The Yamaha MT09 SP is a WEIRD Bike...

[@yammienoob]

Get entered to win this bike! It's a real gem. Go to yammienoob.co A few notes before you crucify me: 1. I realize now that many models include the negative throttle turn to cancel cruise control! I guess I never noticed. 2. I misspoke about the high and low speed compression settings. I meant to say that they are included in each leg of the fork, the outside bolt adjusts one and the inner clicker adjusts the other.

[@logancudd7030]

why is everything an add now

[@NanaRides]

OMG that's the exact model, color bike my son was horribly injured on in February. He was almost killed when someone turned left in front of him. That bike was in pieces, I mean many pieces, the entire frame seemed to disintegrate. Painful to look at. He loved it so much. Now he cannot walk. 😞 If anyone reading this is a believer, please pray for him to regain his ability to walk. I miss my riding buddy.

[@titancodm1098]

I pray that he recovers soon, sorry for you.

[@rns6889]

I hope he recovers well and quickly, sorry to hear that.. Drivers need to be more wary.. Before they injure or even kill someone. I live in Indonesia, here it is a must for cars to be wary of scooters and tiny motorcycles, as they are the terrors of the town. But in the western world, to me it seems everybody driving there is not very aware.

[@luddite6239]

8:04 Sorry, but you've got that the wrong way round. High and low speed damping doesn't refer to the speed of the machine, it does refer to the speed the shock travels through its stroke. If you're doing 90 on a smooth motorway, then low speed damping will be operating, but if you hit a pothole at 30 in town, then the high speed damping circuit will come into play.

The description of high versus low speed compression backwards... The standard meaning for the term "High-Speed compression" refers to the speed of compression of the shaft... Unless Yamaha has decided to do it as you describe for some reason

[@nla27]

The exhaust is perfect. Quiet enough to not disturb my neighbors, but the sound reverberates off the pavement when you wring out the throttle.

[@rcafmaintainer3723]

I agree, I don’t mind the stock sound. Plus, no one is making a low aftermarket exhaust. I’ve heard a few in the neighborhood either Akra exhaust, they do sound good, but can be noisy with the baffles removed.

[@SigmaSheepdog]

​@@rcafmaintainer3723 SC Projecct is making a low exhaust for this bike that looks pretty good but very expensive. It's the STR-1 version.

Buying an MT-09SP later this year when I can find a dealer with it in-stock -- got my first bike, brand new MT07, in late 2021. First time I'd ever been on a bike was MSF that August. 8700 miles now and ready for a little more power on the highway... and it's time to buy a full suit and get out for a track day at Homestead :) Throwing on another Akrapovic exhast, 2WDW tune, tail tidy+TST tail light and DONE!

Unless the fabled R9 does actually come out - this bike with some clothes on has potential to win my heart for a long time.

[@csposir]

Compression “speed” is a reference to rate of suspension compression as result of road imperfections impacting the movements of the wheel, not speed of the motorcycle, sharp bumps in the roads are what are addressed by high speed compression adjustment low speed compression is intended to address wallowing as a result of “wavy” pavement surfaces.

[@GottHoldNicetomeet]

[@rileyallcorn9782]

Can we get an MT09 vs MT10. I think it would be cool to see which is the better all around bike

[@SludgedB]

I’ve owned both (traded my gen 2 -09 on a new -10 recently). The -09 is awesome, and may be a better street bike overall but the -10 is just special. More of everything, absolute beast, top notch quality.

[@PrestoninParadisus]

2023 MT-09 was my first bike. I had it fully modded, sprint filter, intake mod, Yoshimura full exhaust, and ECU flash from Vcyclenut along with plenty of other goodies. Once I tuned the MT-09, totally different bike! Night and day difference in its willingness to wheelie. I have a 2023 MT-10 SP now that I got for $13k brand new. Deal I couldn’t refuse! I love the MT-10 SP! It is such a bad ass bike! The CP4 engine is undeniably one of the best sounding bike engines ever. It wheelies more often and sometimes unexpectedly than the MT-09 did. I have a video of my front end just coming up in second as I was approaching 90mph. The MT-09 is a great bike, but the MT-10 is better imo

[@Taker360CMA6140]

I’m sorry, but did anyone else think that speck in the bottom left was on their actual screen? Because i was trynna rub that sh off 😂

[@photographer-x]

Another thing that Yamaha did well on the MT09 2024 is that they added a edge protector onto the lower side of the tank, preventing people from scratching the tank on the frame (like on the older models), that detail is often missed.

You may have heard this already, but BMW has had the roll of to cancel cruise. You can also lightly squeeze the clutch or lightly tap the rear brake (in addition to the front brake).

[@St.FighterZ]

Funny you bring up the weird frame design. A worker at the dealership near me was saying that they are questioning the build quality of this bike after several crashed 09s basically detonated themselves. Nothing serious, just some lowsides. Maybe they save money but if you lay it down its probably done for.

[@JustinSmith]

The title made me think of you as an enemy Yam. However, you recovered nicely by the end. I have this exact bike and love it to pieces. People always comment on the swing arm and overall look. I've added some legal bar end mirrors, a full akrapovic titanium exhaust system (baffles in) and this thing moves. I may change out the air filter and get a proper tune when finance is finished but honestly, I can't think of much else it needs that I would get use out of (I don't ride on track). I love disappointing drivers that try it on at the lights and realise I'm not even out of gears 1-2 and have gapped them significantly. 😂

This bike looks pretty cool apart from the front. Maybe make some custom fairings and turn it into kind of a sport bike and this would look real good

My ‘15 tiger turns off cruise the same way. Roll the throttle forward and it cancels. It can sometimes be annoying actually.

When you cancel the cruise, there is a significant engine braking, you have to be ready for it. My Tracer 9 GT, really slows down.

Interesting video- I'm by no means a biker, but my son has ordered one due to be delivered in 10 days. US and Euro spec seem different, I know my son's comes with Brembos at the front, and the exhaust is at least painted black. Also vents on top of the fuel tank so the rider can hear the intake "Whoosh" better. Front light is❤ differnt too, rectangular but still small. Not sure if he has cruise control, but he does have a trick clutchless-shift thing... Due to license laws over here his is factory throttled to 35kW for two years, then the kit get legally removed and he gets the full-on experience.

[@mytmousemalibu]

Stock exhaust is pretty weighty. And its definitely choking the HP some. I think the Akrapovic homologated exhaust has 2 muffler cans and probably a DB killer if you wanted a quieter aftermarket exhaust.

You are correct, this bike will absolutely not survive even a low-speed crash. I hit a deer on mine going about 40 miles an hour and the bike split into two pieces at the headstock. The part of the frame that meets the forks is ridiculously weak.

[@Exclusivelibary]

Yammie noob im sorry but you described high speed compression and low speed compression dampning wrong. it refers to the speed of the suspension travel no the travel of the motorcycle. Low speed is for braking or elevation changes where its loading the front, where high speed is for bumps/speedhumps where its more of a hit/jerk/impact
