2021 MT09 SP | Spring Ride |

A nice flowing cruise in the sprintime sunshine on our Yamaha MT09 SP Gen 3. Enjoy listening to the CP3 engine sing through the midrange rpm's, with the occasional howl up top to boot.

the beast is back!!

[@tankslapmoto9999]

Indeed!😆

[@assassinofoz]

One of the reviewers (I think MCN) when it first came out said if you wheelie it long enough the ABS will turn off.

[@assassinofoz]

It was 44Teeth kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWm4imiAgt-Foqs at 8:45

[@tankslapmoto9999]

Yeah, it has happened a few times but it means you can slide the rear, which is fun. I unlock the abs in the beginning of one of our older videos kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYqQYmCYZb1qgdU

Me gusta esta moto por lo divertida que parece y con lo fácil que es levantar la rueda delantera solo con abrir gasss!!

[@tankslapmoto9999]

Sí, hace caballitos con el acelerador como pocas bicicletas en las que he montado, ¡incluso en la 3ra marcha!

[@franciscojuanlopezsamper5057]

Pues yo tengo actualmente una cbr600rr 2008 y estoy pensando en comprar una naked,pero no se si comprar una mt09 o una tetra de mil como gsxs1000,cb1000r, tu que me dices?? Me lo pasaré mejor con la mt09?? Tengo 43 años yá!! Jeje✌

Was out on mine earlier. Had daughter on back today. She loved it, but complained about the seat being too hard 🤣

[@tankslapmoto9999]

Ah nice, I can remember being on the back of my Dad's bike when I was a kid, great memories👍

[@Jesusprayerwarriorbw]

My comfort seat is on backorder

[@adamstallard5523]

@@tankslapmoto9999 have you got a link to the Brembo master cylinder you used? Also which switch did you use so could keep the use of cruise control? Thanks

[@MyRandomLife247]

More corner exit wheelies please!

[@tankslapmoto9999]

👍

[@Jesusprayerwarriorbw]

Yes please!

[@Jesusprayerwarriorbw]

@@tankslapmoto9999 Yes please! I'm trying to learn how to do them. I keep letting off the gas to quickly and heavy landing. I'll get there. Just 50 & a bad back and my wife keeps bitching about me acting 20!

[@jamiepoole5193]

Great bike mate. May i ask what your method of holding on is🤣 Ive noticed on your anti lift video your legs weren't gripping the tank, yet your throttle hand seemed relaxed. When i do that on mine i feel like im gonna slide backwards. I either grip the tank with my legs, or hold on too tight with my arms ( Which im trying not to do) you dont seem to do either. How do you hold on🤣👍

[@Steve-motorcycles]

I love mine so I know why you keep saying it’s a great bike..👍🏻

[@tankslapmoto9999]

Cheers👍, other bikes might handle sweeter, look better, make more horsepower etc... but few bikes capture the fun factor of riding a motorcycle quite like this one, in my humble opinion.

[@Steve-motorcycles]

@@tankslapmoto9999 My view is that bikes are supposed to be about fun, there aren’t many that much more fun than the MT09SP. The one I could say is the 1290 duke, but I think I’d lose my licence, possibly do a bit of jail time if I had that to long 😂😂

[@jonasheuchemer1030]

Same bro 😎

[@voyteq1]

I have previous version of MT09 and it is an amazing fun factory! I added 15T front sprocket and braided brake hoses & EBC sintered pads + steering dumper ( just to mention a few ) and the bike is nuts!

[@j444ke]

Awesome 👍

@@tankslapmoto9999 Look forward to your videos 👍 im getting mine out tomorrow after a long winter, 👊🏻✊🏻

[@kluthage421]

Need to get you a tail tidy for that cluttered rear :)

[@tankslapmoto9999]

Yeah it does need tending to😃

[@nathanskevington]

I'm sure I've seen your bike up for sale, will miss the mt09 vids😪

[@tankslapmoto9999]

Indeed, she sold in a day😔 I would have liked to have kept it but my biking journey must continue... Hopefully have a new ride in the next couple of weeks. Just need to decide what to buy, im leaning towards 4 cylinders but should they be in a V or should they have a supercharger.

[@nathanskevington]

I've got a gen 1 mt09 the engines so good, thinking of upgrading the brakes like you did, done most other things.

[@LennyFence]

Is that nut on your forkclamp an aftermarked one? The 2022 model has a chrome finish one and I hate it :D So I was just wondering if you replaced that

[@tankslapmoto9999]

Hi yes, it's the Gilles one from the official Yamaha accessories catalogue. I wasn't a fan of the original chrome one, thought it looked a bit 1970's

[@LennyFence]

@@tankslapmoto9999 great thanks so much for the information!

[@dg8062]

Good god.....how can you live with those mirrors?

[@tankslapmoto9999]

Oddly enough they don't bother me, I know they are not the prettiest but I am kind of over the whole bar end mirror thing and I'm enjoying being able to see whats behind (gotta watch out for old Johnny Law). Maybe I will change my mind in time🤣

[@sidelay]

Bought mine in November same model as yours and received a letter today from Yamaha Europe saying there’s a recall for the ECU to be modified because of stalling or limited throttle response.

[@tankslapmoto9999]

I got the same letter today, never had any issues with my bike but the way the world is, with safety and the fear of being sued, they are probably doing a recall out of caution. I spoke to the dealer today, 5 minute job apparently.

[@sidelay]

Mine completely died on me at a junction last week so the letter was good timing for me. Enjoying your videos and the suspension setting you did very helpful many thanks. Enjoy your summer.

[@no2rides115]

Do you ever have any problems with upshifting using quickshifter? Mine is usually smooth but sometimes it upshifts with a jerk from 1st to 2nd gear.

[@tankslapmoto9999]

I never have any problems with it to be honest, best QS I've used. I don't really use the QS between 1st and 2nd that much (just for mechanical sympathy) unless I'm putting the bike under load/in the midrange of the rpm's or above, then I will happily use it from 1st to 2nd. The reason being is that the ratio from 1st to 2nd is the widest in the gearbox, so it is very hard to get a smooth shift unless you are higher in the rpm's. In my experience it is best to avoid qs between 1st and 2nd at low rpm or on a partial throttle, they all prefer being under load/harder acceleration👍

[@no2rides115]

@@tankslapmoto9999 not had any issues in other gears upshifting, it's my first bike with quickshifter just need to get used to it. Using the quickershifter is so much fun for hard accelerations its addictive :D

[@tankslapmoto9999]

Yeah I totally agree, it definitely adds another layer of fun, especially the down blipper.

[@kluthage421]

That can happen if you are lower in the RPM and aren't giving it tons of throttle. The engine doesn't have much momentum. It is a good idea to learn to get smooth manually shifting 1 to 2 and back to 1. I like the smaller jerks. Makes the machine feel mechanical and not smooth and boring.

[@ulrik36]

Whats your lift/TCS/slide settings?

[@tankslapmoto9999]

Lif(off) TCS1 SCS1 throttle map 2👍

[@ulrik36]

Would it flip when you wheelie?

[@tankslapmoto9999]

Yeah, with Lif off it will 100% flip. With it on it will never flip

[@ulrik36]

Okei thnx, i need to learn before turning off the lif.

[@vancuy]

Did you have to change the rear shock spring?

[@tankslapmoto9999]

No changes to the rear shock, the standard spring rate was in range for my weight👍

[@boabmccubbin4944]

Are u pulling those off the throttle or u popping the clutch?

[@tankslapmoto9999]

The one in the opening sequence was using the clutch👍

[@StylenFlow1]

Turn off traction control all together its easy to do
