This is like my dad trying to explain how to drive stick and we can smell the fresh clutch im cooking up. This video will make perfect sense in 5 years

dude, you are actually super charismatic, Its fun to watch you!

So good dude! I get my MT09 in a few days so you've got me stoooooooked!

Lmfaoooo 🤣🤣🤣 when you fumbled your words at the end. I received the most genuine laugh. Great video that was super informative and authentic. I’m subscribing 🫡 I also ride a MT09 and I’m gonna try this. Thanks for the different camera angles

Dude, your video has sold me on the MT09 😅

Top video mate just got my mto9 you’re tips have helped me thanks again from Grafton Australia

Great video! Currently I also slowly trying wheelies (on my 701 tho) and it's a lot of fun. The MT09 is such a cool bike and btw the sound is amazing!

this was amazing thanks!

Great video, thank you!

Really helps, picking mine up tomorrow!! Yikes!!

Great Video 👍👌 Best regrads from Germany

The 2024 looks sweet, new headlight, new bigger display, new tank….

You can put traction on while riding, just release trottle.. for turning of you have to stop. Wheelies looking pretty decent buddy.

The fact you have a ruroc and an mt09 as well makes this video a lot more relatable lmao 😅

Thanks!

Hey awesome video man! I'm getting an MT09 next week, just sold my old bike. Can you go through just the ins and outs of the MT09? All the modes, tips, things you wish you knew? How to properly clutch in with that absolute torque machine, what modes/traction stuff to use when starting out, what to use when its raining, when racing, when theres gravel on the road etc etc

Holy moly that’s a lot. Basically the mt09 has 3 riding modes. B mode is the “beginner mode”. It just limits the power delivery. STD mode (standard) will give you all the power in a controlled format. A mode makes your teeth wiggle. The different traction control modes are basically the same. TC 2 will keep both wheels on the ground without breaking traction. TC 1 only keeps one wheel on the ground and will keep the rear week from spinning. TC off is crack monkey mode. I would only use TC off if you want to do wheelies or burnouts otherwise I would just stay in TC 1. I would advise using TC 2 while learning the bike and its power so you don’t have to worry about looping a wheelie. As far as tips and tricks, buying a steering dampener would be good. Also I highly suggest having your ecu flashed when you get a new exhaust. This can also help with the twitchy throttle. I recommend vcyclenut. I found that I actually enjoyed the stock exhaust, but I do think a aftermarket exhaust is better (for sound). Do some research before buying one though. Austin Racing will shoot big flames and sounds amazing;)

just to clarify, those riding modes are for the older generations. The third gen (20-23) has separate 1-4 riding modes that affect the power input from harsh to smooth) and 1-2-manual-off TC modes that you can fiddle with. Riding mode 1 with no TC is literally just asking to flip it, you can do a wheelie even when standing still with it. Riding mode 2 is smoother even with traction control fully turned off. You can also just keep the traction control on, and turn off lift control from the settings.@@slothmoto

Nice

I'm scared to try 😂

I think most people know how to wheelie a powerful bike is going through the gears that's the hard thing.... That said it does say for beginners beginners

Great vid, I’m about to by an mt09, coming from an s1000rr and want to learn to wheelie. One huge request - can you link or name drop your bar end mirror? That’s the look I’m going for but can’t seem to find one anywhere that goes flush with the bar (they go up and out)

1 st gear comes up easy 2 go into a mode get up two 5,000 and give it a quick blip and boom wheelie

Hey nice video and bike. May I ask what these mirros are and are they foldable? I've got MT07 and I'm in a market for a new set of mirrors cuz the stock ones suck and I need foldable ones to get through the traffic eaiser Thanks

Crg arrow mirrors

Just got my 2019 MT09 this winter, coming from 4 years on an R6, before that an R1 and GSXR 750 and by far this is the most comfortable, fun and intimidating bike yet! Coming from a liter bike guy who’s dragged knee before lol I watched your video but didn’t do much as I want to get my frame sliders on after I get a longer allen key. Got the bike, 1st owner said A mode is easy. Yeah, no. That’s anal mode and I call B bitch mode 😅 I use it in B with TCS1 but did A today with TCS off, 3 grand and pull as per your into, it came up!! Tried it again later and it felt like it tugged my weak old fat arms out then came down and went back up. I’ll get more confidence and sliders first. But you’ll get at least 50 more views from me on this one vid lol Had it going with the laptop and my legion go at the parking lot, showing other bros. We kept rewinding, like 10-15 mid experience and noobs commenting and now you’ve taught my friends well. I just need to do it. The R6 I had to twist the nipples off a banshee to get to the powerband, rode like a 250 unless. R1 and gixxer were instant yeet but I’d be going 100 in no time. This is like standing on stilts or the front of a bull then tazing it’s balls 🤣 😳 but trying to hang on Wind deflected helped a lot, not used to no windscreen I now ride using the 2 finger mode after 6 years riding. TLDR, Ty!! Edit.. *Subbed* 👍 Derp! Standard mode it will be now for me lol + light rear brake & roll it out via light steady rev. As well I don’t need to learn the first month. Kk done, ty

well i have the 2022 MT09 SP, and I recently got it flashed (in France, we're not allowed to ride a bike higher than 35KW [47.5hp] for 2 years after u get ur licence, so was mine), and even with ALL the electronics on (TCS 3 and LIF 3), I powered wheelie in mode 3 ("Street Mode")... Now that I have power and torque, I relly want to know how to wheelie, and ur video helped me, so thanks

how is it with the new mt 09 2023? there is a lift control. does that also affect the traction control?

@slothmoto

Lift control is probably to prevent wheelies. So I would turn that off if you plan to wheelie. It shouldn’t affect traction control. But I personally turn both off

@asdfasdf28595

@@slothmotoafaik if lift control is not at its highest level, its easy to do wheelies and the electronic prevents you from rollover, which would make it more simple and secure. would be interesting to know if a trained person could test that and see how it behaves :D i dont want to waste my 10k+$ motorcycle :]

Having a 16 fz09 itll wheelie every gear other than 6th with my weight 150lbs but i can never figure how to do it on command its always an accident when i wheelie it i have wheelied it accidently when racing a friend from 45mph 2nd gear on just power all the way through 5th and set it down at 115mph never replicated doing that again no idea how i did it ...what speed do i clutch it in 2nd to get a wheelie?

@slothmoto

6 ай бұрын

Honestly you could clutch up in second gear at almost any speed. I usually like to be at 30mph or less. Just because you can hold it longer and you have more control. But 115mph is a crazy wheelie.

Any third gear examples?

I always seem to struggle to get it up in second, is that because I haven’t tried without TC, I usually have it on 2… maybe that’s my problem

Yeah if the bike is set to tc 2 then it won’t really come up. It should go up in tc 1 though.

Awesome video. Subbed :) Here's a question. Im getting MT-09 as my first bike next summer. I've heard some people say "dont get it as your first bike". Kinda wondering why. Im a Finn and love speed, but i still use my head and not go full retard, never go full retard :D Secondly, im a tall guy 192 cm so im wondering will this be a problem or comfort issue with this bike?

@slothmoto

As long as you are careful, have self control, and don’t chug an energy drink before you ride, you will probably be fine. Obviously it’s not a great beginner bike though. I would recommend sticking to b mode with traction control on until you become comfortable with how it handles. Honestly b mode is the best mode. A mode is just crack monkey mode. Since you’re on the taller side it should fit better. You will probably be able to flat foot it easily. I’m 175cm and it fits me pretty well.

How do you shift in a wheelie on the mt09

@slothmoto

8 ай бұрын

I’m not the best at it but I tend to shift as the wheel is still going up. If you pull in the clutch to shift while the wheel is going down then it’s much harder to get the wheel to go back up. Since your cutting the power to the rear wheel when you pull in the clutch. Also it’s important to shift while your not at the end of the power otherwise the bike won’t have enough juice to keep going in the new gear. So say you pull a wheelie in second gear. Shift once the wheel reaches the height required to hold it for a while. Then hold it for a little bit as you ride through the gear then shift it in the same way and repeat. As far as the clutch and throttle, it should be a quick pull in and release of the clutch. Be careful with the throttle. Don’t give it extra juice until you let out the clutch again or else you will basically be trying to clutch up a wheelie in a wheelie. I did that once. Thought I was going to die. I suck at explaining things well so sorry if this doesn’t make since.
