Installing MX Handlebars On My Yamaha MT-09

[@poorguy915]

Oh man I get it. I get nervous and the fear of screwing up an "upgrade" that'll eventually turns out to be all for nothing. Great job!

[@thepsychicpeach8425]

CC's attention to detail is immaculate. Impressive to say the least.

[@fripszilon]

Measure twice, then measure again, then get ready to cut/drill, then doubt yourself and measure again, then get so fed up that you finally go for it.

[@ParadiseBiker]

0:25 gotta pay keen attention when I'm watching Chaos's videos. Haha, what a surprise to see my name on the screen. The bars look soo much slicker man.. Loving it 💪🏿

[@tooyoungtobeold8756]

You are the one other guy.

[@LegendsGarage]

Hey! I know you from somewhere!

[@sedativeacrobat]

As a 10 year machinist let me give you two tips that will save you from having a tap go in cock eyed and possibly breaking. Get a T handle tap wrench and apply load evenly with both hands. Also for hand tapping for in one or two turn then back out a quarter turn. This will cause the chips to break and ease the progress forward. For stainless steel I recommend going less than .5mm or .010" larger on your recommended drill size this will make tapping far easier

[@davidalejandrogarces2781]

Love the way you dedicate to edit every shot on your videos! Greettings from Colombia 🤟🏼

love the preset "filters" to your videos! So iconic and the attention to details is such an eye pleaser!

[@riturajborah54]

Liked it even before actually watching it..!! Keep the good stuff coming..!

[@AliffFarhanVlog]

the way you present, ur skills in motorcycle is such an inspiration. i really like ur video 🙏🇲🇾

[@TyoVlog]

That looks so sick!!!!! Cool upgrade CC!

[@lorensdivjak6267]

5:48 where did you buy that clock

[@ChaosCauses]

From a KTM dealership

[@SebastianKretzig]

OCD warning, you need to do something about the old mirror sockets... LOL!!!

[@DanteYewToob]

They make cellphone holder mounts and nice threaded plug/caps for them. My sister has both. Her ram mount is attached to one side and the other has a little pink skull threaded into it. Pretty easy and cheap fix! ;D

[@Tweb42]

I would have just bought some push in and tighten with a an expanding mechanism bar ends, threading bars is a pain in the arse! Good job though

[@jbcavitt]

Looks way awesome!! Looking forward to the future upgrades.

[@machielvandertoorn8758]

I did the protaper bars upgrade on my Suzuki sv650 last week. Although mine was more of a task since I came from clip ons and had to upgrade brake lines and reroute my accelerator and clutch cables. I love the ride position now

[@atharvjadhav8521]

Nice job man. Handlebars are looking awesome and the radiator cover is looking dope....Keep it up CC!!!

[@richardjustice1228]

Hey man, what is the name of the measuring tool you used at 7:22 ? Also what size drill bit did you use for the holes?

[@classicsalted]

The bike looks lit af. You have great artistic sense. Clean mean and lookin pro

[@konradsaguide]

I like the stickers, all your mods so far are looking really good

[@spassser]

tip ,,when drilling and tapping.. use regular oil insted of thin wd40..works better,,

[@deebunning8456]

Just get some cutting compound it's not very expensive and is a must have when tapping and drilling 👍

[@eleiaandsteven]

I want a pro taper bar for my R3. You just showed me that there in no way I'm doing it myself. Thank you.

[@unclebuck4329]

Exceptional as always. I really appreciate all the effort you put into your videos. Thank you.

[@Enesjordanparlak]

Your vids are just amazing You deserve at least 1 mill GET HIM TO 100K

[@coxdevj]

You did a good job. I actually like that dark purple but I'm sure a black and white scheme will look great too.

[@morenachoz]

That bike is taking with every treat that even envies many. Keep up the good work you do and look forward to seeing the next video CC. Peace ✌

[@tiberiudumitrescu5237]

That looks awesome. You did a f really nice job

[@jonhewitt3]

I like what your doing to the MT09, gives me some ideas for my bike. You may need to check to see if you need a tail tidy on the seat with the removal of the passenger pegs?

[@jasonleitao4182]

It's coming along really nicely

[@airez13]

CC great content as always, glad to see that you're keeping the channel going even though you left Mzansi. Keep it coming bro

[@anasbinhakim4686]

Was waiting eagerly for your video☺️

[@vladosterreicher]

Nice video as always! Keep up the good work and the engine revving!

[@DeanosRides]

I think you have FAR too much time on your hands! 😂🤣😂🤣 Good job on that new bar man! Looks really good! No go bolt down that vice before you hurt yourself! Again!

[@ankitmartin4104]

Been your Subscriber from 3k ..❤️ Always love the quality of the videos.

[@itsnottheturbo]

What size drill bit did you use?

[@lamemigranano]

Hey man, nice work and nice channel. Which is the size of the drill? Thanks in advance

[@kylleadlawan8041]

Yep, gonna watch this with some popcorns

[@danieldayan6185]

Awesome video, as always. This channel is seriously underrated! For us newbie riders, could you maybe do a video explaining the monthly costs of owning a motorcycle? Keep up the great job man.

[@HuuThanhHung]

Never give up ... and you will be happy with what you have done! Nice bike and nice vid too!!!!

[@Julian-yx4we]

Those black bars look so sick on that bike! Also love that they're a bit lower. I have the feeling that if I started doing any upgrades on my bike I'd discover I was missing something, then not be able to ride it for 4 months because it didn't have X attached to it. XD Great work and looking forward to more videos!

[@almarutn]

Epic mods, lyk baie mooi oom Chaos😉! Love watching your vids, keep up the good work here in Europe and good luck!

[@DeusRides]

Looking good, man! Looking gooood. Cheers.

[@HartyBiker]

So glad you got an mt-09 so I can add more mods to my wishlist. Those stickers on the "intakes" are sexy af. Btw, fix the ugly tail light. Get a integrated one that cleans up the rear, it's so worth it dude.

[@MrRedpik]

Been waiting for this video :D Just received mine today.

[@Tawttitude]

Super cool as always!

[@xantoshadhikari]

Great As Always 💜

[@simemo75]

Looking much better than stock. Great job!👌

[@270125776]

Love your video style man! The color too! What kind of color/ filter is that? Looks so cool, watched till the last second

[@suhasbodavula2893]

Really hard work Keep it up bro.. nice video

[@mattheweastel129]

Very nice looking bar, but strangely the new decals did it for me. Really suits it

[@jamesferdinand2635]

Nicely done, looks great. I put the Henry Reed pro taper bars on my Z 1000 and love the look!

[@jacquesventer7789]

I always get nervous when I attempt a mod for the first time, but it feels really good when it works out.

[@fripszilon]

I thought for sure you were going to take the protaper logo off the bars. Looks great, though!

[@sirjolly81]

I just bought a 2015 mt09 (Orange tank) and love it minus the suspension. It is the worst on any bike I have had over the years. Even my 04 xt660x was better. Anyway the previous owner failed to mention the thread for one paddock bobbin is gone. Filled in with metal putty. Now I need to get that repaired. I can tap a new thread but this looked like the bobbin was snapped out of the swing arm. Need to figure out how to fill the hole. PS. Don't cut holes for the controls. Cut the plastic stubs of so you can move the controls. Use electrical tape on the bar then mount controls on tape to stop them spinning.

[@villiamstangeland3608]

Did you find a good way to measure where to drill the new wholes in the protaper bar?

[@simonegiannini2421]

My MT and yours are surprisingly similar, same Andreani Misano forks, same Öhlins shock (stx46?), same full Akrapovic, same colour, same windshield...when you showed it for the first time I actually checked if mine was still in my garage :P Jokes apart, purple doesn't get me either, I'm planning to paint it with the new mt09 SP graphics (black-blue-silver)

[@Jaden-up3bg]

TapMagic helps sooo much with the bars

[@adwaithar8680]

I am watching your video when you are 50k and you are going to hit 100k.l wish you will hit 100k soon.#roadto100k

[@diarmando91]

can you share the mirror trick i have bar end on my bike too but if i tighten it to much the throttle gets stuck!

[@thomaswilliamson5178]

Do you have a link to where to get the music for your videos? Absolutely loving it!

[@adwaithar8680]

Really cool man

[@f.w.1890]

Thank you! I've been inspired by your video to buy a handlebar for my own bike :) MT-07 2018

[@moto_marcel]

Very good lookin now! Love the black !

[@prashantkhadka8418]

You videos really are awesome man .!

[@johanpitka6389]

Where did you buy the decals? It is not listed in the description.

[@jesparon]

Should of used a Starter tapered tap. You used an Bottoming tap. Magnetic V block would be better to hold round bar stock in a vice. And a Tapping handle would help instead of a spanner

[@chrispewkreme]

I ran ProTapers on both my old MTs. Only real issue is that it isn’t comfortable. It just sat too low. For stunting it was fine. But for commuting it was too low and uncomfortable.

[@phant0]

I remember back when I tapped my first thread. It felt like I had gained magical powers.

[@Niemandeiner]

i love it! where do you get all the parts? especially things like side covers for the adiator. never seen things like that

[@venkatversiline]

Why don't to attach a cover for the radiator

[@Jonathan-mk8rq]

Nice bike for a nice upgrade So cool Man!

[@tooyoungtobeold8756]

Nice job. I would have all the doubts you had too. But at what cost the bars, tap etc?

[@shahfacekillah]

Yeah the new bar looks way better

[@DougZ73]

I know from watching your more current vids, you do not have this bike any longer. With that said, although I run Protapers on my dirtbike, I thought about them for my FZ09 (2017), but I did not want to use them because of the bright white and yellow logo, specifically the yellow. My 2017 has black forks, so I am doing my best to keep my bike almost all back and white.

[@808Affliction]

I don’t mind the stock handle bars. But good job prepping and installing the bars.

[@dagsamp22]

A battery drill with low RPMs and some old motor oil would turn that tap job into a 2 minute process. Great video!

[@lukenshee6998]

0 dislikes, keep it up. Nice vid BTW

[@CChris08]

Great video. Very informative. Thanks!

[@thepsychicpeach8425]

Ahh yes my time has come.

[@fins6561]

Honestly I thought it was just you looking for things to make the background more interesting 😂

[@submissions72]

can you share with me the link for your mirrors and the bar ends?

[@asnawi159]

You can consider putting the Protaper var on the bike for more stability

[@FinnyG47]

That's what I thought, too. Temp mount the bars to cut ends and drill. Cover bike with towels to protect from shavings. Also, pipe cutter instead of saw for more precise cuts.

[@Enesjordanparlak]

1:14 look at the mirror 😂

[@zackiaryruddick701]

Did you bend the cluçh cable end ?

[@siena547]

Hi Chaos mate I bought a GEN1 MT-09 with aftermarket handlebars fitted very poorly…. They didn’t drill the holes needed to lock the controls in place so everything is misaligned and loose….. I saw you take measurement from your standard bars… can you tell me the distance and placement Of the 3 holes I need to drill mate ?

[@narrator-timothymckean]

I did the same upgrade on my Honda NC. The drilling was awful, and found i didn't end up with enough space for all the switch gear, and never got the bar ends to work. Ended up switching it all back after about 6 months. What a waste.

[@motordemic]

"They grow up so fast" 🤣🤣nice work once again mate🙌🙌 How you settling into the UK?

[@AhmadRaza-wk2qb]

awesome job man!

[@Knautschfriese]

Thats a good look for the bike. I like it. Iam exited to see the purple. This is one of my favorite colours :-) My plan is to buy a SV650 and tinker on it with the styling to make a SV650x blue ;-)

[@roehitkadam]

you should consider changing the headlights to the new ones. That'll make your MT-09 completely like the newer ones !

[@jctv-sq4qd]

Where did you get the mt09 logo stickers qt

[@adibyasin5495]

I may have missed something, where’s your R1? Great content and editing mate! 👍🏼

[@nobis64]

It would have been nice to see before and after videos of bar differences. And differences with person on bike with old handlebars and new ones. Otherwise good detailed install video.

[@Italianborn]

I guess if you know you have to cut it, and drill it..i would stick into the vise grip the side i have to work on as much as i can, the less length you live out the less effort it will require you to work on, for the drill i usually live a small cup of oil out for me to dip it from time to time, small detail that help you on the overall process but nonetheless thank you for the video..never done this mod and didn’t know the process behind it..

[@Dom34007]

1:56 and 7:02 What is the background is music?

[@koyajayar5992]

Will you do it also to your sports bike for more comfortable riding? But not as much as wide that one 😂

[@irawanxx3113]

Wow, that was really cool

[@MrPilgrim609]

Love the bars. Might have to get some myself....and I drill and tap steel all day long so that ain’t no biggie. Got a 500 gram tub of tapping grease on my work bench. Makes it a piece of piss👍🏻

[@akshaybagde6325]

0:17 ohhh crap. We have to watch your videos like Canadian Lad now.(as he does with MCU)

[@kainetyrie5355]

4:35 ooo popped to your local B&Q I see :)

[@MrVtec786]

How did you change your Fahrenheit to Celsius on your Yamaha R1 2014?
