Fitting crash protection to my new MT09-SP.

- The first thing to get going with my MT09 was crash protection!
A whole bunch of R&G. I hope this wasn't as boring to watch for you as it was to me... Tried my best to cut it down and speed bits up.
Didn't quite go as planned because my camera had other ideas but the next video of fitting something will be much better and more informational as I planned because I will be more prepared!
R&G are going to send me a selection of stickers for the casings.
I will try to do a separate video on the tail tidy because the video was already too long, haha!
Camera angles weren't great either...
Believe me I am my worst critique haha.
Ohwell!
Thanks for watching!

I agree tank protectors don't go very well and too many RG Logos, but the bike is looking fantastic, looking forward to tail tidy and nice to see Dad helping .... Stay safe.
At least most of the logos are stickers :)
Nice work PistonHeadChaz I only have one piece of advice which you will only really appreciate in later life. The way you're cracking torqued up factory tight bolts will seriously injure your wrists. It's definitely not because you're a girl that I'm offering this advice, I see guys making the same mistakes too.
The best way to open stiff bolts and nuts is to use your weight to push down on whatever leverage you're using. And note that you're actuslly using a shorter ratchet than your torque wrench. Most 3/8 and 1/2" ratchets are fairly short (this is to prevent people applying too much tightening force), though 1/2" are a bit longer.But a longer freeing bar always makes the job easier.
So, if you angle a 1/2 ratchet (with a 3/8" reducer if you're using 3/8 sockets) horizontally and then press down using your weight to free the bolt, you won't be straining your wrists, and the job will be a lot easier.
Otherwise, I'm very impressed by your work. And that's a nice looking bike. I'm a Honda and Bultaco guy, but I have mates who love Yammies. Watch out for the bolts rusting. It seems to be a common problem theses days.
Its refreshing to see videos done by someone who isnt egotistical. on a side note, so many R&G logos, i just blacked mine out
BikeStuff Thanks 🙂. Yeah, they are sending me some Black ones. 😊
Quick tip, to make it easier for you breaking nuts and bolts free, aim the force you’re applying down toward the ground where possible, also very nice vid and good choice on the bike too 😊
So good to see young riders learning how to do jobs/maintenance for themselves rather than booking it in to a garage, well done young lady.
I wanna get an all black MT09 and this is going to be my first addon frame sliders are a must! If they have a sort of roll cage I'm going for that
I think you are awesome - I’m doing my cbt I would of liked to start on a MT-125 and worked my way up can not believe I waited so long to do my bike test - going to do a year on cbt then do DAS then get MT-07. Thank you for the insight
kevin tyrrell You'll love it. I'll never forget when I did my CBT I loved it! Id been riding my mates bikes illegally on car parks so it was my first time riding on the road and I just thought it was amazing 😂🙈 I just couldnt wait to spend everyday out riding haha.
Be careful, it looked like you well overtightened that first bolt, the torque wrench clicked and you kept going, those engine covers and cast alloy frame will easliy crack if you overtighten things.
It wasn't a click, don't worry :)
2:42 are you sure lol?.
Dean Thompson I bet haha and yeah, my Dad was messing with stuff in the background.
PistonHeadChaz it was defo a click
@@cladbecaha It's the noise from overcoming friction against plastic. You might hear a similar click when loosening bolts that back onto the fairing or another plastic component.
Yeahhh loving the new bike... be careful though as my bike was stolen 3 weeks ago and these thieves are getting away with it cause the police don't give a toss. Ride safe buddy 👍👍👍😁
You've got such great taste Chaz. Really enjoying seeing all the changes, so for sure keep making the mod vids. Keep up the great work 😉👍
They are tough bikes, i bought it as a beater since its only 9 grand, i fall with it all the time doing stupid shit, but extra protection looks like a good thing if you want to take care of it, such a fun little bike for little money
Love your dog , great bike aswell , good your fitting crash protection as part are so expensive
I haven't bought any R & G products for my bike because I don't want their logo plastered all over my bike.
Why don't use just remove the logo's?
Because I'm too lazy.
PistonHeadChaz how?
Jeff O Pull them off
Jeff O The crash sliders are a badge that can be heated up and peeled off, R&G even gives you a couple spare badges in the pack
I personally love the rear hugger on the mt09. I would have bought one but I couldn't handle the asymmetric dash cluster.
I feel like the left passenger foot peg was actually protecting that Öhlins reservoir which sticks out a bit. Wonder if it could be relocated under the subframe somehow. 🤔
tinnedspicedham I see what you mean.
Yup lookin forward to the tail tidy vid.
Lol we.need a tail tidy Vid Chaz...
For your MT 09 SP
When we going to see Tail Tidy
I have 2019 MT 09 here in thailand waiting for You
When???
Love seeing you care your bike like female always do on thier beloved .
Oh my god look at all those goodies, cool video...
So classy! Well done.
3 of my favorite things, motorcycle, dog and nice girl all was missing was drumset . nice video I like the fz09 and the Z1000 to , I have 2003 fz1 now, it's pretty good bike.
Safety first, always cheaper to fitcrash protection than fairing panels and rear sets,R and G are the best, great video chaz keep it up chick 🏍🤜🏻
I agree the tank protection needs to be clear or perhaps matching colour
You are very good compliments! I own a HONDA HORNET 900 and a CB1000R LIMITED EDITION! But in a month I will also buy a YAMAHA MT-09 SP 2020 ....
Imho, on your next mods look at the rizoma bar end mirrors if you prefer looks over functionality. They look nice and sexy but yeah they're just abit small to see the rear view
great vid Chaz I agree the tank grips are a bit Naff tbh might be better in a solid colour cant wait to see the tail tidy catcha ya soon regards Kev xx
KEV STEWART I thought I wanted clear but now I think I want black haha.
PistonHeadChaz hehe probs be better in black Chaz xx
Skillz!! My Chihuahua, Pablo is impressed, too! MT-09 bff's.
Just bought my SP. Pick her up next week.
Looking forward to the tail tidy video!
Ding Ding Oo enjoy!
Yes when is the taill tidy???
Nice bike your family are very understanding too allow you to ride a bike on today's roads stay safe
David Bates All of my family ride so they have no choice 😛
Great bike, and great vid, always good to see how parts look on a bike.
Great looking bike!
Chaz i like these types of vlogs mixed with your riding and your take on safety body and bike. I think your bike is really cool now. Ride on!
A lovely bike, I hope you’ve been enjoying it.
Congratulations on the new MT09-SP, looks great. Great to see you wrenching on it and personalizing it too. Thanks for sharing.
I think it is good period to buy MT-09 as initial weak points (ECU settings, Rear Sus. etc) were recovered.
Excellent Video!. Love your bike!
Love your eyes!!! Like your new bike but to much R&G racing logos
I really love bikes but you’re the reason i watch your videos... sorry i’m in love 😍
the blue of your t shirt suits you wonderfully
Nic fan from 🇫🇷
" I dont know if you can see the tail tidy " Mate you could see it from the moon 👍
Great vid. .you know your way around a bike ✊
Love R&G products. Got all their crash protection. And got their logos all over my bike ;)
clean bike
Great bike😎 nice video also👏🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Chaz love to see the mods but I never usually buy R&G stuff because I hate their logo plastered over everything. I have a couple of engine guards from them but was able to leave the label stickers off.
Sin miedo 😨 💪 al éxito 🙌
Wow, what a pretty bike - it suits you well =P
Nice accessories, but I could not understand what you called the round black plastic knobs that the rear stand attaches to. Never knew about the clutch and engine covers to protect from scratches.
Cotton reels
What a beauty!
You're what dreams are made of Chaz. :)
im thinking of changing the seat for a more comfortable one, because on long rides seat feels a bit hard!
Did you change seat
Went and looked at a 2019 mt09 today. They only had blue and black. Silver and black I think looks much better
Nice job guys! Great looking bike! 👏👍
Beautiful bike. I hope to be picking one up soon and I'll definitely be doing some of these mods. Thanks for the video. And I subbed.
Nice work, look forward to more. You might need some new camera batteries lol
Tack2252 Just me being unprepared haha. I did charge it but not full, I assumed it would last 😟
Love your vids we need more female riders
There are actually a lot now a days!
Not in Scotland we get one or two at meet ups or ride outs but it is refreshing to see more female motor bloggers doing great vids 😎👍
715DER Ahh, I see haha.
I think what 715DER is meaning to get at here is there can never be enough 😄😂
Ewww those tank pads look horrible. Rest looks good, GJ.
I have been looking at Tubular crash bars .. SO-Mothech nice very expensive like $240.00 and some no name brand on E-Bay $96 probably made in China . I may have to go for the no name brand ..
Watch out with those frame sliders. I had those on my MT and after about 10.000km the bolt snapped and I had to leave the bike at the shop so they could take the whole engine down to remove it. It left me with a huge bill. Just keep an eye and make sure the bolts are properly adjusted through time
Jorge Asapche Ok, thanks for the heads up.
PistonHeadChaz Enjoy the new bike!
The bike is looking sick af!!! I love the rear peg blankers, what’s the size of the peg blankers? I’d like to see if they’d fit on my Wr125x 😁
Daryl Edwards Not a clue haha they will do them for yours anyway
Nice video and great to see you doing mods yourself. It’s a satisfying feeling. Ride safe
i got the same covers for the engine part looks good and works well
Great video, you'll improve with the ratchets and allen keys with time, you still done a great job ;)
Great video 👍👍
I need to gv less time to your post now, or ill might forced myself to upgrade my 07 to 09!lol 09 was my dream bike
sobering cat 🙈😂
I'm def gonna use some of these tips to protect mine. Great content. Your voice is soothing asf.
A great real world video, good work
Good work bravo✌.
I am french biker 🇫🇷 👍
Love the vid 👍🏼 makes a nice change from watching guys tinker with bikes lol ...ride safe 👌🏻
So cool
It's my dream bike! I hope you have a lot of fun with it :)
Nice accessories😉
Nice job.. looking good :-)
Solid quality of your videos lately. Good stuff
Constructive criticism; use a regular ratchet to tighten then use torque wrench to torque to spec. Specially on the engine bolt that you were tightening.
ive just traded my suzuki bandit 600 in for one of these bikes,,;love it! ive fitted r and g crash bungs,;and tail tidy, nice bike you got there chaz.
Just watch because I was curious about these engine covers from r&g racing. I got some other companies cover for my bike there a thick aluminum plates. But you are a beautiful lady. Mite just to check out some more of Your video to see what else you got
I do like mt09s it would be one of the bikes that could persuade me sell my zx9r for.
Always enjoy these kind of videos 👍🏻 already your MT is starting to come together nicely so good on you!!!
Adam Stratford Thanks 🙂
PistonHeadChaz no worries 👍🏻👍🏻
Great Job
Hey Chaz I see Wigan Yamaha have got your MT-07 on Ebay for five grand. Hope you took the pipe off before they got it because it's not on there now! Love the new bike by the way!
Kenny G some of these bike shops taking off cans,;exhaust systems etc off traded in bikes and selling them separately! damn cheek,;dont leave em on for these money grabbing dealers.
Hey Chaz, do you remember what size screw head was used for the passenger peg on the side with the shock preload adjuster? I assume it's a security torx head but I don't know what size. Cheers from Australia
Why did you take your passenger pegs off? Now where am i going to put my feet, when you pick me up this weekend!!?? Anyways those frame sliders look like long distance highway pegs, you can really stretch your legs out on a long journey! About how much total cost to date on the mt09? In U.S.D. if possible? I'm really looking into getting one-day maybe next year. Well keep up the awesome video's! Your eyes are gorgeous, i love the shiny make up too! Your biggest fan from across the pond in Xenia, Ohio. U.S.A.
Great video, i was wondering if maybe you could do a video about your riding height, foot position on holding still and how tall you are, would be good for woman who wants to ride bikes aswell, especially the short women =) keep up the good work! looking forward to more vlogs =)
Good idea.😊 I'm 5'9 so I luckily don't have any troubles!
@@PistonHeadChaz im very glad you liked my idea, and highly appreciate the answer =) (ive not experinced alot of answers!)
- Ride safe and keep the vlogs coming =)
Japan's latest weapon
You should have slung R&G an email & see if they could have thrown you some freebees. It's worth a try, especially since R&G aren't exactly the cheapest out there & over 10k views in 2 days is nothing to be sniffed at.
Good job though. I know exactly what you mean about modding stuff. I can't help myself & always getting grief from mates when things go tits up. Make it yours is what I say.
Hey just wondering if that suspension is that big of a deal or if you got to ride the stock on the regular MT?
Excellent video beautiful bike beutifull girl and your work is excellent in Cali we have lots of woman rider's I just don't see to many working on there own great job don't worry about the guys on here I always love the perfect I garante you half of them use an impact and are the biggest hacks u would never want to touch your bike keep up the great work !
Beautiful bike, I love the colour of it, but I know you want to change it in the future. I'm biased towards the colour because my 2016 MT 07 is in the same colour scheme
Just keep them coming..... love the videos.... keep up the great work 😁✌️👍👊🏍️
Nice bike
One of my dream
To travel around GUIMARAS ISLAND
cheers....
i really love the mt09, how you liking it going from the mt07? also awesome video
Loving your work Chaz!! 👌🏻
Had a couple of marriage proposals as well 🤣😂, God only knows what's going to happen when you fit the tail tidy!! 🤣😎
Matthew Townsend Pahahah! I did the tail tidy on my 07 and my god I almost had a break down 😂😂 I have no clue when it comes to wiring but managed to do it in the end ha!
PistonHeadChaz At least you have a go, fair play to you darlin 👏
Bikes looking cool, well it will when you get rid of that hideous number plate holder thingy .🤚🏻
Matthew Townsend Haha honestly can't wait to get rid of it 😂
PistonHeadChaz I bet 😂 looks like a contraption off a Harley 🤑.
Will be cool when its gone though ✌🏻✌🏻💪🏻
did you use the original engine screws or did they provide you with screws?
watch out for the thieves, got my mt09 nicked from manchester, get your bike layered e.g. proper chain, disk lock, cover so they dont know what the bike is, and a tracker. there going for mt09s!
Is your hat signed by Marquez? Awesome. I have my marquez replica shoei signed by him..
Great vid, but a little bit of thread lock never hurts 😊😊
Looks great! I'm just not a fan of the tank pads in clear. Cheers.
Why can there not be more girls out there like you :(, pretty, intelligent, AND LOVES BIKES YEAH!!! Keep up the great work. Ps keep doing your eye lashes like that like I said on another video it suits you really well.
You're lovely! Best lucky on the next video with your camera J
Did you do them bungs to 40nm as per the instructions?
Is it per piece or pair for the front r and g crash protector? It cost £71. Im a bit confused
I am looking to buy an MT 09, it is all black, one left, I will want some of these to protect mine as well, do you still love your bike?
