How To Remove MT09 Air Filter Fuel Tank and ECU

In this video we install the DNA air filter on my 2021 Yamaha MT09.
I also did the ECU flash here locally in Orlando with more details to come so you can do yours too once we work out the kinks and try a few different setups for the absolute best results! Also we go on the road to show you the way it performs and sounds! All footage was shoot in Mexico :)

Genius idea flipping the tank

[@danielbourque8945]

Thanks yamayari ! This has been a great instructional video for me . This is my first riding season and my bike is my therapy . I had 3 spine surgeries and I’ve been stuck in bed for almost 3 years since my accident (in a big rig ) so I can’t do any physical activities; so finally I figured hey ; I can sit for awhile so why don’t I try getting back on a bike . I bought a couple of different bikes and quickly sold them and realized I needed a bike like a tracer 9 gt . So slowly have been putting some mods on and now I need the bike ecu flashed , but there’s zero videos for the 21 tracer 9 ecu or filter removal. So a friend from a forum shared your video with me . By far the best in depth instructions out of any of the videos I could find related to the mt-09 great job on the video , your a natural teacher bro . I’m gonna go start taking my bike apart now . I live in mass and I haven’t found anywhere local to do the ecu so im sending it off to New Jersey I think and while I wait im ordering that same air filter you have in the video . Thanks so much man ! For a first year rider this is huge having these videos to help me through the diy jobs . I’m out of work since my accident so I have limited income . So I try to do these jobs at home . Love Yamaha ! I started out as a kid on a 83 Yamaha mx 100 and now finnally have another Yamaha . im now a subscriber to your channel and I’m gonna follow along and go check out your other videos .

[@bosszola]

3:28 be careful guys, when you losen this front bolt, the tank might drop down and hit the frame. and the bottom of the tank is sharper than I thought is it😢 shoulda put double layers of bubble wrap in between or do some kind of protection before removing the tank...

[@anthonymantovani5781]

I have dna stage 2 also with VCycleNut flash and Mivv. Sounds absolutely insane! I road it around for a few weeks with just the flash and the exhaust as i was waiting for the dna to arrive. It was flashed for the intake and I was told it’s ok to ride w stock filter while I wait. I wasn’t overly impressed at first and David said just wait for the filter and man he wasn’t kidding. Sound and performance was immediately noticeable. When u hear that intake open up above 5500 rpm’s it’s like nothing you’ve heard on a bike before! It’s addicting for sure!

[@yamayari8351]

[@troywinston]

Really helped me. I noticed a bit of a crease or crimp in the fuel line, and hope I turned it the same way, but seeing that, I don’t know. It fired right up, so hopefully not a problem. I got the reflash from Vcyclenut, and went with the BMC filter, race version. It’s much like that DNA you showed. Looks like 60s for temps this week, and I’m looking forward to getting some rides in. 😊

Man that's some NICE Packaging!! The days of 3 K&N's now becomes the $150 Air Filter. I think I'll make my own, or just buy a chinese $30 HI PO filter. The Air Filter is pretty good size even on the stock.. dry filters appear to flow better than the oiled.

[@paul-stefanristea3369]

Thank you! Awesome video! How many miles / kilometers when you changed the filter? The factory one was very clean!

[@ilive4d80s6]

I love that bike. I'm planning to get that bike later in a year or two when I am better in finance and physicality. I'm still a little sore from the previous motorcycle accident that I had, and may need surgery for my arm. One thing's for sure. GAAAAAALEEEE! Just to change the air filter you got to take the whole top part of the bike apart?! That's just freaking crazy! With the Honda that I used to have it was just taking off the seat and there's a little compartment you could just open up and change this filter. Lucky this whole strip down just for an a filter won't deter me away from getting this bike, if I can get it in the future. I'm definitely going to need a new helmet I'm thinking about getting the same helmet that I had that protected my head from the recent accident. I'm definitely getting a jacket too. No more tank tops or shirts for me when riding again because I do not want to suffer road rash again. That was freaking painful. I just hope my shoulder heals up in time I'm going to need MRI because the doctor the bone doctor said I might have a torn rotary cuff. It's like more bad news just right after my bones started sort of healing up. My ribs feel weird ever since it's been broken four of them. It's not painful anymore, but it feels weird sometimes I just can't lean over on them. My clavicle it's got a big knot, but the doctor said it's looking good. It's just my arm I cannot raise it up and every time I bump into something it hurts like crazy like a sharp knife. That's why I need the MRI. One thing's for sure no matter how my arm turns out. I'm going to get the bike that I want.

[@yamayari8351]

Man sorry to hear that. I hope you heal quickly! Definitely a pain to change this filter but honestly not to bad. The R1 is worse! Lol ride safe and thank you for watching the Channel 🙏

[@kcsbk]

if you cut some off from the top air box intake pipe about 2" shorter it will give the MT even more air intake

[@lovejiwoo4762]

Good technician yamayari.

[@yamayari8351]

Thank you 🙏

[@BeardOvBorgia]

You’re the boss, great video! Thinking of getting my ECU flashed this winter also. How about doing the cutting around the 3 snorkle intakes? Apparently it should do something too

[@yamayari8351]

Vcyclenut says it really does not make that big of a difference. But the stage 2 DNA definitely would. So i may do that instead 😎 let’s see. Thank you for watching the channel 🙏

[@BeardOvBorgia]

@@yamayari8351 That makes much more logical sense to me also. I saw some other guys here on YT talking about the “importance” of cutting the snorkles. Stage 2 is the solution. Cheers bro, thanks for your awesome content!

[@tg8150]

So sounds like I should only get the filter if I just want a bit more throttle response. I’m keeping the stock exhaust since it’s well hidden and not in your face like all these aftermarket ones. I also don’t plan to reflash my ecu. My 2022 MT-09 was just built in July, & is smooth as a cucumber. Wish you would’ve shown the tough steps- removing all the tank hoses/vents.

[@yamayari8351]

I didn’t have to remove them. I just reversed the tank around. The vent lines and pump lines were still connected. Thank you for watching the Channel 🙏

Thank you for the great content. With this filter is there any oiling required? Or just washing periodically? TYIA

No. Only when you clean it. Then it must be re-oiled. Thank you 🙏 I appreciate you watching the channel.

[@jacobpippin7225]

Thank you much for the response. One more question when you have a chance. Do you use the DNA brand oil specifically? If so, would you happen to have a link? I think I found it online, but want to make sure I don’t order the wrong thing. Thanks so much, and looking forward to another video.

[@slsumf]

Actually directions tell you to grease anything that the filter touches with the grease they give you, when installing. so I added a little grease to the entire outside cuz it touches the air box

Sorry by any chance are you going to replace the tensioner on your bike? Seen lots of guys do it on the older Mt 09.

Probably later. But for now no. Seems to be ok at the moment.

Do you recommend doing Air Box Mods as well? I have got the AR de-cat exhaust coming in soon, and I was just thinking of replacing the Air Filter and getting custom ECU flash and Dyno tunning done.

I would definitely change the filter and get a tune with Vcyclenut or Moore Mafia.
