MT09 Base Model vs MT09 SP Edition

- In this Video I go over why I went from a 2021 Yamaha MT09 Base model to a 2022 Yamaha MT09 SP.
I recently sold my 2018 R1 and my 2021 Yamaha MT09 base model to get this bad boy and trust me I do not regret it at ALL! Watch to find out why.
I just wish they made the sp in more colours
Instant sub, loved the video!🤌 Ordered my 24 Mt09 Sp the 6th of april and cannot wait to rip the throttle through the twisties!🎉❤
After waiting over a year, mine was assembled at the dealership today. Now getting quotes to have it shipped. I'll be riding the same roads as you. Lakeshore
SP all the way! Just got to wait forever for one here in the states
I have been riding 43 years and many long trips and have never got sore/tired hand syndrome from the throttle. When I'm on stretches where throttle speeds vary only slightly the throttle is held/controlled 90% by light pressure from the palm with fingers relaxed. I have the sp (it's great) but am certain I would be happy with the base model knowing I was trading off superior cornering control for a softer more comfortable ride quality that is better for the majority of relaxed ride mode. Always trade-offs.
If I use my palm it cuts the blood flow in my hand and it goes numb.
FYI: CC can be cancelled in many different ways. EX: brakes, the on/off button on left hand side or rolling the throttle slightly forward. And the CC is a god-send for long riding, which is my current application for my SP. :)
Thank you bro. I will try all then out. Ride safe!
@@yamayari8351 you as well!
Love my 09 SP..Thanks for the video
Upgrading from my 2022 mt03, currently looking the best deal for a mt09 sp, congrats!
You done well as there is no comparison between that base model, and the SP!
Some of the cheapest made "adjustable" forks I've ever torn apart. Ditto for the rear shock. I upgraded mine to the Andreani front, ktech razor r rear and it is much better but still not as good as the sp.
Because the forks are so long there is no easy swap from a gsxr or zx10.
Both of which have in the past used the same fork design on the sp.
I weigh 200 w full gear and it was dangerously soft in the front. Not many online testers have mentioned this for some reason.
You are 100% correct about the finish as well. The base Raven black looks like it was sprayed with dollar store spray black.
I was so disappointed I picked the bike up at dealer I brought it straight home, tore it down and refinished it in the storm fluo colors.
And no, oem cruise control can't be added to the base model without spending several grand (even if parts are available through Yamaha)
I really wish I'd waited and found an sp for that reason alone.
Anyone following this channel on the fence about which model to buy, the sp is worth every penny over the base model.
It will also hold its value better down the road because the base model suspension gives out very quickly.
Ride safe, and keep the great content coming!!!
Excellent read. Thank you for the great feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed the channel and I’m happy that we share some things in common. Definitely would only get an SP moving forward. So much worth it. Ride safe and thank you for watching again.
@@yamayari8351 I contemplated selling my base model for an SP until I rode a friends. TBH…I didn’t like it on the street. I’m a light guy so @ 150lbs with gear on the suspension was just too stiff for normal street riding. I’d have to end up swapping springs to adjust the rate anyway so I decided to keep my base model and get a custom tuned suspension for my specs. Ohlins just released the blackline version of the SP rear shock and it can be setup from the factory with rider specific springs and valving. I still love the all black version of the bike so I’d like to keep that theme. As far as cruise control, I have zero interest on a bike like the MT. That’s just me and to each their own but when I ride this bike, the fun of it is feeling the torque from twisting the throttle. I’ve done some pretty long weekend rides and never had my hands tire out enough to justify wanting that feature. Happy to see you loving your new SP though! It really is a great bike 🤘🏼
@@Average_D thank you 🙏 I was almost just going to upgrade my suspension. But I really wanted the SP. So why not lol thank you for your feedback. Makes sense to me. Ride safe.
Daily rode a 2017 base mt09 for 4 years, never really found the suspension an issue and it stayed strong through multiple slams from wheelies and offroading. Only time I found the suspension lacking was when hitting a pothole mid-turn and things would get hairy. Not sure why people lose their mind over the base suspension. Skill issue maybe?
@@DB-sd3cw 🤣🤣🤣Regular street Rossi huh... Ask Micheal Neeves, or any other pro level rider and they will say the same thing, especially that piece of crap suspension and chassis on the previous gen MT/FZ.
You obviously haven't never ridden a bike with proper suspension (especially on a technical track with lots of suspension loading) to compare it to. If you had you would know, and you damn sure wouldn't be mouthing off on something or to someone you know nothing about...
Great video, new SUB here, love the content and your bike🔥 keep up the great work my friend👍
Thank you 🙏 means a lot to me. Ride safe.
Greetings from ireland ,it looks beautiful over there.great review again.
I have SP 2021 and love the suspension. Here in Sweden Öhlins is a big brand because it,s built here. Ride safe and enjoy your new bike.
Never new that! I would love to visit Sweden one day for sure! Beautiful Country and people.
I don't know how you got your hands on an SP model
Can’t wait to ride that one. Looks fun!!
You can also turn off your cruise control by rolling the throttle forward too
It's funny how you can carry guns and smoke weed in America, but you can't filter on a bike.. 😂
Lol soooo true!
I was torn between the 9 SP & 10 SP, the 9 rides phenomenally well (even the base model), but went for the 10 for the noise 🤤
Lol I can understand that.
I agree with you about the cruise control. I know you live in Florida but I'm looking for some heated grips but I'm looking for a plug and play grips. I only have the base model 2021. If you or anyone knows where I can purchase some I'd appreciate it very much cuz I live in Ohio and weather is off and on here. One day it's 78, next day could be snowing Soo... LOL 😂
Hey buddy great channel could you do the video on the suspension and settings for you please as I have one and im same weight as you just don't know enough about it to fine tune it to me . Thanks keep it you and stay safe 👌
Will do. I’m a try to get fitted in January for sure.
Great video. What windscreen do you have on it and can you send photo of it?
More videos please
Should do a walk around video.
Can you disable the ABS on the Sp model? Because you CANNOT on base model.
if i get the a2 restricted version do you think i can derestrict it when i get my bigger license?
Yari please check out Dave Moss Tuning for suspension setup. He's a master and offers remote suspension tuning help. It would make awesome content and a win-win for both of your channels.
Contact Dave Moss. I'm from Portugal and he's Australian. We video chat and he remote tuned my suspension to perfection. The bike felt completely different (night and day different) . Really worth the shot!
Did he tune your base model or sp? Do you mind sharing what he charged you for the consultation?
@@vishnunair2823 I have a 21 SP. I think it was like 80 bucks. Worth every penny!
If we are the same weight, would you be willing to share your Dave Moss suspension settings? I'll pay you..
How is the MT09 for taller riders? I've never had a sport bike before, but I'm 6' 3", and I'm looking for a comfortable ride. Would the MT09 be a good bike for someone that is taller?
These types of bikes are made for taller guys or guys with back problems they have a more upright position it's alot more comfortable
Okay, I have to ask... what adjustments did you do to the suspension of your base model MT-09?
I have the base model and I found the bike a little too soft on stock settings.
So I gave the rear 1 notch more on the preload and 1/4 turn in on the rebound.
It has made the bike more stable and confidence inspiring in the corners without totally ruining the ride comfort.
Haven’t touched the front.
I weigh about 190 lbs.
I honestly only adjusted the front suspension half a turn on the base model tighter. The back was stock.
Hai brother cruise control is awesome, can I modified it for normal Yamaha mt09 V3 2022?
You'll have more success with just buying an SP. You would need a new ECU, controls, and possibly a new wire harness from the SP.
no...
YamaYari,
Did you consider the new XSR900 before you bought the MT-09 SP?
Yes I did! Truthfully ❤️ looks GREAT!
No lane filtering in America but can own a machine gun...😂😂...bizarre. Lane filtering legal in Australia.
It’s state by state. Europeans always have something to say when they don’t know anything about what they are talking about. Maybe read the federalist papers or something else so you can understand how a place works before looking really ignorant.
Is it correct that you can get a gun at 18 but not a can of beer ? 🤣
@@benalcorn9661 yeah we can own firearms at 18. It’s so weird that you think that that’s a negative. Like you clapped back stating that you have less rights than someone in America lol. It is stupid that the drinking age is 21 though. Hey must be nice though the the United States government practically subsidizes all of Europe’s defense budgets. You should thank the average American 👍👍
I live in Florida too and the r6 kinda sucks for town and these straight roads. Thinking about trading in on a 2023 mt09 this weekend 🤔 can’t decide tho as I love the front end on my r6.
An R6 is a great bike! I would try to keep both if I could lol
@@yamayari8351 sadly not an option. I love it. Just sucks in traffic and around town😂. And mad uncomfortable
@@RynoDinero lol yup! I feel that!!!
@@yamayari8351 do u regret selling the r1? I barely have put 500 miles on my r6 in a year that’s another reason I’m thinking it’s Time to get the mt
@@RynoDinero actually yes. I loved that I had the best of both worlds. If I could do over I would have kept the 2021base and kept the R1 for sure!
It's not an öhlins rear damper, it's licensed by öhlins, totally different part
It has öhlins rear shock shocks, if that's what you mean by "rear damper". Every official yamaha website says it's öhlins so I not sure what you're on about.
@@quintosh , you'll find out when you do a service on the damper
So can't the mt 09 2021 hav al that the mt 09 2022 hav 🤔
Yes if you upgrade the suspension, but it can never have the cruise control.
Come on Yari, we all know the truth. You bought the the SP because your HyperPro steering dampner didnt match the base model. 😆
Good stuff as always my friend.
Lol 😂 maybe lol
Wtf was that excel clip loll... you don't know how to twist the wrist?
No, I’m a scrub,,,,,,, lol I got to work on Monday! Ride safe Max Wrist
De moto mesmo não vi nada o cara só falo blá blá blá blá blá ,7 minutos jogado fora
Gracias 🙏
