2017 Yamaha FZ-09 / MT-09 | First Ride

[@chaseontwowheels]

This is typically where I would say some funny thing about the bike or the video, but the new gloves I'm wearing in this video are freaking awesome. I gotta get a review out on these things: bit.ly/2lCHBtK

Please do a review on 2017 NINJA 300 ABS or 2017 NINJA 300 ABS KRT EDITION

I'm hoping I am not the only one but I would like to see some first rides on bikes other than sport/street bikes...Perhaps some cruisers like the Yamaha Stryker, Victory Vegas 8 Ball, Harley Nightrod etc....

FZ-09 vs FZ-10

[@InvictvsNox]

Bike cost, insurance cost, looks like a decepticon.

[@VentureGroms]

Watching this after owning an fz for a few days, I really feel like he's over exaggerating on the engine braking/throttle snap, don't get me wrong!!! There IS that little jolt when the throttle first initially gets applied but it gets butter smooth after that one little pickup!! And the engine braking, I've owned a ninja 500, grom, r6, and a Husqvarna te510. The fz09 by far has the least amount of engine braking out of any of those. It's soooooooo nice you can just throw your hands off the bars and not get yeeted forward. I can see on a first ride, really wanting to bring attention to every noticable detail of the experience, but please please please if you're reading this and looking at an 09, and those notes make you want an 07, seriously go test ride an 09 I promise you it won't be as bad as your thinking. As long as you have previous experience and know how to manage your throttle, it really is super super tame, this bike is perfectly happy cruising at 20 in 1st perfectly smooth, the r6 would be bogging like crazy trying to get you to give it more throttle, it's the PERFECT commuter bike. Highly highly highly highly recommend

[@crewe99]

i love my mt09. i live in A mode. once you get used to the front end being slightly soft which it is (iv'e never had a problem with the rear shock, ever) and the bike does demand absolute mastery of the throttle before you can throw her around then its an absolute dream of a machine and if you value a bike based on how you feel when riding it there is very little that can touch the mt09. the motard looks. the price, the amount of bike for your money. its just ear to ear smiling all day. every time you open your garage you will smile.

[@LOOKWHATISEEHERE]

Chase - You nailed it with the torque comments. Like my father always used to say, "horsepower is great but it's the torque that does the work". That is why you can feel it and that is why you are having so much fun with it. Excellent job!

Tail tidy and a swap to LED indicators = my very first modification 😉

[@Xerdoz]

The reason they flattened the seat with the 2017 version is that people complained getting their nuts crushed by the tank because they kept slipping forwards. Also, there's no such thing as too much power (unless it's way way too much power)

[@hu5kyy280]

I feel that if they raised the eyes and front turn signals a little, the bike would look a tad bit cooler. But nonetheless, still a gorgeous bike.

I sold my 2012 R6 for a 2018 MT09 and I have no regrets. I mostly do street riding and the amount of torque this bike has is insane. I leave it in Standard mode and tc 1.

It was always hard to justify buying an FZ-09 when the FZ07 was so much cheaper, better sounding(slip on), bigger screen display, more controllable & comfortable for smaller riders... & FJ09 Tracer was also cheaper with the same powerful engine & every extra under the sun as Stock. But this new 2017 Model Makes a case for itself more than just having a crazy engine with all the updated parts :D Type of bike you'll never get bored riding and you won't need to buy much more than a slip on and Maybe bar mirrors.

The power modes basically adjust how quickly the throttle bodies react to throttle input, if you have a light touch then you can a mode around, a good dyno tune will go along way though, mine is completely rideable daily in a mode now, I'd like to see your thoughts on the new z900 though, that looks like a Mt09 killer

[@jasonpadgett2288]

Yeah, I'm late to the party but have watched many of your reviews. I've been riding nothing but dirt bikes since the age of 5, no "street bike" experience. But now at 51 years of age, the dirt hurts more often than not and I am looking for something to just take the edge off after a day of work. I've ridden all CCs dirt from 500 two strokes to today's modern 450 4 strokes. I don't want crazy but I don't want grandma and I think the FZ09 or MT 09 by now is the answer

[@LazyWaffleman]

Now that this is out, I bet the older fz09s are going to have big discounts on them at the dealerships. The question is, is the 17 worth it?

[@mnanm47]

That's a good question. I just got the 16 early last year. The main thing I like are the headlights and that rear tire cover because I hate how much stuff the fz-09 throws up once you get a fender eliminator kit on.

[@Osprey1994]

LazyWaffleman if it had just been visual then no it wouldn't be but they really sorted this bike out. It will be worth waiting for a 2017 to be sold as used.

You can get your pre 17' reflashed by Yamaha for free. It takes care of a lot of the issues.

[@BIKEGEARMOTOVLOG]

love the video chase, 22:10 the throttle play can be adjust on the cable right by the handle bar.

[@cmrobbers]

Yep. A lot of bikes come from the factory with a lot of play for safety reasons, bad play can definitely make it feel like it "lags" because you have to twist your wrist a lot more to get gas (sometimes you can't easily even max out the throttle comfortably).

[@roberttosa2560]

[@InvictvsNox]

Hey Chase, Much of the criticism of this bike in the past if I recall was that the throttle response felt more like an electronic switch rather than a true throttle. Did you feel that the 2017 has improved in this aspect? And did you know if those changed carried over into the XSR900 as well?

Is Triumph going to give you the new Street Triple 765 to mess around with???????

[@UnknownProdrive]

Jovan Irving If I was in this market for a new bike I know which I'd choose. It wouldn't be Japanese. Yourself?

[@jirving5018]

Sleepingdragon 1 As someone that has owned several Japanese bikes, I couldn't agree more. Don't get me wrong, I love Yamaha but they're just not cutting it anymore for me personally. I would LOVE a tuono but they're a bit pricey for me. I'm waiting for the new Street Triple to be on the market and for more extensive reviews to be done on it because I would love that as my next bike. A bit more expensive than the FZ-09 but you're getting all the bang for your buck with the Street Triple in my opinion.

[@UnknownProdrive]

Jovan Irving You must be a mind reader. I'm a huge Tuono fan. The new 1200 factory spec I think it's called looks simply fantastic. I love a V4 engined bike too, great powerplants. The best sounding engine, even better sound than a triple. The new Triumph with the quality parts like the Brembos etc just smash the Yamaha to bits.The new design has made the handling even better plus the cc increase makes the Triumph the one you'd choose. The reviews so far say the bike is superb.

[@jirving5018]

Sleepingdragon 1 Dude you're 100% right, the V4 is a fantastic setup, but that sound. That V4 sound is what makes my heart race every time I hear it. I would take that over any triple any day just for that grunt. That crossplane R1 sound gets me going too. But everything about the Tuono is simply amazing...except for that price. But I guess you get what you pay for. Anyway haha. I couldn't agree more. Triumph really killed it with this new Street Triple. I would go as far to say it pretty much blows all of the Japanese bikes out of the water in its class and (I haven't done very extensive research on it but...) is probably a strong contender for the Ducati monster. I was hoping for an upgraded look to the bike to match all of the upgraded components but I can overlook the looks due to all of the upgrades. What it boils down to: I just really want a new bike haha

[@dmandhelen]

Sleepingdragon 1 Can you imagine how good a Mt09 RS would be ... I bet Triumph are hoping they don't make one .... Triumph have had to work really hard to make a bike that's better than the "Standard ".. MT09.... :-)))

[@CockatooDude]

Depends on what you want.

Yes it is! It has a lot more power, sharper handling and weighs the same.

[@Osprey1994]

Bertrand they don't weigh the same the FZ-07 has better suspension if you aren't talking about the 2017 models (I don't think the 2017 FZ-07 had anything but optional ABS added). The FZ-07 is better on gas has a great engine sound and is better behaved. They are both fantastic bikes Jakethegardensnake knows his way around fast bikes and a wheelie or two and he chose the FZ-07 I think that says something but it also might have been he didn't want to spend much more. The FZ-07 is a playful bike with plenty of power and the FZ-09 is a serious bike that will request you treat it as such until you have tamed it.

[@ryandolan8530]

I would love to get the fz-07 but when I went to a dealer and sat on both side by side the fz-09 was way more comfy for me being 6'4, 210 lbs. Having my feet up on the pegs I feel cramped on the fz07 which annoys me since I love the aesthetic appeal and the sound it produces. The 3 cylinder is still great sounding though.

[@northofknowhere130]

Perhaps rearsets would help out. I'm 6'2" and in the same dilemma, and the 2016 leftovers are going for $6500 or less. But, with the z900 coming out at $8400 non-abs, it's worth a look too.

Use the rear brake to control wheelies. When you feel it's starting to lift, add rear brake to keep the front on the ground. Thta way you don't need to close/open/close the throttle resulting in a more smoother power delivery.

Cmon Chase.. Yamaha designed the 3 riding modes to control the throttle responsiveness, not engine maps. Each mode will allow for full horsepower but changes the sensitivity of the throttle. I've had a 2015 Fz-09 & currently have a 2017 Fz-10 and they both work the same way.

Viper3870750 he pretty much complaining about all three modes he's the only one on KZbin that says anything bad about this bike lol

[@Oldschool503]

[@mohammadahmad9551]

15:27 so true that's why i love riding my DRZ400 way more than my FZ6 that i previously had

[@Branchofzion]

Great review. A friend of mine just bought this bike and I send him this. Great job.

[@MsGhostDark]

honestly i don't like the design of FZ yamaha it feels ugly that's my opinion

[@krispewkreme4510]

Ugly like your profile picture? The FZs are sexy as hell. And they sell like hot cakes

[@larryhouse2767]

I own one. They're ugly and they sound bad. They look cheap because they are. That's why they sell. They perform very well for their price point.

[@ILoveCostcoPizza]

get the Yamaha XSR if you like the retro style. Almost the same bike but different style.

[@jonsnyder4457]

#latesquaddd not a big fan of the headlight though kinda ugly to me

[@VivalaGhost]

Jon Snyder Same. I don't like it that much either. I think it's positioned too low or something

[@jonsnyder4457]

Blur Encore agreed it would look a little better if it was higher but I would take the old headlight over the new one all day

[@VivalaGhost]

Jon Snyder Yeah I would too. I like the old headlight better

[@CockatooDude]

I don't know, the old headlight looked really basic, the new one has a little more flair.

[@VivalaGhost]

CockatooDude Yeah, that's true. I don't know, something about how the new one is positioned or something looks weird to me. To each their own haha!

[@MotardMio]

looooooooove these first rides man! So awesome and good executed :D

[@danielgomez2555]

To turn off traction control you just hold the switch up while at a stop. It takes a few seconds but it will turn off. I have the 2017 fz09 in that exact color and I love it. Upgraded from an r3. Leaving the dealer I did an accidental wheelie in B mode! I will say that you get used to the instant power at low speeds after putting a few miles on it.

[@tooshort617]

Daniel Gomez I'm getting this bike coming from a r6 never ridden a 3 cylinder after watching this video it looks like he is petrified of the bike

[@AnhLe-bo9hz]

the headlight looks stupid af imo....

[@joshuaserkin4284]

That's your personal opinion my opinion is they are sexyyyyyy af.

[@Tevorek]

Joshua Serkin same!

Yes it does look stupid, but so does the older model's

[@staskrupin5056]

Miika Venäläinen I like the old one better

So did I at the first sight. Recently the new design has started to grow on me

[@hartleracing]

I just bought the same color. love the bike, couldn't be happier!

[@mays4407]

finally!!!!! I have been waiting for this test ride F***** SICK INTRO MAN!!!

[@Tyler3209]

The turn signals are actually supposed to be where you pointed to. They are in other countries. Us regulations require the turn signals to be a certain distance apart, which makes them in an awkward spot on all bikes that aren't designed for America. My bike and scooter have the same problem.
