I've had mine for 4 years, without a doubt this truly is the most exciting bike I've ever owned out of all 60 and over 57 years of riding. I have the FZ07, a 1200 Thruxton, BMW F800R and NC700X. being old weight plays a major part in my choice of bikes. I liked the Street Triple, they did have an occasional problem but value for money, bang for the buck the 09 is hands down superb. I do not "mod" any of my bikes, experience has taught me to leave it as it can in the box. This bike is brilliant all around.
Just bought mine 2 months ago as a starter bike. From what i have learned it truly is a monster. The bike is so aggresive and a ton of fun to ride but you need to know your limits and have a great amount of respect towards the bike. There is 3 riding modes A,STD and B (2016 mod) and i only ride in STD mode and plan on riding in this mode for a while. You can also use B mode as a Rain mode when roads are wet. As long as you do these steps and have the correct mindset you can start on this bike no problem.
I got a Black Widow exhaust last year for my FZ09. I bought it directly off their website. Great exhaust and super cheap - whole system for the same cost as a slip on.
Your mods are awesome. You've turned "ordinary' looking bike into a great custom job. I have a mostly stock MT10 but have ridden an MT09. Both extreme fun bikes. Some have bagged the 09 for the things you have fixed. You've shown a good head doing this. Enjoyment doesn't only come with riding. Enjoying your bikes looks and making it your own is supercool. Nice job. Oh and the front cowl works for me.
You need a tune for that thing. Makes a world of difference. Also, you won’t risk burning up your valves with a lean air fuel mixture with that exhaust.
I put my MT09 up for sale a few months ago without much luck to sell, The only reason im selling is that I plan to move overseas. I ride my Dads 2000 BMW RT on occasion (and because backpacking with my gf is easier), however I will never get over the triple cyl sound. Termigoni best exhaust. Now Im thinking of just keeping it in the shed when Im back in the country. Mine has upgraded suspension when i bought it, and if I really wanted to throw more money at it, i would forsure invest in adjustable foot pegs, sportier handlebars and if i had some money laying around Id probably throw a deep space wrap on the tank. Great bike, great power. Nice video!
Man, I’ve had my 2015 since 2015 and I will never sell it. I love the bike, it’s just hands down the most easiest and fun bike all around. I had a GSXR 750 before this fz and of course was great. But this bike sits up right and is enjoyable.
i cant agree more out of every bike ive owned, my MT09 has been the most fun,i love it to bits added a rapid unit for the fueling and a shifter and its been insane.....great vid keep it up
Sold my FZ09 after I've added my mods to the point I realized that I'm trying to turn it into a SS. Bought a CBR600RR instead. I miss the FZ though because it was fun.
Same bro. Your the perfect person to ask if I should get FZ-09. Because I have CBR 1000 right now and I'm not very sure if fz is that powerful for canyons and harder riding
@@chaytonthesatan fz09 will power wheelie in 1st and 2nd gear. I dont even ride it in A mode. If you plan to ride in canyons put it in B mode aka slow mode. A mode throttle response is abrupt, same goes for standard mode. Just for this fact cbr1000rr will be faster in canyons because that bike has smooth throttle response.
Nice looking FZ! I agree with a lot of your points but I have to disagree with you on the suspension and brakes. While the FZ was not designed to be a track machine you can still rip it stock, a lot of people dump thousands of dollars into it with the mindset to fix a inferior suspension and hardly ride their bike. Unless you drag knee on every corner I don't think the stock suspension is "trash" and needs thousands of dollars spent, it's very capable if you have experience. But hey to each their own! Ride safe
I don't know man. I purchased my bike already having aftermarket suspension on it and it has been a world of difference. I've also never been to a track day on it. But I have ridden quite a few stock FZ09's. I do not feel confident with taking that bike around twisty's at all. I've let many FZ09 owners ride mine and they agree with me as well. Also, you can swap zx6r suspension in yours for way cheaper, worth a look. Have a good one.
2018 MT-09 owner here. My 10th bike owned (from supersports to SV650 nakeds). Suspension is definitely trash. Chassis, engine, transmission, etc. is a great platform, suspension is trash. Switchgear, info display, seat/subframe isn't very good, but all that can be forgiven with proper setup. If you want to keep the machine for years, it's worth fixing the low points. If you plan to get rid of the bike soon, it's not worth fixing but please don't tell people that the OEM setup is "fine" because it's one of the worst on the market. No reason to avoid buying a new one, just something to consider when buying one.
@@exothermal.sprocket I'll agree to disagree, I have also owned a lot of bikes over the years. Including a 14 FZ-09 for 3 years now. I'm not saying the bike has the best suspension out there. If the suspension was pure "trash" these bikes wouldn't sell. The FZ/MT has become one of Yamaha's best sellers and kicked off the demand for naked sport bikes. To each their own, if you want to drop 2k on suspension that's up to each individual and their needs. The FZ-09/ is plenty capable in stock form, it's way more capable than what most Joe's can push on the streets. You don't need to throw the suspension in the trash LOL. To say stop telling people that the suspension is fine is very ignorant. Best of luck to you, ride safe!
Outside of the 10 bikes I've owned, I've ridden over 50 others of all genres from various brands. Stock MT-09 suspension is trash. Trash spring rate, trash damping circuits, trashy control when underway. You can disagree if you like.
How did you get the mirror to clamp onto the handle bars there? I thought the handlebars are 22mm in diameter and bar-end clamps are 20mm inside diameter.
Good video, im thinking of getting a MT09 for my next bike..Only 1 thing i find wrong with this video friend is you never ride a bike in shorts or tee shirts, you might think you will never come off, But you never know what is around the next corner, even if you have been down that road a 1000 times.
I bought a 2006 R1 3 weeks ago and it gets damn hot fans kick in at 220. Next thing it's blown it's gaskit or a cylinder ring. Don't bother with them if you plan to be in traffic or any periods on and off.
Started riding on a 2014 fz09. No traction control, no ABS and tons of torque. I want get a new bike but after starting on the 09 I’m worried that no matter what I get it won’t be as fun..
so what made you decide to change from woodcraft if it was working great ? what major differences are you now experiencing with the " Carmicheal " Bars ? also how many inches is the difference between the 2 bars ? thanks
I liked the woodcraft in the beginning but it made it feel like a sport bike... This bike is basically a big dirt bike and hooligan bike so the bar is necessary! It's more comfortable, easier to wheelie, better looking. It's probably a good 3 inches higher
ShakeNBlake ok so if you’re saying that the Carmichael bars are 3” higher than the woodcraft clip-on’ bars that would put you back up to stock bar height again? ( did I misunderstand anything? )
ShakeNBlake I’m about your height, how do the Carmichael bars do against the wind on highways and upper speed limit ( parachute issues against the torso?) this is a concern. I have a Supermoto and on freeways it’s definitely not a long distance motorcycle, but I wanna get more hooliganism out of my Fz09
Sweet bike. I like the white windscreen. I bet it's fun cleaning those wheels though.
5 ปีที่แล้ว
Just wanna add to reliability factor I have 22k now and it's still pulling strong, I have a feeling that this bike will get to 50k, it runs amazing like brand new even at 20k
My favorite bike ever was the 2001 ninja ZX900RR it was the perfect mix of weight and power, and god it was fast, it would keep up or pull any liter bike, it came down to who ever got the jump, and now I’m looking for something comfortable that can match those numbers! I find myself wanting a Ninja 1000, or Suzuki GSXS1000F, I’m leaning towards the Suzuki myself, but the ninjas are every where! I buy a engine, and frame cause the rest I can fix or upgrade if need be, but I ain’t gonna replace a frame, or a engine so I want a big 4 cylinder liter bike to save for when everything is weak electric and no top speed, then we can just walk away from anything on the road and make our deliveries first! Or get away from danger whatever we will rule the road!
The suspension will be fine. Have the suspension adjusted properly and it's a competent bike. People over react about the suspension. The 2017-2018 front suspension is better then the 2014-2016
Late answer: they dont expand when you squeeze the brakes, the rubber ones do. This gives a directer feeling of braking, cheap mod, highly recommendable for every bike.
So to my understanding, the FZ Line as of 2019 are called "MT" ? same bike, just MT like in Japan? I'm looking to get into this bike as my first bike. I work at an HD dealership. So I'm around bikes.
@@samnese7992 I think it started in 2018 Officially. But whatever the case, I'm ok with it. They're called MT all over the world so it's good. Sounds better to me anyways.
@@Denim330 no I know now. Found out what MT meant. Now the question is, which to get. 07-09. The 07 seems like the one that would get the most use out of the 2. The 09 seems too powerful for its own good. Eventhough I could keep my throttle hand under control. I think the more fun one could possibly be the 07 since you can use more of its power and be relatively more safer. Plus price out the door and insurance. Eventhough I'm 37.
Hi bro!!! Im from México, i have an accident and broke my mt 09... Need the front fork, both, left and right... I see your video and then looking the traxxion suspensión but i Need the complete fork.... Can you help me???? Dou you recommend a web site to but???
Yeah my 2015 fz09's been my favorite bike out of all the bikes I've owned over the years. but it's time for a switch up... sure wish yamma would put the r1 engine in one. I'm really leaning on the mt10 but it's just not as pretty as the '09 or seem to be as flickable and fun to ride. Decisions decisions
Wow. Love your FZ bro. Looks super nice. I just picked up a 2014 before winter and I love it so much. Only rode it for a few days and it’s been put away for snow reasons. Itching to take it out soon. 😅
New sub here and wanted to you get your opinion. I currently own a 2014 ZX14R and will probably get bashed for this but there is a good chance I will be trading it in on a new 2018 MT09 tomorrow. I have a test ride set up to see what this bike is all about. Now my reasoning is I am getting to the point where my age and miles I commute isn’t practical on a sport bike. I feel the FZ/MT will be or is the better choice. Thoughts?? Only negative I can think of is going to be buyers remorse wishing kept the 14. I feel the FZ/MT can just do everything around the city better/ better suited anyhow. Thanks man awesome vids.
Well to be fair. All the expensive stuff like suspension was already on there. The only expensive thing I did was exhaust and tune. I probably have about 7k into it
I own a 2017 fz09 and just like you can't really complain about what you get for the price you pay. Although one thing I absolutely hate about this bike is how uncomfortable that ironboard stock seat it comes with
@@dsavv 5'8" 200 it's long distances that the stock seat was bad at so I went ahead and bought a comfort seat from Yamaha. Although it makes the seat height much higher but makes it a huge difference in terms of fatigue on long rides
Luap 1983 it’s a pretty small bike but so is the mt09. If you have some experience riding, I’d say go for the mt09. With no experience I would start on the mt07

i cant agree more out of every bike ive owned, my MT09 has been the most fun,i love it to bits added a rapid unit for the fueling and a shifter and its been insane.....great vid keep it up
If you love it so much why you only put 2k miles per year on it?
Bob Saggot we can only ride 6 months out of the year here...
You can run engine ice in your radiator that will help also you can put a toggle switch to control your fan at all enable you to turn it on and off
Im not trying to do wheelies. Can you set the traction control to where it keeps the front end down?
Sold my FZ09 after I've added my mods to the point I realized that I'm trying to turn it into a SS. Bought a CBR600RR instead. I miss the FZ though because it was fun.
I went the other way haha, sold my cbr600rr for a 2018 MT09 (UK)
ive got a cbr600rr and want the fz 09 lol I want the power down low and have something thats comfy

Everywhere I read it says to get after 2017 since lot of issues were addressed and fixed at that year, what are you thoughts?

the new street triple is the next bike i plan on getting also. Im just about to pick up the 2018 z900 this week, so kinda similiar to the mt09
Did you install the handlebar yourself? if so, did you do any trimming on the length? and how are you liking the riding position overall with them on?
if you’re getting pro taper handlebar then you’ll have to trim the length will have to put threads on it by yourself.
That white is so damn sick!!!

I have a test ride set up to see what this bike is all about. Now my reasoning is I am getting to the point where my age and miles I commute isn’t practical on a sport bike. I feel the FZ/MT will be or is the better choice. Thoughts?? Only negative I can think of is going to be buyers remorse wishing kept the 14. I feel the FZ/MT can just do everything around the city better/ better suited anyhow. Thanks man awesome vids.
awesome looking bike! ive recently traded my bandit 600; in for a MT09 and love it.
robert reach great choice! You’re going to love it
ShakeNBlake yes, its a great bike damn quick, light as feather! stay safe , peace, u.k biker.
I love the white windshield tbh mate
Man, I need to get me one of these! Solid video man. Have you had any major issues since this video?
You should modify the back seat to plastic. It completes the bike
Woah youre in spokane?
That bike is beautiful. Freaking love it. I want one.
So you bought the bike for $5800 and then your put how much onto it, like when is too much?
Well to be fair. All the expensive stuff like suspension was already on there. The only expensive thing I did was exhaust and tune. I probably have about 7k into it
No issues at 10K miles? I hope not.
I love the plate placement and we do this also over here but if you have it cops pull you over on a daily
Dope bike, love the mods.
Did you tune it when you put the exhuast?
Yes, the ECU is flashed
You've been a great help great video keep up the great work
Great video if people want the black widow exhaust go to their website and order they are UK based and they may do shipping
i got mine in a week and it came from uk to ny.
Wind screen looks great, don't worry about the haters. Opinions are like assholes everybody has one.
Good video I’m going to get one fz09
I own a 2017 fz09 and just like you can't really complain about what you get for the price you pay. Although one thing I absolutely hate about this bike is how uncomfortable that ironboard stock seat it comes with
I dont mind the seat at all, curious, height and weight? I'm 5'11" 145
@@dsavv 5'8" 200 it's long distances that the stock seat was bad at so I went ahead and bought a comfort seat from Yamaha. Although it makes the seat height much higher but makes it a huge difference in terms of fatigue on long rides
what's with yamaha always running hot
Had a 700r raptor it ran hot all the time
hey man love the channel keep it up bro!! if I wasn't all the way in CT I would say we gotta ride some time haha take care man! keep the vids coming.
Where in CT are you from? Just curious, I live in florida now, but I was born and raised in New Britain.
What would be a good first bike?
FZ07
@@ShakeNBlake509 I'm quite a big bloke think I would look stupid on it!!?
Luap 1983 it’s a pretty small bike but so is the mt09. If you have some experience riding, I’d say go for the mt09. With no experience I would start on the mt07
THANK you , good video . i go a 2020 MT 09
I need to change my suspension it’s awful when stock
That's one sexy bike! Nice choice on the mods!
I don't care what anyone says about the mt07 .I personally think it's one of the fastest under 1 litre bikes ever made. Period .
Don't you mean MT 09?
Really clean & beautiful 👍🏼
