This is a good kit, top quality. I was pleased to find that the LED bolt is now coming with a plug attached instead of cutting off the one from the stock plate illuminator and reattaching it to the LED bolt.
Thanks for the kind words Jamie! It's a bit embarrassing by the standards of our new video's, but it paved the way to better things. We're glad to hear it's still doing it's job and helping with peoples installations though.
Fitted this tail tidy on a MT09-SP few weeks ago. Video itself was clear enough I didnt need to read the instructions. Thanks for posting. Really impressed with this product.
I just ordered this set of tail tidy and shipping to my country singapore. I’m not sure how Long it will takes to ship to here. It was not stated anything after I ordered it

4:56min I've order a new connector because i didn't want to cut the original... after thinking I've seen thay it faster to take out all the original wire and put a need one. You'll just have to take off the tank disconect the original wire and put a new one (that's because the original wire has a special connection wich you can see at 4:56min in white...).
@@markitodel1873 our product is now supplied with the correct connector for the OEM harness. You shouldn’t have to cut any wires at all. You only need to redirect the OEM feed from the swingarm to under the tail.
Thank you. I got a tail tidy from R&G and the directions are 80% pictures and not a visual learner lol. I almost returned it because of the directions alone. I've never removed the rear wheel before. Am I going to have to mess with it to remove that ugly ass bar over the back tire?
Hi David, You can get away with not having to remove the rear wheel, but you may need to redo your chain tension. This product is a fairly involved install, but with patience and using this video along with the written manual most people should be able to het the install done. We are always happy to help via email too if you were to get stuck during the install.
Wow, that's great to hear you're willing to help. I've been riding for a few years but I never really work on my bikes other than bolt on stuff. I'm afraid to mess with the rear wheel too much. I don't want to mess up the alignment or tension or both. Thanks.
@@Echo4Yankee chain tension is relatively easy, and if you wind both adjuster bolts on either side the same amount of turns in or out the alignment should stay true. You can double check it with the axle block markings. Its worth learning to do and other than the adjustment no more tricky then bolt ons. Wheel removal is the same deal, although refitting it can get quite fiddly. Being able to work on your own bike is a great skill to have!
Hi Steve, it is mentioned in the video. It's important to note however the video is not intended as an installation guide, but rather a addition to the written install guide included with the product.
Hi Mark, not at all the case. If you undo the wiring all the back to the main frame, you are left with enough length to re-route under the tail. If you think about it, in very simple estimations, the distance from the centre of the motorcycle to the back wheel is approximately the same as from the centre of the motorcycle to the rear tail light. If your dealer is fitting extra wire they are not installing this product correctly.
Hi there, yes this will fit the 18 SP. As for size this will depend on your number plate width. Feel free to email us directly with the width of your number plate if you prefer.
Hi there, for someone with no experience install time would run to approximately 1- 1.5 hours. A dealership or experienced mechanic familiar with the bike should be able to have it fitted in 30 minutes. A torque wrench while beneficial is not required for the rear axle, so long as common sense is used and the axle nut is tightened well and checked after a short period of time.
@@MustardBikes a Yamaha dealer told me it would take them 2.5 hrs to fit. I knew that was bs. Ive just found your video so we will give it a go ourselves.
@@MsChrisep 2.5 hours is a bit steep but they may be playing it safe with the quote of they haven't fitted one of ours before. That said, nothing like working on your own bike!
Hi there. The product is designed so the stalks are as short as possible for the maximum size plate it's designed to fit. For a 215mm plate on the 254mm option, the indicator stalks would only stick out 20mm per side. Unfortunately with the 186mm options your indicator lenses would be obstructed by 15mm either side.
No, the widths are measured from the edge of the lenses. If you have a 254mm plate on the 254mm version, the lenses of the indicators will be at the edges of the plate, and the indicator stalk will be hidden behind the plate.
Hi there. The video is not intended to be a how to, but rather to assist with the routing of the wiring and the position of components. It was made to go hand in hand with the written install guide supplied with the product.
You guys should look into Amazon fulfillment if you haven't. I understand you may not sell enough of them in bulk for that, but it's worth considering.
Unfortunately we don't have access to the bike in a location suitable for making a full installation video or suitable equipment to do so at this stage. We were basically working in the dealership car park. This video shows everything you need to know and should be used alongside the written guide provided with the product.

Thanks for the feedback a 02!
This is the best MT 09 tail tidy installation video on TH-cam.
Thanks Chris! We're glad it's helpful.
4 years on - this video is still adding value to the MT community! Thank you!

Yes Yes, it's the first mod to do on this bike, must be 5Kg lighter & it looks soooooo much better. Well done. Whatever was Yamaha thinking of?
We wonder the same thing! Thanks for the awesome feedback.
@@MustardBikes awesome product thank you worth every dollar
1.17 where did you find the metallic piece to bloc and set the weel? On the original support it's already on but you can't take it out....

@@markitodel1873 our kit comes with it supplied, yes.
Top job guy's look forward to placing a order , WALES UK. Many thanks.

Great well made product,easy to fit. You won't be disappointed
Thanks for the comment Mark! Glad to hear you're happy with yours!
Deal told me I would have to attach extra wiring for the setting to reach the back of bike once re routed

thanks for the video. going to install mine on my days off. this video will be a huge help. :)
Hi Wayne, hope it helps! Let us know how you go...
Mustard will do..
Hi man how are you? Can send link where did you get part from? I would like to do that to my Mt/fz-09 plzz thank you
Hi there, the whole kit is available from mustard bikes from the following link: www.mustardbikes.com.au/17-current-mt-09-fz-09-tail-tidy
Thank you
Will this fit my new 2018 MT09 SP and if so what size would I need to order for the UK size number plate?
Hi there, yes this will fit the 18 SP. As for size this will depend on your number plate width. Feel free to email us directly with the width of your number plate if you prefer.
Thanks, will do once I get the bike. I'm sure it will come with the standard UK size plate.
What is the approx install time?
Do you need a torque wrench for the axle block?

The 254mm option seems overkill for my 215mm south aus plate size.
Hi there. The product is designed so the stalks are as short as possible for the maximum size plate it's designed to fit. For a 215mm plate on the 254mm option, the indicator stalks would only stick out 20mm per side. Unfortunately with the 186mm options your indicator lenses would be obstructed by 15mm either side.
Are the widths measured from each indicator mount?
No, the widths are measured from the edge of the lenses. If you have a 254mm plate on the 254mm version, the lenses of the indicators will be at the edges of the plate, and the indicator stalk will be hidden behind the plate.
U got a new sub, greetings from austria (no we don't have kangaroos) :D
Haha, thats okay, you have classical music and the birthplace of Arnie instead of Kangaroos :)
Do you guys have just the axle spacer available for sale?
Hi there, unfortunately we aren't selling just the axle block on it's own at this time.
Ok, thanks.
You don't mention how to fit the actual tail tidy to the bike. I am currently in the middle of doing the job!
Hi there. The video is not intended to be a how to, but rather to assist with the routing of the wiring and the position of components. It was made to go hand in hand with the written install guide supplied with the product.
@@MustardBikes Thank you. I did it in the end. Now I have a Triumph, much better chassis/handling.
Wish it wasn't $30 to ship to the US lol. I'd rather grab this one than the Revzilla
Hi Error01, it actually costs us more than that to ship! We just keep it at $30 for consistency.
We send quite a few to the US!
You guys should look into Amazon fulfillment if you haven't. I understand you may not sell enough of them in bulk for that, but it's worth considering.
We might do that. We are only just about to get Amazon here in AUS, so we're a little in the dark on how they operate if we're honest!
So much work for the led bulb. I'd just remove the stock fender and be done with it. Who needs an illuminated plate anyway.
Informative video though!
You are required to have it by law in many places. I doubt lots of people personally feel the need for one though :)
your supposed to make a vid of the work in progress not after you did the work,SMH
