How To Remove FZ09 MT09 Air Filter Fuel Tank ECU And Install USB Power Port - Here's how to get in to the guts of your bike to do all kinds of routine maintenance. The manual tells you to have the dealer do this stuff and that's just ridiculous! This is a 10 minute job once you know what to do. Put the bike on a rear stand. Remove the seat. Remove the side panels, Put the tank on the rear. Simple! If you want to add a power port there are 1000 ways to do so. I didn't want anything permanent or in-sight since I'll rarely need it, but it's there now when I do. I used this adapter: amzn.to/2qXLmuV

This is so well done. Thank you for taking the time to film the small things so well! You definitely help build confidence before digging into maintenance on newer bikes.

[@longossett6671]

I've used TWO'S vids before (thanks TWO). One tip, if your doing the gas tank balancing act on the FZ/MT for the first time disconnecting the fuel vent hoses is unnecessary. Push them up from the shifter area, they will move up through the ties with no problem with plenty of slack to turn the tank around. Mine must have been super glued on at the nipple this was so much easier.

[@Irish_Biker]

Excellent video. 👍👍👍 Before I seen this video I very reluctant to carry out an air filter change on my MT09SP. Your video is clear, precise and consistent. Well done and thank you for creating this content. Sound one 👍👍👍👍

[@Rubuz]

Got myself a new MT-09 month and a half ago, and I am so happy that I find your channel in recommended section here in YT. Your videos are gonna be so useful in the future.

[@mrkthmn]

Extremely helpful video! Saved my bacon. I will comment on the air filter thing though. I live in a dry dusty desert so while the filter may still last the life of my ownership, it's gonna have to be replaced eventually. I got a K&N filter for $40 and swapped it when I pulled the ECU. I figure worst case scenario I've just done some maintenance a bit early and I'm fine with that.

[@touristtrapezoid]

For routing wires: what I did was actually leave two front screws in the tank but loosen them so that I can use them as a hinge and just tilt the tank forward. Anyway, thank you for making this! I'm installing a USB charger from Cycle Gear and this made the whole job so much easier.

[@TheDiverger]

my local bike shop didn't have the right air filter when they did my 30000km service, now i have to go back to them, and they're telling me it's a two and half hour job to replace the air filter only... now I'm going to do it myself, thanks. your MT-09 looks beautiful btw.

[@utacity]

Love your videos buddy. I did the LED turnsignal swap on my fz09 and the brake pad upgrade....FANTASTIC simple upgrades...brake pads did wonders...i was gonna do steel lines but after pad upgrade i'm SUPER happy and agree with you, no need for steel lines. i'd have to ride one with steel lines and be amazed to even consider it. the pad upgrade was magic. and LUV the LED turn signals...did cheaper flush mounts....cleans up bike and now bike fits thru back garage door since the orange oem PUMPKIN lights are sticking out hitting everything.

[@MrBiscuit69]

Great instructional video.One of the best I've seen. Thanks for putting in the time to be accurate and having great video quality.

[@jonsmith3723]

I really appreciate your efforts. You have a gift for explaining things clearly.

[@archuleta1000]

Your camera angles are better than you expected we are able to see a really good reference of what you’re trying to describe but I really like the attention to detail with not only visual references but also Articulate vocal descriptions with your very nice great video thanks for the help

[@AmenCornerRider]

You could be a teacher 😊. You are very good at this. Thanks.

I agree. He’s got a great voice. He better be using his gift.!

[@1973Awol]

Nice video- You do a good job explaining the steps. Thanks for making this👍🏻

[@keithcaplan1954]

Great video! Quality instructions and shows you details of where bolts are and how fasteners work. Very detailed! TY TwoWheelObsession. Great job and great video quality too.

[@keithcaplan1954]

Also Thank You Very Much for confirming I don't need a "Performance" Air Filter. Just had that discussion the other day with the genius I'm sending my ecu to.

[@javacofe]

I was wondering about the removal of the tank & fuel lines - this makes it super simple to understand how to gain access. Definitely putting a USB heads-up and some other small mods on now!

[@Harry-Wheeler]

Thank you! Helped taking my ecu off & changing my air filter today. Liked

[@DBNIGHT]

Thanks Bryan now I know how to route the wiring for my fog lights

[@tooyoungtobeold8756]

Thanks, I needed that. Just fitted heated grips to my MT 09.

[@AdrenLnFueledScholar]

Thank you so much for putting the time and effort into this video! Extremely informative! Very detail oriented! This is going to be my guide for getting to my ECU! I put a full Two Brothers Black Series exhaust system on my brand new MT-09 and I am concerned about the health of the engine and am going to get it flashed. So I can enjoy it worry free! Thank you again!!

[@nookman1419]

Thanks for the share .Very detailed instructions need it for this weekends replacing clutch cable .Advise order your cables ahead of time .

[@chincemagnet]

We have Velcro at work that needs a crowbar to take apart, it’s incredible how to tiny little hooks can hold together so tightly

[@Gallagher2112]

Another great vid demystifying bike maintenance/mods! I learn something new every time I watch one of your vids.

[@dahveed284]

A good detailed video. Thanks. I have an XSR900, but its similar in most categories.

[@submissions72]

You're my hero Bryan! My bike is coming next week, I'm doing this asap!

[@chadunnering5733]

You should make a guide on how to remove the throttle body?

[@elfriendly139]

Please did you plug the wires directly to the positive and negatives of the battery? i wanna do the same but to a gps unit not a usb port

[@davidrivera390]

I saw your video and it was a bonus to see you were adding a plug. That’s my last addition to my bike. Do you find it wears down your battery?

[@chincemagnet]

Man, you have an answer for all the important stuff. Awesome video, great channel!

[@davidhughes3051]

Thanks man, was struggling trying to remove the push pins to remove the small panel on the front right hand side so I can access the power connection for my USB charging port. Well explained, much appreciated, ride safe :))))

[@MGMan13]

Awesome video, been looking to do this since I got my FZ and there are little to no good videos online showing how to do it. Definitely going to subscribe and check out your other videos on some more of the mods that I am planning!

[@grant7599]

What a great video ! thank you for sharing !

[@bensutherland6871]

Thank you for the video it was a great help

[@OskaRusty]

Excellent video. Thank you.

[@abramstewart6205]

I happen to have the exact same bike and I did this as well as the phone mount. I'm a little bummed though bc I think my phone actually lost charge while riding hahaha. But, still a fun little upgrade. I'll be using your other videos to guide in other mods. I like every one you've done so far!

[@TwoWheelObsession]

+Abram Stewart try plugging it in lol

[@abramstewart6205]

TwoWheelObsession haha yea.... I think it's probably my cord. I've had a similar issue in my car before. Says it's charging then it loses charge or just doesn't charge.

[@BadDriverrr]

Any issues with dying battery from linking directly?

[@julianfsg6966]

This is great again man thank you so much for your videos!

[@TwoWheelObsession]

Welcome!

[@natethesniper4904]

Quick question. I have removed my ECU to be sent out to be tuned. Those 2 vent hoses from under the tank that i have disconnected. Do i need to reconnect them up even if the bike will be sitting untill i get my ECU back? Will any fuel leak out of the tank? Thanks

[@CharlieJames-fh1bc]

Brilliant video thanks ❤

[@doylee469]

This guys on his game!

Do you know where the ecu is on the 2021 models?

[@josebendana]

great video! very detailed and informative

[@rockySCR]

Good job well explained

[@bosshogg6]

Which pigtail did you use? I'd love to see a link for it, and for all the items you used (tape, velcro, etc). Thanks for the great video.

[@sd5458]

Thanks for the video. Love how you layered the "old towels" in accordance with precisely how old they are based on the international standard of wives. Hilarious my dude. Do you still have the bike? I've been watching since you purchased in 2017, and I still have mine! About to do an exhaust install, which is why I watched your video!

[@ronhu6035]

Its not "High Voltage", it is high Amperage... USB is fixed on the voltages on the pics. Its varies on the current provided to those wires.

[@Ryan-re1rs]

Thank you for the help.. just pulled my ecu out and sending it to vcyclenut.

[@waysideturnip7238]

How did it go?

[@deanthompson88]

Im a heavy handed derp and snapped one of the ECU retaining clips off, while trying to taje the wire out, the one furthest away from the handlebars, iff it slowly wiggled out over time and eventually lost connection what would happen if i was riding it at the time?.

[@bahozqameshlo5842]

Thanks for the info, I changed the airfilter and found som oil in the airfilter box and on the old filter. Is that normal or its mean that there is som problem with the engine??

[@TwoWheelObsession]

That’s normal

[@bahozqameshlo5842]

@@TwoWheelObsessionthank you so much 🙌🏻

[@AdityaMahat]

You are awesome! Thanks a truck load.

[@mausejamm]

There is terminal socket that you can plug-in. at the left air scoop cover

[@TwoWheelObsession]

Mine is being used.

[@jboy2621]

Sheesh! I guess Erik Buell had things in mind when he did the XB. It seems much easier!

[@DudeStuff]

Does it not have a petcock tap to turn the main line off of you want to completely remove the petrol tank

[@TwoWheelObsession]

Those are only for old bikes, usually with carbs.

[@Toast4days]

Filter is in the mail, great video!

[@sytheii]

Thanks again.

[@bigfilsing]

@8:50 Dont kick "high flow" air filters that have been proven to make a difference and are reusable just because you don't have one. The life span of the OEM filter is largely dependent on the riding environment . Blindly quoting a "change" mileage is dumb.

[@RobertMacCready]

The FZ09 looks almost exactly like my FJ09. Could I assume that they both come apart the same way to get to the ecu? AND is that a stock exhaust or did you modify it?

[@motorcycleislife8296]

I lost one of the push pins on the left side of bike anyone know the part number for it? Thanks

[@donle9323]

Just finished installing the Yamaha OEM heated grips for my brand new 2018 MT09. I plugged it into the SAE gray connector (wrapped under black electrical tape with a plug), this is under the air scoop on the clutch side. Is that the correct one for the heated grips anyone know? I read many posts on the internet and just don't want to plug it into the Aux 2A DC port since it may blow the fuse when the wattage imcreases. What I'm looking for is the 5A SAE port.

[@drheault01]

Little bit of royalty free music at the end. Looks like you get it at the same place as Snowcat

[@gazworld1808]

Awesome I will remember this video 😁👍💯💪gazworld🌍

[@Echo4Yankee]

If you get a tune for a high air flow filter, then there most certainly is a gain. That is why I buy them.

[@glenjamin2703]

Is there enough clearance to swap the air filter without removing the tank and any hoses?

[@TwoWheelObsession]

No

[@chadhammond3735]

Can you review that usb charger. Does it really put out 3.1amp? Is that 3.1amp for each port or is that divided between the 2 ports.

[@TwoWheelObsession]

Total

[@chitownbikerboymotovlog467]

Great video! Question: Is the power switched? Does it break the power circuit from the battery when the ignition is off? Thanks!

[@TwoWheelObsession]

+Chitown BikerBoy: Motovlog it's not I just don't leave anything plugged in while I, away from the bike. Not like it's secure to begin with.

[@martinpavlik5592]

+TwoWheelObsession do you know how much current it draws while it is just connected to the battery without any USB accessories in it? Sometimes my bike stands by for weeks and I would not like it to drain my battery. Could you check pls?

[@Laudrengen]

Why do they still make bikes without power outlets? :O

[@TwoWheelObsession]

I know right?!

[@mablevins08]

Excellent video.

[@shreksexy6879]

T.W.O., Any issues with the stock timing chain tensioner or noises from timing chain slack from the engine? Or is this only an issue after high miles?

[@TwoWheelObsession]

No issues, that was an early generation problem

[@bubu6892]

awesome video, thanks you ! But, I don't really understand how you remove and replace these two rubber pipes ? I'm french so, it's complicated to understand ^^ Can you write how to do ? Thank you !

[@TwoWheelObsession]

You just pull them off and push them on.

[@bubu6892]

TwoWheelObsession ok, thank you a lot !

[@jackedee87]

Epic. Thank you!

[@kellyj5389]

Good job

[@jeffrt3893]

I am surprised that you didn't use the power connection behind the right air scoop that is actuated by the ignition switch. USB's will drain your battery slowly when connected directly to the battery.

[@TwoWheelObsession]

#1, it's already used for what it's intended for, the fog lights. #2, no, they don't. I've already done a vid for those like you that think an open USB connection magically drains a battery.

[@warlok9]

True, even though he is already using the accessory power port for the fog lights, most of us won't ever install fog lights and SHOULD use the accessory port because it is easier to access and it turns on and off with the ignition. Many of the USB ports they sell on Amazon have led lights on them and WILL drain the battery. Plus if you leave a usb cable plugged into the USB port it will drain battery as well.

[@jasonm9264]

I’m installing a new air filter, it was free, do I need to disconnect ecu or could I just unscrew the lid and tip it off to the side?

[@jeffrt3893]

Slide out ecu wires from holder on side of airbox and slide out the ecu and let hang. No need to unplug ecu completely. Then, unscrew airbox lid and remove, gaining access to air filter. Simple as that!

[@Acknockout1]

You are the shit bro thank you.

[@leonoff89]

id be afraid of the gas tank falling off the bike, maybe it's better to take it off? i watched vids of folks changing air filters on an r6 and all of them took the tank off

[@TwoWheelObsession]

If you feel like you are the type that would bump it, feel free. I'm careful and it's not going anywhere on it's own.

[@leonoff89]

perhaps maybe it also depends on the fuel tank itself since the r6 tank is small and the way the seat is designed the tank may not be stable

[@dvorakpetr]

Hello, do you really need to pull the cable all the way to the battery? There should be some ready to use "extension sockets" right in front (maybe visible at 13:54?).

[@TwoWheelObsession]

The aux ports are for the quick shifter, fog lights and heated grips.

[@jcunningham2rcr]

TwoWheelObsession does that mean you can’t use those available aux ports? Or you chose not to because you plan on using them for said accessories?

[@jeffrt3893]

There is an available ignition switch actuated power connection under the right cowl. You may have to change the connector depending on what the device that you are connecting has.

[@warlok9]

@@jcunningham2rcr , you can use them. You can wire a matching connector to the other end of the USB port so you don't need to cut stock wires. Search install USB port fz09 on KZbin.

[@andyscherer6936]

Fantastic.... Also, your way of speaking and your voice (also known as your idiolect, for anyone who cares) is just the same as the bald guy from Pawn Stars. Thanks for the great video.

[@toomey2wheels247]

any idea what to do if the connectors to the ecu breaks off? As I was reinstalling ecu i noticed it wasnt locking when fully inserted. I cant find the parts for the this anywhere.

[@TwoWheelObsession]

They are not something Yamaha would sell. You'll have to fabricate a repair or try some kind of electronics supply or something

[@toomey2wheels247]

If the ecu were to become unplugged while riding would that possibly damage the ecu or would the bike just shut down?

[@TwoWheelObsession]

It would shut down. Do not ride it unless it’s correct.

[@martybecker1736]

At some point you'll ride this bike, right? ;-) Great video(s) though
