Every video review i see on these, the comments are full of people complaining about the looks. I think it looks great. And the engine is a gem.

[@vcyclenut]

I think it’s hot!

[@exothermal.sprocket]

I feel the same. Improvements were made. Tank isn't a hunchback anymore, nacelle is lower on the forks like it should have been, the cyclops is gone, never liked that, and the two-piece seat and subframe looks more well thought out. Std cruise prevents me from having to pony up for SP model. Hoping the 2025 XSR900 gets these updates (switchgear, TFT, etc).

[@Honkomedes]

same, i love the looks of the 24.

[@JustinDavis89]

@@vcyclenuttrading my 14 FZ 09 in for a 24 in blue. Didn’t really want the blue until I saw your video. Now I’m so damn excited. Going from a 14 to a 24 is going to be one hell of a treat.

[@vcyclenut]

@@JustinDavis89 oh wow! Congratulations ! Thats is going to be a good day! When do you get it?

[@JustinDavis89]

I’m picking up mine Tuesday and all they had is blue. So that’s what I’m getting. Damn it looks nice! Can’t wait for mine. Just sent my FZ09’s ecu like 6 months ago😊. Trading her in. This video now got me extra hyped.

[@rosstinelli]

For the money id still get the 3rd gen Sp model. Such a great bike

[@Motoxlight]

Waiting onnmy SP still. Hopefully you'll have some extra fun tunes :) still debating on exhaust. Can't wait too see more content on this

[@vcyclenut]

Coming soon!

[@kluthage421]

Good to hear the base model is better. 21-23 SP is still fire though.

[@vcyclenut]

I wish I could have waited a couple more weeks to get the sp but I had to move forward with getting a 24

[@Yamaha1933]

Gen 4 looks like a mink r1 face with the styling im going to give a light tint to the middle light. After that itll be just what ive wanted. I always wondered why they couldnt do an r1 styled front i guess they finally figured something out that has that style. Yamaha did great

[@vcyclenut]

Yea I like it a lot!

[@davmanlop333]

I prefer the gen 3 still.

[@vcyclenut]

Because ?

[@ryansrides9230]

If I decide to get rid of my zx4 the MT09 would definitely be a strong contender for a replacement

[@yamasloth]

why not both? sincerely, zx4rr and xsr900 owner 😍

[@rustcohle6248]

Will flashing the ecu help diminish the buzz in the bars above 5k rpms? I'm currently looking to buy a new bike and have the MT-09 and MT-10 at the top of the list. I've never ridden an mt-09 but have ridden the 10 in the past and found it to be very smooth compared to other bikes I've owned.

[@vcyclenut]

Yes my flash will reduce the buzz. I’ll have the stock bike flash results soon and I’ll make sure to check and comment on that.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Can buzzy engine vibes be tuned out / cleaned up to some extent with the aftermarket fixings? Not a fan of numb or tingling hands or feet after a longer higher speed ride. I had a 2011 FZ1 back in the day which significantly lost vibration after a full exhaust and ECU flash.

[@vcyclenut]

Yes. My flash substantially improves the vibrations. When motors are on the lean side they are buzzy and harsh feeling By cleaning up the fueling it smooths it out. Another reason I do so much street tuning when creating my flashes.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

@@vcyclenut Excellent! I figured vibrations can be from one of two things: mechanical, or chemical (combustion). I can't feature Yamaha sitting there saying, well, we designed the crankshaft, pistons, rings, balance shafts pretty well, but they sure do vibrate, but pooey! it's good enough! sell it!

[@sural89]

sadly it's a bit down on power compair to my gen 3 otherwise i would already have done the swap didn't notice any (annoying) buzz during my test ride

[@test-ob7rq]

really??

[@sural89]

@@test-ob7rq smaller airbox down by 5hp on the dyno

[@shawnlister2730]

Can you flash 2024's on throttle auto-blip downshift function into the 21~23 bikes?

[@vcyclenut]

No

[@robmoss2257]

Is the seat feels lower or higher than the gen3? Thanks

[@vcyclenut]

I don’t notice a difference

[@quanwick4516]

Will you come out with the GP shift for these?

[@vcyclenut]

I’m hoping woodcraft makes the same piece for the 24. With as many as I’ve sold I would be shocked if they didn’t

[@yamasloth]

How's the steering lock? My two biggest complaints about my gen 2 XSR900 continue to be the turn lock and that bullshit jog wheel, glad to see Yamaha has seen the light on the latter.

[@vcyclenut]

Do you mean the bars don’t turn far enough? Thats the same

[@yamasloth]

@@vcyclenut yes sir. 😑

[@jimbob5bellies]

I've read in a few places there is an extra 4 degrees each side. "Combined with the new fuel tank design, which sits 30mm lower than the previous model, riding position is more dedicated, and handlebar steering angle is 4 degrees greater on each side for a tighter turning radius and improved low-speed manoeuvrability."

[@vcyclenut]

Hmm interesting. I didnt notice that but I have a 22 xsr900 here I’ll compare the 2

[@exothermal.sprocket]

I bet the lower tank height has allowed more bar clearance.

[@nicolamrchiol]

us bikes have only 1 o2 sensor, european have 2

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Does the 2024 model have an AIS system? I see on your website that the 21-23 does not.

[@vcyclenut]

no, it does not either

[@exothermal.sprocket]

@@vcyclenut Well cool. One less contraption clogging up the works. They must have figured out how to get the cat working well enough without oxygen injection.

[@bilal_5569]

I am glade I got 23 SP after seeing 24

[@ericgijsbertsen46]

Why? 24 is better and looks better.

[@Yamaha1933]

That's funny I have a 2016 07 and with each gen of 07 and 09 I was disappointed in the looks and I'd say gen 3 was the ugliest I was about to give up and buy an xsr then I heard gen 4 came out. Finally no alien/bug face

[@Antmanmoto]

I swear, if you hear one review, you heard them all… You guys sound like a broken record with not enough weight over the front end… That is nonsense. The 23 rails turns like a magic carpet. I think everybody’s crazy saying this over and over about the MT. I’d hate to see you guys try and ride a multi strata or even a super Moto for that fact!!! But I’m glad you now have some weight over the bars lol

[@vcyclenut]

I have a Hypermotard and very much enjoy riding it hard. It’s doesn’t have the same numb front end feeling I felt like on the 21-23. I’m happy that you enjoy your 22. I won’t discount how you feel about it. I just don’t feel the same way.
