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.
Really good looking bike. Love the mods. Been looking into buying one of these. Thanks for the good ideas.
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!
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
Beautiful looking motorcycle. Nice work my man. Ride safe.
Dope bike, love the mods.
You've been a great help great video keep up the great work
Nice FZ! I love my '17 I picked up new back in the beginning of July.
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?
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. 😅
Great video man!
That's one sexy bike! Nice choice on the mods!
perfect dude! greetings from greece!
That bike is beautiful. Freaking love it. I want one.
Really clean & beautiful 👍🏼
2 videos in 2 weeks! Some may even call that a schedule!!
Nice work with the white wheels. Looks great.
riding where i grew up. not much has changed! im looking at getting one of these as my first street bike.
hey man love the channel keep it up bro!! if I wasn't all the way in CT I would say we gotta ride some time haha take care man! keep the vids coming.
Where in CT are you from? Just curious, I live in florida now, but I was born and raised in New Britain.
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.
I love the stock handlebar .
I THINK U MADE UR BIKE AS BEAUTIFUL AS IT CAN GET. SPECIALLY THE RED AND WHITE CONTRAST, TAIL AND SILENCER. GOOD JOB. THE BEST MT 09 I'VE EVER SEEN.
WHY ARE YOU YELLING lol
Man, I need to get me one of these! Solid video man. Have you had any major issues since this video?
Sweet bike. I like the white windscreen. I bet it's fun cleaning those wheels though.
nice bike man
Good video I’m going to get one fz09
Great job, Blake.
Richard Woodworth thank you!
Case protectors Bro Case protectors. I got some DOPE T-Rex case protectors on my FZ 07
Yooo is that the river road 😮😮 never thought I see a vlogger in Spokane 😬🫡🫡
hey i like the fly screen too , cleans up the finish
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
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 😂
damn that bike is fire
Nice bike 😍
I love the white windshield tbh mate
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
Thanks man! Hope you enjoy the sweet sound of that exhaust 🤤
That white is so damn sick!!!
Love it, wouldn't change it for a thing, most used words
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
Amazing looking bike, whered you get the white decals on the air intake?
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!
I love the plate placement and we do this also over here but if you have it cops pull you over on a daily
Where did you get those tank grips? I really like them!
THANK you , good video . i go a 2020 MT 09
tires?! theyre the biggest mod :/ airfilter/sparkplugs and maybe talk about a tune if you got a new exhaust? i like it tho
Had exact same bike modded too, 32,000k no problems. Most fun street bike ever. No assist garbage too traction control, abs…. Real bike.
very nice bike
I bought a 2006 R1 3 weeks ago and it gets damn hot fans kick in at 220. Next thing it's blown it's gaskit or a cylinder ring. Don't bother with them if you plan to be in traffic or any periods on and off.
Nice bike
How did you get the mirror to clamp onto the handle bars there? I thought the handlebars are 22mm in diameter and bar-end clamps are 20mm inside diameter.
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.
awesome looking bike! ive recently traded my bandit 600; in for a MT09 and love it.
robert reach great choice! You’re going to love it
ShakeNBlake yes, its a great bike damn quick, light as feather! stay safe , peace, u.k biker.
What's your height and the specs on the bar? Width,rise,aweep
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.
Subbed. Nice to see someone from in town, i ride a fz6 and grom.
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???
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.
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!
Nice!!
Spokane for life!
Sold my FZ09 after I've added my mods to the point I realized that I'm trying to turn it into a SS. Bought a CBR600RR instead. I miss the FZ though because it was fun.
I went the other way haha, sold my cbr600rr for a 2018 MT09 (UK)
ive got a cbr600rr and want the fz 09 lol I want the power down low and have something thats comfy
@@ridingwithsam sold my cbr600rr pc37 two weeks ago to buy a FZ/MT 09 (German guy here) :D
Did you install the handlebar yourself? if so, did you do any trimming on the length? and how are you liking the riding position overall with them on?
if you’re getting pro taper handlebar then you’ll have to trim the length will have to put threads on it by yourself.

Love this bike,where can I get they handlebar mirror who makes them 👌👍
What you think about the z900 in comparison??
I love the stock handlebars , also put 2000 miles each month. Prior to this I had cbr1000rr
Same bro. Your the perfect person to ask if I should get FZ-09. Because I have CBR 1000 right now and I'm not very sure if fz is that powerful for canyons and harder riding
@@chaytonthesatan fz09 will power wheelie in 1st and 2nd gear. I dont even ride it in A mode. If you plan to ride in canyons put it in B mode aka slow mode. A mode throttle response is abrupt, same goes for standard mode. Just for this fact cbr1000rr will be faster in canyons because that bike has smooth throttle response.
Do you run without a license plate light?
What's good bro how's it Going? Bike running good still?
Planning to pick me up a Mt07 next month! Can't wait. Then I'll pick up a r6 in a couple years then a Mt09.. maybe a used fz09 that's modded already. I see where your coming from on that. I just want to mod put my mt07 myself.
Ride Safe Keep Braapppin!
Did you end up getting the MT07?
Started riding on a 2014 fz09. No traction control, no ABS and tons of torque. I want get a new bike but after starting on the 09 I’m worried that no matter what I get it won’t be as fun..
So you got expencive ass mirrors but you cheaped out on how you sop and shift?
what type of handle bars do you have? can you send me a link?
Yeah I bought my 2015 and 2015 and then I've almost put 30,000 miles on it and I've loved every single one of them best bike in the world
Considering this bike. How much do you weigh?
Great video if people want the black widow exhaust go to their website and order they are UK based and they may do shipping
i got mine in a week and it came from uk to ny.
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?
how many miles per gallons do you get? thank you!
Bike is sweet bro! White accent is nice!!!
SP 5 thank you!
Hey man, where did you get the white side tank stickers that say ‘YAMAHA’ with the three white screen below?
Cheers
They were actually custom made. I don't believe you can buy them anywhere unfortunately
@@ShakeNBlake509 damn.. cheers though mate
Anyone done the digital guard dawg electronic ignition mod
throttle control and rear break correct?
Hey man! Can you tell me where you bought the grips and the handlebar (and de size of it)! Thanks
Grips i bought at a local moto shop. the bar i bought online. just look up the Protaper Carmichael bend 1-1/8' bar
Gonna look up for that! Those grips are something... Love the look on them. Thanks man!
That mirror is from eBay right? Can u link it?
New sub here!
Arnel ??? Eyyy! Thanks for the sub!
I'm looking to get a mt09sp hopefully the suspension is good enough to not have to mod it.
The suspension will be fine. Have the suspension adjusted properly and it's a competent bike. People over react about the suspension. The 2017-2018 front suspension is better then the 2014-2016
Nice bike man I've just bought the mt07 2019 model
SCOTTYDP77 I’m about to start taking my licence. Got my eyes on the mt07 too. Let me know how you like it 👌🏼
@@benjaminjensen3196 it's awesome tones or torque very smooth ride
@@benjaminjensen3196 I've just recently changed my bike gone bigger and bought the mt09sp
SCOTTYDP77 that one is a bit scary I’ve heard. Got to push it a bit, yet?
@@benjaminjensen3196 the 09 is definitely a hooligan bike a bit twitchy on front end though but I would say I've made a great choice
dude where do you live? it looks amazing
Washington state
Bought my "used" 2017 FZ-09 in Aug,2018 and I have only put on 200 miles so far ! LOL
Link of the mirrors?
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.
@@exothermal.sprocket I'll agree to disagree, I have also owned a lot of bikes over the years. Including a 14 FZ-09 for 3 years now. I'm not saying the bike has the best suspension out there. 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. To say stop telling people that the suspension is fine is very ignorant. Best of luck to you, ride safe!
Outside of the 10 bikes I've owned, I've ridden over 50 others of all genres from various brands. Stock MT-09 suspension is trash. Trash spring rate, trash damping circuits, trashy control when underway. You can disagree if you like.
@@exothermal.sprocket the 17 and newer MT 09 has adjustable front and rear, so you either didn't set it up properly, or it wasn't a newer model.
really clean wheels and engine. Only been out on clear sunny days?
Gregory LaGrange I take pride in keeping my bike clean! As well as I don’t enjoy riding in crap weather so usually no rain if possible
@@ShakeNBlake509 It shows. What you use to lube the chain with? There's not any signs of that on swing arm or rear wheel.
I use Motul chain lube. I love it because it doesn't fling everywhere
@@ShakeNBlake509 thanks. I'll look into that.
i have the same exhaust for my mt 09 fully recomended ...
Akrapovic
Yoshimura
Graves
Arrow
Two Brothers
M4
Also come fully recommended.
I need to change my suspension it’s awful when stock
Wind screen looks great, don't worry about the haters. Opinions are like assholes everybody has one.
GET AN ECU FLASH already.
Vcyclenut seems to be the most cost effective from my personal research.
Woah youre in spokane?
If you love it so much why you only put 2k miles per year on it?
Bob Saggot we can only ride 6 months out of the year here...
