    Stock Exhaust Mod

    After my tinkering with and modifying the stock exhaust, I'm happier after spending the $445 for a full Delkevik exhaust, Looks and sounds quite nice.I added a 6" section of ceramic fiber matting around the internal baffle to lower the volume a tad, hit a sweet spot for me. It also retained the...

    Heated Grips Installed

    The 5 amp fuse located on the right front didnt blow, The 2 amp fuse in the main compartment(near battery) is what blew. I was suprized because I thought the front fuse controlled the white GW plug located on the front left side, so why did the fuse labeled "terminal" blow?

    Heated Grips Installed

    Bought the Yamaha Universal Heated Grips and installed on the 2019 MT09. The optional harness made things easy, plugging into the left side off the GW module. Went pretty smooth routing wires to keep it clean, Found out the 2amp "terminal" fuse immediately blows, replaced with 5 amp. The...

    Delkevic-just installed

    I went for the full system with the 8" carbon can. Quick shipping and well packed, Gotta say, nice clean welds and great fit for the money. Directions could have better regarding where and how to install the bracket. Fired it up and took a short spin in the cold, sandy roads...yikes. First...

    Stock Exhaust Mod

    The blue lines are exactly where I cut, leaving the rest alone. I thought of cutting a 2 1/2" hole in the bulkhead that separates the center from the rear chamber but wanted to keep the sound level reasonable. orked well for me.

    2018 MT09 fender eliminator

    i just installed the oem kit on my 2019, The fit and look is a big improvement. Install took much longer than I expected, lots of parts, detailed yet vague directions for the three frame sections. Replacing the axle went easier than I expected. Thank God the horrible lower reflector bar doesnt...

    Ixil XS1 Extreme full exhaust

    Searching I found some old (2015) posts, anyone run this exhaust on their 2018 or 2019 MT09? I like the underbelly design like the OEM. If using, any actual (dyno) or butt-dyno increase in performance? thanks

    Hi all. Just picked up my 2019. 190 enjoyable miles so far. My 41st year of riding, have had pretty much 1 of everything (except HD). First triple since a 2004 Triumph Daytona 600. Hope to share and gain info here. Where the hell are all the comfort seats (at least here in the US)??
