Really good looking bike. Love the mods. Been looking into buying one of these. Thanks for the good ideas.

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.

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.

What has happened when you "modded" the bikes?

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.

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

One day I'll make it over to Eastern WA! I have a GSXS 1000 and love it. A lot of my buds have the fz bikes. Keep up the videos man!

You've been a great help great video keep up the great work

Dope bike, love the mods.

Beautiful looking motorcycle. Nice work my man. Ride safe.

Damn I love this bike. I can't wait to get into one. The price for the performance is unbeatable

Dude I love what you did with everything on your bike......everything

Nice FZ! I love my '17 I picked up new back in the beginning of July.

Great video man!

Really clean & beautiful 👍🏼

2 videos in 2 weeks! Some may even call that a schedule!!

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. 😅

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???

I love the stock handlebar .

Amazing looking bike, whered you get the white decals on the air intake?

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.

Nice bike 😍

Good video I’m going to get one fz09

What you think about the z900 in comparison??

Love it, wouldn't change it for a thing, most used words

Where did you get those tank grips? I really like them!

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

Anyone done the digital guard dawg electronic ignition mod

Case protectors Bro Case protectors. I got some DOPE T-Rex case protectors on my FZ 07

Had exact same bike modded too, 32,000k no problems. Most fun street bike ever. No assist garbage too traction control, abs…. Real bike.

Sweet bike. I like the white windscreen. I bet it's fun cleaning those wheels though.

Man, I need to get me one of these! Solid video man. Have you had any major issues since this video?

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!

hey i like the fly screen too , cleans up the finish

That white is so damn sick!!!

Yooo is that the river road 😮😮 never thought I see a vlogger in Spokane 😬🫡🫡

nice bike man

I think the screen looks sick with the white wheels man 👍 planning to trade In my MT 07 next year for the SP and mod from there 😉 I have the black widow on my MT 07 and it sounds awesome without the baffle 😂

throttle control and rear break correct?

Your fz got me to your vlog man, I love it and agree with a lot you said. And you sold me on that Black Widow pipe. Use their site, low price and super fast shipping, like 3 days from UK! Yummy

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

tires?! theyre the biggest mod :/ airfilter/sparkplugs and maybe talk about a tune if you got a new exhaust? i like it tho

Do you run without a license plate light?

damn that bike is fire

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.

how many miles per gallons do you get? thank you!

THANK you , good video . i go a 2020 MT 09

Love this bike,where can I get they handlebar mirror who makes them 👌👍

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!

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.

Im at 6k miles on my 2016 fz09. Not one hiccup yet. also this was my first street bike - came from trail riding.

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.

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.

Great video dude, tons of really important info. I had a STR but want a bit more power,i had my eye on the mt for a while, i will have to budget for the mods or get the SP model.Is the engine as smooth in feel as the Triumph?

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.

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.
