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.
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.
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. 🤔
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 😊
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
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.
@@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 👍👍👍😁
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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 ..
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.
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 🇫🇷
Hey, Great Video, would you mind giving me the link or the site or place at which you ordered these. or can you recommend a place that i could get all of this stuff. Thanks.
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 .🤚🏻
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.
Chaz, u have that tail tidy and u live in the UK, doesn’t it rain there a lot? I had one of those on my KTM duke and a rider on the road pulled me over to point at all the mud on my bag and helmet that had flew off the back tire. Is it an issue or do u not ride when it’s wet out or something? I see lots of UK riders use them. I want to, too. Thank you.
I want a mt09!! Love the sound of the triple. These protectors must have cost a bomb. Is there a taller screen available ? I'd miss the fairing to get out of the wind. But looks a great bike
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
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 :)
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.

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. 😊

tinnedspicedham I see what you mean.

I personally love the rear hugger on the mt09. I would have bought one but I couldn't handle the asymmetric dash cluster.
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
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???
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 👍👍👍😁
Congratulations on the new MT09-SP, looks great. Great to see you wrenching on it and personalizing it too. Thanks for sharing.
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 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
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.
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
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

Jorge Asapche Ok, thanks for the heads up.
PistonHeadChaz Enjoy the new bike!
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???
I think it is good period to buy MT-09 as initial weak points (ECU settings, Rear Sus. etc) were recovered.
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 😄😂
I agree the tank protection needs to be clear or perhaps matching colour
Love your dog , great bike aswell , good your fitting crash protection as part are so expensive
Skillz!! My Chihuahua, Pablo is impressed, too! MT-09 bff's.
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!
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
Oh my god look at all those goodies, cool video...
A lovely bike, I hope you’ve been enjoying it.
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

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.
" I dont know if you can see the tail tidy " Mate you could see it from the moon 👍
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
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.
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
Love seeing you care your bike like female always do on thier beloved .
Went and looked at a 2019 mt09 today. They only had blue and black. Silver and black I think looks much better
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 ....
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 😉👍
Great vid. .you know your way around a bike ✊
So classy! Well done.
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.

Excellent Video!. Love your bike!
Love R&G products. Got all their crash protection. And got their logos all over my 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
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
Solid quality of your videos lately. Good stuff
I'm def gonna use some of these tips to protect mine. Great content. Your voice is soothing asf.
Nice video and great to see you doing mods yourself. It’s a satisfying feeling. Ride safe
A great real world video, good work
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 😟
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 ..
Looks great! I'm just not a fan of the tank pads in clear. Cheers.
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!

Is your hat signed by Marquez? Awesome. I have my marquez replica shoei signed by him..
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 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 vid, but a little bit of thread lock never hurts 😊😊
Great looking bike!
Wow, what a pretty bike - it suits you well =P
Nice job guys! Great looking bike! 👏👍
Have you done the tail tidy video yet? I need that one as the current reg holder is grim.
It's my dream bike! I hope you have a lot of fun with it :)
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.
Hi, would you mind sharing or list down the R&G items that you’ve used for this video? Thank you!
Hey, Great Video, would you mind giving me the link or the site or place at which you ordered these. or can you recommend a place that i could get all of this stuff. Thanks.

Love the vid 👍🏼 makes a nice change from watching guys tinker with bikes lol ...ride safe 👌🏻
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 ✌🏻✌🏻💪🏻
Nice video Chaz. Did I notice that you didn’t use any locktite on the frame sliders or engine cases? Any reason for that?
Doesn't need it. Torque wrench is enough.
Tim Smith I’ve seen them come loose without locktite. But I guess if your happy to keep checking it’s ok.
Ewww those tank pads look horrible. Rest looks good, GJ.
Love the new ride! I’ve heard that Yamaha didn’t do the best job on the seats (brick). How are you finding it?
McTwisty 69 I'm finding it completely fine! Think the 07's one is worse tbh
Hey just wondering if that suspension is that big of a deal or if you got to ride the stock on the regular MT?
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.
Ich would take für the Tank Grips from Yamaha. When comes the exhaust?
Good work bravo✌.
I am french biker 🇫🇷 👍
Is it xmas? nice engine guards. Not keen on the tank stickers. Very good mechanicing - well done. (wheel trims in a bright colour?)
Allan Brown I have something to spice up the wheels but I cant fit til next week. There will be a vid on that too!
Sin miedo 😨 💪 al éxito 🙌
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?
Please do a video on the swingarm plate holder.
Chaz, u have that tail tidy and u live in the UK, doesn’t it rain there a lot? I had one of those on my KTM duke and a rider on the road pulled me over to point at all the mud on my bag and helmet that had flew off the back tire.
Is it an issue or do u not ride when it’s wet out or something? I see lots of UK riders use them. I want to, too.
Thank you.
I dont ride in the wet anymore but when I did used to commute it wasnt too much of an issue but it did flick up a little.
@@PistonHeadChaz thank you for your answer.
I want a mt09!! Love the sound of the triple. These protectors must have cost a bomb. Is there a taller screen available ? I'd miss the fairing to get out of the wind. But looks a great bike
The wind is actually fine you know. I got battered by the wind more on my 07 which is strange.
The Tracer is the perfect alternative for that.
i really love the mt09, how you liking it going from the mt07? also awesome video
How close was it between this and the Speed Triple!? I’m trying to decide the same thing at the moment!
Great video! Looking to add some r&g bits to my bike (2017 mt09). Which torque wrench do you use?
bikerpaul100 Sykes pickervant
PistonHeadChaz thanks!
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
Great video, you'll improve with the ratchets and allen keys with time, you still done a great job ;)
Nice bike
One of my dream
To travel around GUIMARAS ISLAND
cheers....
i got the same covers for the engine part looks good and works well
Just keep them coming..... love the videos.... keep up the great work 😁✌️👍👊🏍️
Loving your videos! I ride a MT09 as well with R&G protection, but I didn’t realise there are two frame sliders each side, are they new?
Harun Judin Nope?
Nice job.. looking good :-)
How are the engine / pump cases after a while ? Got rockchiped / scratched / sandblasted over time ?
As new.
Damn that things got an ohlins shock! That shock is mad expensive !!
They come with it from the showroom
did you use the original engine screws or did they provide you with screws?
That doggo is adorable
I just found your channel i like it. How do you keep your makeup so in place with a full face helmet?? 🤗
Great bike😎 nice video also👏🔥🔥🔥
