2023 Yamaha MT09 SP First Ride and Review!

[@yammienoob]

Howdy folks! This is a giveaway bike. Get entered to win at yammienoob.co - sweepstakes will end in September, and we've got some really exciting future giveaways later this year! Superduke 1390 anyone...? ;) Also! Some people asked why I didn't get the 2024, simply put: it wasn't available anywhere when I needed to purchase it! We haven't done a 3rd gen MT09, let alone the SP, and this model is so good. Honestly, I think since it's more upright ergonomically speaking it is spiritually more close to the original mission of the bike, while retaining its character and charm. Let me know what you think :)

I've been riding motorcycles for almost 20 years, I have MT-09SP 2023 and I must warn anyone who wants to buy this bike. There is no going back. 😉 Since I bought this motorcycle, I have also ridden an MT-07 (2022), BMW S1000R (2021), R6, GSX-R and a few others. NO motorcycle can compete with the MT-09 SP. My only recommendation is to buy the 2024 version, as it has a much better display. 👍🏻 + buy a steering damper. It helps a lot.

[@ItzLobbyBobby]

Hey Yams I know you were talking about an exhaust costing around 2k out the door after a flash and everything but there are some more “budget” options that might be worth looking into. My buddy has an XSR900 which I’m pretty sure shares the exhaust system with the MT09. He got a BlackWidow full system delivered from the UK to north Texas in 3 days for under $500 out the door. After a flash the performance gain is night and day. Especially in 2nd gear it’s like a completely different bike. And it’s insanely loud. So there are good lower cost options too for anyone interested.

[@johnpikar4823]

The 2023 Honda Rebel 1100 also has the reverse throttle cruise cancelation. I like it! Definitely appreciate the ability to cancel cruise without being forced to break or adjust my grip

[@markhall3434]

'23 XSR9 here.. yes a smaller screen. I can see it just fine. Needs Adjustable levers.. I like the friction point closer. I prefer larger diameter grips to boot. Adjustable brake lever might be better as well, the two finger reach feels far. Yamster: please make a video on adjusting the suspension. Apparently at least the same KYB in the front as my XSR. I went -1, +2 sprockets, and sintered front pads. Highly recommend a flash, you still have modes to calm things down until confidence builds. I went exhaust (dominator dual can), but really worth only a few additional HP. Stock exhaust sounds Good! The flash get's 80% of the gains for only $300. Bike Prices going up.. I paid $10.3K for my XSR in march '23. but No Ohlins. Once dialed in to my weight and rebound, no complaints. A passenger on the back? I don't think so! Insurance is pretty high, but not liter bike. Needs a windscreen..

[@EZBlast]

Tuning the Gen 2 suspension was in the same league as tuning the CR1125 - very similar suspension and weight. Tuning the MT09 was easy - raise the forks in the trees 14mm and set sag and then the rest from there. Much better. A flash /tune did a lot for the throttle jumpiness, temp, and smoother power delivery. Been worth every penny spent on it since I won it. lol

[@RoadRage810]

Every MT whether it is a 7, 9 or 10 should get an Akrapovic titanium if you want sound and performance without being ridiculously loud and 2 Wheel Dyno Works ECU flash. Those guys are the gods of the MT platform with ECU flashing and it is only around $250. They did my 07 and it is a night and day difference. They have flashed more MT's than anyone in the country and possibly more than anyone in the world and the owner is an MT fanatic.

[@1100_Rebels]

Cancelling cruise control with a reverse flip of the throttle works also on my Rebel 1100 DCT. I didn't know about it until I saw your video. So I checked out my bike and it worked perfectly.

I have one and I find the ride harsh and you can't soften the rear shock. Clutch friction point is right up front so it's hard to modulate compared to other bikes with mid point. It's unstable at very high speed making it scary to commit to hard turn in. Turning lock lock to lock is VERY short. Other than that it's great. perfect power great city highway bike. love it

I have a 2023 MT 09sp. I bought it new and paid cash. It is a fantastic bike. My one critique is that it is not built for tall people. I am 6'6" And I barely fit on it. I have found that I need to stretch and hydrate before.I even consider taking the bike out. Never take anything like coffee before a ride. (Cramps) I also have a seat cushion on top of the motorcycle seat to lift me up a little bit and give me a tiny bit more leg room. I also put some foot pegs on it that lower by about one half inch. These are small adjustments, but it's all there is. I really wish they made a sport bike for a tall person that was comfortable. Until then, this is as close as it gets for me. It's such a wonderful bike though! I'll probably never sell it. (Unless the big sport bike comes out. 🤣)

[@RDC95]

Man that bike looks so sick. Been a fairing super sport squid for 8 years since starting on two wheels. Turning 30 next year and The older I get, the more I am really loving to look of those naked bikes. Maybe after my gsxr-750 dies I will take a look at one of these sweet bikes.

[@TheTyrone1981]

My good friend and I on the weekends hit twisties at a spirited pace in the hill country all the time. She has a 23 mt09 sp. I was following her on my cbr1000rr. She had never been on a super sport and asked if we should switch bikes. I followed her on her sp for about 20 minutes through the twisties. Super fun bike but I didn’t care for it in the twisties. Driving out of corners it constantly wanted to wheelie to the point where the front end was always dancing/speed wobbling. Also anything close to 100 mph and over same thing. Front end danced all over the place. I’m not a wheelie person or hooligan in that aspect so flowing through chicane style twisties was a bit annoying because I was fighting to keep the front end from dancing. My friend that owns it also has a street triple and prefers the street triple in the twisties as It’s way more stable. If I owned it I would lower the front end about an inch so the front end didn’t sit higher than the rear to make it more stable. Fun bike though but I didn’t care for the lack of stability when on flowing twisties.

[@jonpeters5194]

100% agree with this. went from a gsxr600 and the 23 mt09. It feels dangerous turning quick at speed. The rear suspension isn't that good. no high speed compression adjustment makes it kick hard and the adjustments make almost no difference especially to soften the ride. BUT It is a great bike in terms of fun and seating position. The bad high speed handling keeps my speed down or makes lower speed more fun. I would love to fix it with a new rear shock and steering damper.

[@TheTyrone1981]

@@jonpeters5194 yea I honestly think a lot of it would be fixed if the front end were lowered a bit. When you look at the bike the front actually sits higher than the rear. I think it was purposely designed that way because it was a hooligan bike and the geometry makes for easier wheelies.

[@jonpeters5194]

@@TheTyrone1981 Dropping the front would put more weight on the front and improve front end feel (which is needed) but it would also quicken the steering which could be adverse to high speed handling. I think it is worth trying, maybe 5mm at a time because that's the only way to really know.

[@TheTyrone1981]

Yea my friend said she may try lowering hers a bit in the front to see if it helps. It’s a free mod and if I doesn’t help can always put it back to stock easily. I had a street triple rs as well. Absolutely loved that bike. That thing handled like it was on rails. I’ve owned 15 bikes to date all different styles and the street triple was by far the most fun bike I’ve ever owned.

[@autismion]

The first real street bike, non-dual sport non-supermoto I ever rode was a 2014 FZ-09 and I really liked it. Wasn't that scary. And the handling seemed fine, it just felt kind of weird and heavy to lean at low speeds, quickly got used to it. Yeah it could power wheelie in A mode, not really in std. I don't think I'd need a smaller bike, I could turn my WR250R into a supermoto.

[@love4boost]

You can make it more track ready for free too. The risers can be flipped to put the bars more forward and there’s a second more raised position for the pegs. Also for new bikes most of the bigger naked bikes the exhaust system is all one piece.

[@williammcguckin6158]

I have the 2017 model and we both know its not as well put as the new models but dam it's so light and I feel you can flick it. Past models couldn't do it. Once they added TC, abs and the modes it helped so much. you have a good set of tires like the angel GTs and wow it takes the turns. who needs a 600 to take a turn. and the reliability, put a take bag on and take it anywhere. Yamaha and Honda do such amazing Jobs. even those I don't have the SP model, you can get the Suspension in and it definitely helps. Japanese models tend to come with very plush settings. set it up for your weight and wow so smooth. who ever wins this bike will be very happy with the result. If anyone is in NY look up national Powersports, amazing bikes amazing prices. that's where I bought my FZ-09. good luck

[@sleeper.simulant7327]

I went with the Z900 over the MT09 because I much prefer the ergonomics and seating position. It’s more tucked and leaned forward. For my 100 mile commute, 2/3’s of which is interstate, it deals with the wind better. The Z900 also felt like it has just a little more grunt everywhere in the power band as well, although the power is more “dull” (smooth). The Z900 also lacks some of the electronics, no 6 axis IMU, no cruise control, no ride by wire. The 20+ Z900’s have adjustable Showa suspension front and rear though, and the SE models has fully adjustable the Ohlins/radial Brembo’s with steel lines… just lacks the electronics…

The only electronic aids I wanted for a daily were ABS and riding modes/TCS for a bike with this level of power, mainly only for when I get caught riding in the rain. I don’t need all the other stuff. For me, ergonomics and how the bike feels matter more. And overall I preferred the more aggressive, tucked ergo’s of Z900 over the MT09. Compared to a super sport though the Z900 is still quite upright. It’s a different riding feel, the MT09 feels a little more flickable, the Z900 more stable.

Been looking into a sporty bike for when i dont want to lug around my cruiser. Been looking as a Hayabusa, GSXR 750 and the MT09 since they have felt nost comfortable for me being a bigger guy(6'5 300 pounds)the busa felt the best for size especially for the super sport area but the MT09 felt more comfortable with it being more upright

[@thegamingshatt4758]

I think the feeling of the first gen is just something to get use to, I have no problem flicking it side to side, and scraping pegs (and no I don't mean the extended nubs) I have recently lowered the front end by about 25mm and stiffened up the rear and I bought it with an ohlins shock. But u love it and I'm really considering just getting the latest model when this one dies

[@MotoRookies]

Why is it better than the z900 if the z has more power, torque and it's way faster? 🤔

[@CORBE13]

3 cylinders and 20kg lighter

[@alanluscombe8a553]

I’d love to ride one. I just got my r7 and am about half way done with my stunt build

[@B-Rok88]

Ive been in the market for a powerful naked to replace the ol' supersport. The standard MT09 felt extremely sloppy so making an SP model was smart of them. Im excited to win this thing and test it for myself!

[@johnstef8607]

Despite people telling 2017 is the prettiest rather than this i would prefer this for the aggressiveness that it gives with those straight lines up front for chicks and the rest 🔥

[@lilquac]

I was just looking for a mt09 review video and you video just appeared

[@willclayborn1220]

the 2017+ Aprilia tuono v4 1100 rr and factory has the same system for the cruise control, roll off and then a little bit more and it cancels it out. its really nice to use

[@andrewnicholson5851]

I have this bike too and I absolutely love it like Yammie says it’s a great bike

[@Infilnius]

Take a look at the MIVV pro carbon full system exhaust. Comes with removable silencer (takes seconds to swap in/out) and Cat (sold separately). I have this one running on mine 👌

[@BigHead104]

The 2022 Aprilia Tuono v4 factory does the same thing, where you can twist your throttle forward to cancel cruise control.

[@AODCandyman]

cancel cruise with the throttle was already on the 2015 bmw ;) nice review though. Got my self a 2022 XSR900 :)

[@FrankElyRealtor]

Okay now I'm keeping my 21SP. I was selling 😂

[@rozzbourn3653]

i call BS on the night and day compared to a z900.. the 2020 x900 that i own was the same or better than the 2018 mt09 that i was considering at the time. they were both on my short list, but after riding the 2, the z900 was what i wanted.

[@rubo1964]

Plus Z900RS screaming exhaust is one of a kind only Kawasaki can master

[@ItsMeDavidRyan]

I owned my 2021 890 Duke R for a year before I realized that rolling forward on the throttle cancels cruise. I think Triumph has the same functionality. I bet it’s more common than Yammie realizes.

[@nagarashi]

Would love a review of the new Svartpilen 801 honestly

[@Mattrick4]

I have a 2023 Yamaha XSR900, that I got right before Memorial Day, and I absolutely love it! I am curious, though, if you, or anyone else have noticed using the quickshifter to go from 1st to 2nd. More times than not, it will just go into Neutral, and it throws me off a bit, and just looks like I'm revving it obnoxiously.

[@mytmousemalibu]

Ya, happens sometimes, even clutching the shifts. Need to be firm on the 1-2 shift. I usually clutch the 1-2 anyway.

[@Mattrick4]

@@mytmousemalibu yea, that's what I've been doing, clutching 1st -> 2nd

[@drewmoto732]

Need to make sure the pivot point on the shift pedal is lubed. It will work flawlessly after that.

[@Mattrick4]

@drewmoto732 what kind of grease would you suggest?

[@drewmoto732]

@@Mattrick4 white lithium grease works best

[@darrelmiles8515]

My 23 speed triple has the counter roll for cruise control as well

[@duanestiles4821]

Hey there yammie you need to buy one for your self as much as you love that one stay safe

[@woritsez]

they are nice. head n shoulders above the street triple. not looked in on the channel for a year or three, did he ever go do the Himalayas?
