    Heavy clutch?

    Upgrade clutch to later model XSR900 slipper clutch. It has only 3 clutch spring rather than the standard 6. I can operate it with one finger. Also update you clutch cable, there is a new version. The bend on the original was too tight. The clutch kit cost about US$200 a few years back. I...

    Help needed with MT09 fairing rivets please

    These can get lost or broken. I go to the dealer and pay a few dollars for each rivet when I need it.

    starter motor failure

    The starter motor can fail due to the return spring on the starter switch being to weak to return. The switch stays on an burns out the motor. Replace the spring with one that is stronger ( $5 from hardware shop with a bit of grinding to make it shorter)

    side stand attachment play

    You can purchase a side stand accessory foot that returns the bike to a more natural parking position and puts less load on the stand pivot point. Also you can park it on grass without looking for a piece of wood. https://www.aliexpress.com/popular/mt09-side-stand.html

    My yamaha mt09 doesn't change modes when i press the drive mode button

    It could be the button. It has a tiny little contact and spring. Also look at changing the starter return spring for a stronger one as the starter switch sticks on after about 30000 km. Also you could get a remap of the ECU so that it starts on A mode straight away.

    Big Hooters !!

    Fitted them both on the sidecover spaces. Used a relay under the seat to drive them. Very loud. Also looks good.

    Big Hooters !!

    I'm thinking of removing the rear foot pegs, installing blanking plates and the 2 piaa horns either side of the bike, using a relay. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

    Uncomfortable MT0-9 Standard Seat.

    Also I do can do about 200 km on my comfort seat in one ride with no problems. I am 62 y.o. with recent open back surgery due to compressed disc pressing on sciatic nerve and limp stopping me changing gears. You just need to go thru the pain barrier. Sent from my GT-I9506 using Tapatalk

    Uncomfortable MT0-9 Standard Seat.

    I got a comfort seat. It looks better than the standard "plank of wood" and there may be a bit of placebo that makes you feel better. Also i got the standard seat in the top of my wardrobe as a back up. So i don't feel bad. I paid about $250 aus for the comfort seat Sent from my GT-I9506 using...

    New 2017 MT-09 Engine problem?

    The Mt-09 has 3 problems. 1. The mixture is set lean to meet emission standards. 2. Engine brake is excessive. This can be fixed with an ECU flash. 3. Throttle bodies go out of sync within a few thousand kms. This can be fixed by setting them yourself. I use a carbtune device. Youtube videos...
