How To Install 2017 FZ09 MT09 Yamaha Fog Light Kit And Test Results 

I really appreciate that you show how bright the light is and not just how to mount

Awesome! I may wait for an after market option bc $500 isn't even practical to me personally. But an upgrade is a must for sure

500 dollars for 2 lights.. insane. Looks great though.

Excellent review - agree with you on the cost - but it's worth it when it comes to your own safety - would be good if the switch could be ditched and they wired directly into the headlight wiring so we're always on - thanks

The spare screw is for the price! Thanks for a great install and for taking your beautiful MT 09 out on wet streets for us.

I love those genuine Yamaha parts, well build and purpose made with decent instructions! Installed a radiator protector and crashbars on my '22 Tracer 7 and took me little over an hour taking my time. Now I want to install the fog light kit (BS2-854A3-00-00 ). Its weird because your vid is 5 years old and they still sell the exact same kit for the '22 model Tracer 7. Great explanatory vid btw!!

Fantastic upgrade and really functional. You're ready to go in the dark now. It's as if it's stock design, so perfection achieved. You're awesome. Hope it's not bothering you when you remember the price 😝 Were you able to share this video with the guy who posted the original video when he goes off the road at a right bend. Adding a personal experience. Coincidentally I have a Yamaha FZ-25 with LED and the total output is just 35w but it's just a bad design with a weak intensity and a low adjuster angle from the factory. Non projected LEDs never do the justice. Anyway, i travel to work mostly at nights and while coming home on a dark street had the loose hanging electrical wires from the tree touch my left side mirror and handlebar, thanks to the LED, i really was about to dash into the high sidewalk wall and a speeding taxi behind me made me really nervous. Luckily i sped up against the cable with a tightening grip after i sensed. Came out with no damage except for left indicator cover break and a loose mirror. Half the indicator was gone (plastic broke due the force but the holding nut saved the other half, really wierd) and only noticed this the next morning. Decided to change it to a halogen and I'm really happy. It's a round headlight with self adjusted beam with customised holding clamps. Glass housing makes it bear the heat output of a 55w Osram Classic bulb. Didn't like to use the older spare Philips Xtreme Vision Plus bulb from my older car. Now I'm almost there where you're. Except i really paid for customising the clamps and not the light itself. So i know the feeling. Just wanted to add this experience after posting sometime back due to similar situation as yours 🤗

Thanks for all the effort you put into your videos, really informative stuff! Fortunately I don't do much night riding because that's crazy money for a couple of lights!

They look great but wow the cost is crazy!!!

I really like your videos! Very helpful in fixing up my new FZ-09 with the new brake pads etc. It seems like extra lights up front will help prevent people from turning left in front of me (how my last motorcycle accident occurred).

Amazing review. Never quite seen an install/test/AND ride video. Awesome stuff man! I'll have to pick up this kit soonish. Looks like awesome quality!

I believe my 6" Rigid LED light bar will fill and tuck underneath the dash perfectly, much in the same config you've done here. That bar will throw around 3200 Lumens. I have it now on my 2012 Super Tenere'. Cost was a tick over $200. PIAA, IMHO is waaay over-rated. Had friends that had them on several BMW RT's back in the day and they worked fine - just so flippin' pricey.

That was awesome. That upgrade was very necessary and yes it is worth it. Because it will save your but in a no light road.

Mate your video's are great. I wish you did a video for the light bulb change for the 2014 model. The instructions in the manual advise to remove grommets that were a nightmare to replace.

That's the longest clap of thunder I have heard in a long long time.

Since purchasing my FJ-09 a few months ago, I've wanted to get these (even knowing the cost)...however, I'm wondering if fog/running lights mounted to my GIVI Engine Guard Bars might be a "smarter" idea. Viewing the video, I do see that the Yamaha/PIAA fog lights do add a considerable amount of light over the headlight, alone, but, at the same time, I noticed there's a "problem" when turning. Yes, the amount of light is increased, but the light to the side of turning still doesn't appear to be enough...for example, when the road curves to the left, you can see the center-line, but only slightly more than "barely". With lights mounted to the engine guard bars, the light pattern should be spread over a wider area, plus it would be "stationary" to the forks. Currently, I'm considering two different options: 1) Hi/Lo LEDs, such as something along the lines of the Denali D2 2.0 TriOptic, (can be wired to function directly with the headlight's Hi/Lo switch, or the Hi/Lo can be operated manually/independently of the headlights): 2) SAE-compliant lights with auto Hi/Lo dimming. Personally, I'm leaning towards option #1, but, if anyone has any suggestions, I'll gladly consider them. I'd prefer to keep cost down, if possible, but, at the same time, quality, lumen output, and size (smaller housing is better than larger, again, due to planned engine guard bar mounting) is of somewhat greater importance than price. Besides, there IS a difference between being "low-priced", and just plain "cheap". Cheap is usually indicative of low(er) quality, while low-priced can still be high(er) quality. So, shout out your best suggestions.

I was waiting for somebody to do a proper video on this, thks twowheel

You shouldn't need an extra light kit in the first place. I can't believe that the stock lights are that bad from the factory. Seems like the bike should have spent an extra day with some engineers before they released it.

I think bikes like this should come with some form of gyroscopic headlights. So the beam stays horizontal even when cornering. If not from the factory then something like these for lights but with a gyro inside to keep the beam flat when cornering would be ideal.

I have to say they are better, but not that much..With the original lights, is just a matter of get use to it....Lots of bikes are like that...Never have issue, apart of suspension....Thanks for good vídeos....

been anticipating this! thank you sir!

I Wouldn't pay $300 for them. Thank you for this video

Thanks mate great install & info video, much appreciated

Wow expensive but NICE!! Thanks for sharing

wow.. that's a great setup! I do agree that $500 is a lot to ask for a simple LED light kit.. but the convenience of OEM look and fit might sway people to them despite the price.

Great video, but that mounting bracket looks like crud.

Great video! Is it possible that "extra" silver screw was for mounting the piece to your frame after you drilled the hole as per the instructions?

I guess that extra screw was for the harness after you drill the hole 👍

Is that spare screw for the relay? Good video. Thanks.

Why not just turn on the hi beams & turn it off when you see the oncoming traffic instead??

Great video mate, thank you! A few questions: -6+ months in how to you rate the improved visibility? -If you could, would you switch them in line with full beam (I.e. logical Fog "AND" Beam to trigger) so that you could dim for oncoming traffic? -Do you think mounting them more substantially to the forks would work better in terms of width of throw and jitter stability? -What color of underwear do you wear 😂.. Just kidding!

I think that two 4" (or one 7" with 2 fastenings) led lights from Amazon might be brighter. Maybe even the existing bracket will be ok for mounting.

Thank you so much for this video! I do a ton of night riding, just bought an MT-09 and the stock headlights are terrifying. Question for anyone reading this... my husband is concerned about tinkering with the wiring/electrical, and installing anything that might be an additional drain on the battery. Thoughts on this?

European get some many more accessories for this bike. GRRRR. Nice video though, love the bracket.

I don’t think these are available anymore. Got a new link for them? Ty

Brilliant vid thanks 🙏🏻

Have you seen any of the Baja Designs S2 pro driver/combo lights? I have played with them on a buddys truck and get that they are spread further apart but wow do they throw a wide pattern that picks up the road well and throws far enough out brighter and farter than my bikes stock lights. By the time you purchase the PIAA light bar and the S2 pro's its still looking at 460.00 for a two light setup but the light output is without question better than the PIAA fog. A single will fit perfectly just below and center of the stock lights but I am not sure if one is enough. It just aggravates me that the stock lights are so bad on the 2017. I do live in the country and commute on many miles of unlit twist roads and just dont feel safe when its pitch black dark.

Well done I will have to do something similar. Did you have your high beams on when on that dark road? The other problem is if you have to dip for oncoming vehicles the fog lights will still be on, so hopefully don't dazzle the oncoming driver.

nice video as usually. Why aren't you my neighbor? :) thank you perfect

How many watts of these lights? Do you increase fuse? Looks Good

thanks for sharing

Hi, I have a vfr800f 2017, do you have any tips on where, how and what type of support, to install an aux light on my bike?. Thanks in advance

Great job

Awesome bro keep it up

Would u mind posting the model numbers for the lights and the mounting kit?

Love it

Nice video...I think you may have aimed them too high since you had the bike on a a stand while aiming them. Have you had any cars high beaming you as you past them?

Is there anywhere else to buy this kit. My local dealer parts department refuses to believe this kit exists and won’t look up anything.

I'm checking the UK site and there's no details, are these Yamaha brand or the PIAAs?

Can these parts be sourced anywhere else’s other than the dealer. My dealer refuses to locate them.

Does it fit 2015 MT09?

how to mount the switch for FJR? I am search high n low for a position to place the switch... :(

which gopro are you using? I think the 5 has manual shutter and iso, should help somewhat

Are these compatible with 2020 models as well???

$275 for a set of Denali spot lights, brackets and flood adapter gets you in for $350 w/ as much or more light output.

Do you have any video showing how to remove the mt09 2017 chainguard for cleaning? Thank you

Hey there, just a quick question as you are quite knowledgeable about this bike, there is a second connector on the left is that correct? Is the connector the same as the connector on the right that you connected these fog lights to? Any advise will be much appreciated. Thanks

How are these plastic pins called?

Just one question, why arnt you using brights on a road like this? That's what they are there for

Just double checking I went to the site you listed and the "MT is the same as our "FZ"? Also what kit does the wiring come in the light kit or the mounting kit?

I can’t find this kit anywhere.

Where can I still buy this?

I'm wondering if these fog lights would function better in corners if mounted to the bike frame instead of front forks? I'm thinking of mounting them similar to how they mount fog lights on adventure bikes, think BMW GS.

Will this set work for the FJ-09?

Is there just no way that anyone could make a replacement led bulb that could be swapped in the housing, one that can provide a wider pattern ??

Great video! Question: Is there a factory USB charger accessory?

Could you retro fit this on a 2014???

Theres a ball flaoting in the right up site

Hi mate, what comes in the hardware kit? Is it just the mount or is it the wiring as well. I have another set of lights in mind but want to be sure I will have all of the wiring needed. Damn Yamaha Aus won't tell me a thing.

Just get light from harbour freight

you don't ride your motorcycle when it rains ? just curious, if haven't until now you should take out in the rain.

Could you please let me know where can I buy this kit ? Perhaps you could provide a link or model #. Thanks

piaa 1100p?

hi, you connect it to the plug for grip warmer?

I wonder would these work on my MT10???

Can you fit this to MT09 version 2014? Thanks

@TwoWheelObsession will this kit work on the 2016 XSR900?

how long did it take to receive these? I ordered mine two weeks ago.

I could not bare the sight of that on my bike but to each their own.....

Insanely expensive. There must be a viable 3rd party option?

LINK???

Definitely not worth it for $500. The stock light is just fine when going straight or in the city, the problem is at aggressive lean angles. No offense but you weren't pushing very hard at all and I still lost sight through those turns for me to be comfortable. As someone who rides primarily at night and absolutely hates the stock headlight in that environment, this looks like a complete waste of money. Does anyone have experience with any other options?

Even at $350 it’s still about $150 more than they’re worth.

Will the light kit fit the 2016 MT09?

Pia and Denali are way overpriced. Harbour freight light is 10 percent the cost and much better .

Shouldn't have to be forced into spending an additional 500 to make up for a manufacturers poor design. Yamaha should be putting these on for free for every FZ09 they sell.
