultimate Machine.

The only thing I hate about that bike, is that it isn't mine

The MT09 is a seriously great bike but I did have some issues with it. That's why I brought and love my XSR900. The horn button is still in a stupid place and the amount of times that someone cuts me up and instead of honking them I just cancel my indicators is getting beyond laughable. I have also changed out the stock suspension, but I'm a bigish chap so probably would have done that on any bike. I also don't get the quickshifter on a road bike, is it a big issue to just blip the clutch?

I have had my 2019 MT09 just over a year now and agree with some of the points you and others have made , but others not so much...for me the standard seat is terrible and makes you slide into the tank, which I sorted by getting the comfort seat. I do regular 300km rides now with no issues. The point you made about short people hitting the engine is not an issue, and being a short arse Its totally fine. The stretch to the horn was for me a stretch of a complaint really..sorry ..lol...since in 36 yrs of riding and owning 20 bikes from different Japanese manufacturers I can honestly say I could count the times I have pressed my horn on any bike on one hand, its just not a thing that I would even consider. But maybe that's just me, for all I know everyone else spams their horn on a daily basis..lol. The throttle can be a little snatchy at times and can catch you off guard, and at higher speeds the front end feels pretty floaty..BUT ....that engine!!!....I have had much faster bikes, but never one that was this much fun, the grin factor wins :)

what exhaust are you running?? Sound super good

Good looking mirrors, who makes them?

Love your videos!! Greetings from Verdansk

Nice bike, your complaints are completely subjective, for me real complaint it could be if there is something wrong with how the bike mechanically performs. This bike it just great buy although the little not very well thought switches. I got question about the bike itself- does the bike shut off after it been working and warming up for over 10 minutes. I noticed this one happened to my bike after stayed and working started rising the temps and then shut off. It looks to be some kind of safety future I am guessing. Thank you!

What mirrors do you have in this video?

Been riding mine for a month now. I love her. She's perfect in every way.

anyone know what mirrors those are?

I absolutely love my 2019 mt09 tuned set to ride hight and she moves

Does anyone know the song? 😬

very nice 👍 Bring more videos, love your content. ✌

3:28 Absolutely hate this switch. Already killed a starter relay cause ot it on my fz07 2 years into ownership. Now I always slide it up a bit after starting.

I also had the same switch issue with my old FZ07. Personally I love the mt09, I'm on my 2nd one. only real complaint is the seat, get the comfort seat 100%

Big delay? Sure didn't sound like one.

you should consider yourself lucky just to have this piece of engineering from Yamaha... I wish with all my heart not to be on your position but just to be lucky to have one... MT09

Bought this bike and have a time to drive only for 1,5 week, because it is too cold. And I can confirm all this things described in video (except quick shifter, because I don't have it). THis is my first impression

I hope after nine thousand reviews on social media, Yamaha has seen a universal trend with the MT-09: *Rear shock is mush, soft, lacks damping and allows the swingarm to lay too horizontal (pro-squat angle). *Seat is lame *Throttle control is quite a mess *Switchgear is flimsy, lacks feedback and tactility, and button location is flat dumb *Every bike in your company lineup has a decent instrument display, but the -09 has to be some whack outlier ****I'll add one in here: YOUR FUEL TANK CAPACITY IS TOO SMALL!!!

but we love that fart sound every up shift .. so its actually a delay that making it sound like that ...

I took one out for a test drive a couple of days ago, absolutely insane acceleration. after the first couple of minutes the first thing that went through my mind is that I want to get through this test ride alive. and I really think that dealers should not just be letting anyone get on this bike for a test ride. I have been riding my entire life. and I had a 1984 Ninja 900 which was similar HP. but that bike gets insane after 6 or 7000 rpm. but the Mt09 is like a race horse right from the bottom of the rpm's. and the throttle is a little abrupt. and the front wheel feels like it it a hover board, it never quite feels planted on the ground. my old Ninja felt way more planted and confidence inspiring at any speed. I really feel like if a dealer let some new rider or even an intermediate rider head out on one of these bikes. they might not come back alive. the dealer where I test drove the bike didn't ask me any questions about my riding ability or experience. and after one minute out on the bike. I instantly was talking to myself about how insane the bike was. I road the bike for a half an hour. and it wasn't until the last ten minutes that I started to settle into the bike. where I figured out how to ride it in a more easy manner. because there is something about the bike that makes you want to pull your arms out of your shoulder sockets all the time. but I always had a little bit of fear doing it because of the feeling of the floating front wheel. and as soon as you get up to any kind of speed the wind is hammering into you. I do like how the bike feels light. and how the steering is light feeling at low speeds. but it needs to feel more planted at high speeds. and even off the line. when I dropped the bike off at the dealer I had mixed feeling about it. part of me really liked its raw power and sitting position. but I did not like how light the front wheel felt at speeds. and the wind. and overall I felt like the bike was to insane for me. I am not in my 20's and I do not take as many risks as I used to take. and I don't want to end up being a mangled piece of meet on the side of the road somewhere, and I am actually happy I didn't have this bike in my 20's because I probably wouldn't be around now. now I want to test ride the mt07. I think that might be better suited for me. I just wish it had an upper fairing, I just don't need that insane power all the time of the mt09. and I want to live to be a little older than what I am now.

One of my dreams

You should try the z900 to compare this to

any1 else havign vibrations at 5,5-7k rpm??? especially when accelerating... foorpegs and handlebars.

I Liked the First headlight the Most .

Im surprised that you didn't mention the on/off feel from ride by wire throttle

Oooooof🔥

The seat sucks. Get the Sargent seat, it's more comfortable than the Yamaha comfort seat and wicks water

Is this a good beginner bike ?

You should have went for a test ride before you purchased it.

New mt09 comes with quickshift stock since 2017

is there a headlight for it that makes it looks less like a alien face and more like a motorcycle?

Really surprised you've not actually mentioned engine vibrations anywhere over 4k rpm, made me actually sell the bike

why all the gripes for the price its a great bike a few tweeks and it gets better why f......g moan just buy something else if you do not like the bike move on !!!!! do not think yamaha will worry too much on your comments they will keep on improving models as they release them !!!

YOU HATER. jk jk good video man i have one too and i agree with some of the things you said

My hands and feet are the quick shifter....

bruh, lets take your tyres to KFC
