2021 Yamaha MT09 EvoTech radiator cover Install.

[@pauls3696]

Thankyou just orderd one many thanks for showing me how to fit it 😊

[@chipwood67]

Hi put mine on today to find all push pin screws are just spinning.. I had to basically snap them off to get them out.. Previous owner taking them off for some reason.. Must have just pushed them back in like standard push pin ones.. I've actually seen this done watching other install videos.. If job going to be done do it right. Just like your video..

[@yamayari8351]

Thanks for watching the channel and I appreciate the feedback. Glad you were able to figure it out. It was a pain for me for sure. Be safe. Thanks again.

[@dene5737]

Nice mod, I'm gonna do the same on mine.. as soon as I get it. I'd have thought that you replace the side protection as well, those in aluminium from Yamaha look pretty nice in my opinion, better looking than the plastic ones. Cheers.

[@yamayari8351]

Thank you 🙏 it’s a great add on, you will not be disappointed trust me. Ride safe.

[@cherifhaddad2475]

Hi please check the two screws that hold the radiateur on top. Isn't there something wrong with the left screw ?

[@filiplaskovski9993]

Does yours flex a bit in the Center of the rad guard like it’s not sitting completely flush ?? My guard kinda bows inwards slightly and makes little creaking sounds!!

[@yamayari8351]

Pretty flush. I’ll check tomorrow.

[@filiplaskovski9993]

@@yamayari8351 thanks man!! Hard to tell if it’s normal or if it’s a dud part! Mine does sit flush just there’s a slight inward flex like the grommets aren’t touching the radiator fins

[@yamayari8351]

@@filiplaskovski9993 my rubber grommet does not touch either. An if I push it in it bends juuuuuuust a little.

[@No_Remorse416]

do you have a gap between the pads and the radiator or are they resting on it?

[@yamayari8351]

Not sure what you mean?

[@copperswirl4320]

Yari, I don’t know how you got those push/screw pins out. Mine just kept spinning and spinning. I even put a dental pick behind them. I finally ended up destroying them with needle nose pliers to get them out. After that everything was easy.😋 I guess I’ll be ordering some new push/screw pins from Yamaha. What crap! I wish they had a better system. Do you have to take out those push pins to replace the front turn signals?

[@yamayari8351]

Yaaa they are a pain. You have to unscrew them slowly and without pushing it in. It’s like soft hands lol lucky they are cheap. Thank you for watching 🙏

[@erikelies5934]

Great videos!! I’m in central Florida area myself. What Yamaha dealer did you by your bike at? I’ll be purchasing one soon. Thanks!

[@yamayari8351]

Very cool, we need to connect one day. Go see Tristan at Semiole Power Sports! He’s great. An know. A lot about these bikes. Good luck an keep us posted when you do.

[@alexanderbowen3408]

Looks great. Wish I actually saw you put the guard in but nonetheless a great walkthrough. Going to attempt mine in about an hour. Just got It in the mail

Ya, go pro 8 overheated and shut off. My bad :/ thank you for watching anyway 🙏

I still haven't managed to get my radiator shrouds off, those push pins don't wanna undo. I have a radiator guard with the MT logo in the centre of it and it installs the same way the evotech one does but the shop put a Yamaha radiator guard on before I bought it and it mounts at the top and bottom

[@yamayari8351]

You may have to use a tool like the one I have. Apply pressure to the back side of the push pin and reverse it really slow. That’s how I removed one as well. It was not wanting to reverse off.

[@PhrozenPhlanges]

@@yamayari8351 what's the tool you have called. I can get 1 out but the others don't wanna undo

[@yamayari8351]

@@PhrozenPhlanges just look for like a small pick tool at any hardware or tool store, they look like a dental tool. It has to be really small.

[@PhrozenPhlanges]

@@yamayari8351 and do you put downward pressure on the outside ring of the push pin while unscrewing or do you try and get underneath it?

[@yamayari8351]

@@PhrozenPhlanges yes. Get underneath to create a little pressure then unscrew it slowly. Should come out.

[@deesacto]

I mean that’s the key of taking it off those plastic screw you have to go really slow eventually it will lift up and unscrew with no pressure. Once you apply pressure you will strip it. You did say really slow

[@mattpanz609]

Lol they’re hexagons my dude 😂😂 Sweet setup though! TST Industries coming in the clutch with most of these items

[@deesacto]

Man I did stripped one of the plastic push pins any suggestions to fix the problem? The key is just slowly taking it off. I was able to manage to take three of them off without a hassle but the last one I kept turning it applied just slight pressure and stripped it.

[@yamayari8351]

Ya, it is a pain! Luckily you can replace those pretty easily. Dealer or some knock off replacements. I used a pick tool like in the video an wedged it in between the screw and fastener an like you said slowly back it out. Came off no problem. Just frustrating for sure.

[@deesacto]

@@yamayari8351 yes I did that yesterday. It cost me a dollar a piece and ordered extra. Because of your videos I was able to upgrade my MT-09 2021. Keep it up.

[@Arvinis1]

Bro those plastic screws are pain in the back so I finally pulled them out and I’m just gonna use my own fasteners 😂😂😂

[@yamayari8351]

Lol so so true!!!! I was frustrated lol then did the same as you. No issues with standard fasteners. Ride Safe bro!

[@areankim]

any idea the torque for these nuts?

[@yamayari8351]

Not sure. I’m a bro mechanic lol I just remember how hard it was to remove, then apply the same torque by hand on the installation. But I would guess 18-20 inch pounds. But research it if you have doubts.

[@hendrxx_]

Don’t tighten the silver/chrome bolts too tight. Just stripped the head off one with ease.

[@yamayari8351]

💔 thank you for the update. Sorry mine were pretty tight as well.

[@SocalMotoMo]

Welp. I guess I won't be buying the mesh aluminum off Amazon. The fitment looks good. Especially if it comes in black. The picture on their website looks grey. I didn't want to have to paint it. I have over 2k on my bike now. I wonder how many dents & dings I have already 🤔. 🍻

[@yamayari8351]

I will be honest. I was scared because the online pic looks horrible! But after so many people recommended it to me I just pulled the trigger. But the quality is top notch! You will love it.

[@mt09rider72]

The one on amazon that are cheap have been know to break in the radiator from the vibration, on my Facebook group about MT 09, there's a few people who have reported it so I think it's best to get this one! I just received mine in the mail and it looks great.

[@povilaslondon]

this is not how you undo these pins. Push the middle bit in and then entire pin will become loose and you can take it out.

[@yamayari8351]

Ok. I tried that but they look different than the normal push pin fasteners. They actually have a Phillips head screw in the middle. But I’ll try that the next time. Thank you.

[@povilaslondon]

@@yamayari8351 oh if they have screwdriver head than it must be different. I thought they are the push pins
