Triple treat! Why the 2024 Yamaha MT-09 is one of the best sporty nakeds on sale | MCN Review

[@marcusgeorge1825]

Great review. Thank you. I’m looking forward to test riding one.

[@ruffleschips9055]

Very good review. You were ready with all your facts. Thanks for not using annoying music.

[@Craig_4G63]

2021 model also has an up and down quickshifter from the factory. The '24 model just gets the next gen software so it works off throttle up and on throttle down.

[@tevehaku]

Ok now I want one. 😊 Great review Carl!

[@Thebertrus]

The engine puts it right in that sweet spot where you get to punch through the gears , really keeping you involved, rather than hitting lose your licence speeds in 2nd like you can on a super naked...and it screams like a banshee when you give it handful

[@BodybuildingSteve]

I wouldn't say it's far off from overkill, anybike with this hp and weight it's absoutley rapid as hell and very easy to lose license on lol, after riding a mt07 and tiger 66p I would say they have the perfect amount of hp for the road, anything over that is just overkill unless your touring with alot of extra weight

[@blakelarsen2884]

New '24 MT-09 video to fuel my excitement. Thank you!

[@allwheeldrive]

Seems a fantastically well-rounded bike, now! In the competitive company, it's now kind of no-brainer. Yamaha's reliability can't be matched by any of the European brands. I'd MUCH rather spend time riding than socializing with my dealer/mechanic/or by myself in the garage all damn night! That's real-world ownership-experience value.

[@nicksokolis6343]

I do prefer this and I am looking to buy an SP. But other than the KTM there are no reliability issues with Triumph and Ducati that should put anyone off.

[@Samenotter]

But what is when your mechanic is hot ? 😂

[@marksimpson5218]

@@nicksokolis6343The price of servicing will soon put them off.

[@GaryJohnWalker1]

Nearly got an mt09 in 2013 - early pre ABS - and the only thing that stopped me was the poor p/e the dealer offered. I brooded and got something bigger and faster instead,; nice, but maybe the mt09 would've been ridden more. This new mt09 is probably all the bike I need. An sp would be wasted. Mmmm.

[@astifcaulkinyeras]

FYI the previous gen also came with a quickshifter and auto blipper on the standard model.

[@mikeskidmore6754]

Nonetheless, the fundamental parts and tools required to service the MT-09 haven’t changed since launch, so this maintenance schedule is for the FZ-09 and MT-09 from 2015-2020. In 2021, a new MT-09 and MT-09 SP were released with an updated 890cc CP3 engine.

[@boywonderrr71]

The new master cylinder helps with braking too.

[@FastRu-kl7iy]

Excellent review 😊

[@donaldduck9424]

I rode a 2023 recently. It was more to do a friend a favor (he wanted to hear something like "hey what a gem of a bike") , I did not expect too much. But even the "old" modell is so much fun. I knew the gen 1 one and the chassis was not exactly brlliant, to be graciouse But the new 890 cc engine is brilliant. And you can ride it far more hard than the privious modells . I guess i will sell my Street Triple RS for it, cause i'm not a track rider, and at the end of the day it's a cheap ,reliable, fun to ride Package.

[@bfarm44]

[@sereneturmoil]

I was all set on a new Street Triple 765 RS next year - an upgrade and treat to myself after what will be six years and probably 65,000 km on my KTM Duke 390 - but the 2024 MT-09, specifically the SP, has grabbed my attention. I would love to see a group test with those two bikes despite the capacity difference - pricing is very similar in Canada after add-ons - to help with the decision. Also, great video and breakdown of the new MT-09. Thank you for the detailed overview and introduction to what will obviously be a smash hit for Yamaha.

[@Boterberg]

There was a MT09 with a windscreen and sidebags. Do you happen to know the brand? Thanks!

[@joaosoares3719]

Carl, has the ABS intervention improved, or does it still kick in way too early? The previous gen's system was too conservative, both in base and SP-form...

[@chriswest2290]

[@vfrexup]

Yamaha has hit the ball out of the park, with this one !

[@ServoSambo]

Still looks like a lotta weight over the rear wheel but great to hear front end feel has improved. Hopefully front brake feel better too.

[@otlndsh]

Hey, quick question ----- Why is the 990 so expensive?

[@petedetraglia4776]

IF the KTM Super Duke 1390 had a baby it would be the KTM 990... The 990 is a work of art and has all the same features as the 1390 except the motor ofcourse...990 is an awesome streetable bike where the 1390 can get you hurt quickly if you don't have the skills to ride it. If i had the kind of money needed to buy the 990, It would absolutely be my next bike. I already own two other naked bikes the 2017 Yamaha FZ-09 and a 2005 Kawasaki ZRX1200R. Both were bought new from the dealerships...The Aprilia Tuono 1000cc naked I would also buy in a heartbeat...It's another awesome flagship naked bike...

[@peterruff9845]

How is the low down fuelling?

[@Ukmongoose3]

Very good question. Answer this please as a jerky throttle ruins a bike.

Yamaha MT-09 and MT-09SP (890cc, 2021+) Maintenance Schedule and Service Intervals dana maintenance schedules profile image By Dana Hooshmand January 19, 2023 Updated on April 8, 2023 This is the maintenance schedule and associated service intervals for the 2022+ Yamaha MT-09 and MT-09 SP with the upgraded 890cc engine, released and made available in 2021. The 2021/2022 model’s 890cc inline triple is an upgrade over the 847cc triple in the original Yamaha MT-09 (which was originally released as an FZ-09, but which has always been the same bike) and XSR900, which shares the same base platform in a more “modern classic” design aesthetic. The new 2021/2022 MT-09 and MT-09 SP have a host of improvements over the outgoing models with the 847cc CP3 engine. But the star of the show is the engine, an 890cc liquid-cooled 12-valve inline triple that makes a claimed 87.5 kW (117.4 hp) at 10,000 rpm, with a generally fatter torque curve.

[@thinkdunson]

[@motorcyclenewsdotcom]

Thanks for watching!

[@PhrozenPhlanges]

Why would you downshift while opening the throttle though? Vice versa why would you upshift and not be getting on the throttle.

[@chipwood67]

Let's be fair Gen 3 you could dial the suspension in to suite the rider.. Gen 1 I agree But still improved dialing it in slightly Gen 4 suits track day's more Gen 3 day out riding.. I've seen minimal if not any bad reviews on Gen 3 the looks that personal.. At the end off the day it's the cp3 we are buying the mt09 for.. Over 50 Gen 3 I think would suit.. Young guy track days go for it.. Any mt best bikes I've ever owned..

[@gxtoast2221]

Try putting your butt on the rear seat and stretching out into a race tuck. The MT-09 has one continuously moulded seat which lets you slide back and forth between an upright commute position and an aggressive lean across the tank. Go for it!
