So glad you made this video. I just bought a 2022 Tracer 9GT and knew that thing had to be restricted. I too put the Akropovic exhaust on yesterday. As soon as air filters are available I will be sending you my ECU.

[@ztakguod]

You did my 2016 FJ-09 over the summer. Really love that 3 cylinder sound. There are just a few pops left in the muffler which makes it sound pretty cool. I probably got the same 8 or so HP improvement that this bike got, but the smoother ride it totally worth it.

[@BlaineyBiker]

Fantastic video - I got my 2021 MT09sp tuned in April after fitting the akrapovič exhaust & DNA air filter. Same engine as this Tracer 9 GT. Mine was doing 103hp at the rear wheel before, and doing 116hp after, and went from 77Nm of torque to 91Nm at the rear wheel. All settings were unrestricted (but throttle was left to reduce back to 80% in engine D-Mode 4).

[@briancooney9952]

The factory exhaust is one of the best features of the bike. doesn't have this big stupid can hanging off the side, like other bikes.

[@markodorfy4376]

It's but ugly the stock exhaust had to go for mine

[@blengravers]

I like the bottom exhaust, looks cleaner.

[@Doncan0823]

These motorcycles are not about horsepower but torque. And that torque band is absolutely flat and healthy all across the line.

I like the sound so much I bought a BRAND NEW 2021 MT09SP. and also put the Akrapovic exhaust on it. One of the best of all time sounding street engines out there. LOVE IT!!

I got my hands on a 2018 tracer 900 and it's my favorite bike yet. Decent power, great fuel mileage, unmodified though.

[@dg8062]

Akra doesn't look too bad on the Tracer, looks like 💩 on the mt09, sticks out way too far and slip-on too long on the naked mt. There are several others I like for mt. I would put a yosh on my new gen mt09 but they are taking FOREVER to get it produced! Arrow makes a couple of nice systems although they still aren't short and tucked in like new Yosh AT2 for new mt. We have a couple great tuners up here in the Seattle area, all the good systems make within like 1hp of each other.

[@ar2043]

Hard to say, but when I was researching my MT09, I was always told that it was electronically limited to 135 with the stock tune. I think Chris said 150 something miles per hour with the stock tune. Not true. Electronically limited to 135

[@jclement7361]

Nice!!! Just got my Tracer and need to do the same thing

[@dilly2023]

I love the sound of it after getting rid of the oem exhaust

[@morley3810]

Interesting! Zack Courts (Revzilla) just tested an XSR900 a couple days ago which is basically a mechanical twin to this. He commented on the throttle response in the lower gears and that you can feel that it's quite restricted. Guess his butt dyno is spot on! I even commented on that video that the bike needed to go to mooremafia!

[@jeffh278]

I saw that. I gave you a like

[@beninthetrails]

I have a 2024 tracer 9gt plus Put the same Akropovic exhaust on it. Sounds fantastic and it's not that loud. Listen to music in my helmet all the time. I am looking into some tuning though because you can really feel the throttle restriction for me especially in second gear. My 18 mot09 hit way harder off the bottom. But I love this bike!!!

[@luvmyguzzi]

Super fun video. Thinking about getting this but really didnt like the look of the exhaust. Love what you did. Who can do this for me in Vancouver Canada? BTW - does the code reader you speak about, work on other bikes like my motoguzzi. Have had this notation in my display that I cant get rid of. Thanks

Hi Chris, Your KZbin vids are mint, is there any chance You could do a remap/flash on an Aprilia RS660 please?

[@danielfalin]

hello Moore Mafia team, really like what you are doing, thanks a ton for sharing this info. Quick question about this exact bike and exhaust, I see it does not run terribly lean with no tune, would you say is is safe to ride it with this exact akra exhaust and no tune? I am in EU and here there is no place to make this tune. Thanks a lot!

[@twowheeledtaz]

Thanks for the content. About to do a full exhaust and ECU flash on my 9 GT. Also, you’ve taught me a new word: theory-etical! 😂

[@mathias6423]

Did you go through with it ? If so what results did you get ? What model year are you running ?

[@twowheeledtaz]

@@mathias6423 I did. 2021 Tracer 9 GT. Yoshimura exhaust was too loud until I purchased and installed their sound insert (dB reducer). Had the ECU flashed by a more local company in the PNW. I absolute HATE the disabling of the closed-throttle fuel cut. In D-mode 1, it’s downright unnerving trying to set up for corners. I may try to send it back to have them re-enable it, it’s so bad. I couldn’t recommend it to anyone. Overall, the bike lost a little weight, and has improved throttle response and sound. And in D-mode 2, even the disabled fuel cutoff is almost livable, though I could do without all the pops and burbles. (What do they think this is, a high schooler’s Civic?)

[@mathias6423]

@@twowheeledtaz Haha, damn man. I am sorry to hear it did not work out for you this time. Yeah I have heard both sides of the fence about disabling that fuel cut off when closing the throttle. For some it made the bike more jerky and harder to enjoy for relaxed, everyday riding with a even throttle and for some it made the bike perform better. All in all not everything that they can unlock or disable in the ECU means that it is a positive thing for everyone. I would also like you, not want to disable it. I think it is there and enabled for a good reason. For me I want something louder than the Yoshimura for having fun with friends, hooning around at weekends but then I am putting on a quieter solution for that one huge trip I do once every year.

[@mathias6423]

@@twowheeledtaz You did not change your air filter to a better, bigger one to match your new exhaust ? Would make the bike run better after adding it to a map in the ECU with the full exhaust. You have not tested the bike on a Dyno to see where it stands in power ? ¨ Look up Yamaha Tracer 900 Stage 3 or Stage 2 on google and you will find the real deal mod for air filter

[@Charlie-fc1mh]

I think I heard it pop a couple of times. Looks like you got it dialed as usual. I'm thinking about getting a 2024 tracer gt9 plus. I'm just wondering when you do the flash and exhaust, does the bike get better fuel mileage.

Do the ecu flashes work on the 2022 xsr900? It's the same engine should be the same ecu but I can't say.

[@jeremybly]

Love to see the top speed on all these bike. Settled tons of debates.

[@maxon18s]

Interesting. I find it very useless being that there are so many variables bike to bike that real world top speed has nothing to do with the theoretical.

[@jeremybly]

@@maxon18s you are absolutely right! What way the direction of the wind is going, if you're fully tucked or not, your weight, ect ect. But that being said every GSX-R 600 bro swears that their bike does 190mph lol. So when the theoretical top speed is only 160mph that will settle the debate. But I also enjoy seeing top possible speed's of all bike's. It's just fun for me.

In 15 years on my Suzuki 1200S, I hit redline less than 1% of my riding time and that seems to be where most of the gains are. I couldn't justify the cost of full new exhaust and tune unless I was on a track every weekend.

[@urbanadventurer5]

I am so here for this one. Me likes!👍🏾

[@QuickShiftMoto1]

FOr the Euro5 compliant (2021-on) Tracer 9 GT and MT-09: Actually the CEL/MIL light WILL eventually go out on it's own after 20 to 80 miles of driving and three to four key cycles! Guaranteed! Stored codes will however remain in the ECM (approx. 10 after a flash tune). Now, it's of course easier to hook up the reader and delete the codes. The same reader Chris sells can be bought on amazon for $15 and the Euro5 dongle for $12. Also, as long as the CEL/MIL light is on you cannot change any drive modes and access the menus.

[@avrc9285]

this was educational, i was guessing/hoping between 115 - 120hp- i probably missed it but was there any aftermarket air filter installed too ? one small disappointment was the torque which i also hoped would gain a bit more..All and all tho if i take the better look and sound and higher hp into account its a win ! they should make a mt10 variant of the tracer imo, who knows maybe in the making already

[@JDuBz815]

If the Suzuki gsx gt sells well, I suspect Yamaha would consider a restyled and retuned R1 with luggage to compete with it and the ninja version. The Tracer is a sport tourer with emphasis on tourer. The ninja and gsx gt have emphasis on sport. The more bikes that are made, the more options there are, but they also share the market with each other. Time will tell.

[@mathias6423]

They will not make a tracer with the 999 Crossplane engine with how that engine performs in it's current state that I am sure of. I owned the MT-10 and that engine is one of the thirstiest bikes ever to be in production. Even noticeable thirstier than the Aprilia Tuono V4. Yamaha has stated officially that they do not know why and what to do about it. Mine used about 1 litre gas per 10 KM so with the 17 litre tank it got I got about 170 KM per tank (about 105 miles) mixed riding. If I rode it hard even less and that was in the MT-10 stock form. That is horrible and friends bikes had similar range. So until Yamaha figures out how to solve things like that, that engine will never be used in a touring bike. It is a shame as the first generation MT-10 is actually a great bike for the money you can find them at used nowadays. I have heard that Yamaha made the new gen 2 engine a little bit less heavy on fuel but from what I have heard and seen it remains a problem. For a weekend ride with your buddies It is less of a noticeable problem but for touring which the tracer is for , no way.

[@MotoVloggedOUT]

Why don’t you show the ecu improvements before the exhaust

[@shadowred1980]

Maybe they are saving the high rev version for the R9, if it ever comes out.

[@dg8062]

Come on now, go easy on Chris. I have a new gen mt09, fun for short jaunts/around town. Goes from 0-120 pretty fast but fades quickly after that.....compared to my buddies mt10 that's putting down 150 to the rear wheel.....lol.

Nothing deeper than the Akra

[@delmilligan4584]

Not a patch on the speed triple sound

[@ANSWERTHECALLOFJESUSCHRIST]

Wordy story: Back in May I was riding by the beach. The son of the owner of the motorcycle shop where I got my '22 Hayabusa that same month was in a restaurant nearby. He recognized my 'Busa when I rode by the restaurant, so he got on his bike to catch up to me. I didn't know he was there, and I didn't even know he rode. He only sold me the 'Busa and was super attentive and nice. I did find he rode when out of the blue I hear this menacing, intimidating, and loud three-cylinder engine aggressively hitting the rev-limiter behind me. Startled me silly. He was riding his '21 MT-09. It had a full Akrapovic titanium system. If you didn't know about those bikes, you'd think that one had at least 200 HP. I truly felt I was riding the slower bike. 😄

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Hahaha! Well, for an 890cc triple, they aren't stupidly powerful but what they do have going for them is a very wide torque curve and very low overall weight. After that exhaust system, his bike weighs 409 pounds. Maybe less if he swapped a lithium battery in. They do make one of the coolest sounds ever. Check out this video: /watch?v=5gsyzbj0SN4

Not just that but how safe they are to ride with the six axis IMU

[@mathias6423]

I have heard and seen people putting different stages of tuning on the MT-09 engine. Like they have MT-09 Stage 3 kits and so on. I wonder what kind of tuning people are making to these bikes besides the usual air filter and full exhaust system with an ECU map. One guy on youtube that has , what he calls it , "Stage 1" on his tracer 900 states in his description that he has something called "Velocity Performance Caps" among other things. I wonder what that could be ? Some kind of bigger and better air filter perhaps ? I wonder what the maximum power is that people have got out of this engine without doing something extremely expensive like adding a turbo kit to the engine. I wonder if numbers between 130-140 horsepower is reachable on this engine without spending 3000€/$ What do you guys think ? I would love to have Yamahas reliability instead of a KTM Super Duke GT that would worry me traveling through Europe. But I would want as much power as possible with the Tracer 900.

[@justmyself1000]

How is the tuning different between this Tracer GT and the MT-09? How is the ride different between the 2 if anyone has ridden both back to back. The SP version of the MT-09 is difficult to find!

The other thing I cant understand is how this model is supposed to be 117hp stock...is that at the crank? If so what would the tuned version be measured the same way? 127ish?

Hi @Moore Mafia I have the same bike and ordered the same generation as the one in the video. I have a question for you, since I don't see you adding a sports filter I guess it hasn't been added. I'm being offered a DNA air filter as well, but I'm getting mixed reviews. Some people say not to put it because it lets more dust particles in, and others say the exact opposite. What do you think, will it improve the engine performance, sound and hold dust particles like the paper filter or will it let in more dust and cause it to damage the engine over time. Thanks in advance!!!

Same same!!! I can understand wanting the exhaust to sound better and look better, but for what a full Akrapovick exhaust system costs, I think money would be better spent on just an air filter and an ECU tune. It seems like by unlocking the ECU, the gains would be almost as close as doing it with a complete exhaust. I’m all about spending money on bling, but that’s just too much. Maybe a cheaper slip on and mid pipe for the looks and sound with the ECU tune would be the way to go.

[@hiddendragon415]

@@ar2043 I prefer shorter aftermarket exhausts, the Akrapovic for the 21" + 09's only seem to be the longer type, so pipe up alongside the wheel which I don't like for cleaning. I am happy enough with my stock 09 SP exhaust but what I don't like is how it discolors so much.

[@MotoVloggedOUT]

When you consider that Yamaha has to meet emissions and noise standards I don’t understand how everybody thinks 4 horsepower makes the stock incredibly restrictive… that’s barely anything! For $1500 simple straight tubing, compared to the complexity engineered into the stock exhaust….this a bit of an exaggeration.
