PIER CITY CYCLES TOP 6 - BMW R9T PERFORMANCE MODS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 сер 2024
- Welcome to the Pier City Cycles Top Six Series. In these videos, we hope to be able to share our knowledge of having worked on the RnineT and R18 machines extensively over the past decade or so.
In this video Stu discusses our current top six favourite performance modifications to the R9T. These range from great, affordable quick wins to big ticket items which will help your bike handle like a dream. These are our opinions based on working on the R9T platform every day, but are by no means a be-all and end-all of parts that can improve your bike. This is by no means an exhaustive list, and new parts are available all the time, but it gives a great overview on how to get the most out of your Beemer. One obvious omission to this list is Tyres, we will be aiming to do a tyre talk in another video because there are so many considerations to make.
If you have any other tips, feel free to add them in the comments below - we're always interested in new ideas and products to help improve these great motorcycles..

Completely agree with all mods having had them done but changed my wheels to wunderlich before that was amazing nearly crashed for a month until I could recalibrate the lighter wheels
Great video Stu, time to book the Scrambler in for some more Pier City love 👍🏻
The overall quality of the videos and info on this channel are outstanding m, I hope to see you guys get bigger
They'd need to adjust their suspension if they get bigger!🙃
This is the best channel on UA-cam 🎉
Great video. I commute with my bike. I don't ride in heavy rain but sometimes weather is something not for me to control. with the exposed air filter, can it still work if it rains? or it is not the best option for a commuter?
Guys I've been following the content closely,amazing content... I would like to build a nine t into a megamoto style bike😊. Question regarding lifting the suspension with andreani cartridgeges?! 50mm raise can that be done on the nine t forks?

I'm interested in doing the air box modification. The two biggest and most valuable upgrades I've done to the my '22 scrambler are the leather Unit Garage seat and Wilbers shock. My bike is completely different and better than it was originally.
Wilbers shock hard or cush?
@@jackolbean4765 It's the Blackline edition. There wasn't a cush/hard option. They just ask what your weight w/gear is and type of riding you do and it came set up perfectly for me. It's not hard and jolting like the OEM but it's not spongy either. It just soaks up bumps while being responsive.
@@footfeathers how much was it?
Hello, I would like to know if you need to do some engine tuning if you change the airbox to the filter cones? thank you
What is your opinion about installing fans for the oil radiator to control the temperature when it is very hot in city traffic, regards
Es un problema bastante grande, yo tengo que parar cuando alcanza los 125 grados.
Thanks for the tips.
I am not at all happy with my racers front or rear end suspension…
Might give you guys a call sometime
J’adorerais voir écouter ça en français😊
is that posible to increase engine size to 1300cc with parts from other boxers from bmw like gs 1300?
Excellent list of mods, thanks guys... was a bit surprised tyres weren't included in the list though. How much for this package implementation ( without the removal of the old airbox) I wonder? I think youd get a lot of business if that was a standard package. All of this is less than a days job too. ( Guys your internet and videos game is on point, well done)
We'll be doing tyres as it's own video because there is so much to pack in.
It maxe me wonder why BMW don't pick up on some of these things and offer them as options. Maybe it would put the price up and people off buying in the first place. One other thing, I've seen several vids where comments are made like it's not a scrambler. Driving around in my Suzuki Wagon and going over or around potholes I think it's perfectly suitable for our roads.
Interesting with good information. What is your opinion about adding an exhaust heat wrap? Does it improve performance? Cheers
Nope, it's just aesthetic. If anything, the bike will run hotter and get a bit sooty but nothing to worry about.
What tyres are on that bike
Hi mate, those are the Dunlop Mutants... our favourite all purpose tyre for year round use. Big Recommend!
@@PierCityCustom Im also running Mutants. Love them.
A year has passed since this posting, is there now data to confirm the claims?
Have you guys, or anyone, actually done some comparative dyno runs with/without the rapidbike Evo? Does it actually increase HP or torque?
I like to know as well
me too. nothing on rapidbike site makes me doubt.
Thanks for the tips. Are there links to these upgrades?
Yes, in the video description.
Can I do that rear shock upgrade to the low version of the r ninet?
Does ECU need to be modified if upgrade the DNA filters?
Your watch is too good
Does the Wilber rear shock give a cush ride? My '22 Pure hits like a brick over every pothole. How would you compare to TFX? I've heard Ohlins are a little more track oriented, your thoughts? What front forks / kit? Thanks!
Treat yourself to a Nitron shock made to your weight. Its night and day difference between the oem shock. They do fork internals as well.
If you haven't done it already, I would love to see a "top comfort mods"video. I have an r ninet pure, and by upper back and shoulders are screaming after about an hour. I think it's either the reach or width of the bars, but I hate to throw money at fixing that until I know what causes the pain
Edit: BTW, I love your videos!
That would depend also on your personal ergonomics arm body leg length etc
@@drmengawyong true. Makes it kind of difficult to get advice. I never had this problem on other bikes, and I love the bike other than that.
@@robertstimmel1100 yes but you can have someone look at your posture Whilst seated on the bike . I corrected a lot of wrist aches by adjusting brake clutch levers . Eg if u have shortish arms u will be leaning so bar risers will help etc
@@mengaw-yong2490 that's a pretty good idea. I do almost all of my riding solo, but I could probably take it to the dealership and ask for suggestions.
@@robertstimmel1100 don’t bother with dealers a medic chiropractor with An idea of posture can help sit on the bike adjust your elbows wrists see what is most comfortable see if lowering your feet helps your posture it depends on your own flexibility if u r near london I can help
Should put a graphic up with each point to say the cost.
I did headders (CAT delete) airfilter, end can + power commander with dial in on a Rolling road on that engine…. Not worth the money. On other engines you will get a huge return… but not on this one😢. Save your money and time.
if you wanna really get the rninet going you should consider a 1300ccm big bore kit or even go 1400ccm if you have a good amount of money lying around. with the 1300ccm kit i am currently at 133hp and 140Nm it rips your arms out, with 1400ccm you will see both these numbers above 150 but the price/value ratio is not really worth it.
im wondering why you 2 rninet gods have never mentioned this mod or made it in any of you builds that i know of
What company and where are they located? I'm trying to find a company willing to ship to the US.
@@jsinclair39 i cant sadly give you a vendor that sells you a kit for self install, i got it done at a tuners workshop
How come no one ever talks about changing the cam with these motors like Harley owners do with every Harley motor??
Good question! Engine performance parts are more readily available for Harley Davidsons than they are for the BMW R9t platform - trust us, we have tried looking for our race bike!
All for the environment with washable air filter, but remove the catalytic converter.
my only fuss with this video, is that there is a lot of, 'we can't give you numbers/specifications'. The issue is that you guys are selling this stuff, so it will be seen as bias. If you want someone to spend this amount of money on a upgrades then undoubtedly there needs to be actual performance numbers.
You can contact all manufacturers for specifics, whether it be brands we retail or otherwise. If we don't quote figures is generally because we don't want them to be out of date/incorrect a while after we have published the video
Having had lots of work done by pcc I can honestly say there is no hard sell with them they are bike enthusiasts and genuine guys
Mate, I have all of the mods (except wheels). I have a 2015 with Akrapovic titanium headers, flapper valve delete, SC muffler, DNA filter, Power Commamder 5, custom mapped on the dyno, and I got 111.28hp at the rear wheel. Hope this helps.
I don't beleive that airbox removal is better, you're losing all the ram air effect!
Hewow and wewcome! These guy will say they speak english 😂
Honestly, we have just as much trouble understanding Stu as you do...!
It would be nice too put bike between you and camera.
when u said ".. also helping out the environment.. " I almost flip over while trying to press the unsub icon....
please.... love your channel.. .but never is metal rubber petrol oil gonna be a friend of the current "environment" thingy... no greta thunderbirds are watching bike making...
You are for the green bennefits of using a DNA filter…. And you recomend getting rid of the CAT 🫣😖
