Hello everyone. I took delivery of MT09 2 weeks ago. I love it to bits. I have ordered the softer seat and also the fly screen. Next will be an exhaust system. I think this bike is awesome. I do have 1 question for you all. Does any of you find it very noisy when trying to cruise on 100km/hr? I think it is high pitched intake noise. If i sit on 100km/h in 5th gear its fine but in 6th it's very annoying. If i cruise on 115km/h and over it's fine.
My race blue mt09

congratulations. have fun (=
its the the way to gears mesh that create that sound i think. someone else on here has said that to.
at 100km 5th is more suitable than 6th. basically if it makes that high pitch sound, go down a gear.

The whine should decrease over time .

You won't hear it with your new exhaust

Yep agree the whine eventually disappears. Whether it really does or whether it just becomes background white noise I've still to work out but I don't hear it anymore.

everything in your gearbox is bedding in it should decrease after first oil change and keep decreasing over time.
A little valve grinding paste will speed up that bedding in time
How do people find the aerodynamic noise at the 150-180 kmh range?

Depends what helmet I wear Stealth
If I have my full face Suomi on it's pretty quiet in there (it's very plush!!)
With the Moto-x helmet n goggles (or my new cheapo lidl flip up)! I have to wear earplugs
As a nekked bike it's always going to be noisy up there in the wind- it's all about the helmet

I remember on my old FZ-1 that the mirrors were a source of turbulence and thus created buffet/helmet noise. That was the sort of thing I had in mind rather than the quietness of the helmet as such.itself.

Got you- I wouldn't say there was any real source of ( as James May would say) "Buffeting, Buffeting....."
Wind is pretty much full on at anything over 80mph (on a private test track/ closed road officer)
