2021 YAMAHA MT09SP: ONE YEAR REVIEW!!

[@lynnlittle8671]

I ought my Raven Black 2021 standard MT-09 August 30, last year. I've adjusted the suspension, tire air pressures, installed a few mods, love this bike! This is truly the most fun bike bike ever ridden, and I started riding back in 1968.

[@bernardo290499111]

Would you please share what were the suspension adjustments? I own one and love it too, I really think for city riding and back roads it doesnt get much better than this unless you're willing to go Valentino Rossi mode on highways, canyons and track.

[@mweeks2000]

The feeling you get carving on a naked bike is like no other. I loved my XSR900.

[@YantoSP]

Yea agreed! This handles better than my old R6. I'll likely never go back to supersports. lol

[@brub5174]

@@YantoSP i'm selling my R6 for this 😅

[@YantoSP]

You won't regret it! IMHO

[@brub5174]

@@YantoSP I'll miss the Trackdays for sure, but this looks fun as hell with an other (a bit louder than stock) exhaust

[@YantoSP]

You can still track with the MT09 SP. It's a very capable bike on the track

[@walterjohnson2031]

I have 2022 standard MT09 and it is a very good motorcycle. I would not change the stock exhaust system as it gets plenty loud after a few thousand miles. It also is tucked up out of harm’s way. I see many change out the excellent stock mirrors for various other types. Being cool is great but is always trumped by functionality and safety the stock mirrors offer in spades. I did side stand, the tail elimination thing, grab handles and slightly larger touring windshield. I also installed sliders, spools etc to protect the bike should I get stupid.

[@YantoSP]

Nice! And everyone has their own taste on how to mod the bike. Im here for all of it. It's cool to see people's creativity and passion displayed on their bikes.

[@gigihanmandarin]

you have quite a neat motovlogging setup, clear audio and video. Do you have a video breaking down your setup?

[@YantoSP]

No, I don't, really. But I use a very simple setup: Hero10 for video + gopro media mod + purple panda mic.

[@gigihanmandarin]

@@YantoSP might be interesting to make a video showing your setup. The algorithm loves gear videos. I would watch it too.

[@YantoSP]

Yep. Will do.

[@douggooch5381]

Great video you have made, very informative. What is the make of the screen you have fitted ?

[@YantoSP]

Thx and the windscreen is an Amazon one. Been holding up well for what it is.

[@supertony4708]

Did you experience the ECU or TPS problem that they were all talking about? It’s weird that some have and some dont.

[@YantoSP]

I was super lucky to have never experienced that on my bike.

[@bingbongparis3797]

It si normal that when you turn off your bike tje key red light indicator on the upper left side keep on flashing? Thanks a lot?

[@YantoSP]

I don't recall mine blinking when I turned off the bike. If yours is doing that, might want to check the manual to see what it means.

[@kostasrestas]

I wonder what thinkin the car drivers see you move your hand when talkin! Well i have a T7 and i want to switch to mt09..but i dont know how mt09 does feel on country bad roads like your place..im from Greece and roads here are even worst at country side

[@YantoSP]

Car drivers likely know im talking to myself once they see notice the camera on my helmet. And I think the T7 is a pretty cool bike in itself. Why do you want to switch to MT09? Unless you just want more of a street bike. Our roads here are generally not terrible. Just depends on which part of the city you go too.

[@buuuuck1]

Great video! Did that windscreen make a noticeable difference in terms of wind off your chest?

[@YantoSP]

Thx for watching! And that windscreen is mostly to try and clean up the look a bit. It helps a tiny bit only.

[@SirMountainpass]

Brillant recap of your first year riding the 2021 SP😃🏁🏁👍

[@YantoSP]

Thx for the view and comment! I really do love this thing so much!

[@billbunch6762]

{Incoming noob question} Had a 150 cc SCOOTA, lol for awhile, took MSF course. Would MT 09 sp be possible to start.. tamable, riding in low modes for several months, etc. I intend on highway riding and disappearing into the mountains when I'm comfortable 3-4 hours away. Peace !

[@YantoSP]

Short answer, any bike can be tamed. It's all about self-control as the rider. But perhaps mt07 for a bit, then get the 09 when you're feeling better about the amount of torque these machines have. Hope that helps.

[@fat0v]

I have tried this bike last week! Oh boy my life has changed forever 😂 i def wanna get mt 09 one day! I have never had so much fun on a bike!

[@YantoSP]

Lol. Nice! And can confirm, this bike is fantastic!

[@fat0v]

We actually got it yesterday with my father lol is our 6th bike now 😂

[@YantoSP]

@@fat0v congrats!

[@fat0v]

So happy unbelievable!!!! Best bike in the world )))) ty ty

[@YantoSP]

@@fat0v I love that energy! And it is a pretty fantastic bike, IMO

[@Jtwizzle]

No exhaust yet? Also did the SP suspension take a lot of tinkering to get it setup for you?

[@YantoSP]

Stock exhaust and suspension setup still

[@Jtwizzle]

@@YantoSP Gotcha. Did the SP adjustable suspension take a much to get dialed in for you?

[@YantoSP]

@@Jtwizzle I have not dialed in the suspension for me yet. I'm not good at suspension, so I have not touched it yet

[@Itzp4tt]

How's that asv levers for short hand is it does sit further or not from your fingers

[@YantoSP]

for me, it sits perfectly. I didn't have to do any adjustments after install.

[@dillingerjackson39]

Do your ASV levers work with cruise control? If so which levers did you get?

[@YantoSP]

Yes. I have their F3 series levers. And I don't think the levers have anything to do with the functionality of cruise control. Unless I'm not understanding what you're asking.

[@dillingerjackson39]

@@YantoSP I’m not sure what they have to do with them either, but I emailed ASV about the C5’s because they did not pop up when I put in the bike model etc, they told me they do not function with cruise control so idk man 😂😂 guess I’m getting F3’s

[@YantoSP]

Yea, that's totally weird. F3 series has been working fine on mines and still looks great, so I can't complain.

[@mn_mt0964]

​@@dillingerjackson39 I have c5 levers on my 2022 sp they work and don't do anything to the cruise control

[@adamschannel8685]

Does the windscreen do anything?

[@YantoSP]

It helps a small amount.

[@davmanlop333]

You wrong it's a new motor from 2021. It's a 890cc and not a 847cc.

[@YantoSP]

Yes, I know. I just didn't correct it in post work. But thanks for pointing it out though. I appreciate ya stopping in to watch and comment.

[@maxson2550]

What windscreen is that?

[@YantoSP]

It is an Amazon brand. I think you might can still find it there if you're looking for one.

[@dgibbs765]

What mirrors are those?

[@YantoSP]

CRG Hindsight Lanesplitters

[@dgibbs765]

@@YantoSP thanks! Can you use the stock bar ends with them?

[@YantoSP]

@Dustin Gibbs no. I had to get the CRG adapters and shave them down to fit correctly. But this was when the SP first came out. They might have direct replacements now.

[@treyvonjobin6164]

its not the same engine as the 1st and second gen. It's a new 889 cc moter so a little bigger

[@YantoSP]

Correct. I was saying that in generalities, it was still the CP3 platform and wasn't like the R1 motor or something.

[@krissaros3558]

You could have easily used the cruise control while doing this review btw😆

[@YantoSP]

Lol. No doubt. NGL, I be riding around in cruise a whole ton.

@@YantoSP for what it's worth I gave it a LIKE at 7:08 AM, but then I had to take care of the kid and the dog, then gear up to ride in potential rain into Atlanta... I rarely comment from my phone! lol

[@andyyougoonie]

Sounds like someone can't concede graciously lol lol - First this Time but not the last

[@oederdekoe]

Im so doubting to buy one of these but I think they are soooo ugly... You have one of the best windscreens ive seen so far. Makes it much better. But the way the cables are routed and the big hole between engine and frame is really f*cked up. Also the little holes were the bolts in the frame are bother me xD (u can buy plastic covers for it) Used to have a Yamaha FZ8 2011 and loved it.

[@YantoSP]

The looks is not for everyone, that's for sure. But it has obviously grown on me. I really love it now.

[@1kou_fisherman]

Dang, you put 12k miles in a year? That is a lot. lol

Lol. I love riding this bike! Can't get enough
