I’m brand new. I just bought this bike. The dealer said don’t bother with mode 4 just start on mode 3. And I started on mode 3. When I hit 4th gear 5000 rpm it scared me shitless. Went back to mode 4 lol.
The day I bought my 09 i was very nervous, I’ve been riding bikes low cc for more than 10 years. Anyway that day i was very nervous and something happened with the insurance policy so I couldn’t take it with me. That night i felt sad/anxious and i found your channel. Man you literally saved my life. I watched this video and you gave me a hugeee advice. The day after i picked up the bike and the guy who sold the bike to me. Told me to drive it in Mode 1 and i was like “bro wtf”. He said: “i thought u wanted to have fun”. Literally if it wasn’t because i watched your video idk what would have happened! Thanks man 🫂👍🏻
When I bought the bike in the middle of December I drive it home in mode 4. I was a little nervous and didn’t know what to expect. I’m not a new rider but new again and only recently in the last yea or so gotten on my bros cbr 650f and lighter rides on his R6. I have my bike on mode 3 now but tried mode 2 by accident. Lol. The front wheel came up some when I opened it up but was more surprised than nervous. When I looked down I saw I must have hit the mode by accident. I still ride it on three but going to change that after my 600 mile service which I’m 3 miles away from. I have to say for me, mode 4 was like that cbr 650f but with more torque. I’ll be waiting a minute before drive mode 1 but I’ll get there. I’m smart enough to drive within my limits. Stay safe and great video.
Bro that’s a great statement. I always tell people to ride their own ride. I’ve been in so many group settings were people are trying to keep up with more aggressive riders and go out of their limits. Unfortunately at times there are accidents and they could have easily been avoided if they just rode at their pace. Great feedback and thanks for the amazing post. Ride safe as always my brother. Thank you again for watching the channel.
@@nycmt09sp41 Hey NYC. Was living in Staten Island,NY but moved to North Fort Myers Florida back in the middle of December. Finally found the bike here and purchased it. I have 597 miles on the bike now and bringing it for it’s first service next week. Having so much fun with her. You take care and stay safe.
Putting a deposit on a ‘22 MT09 as my first bike hopefully this week, thanks for explaining the new safety features, because a lot of past posts are like “do not get this bike if you’re new to bikes”
This video was super helpful, thank you. I have a good amount of experience with dirt bikes, fast electric motorcycles, fast cars etc and was looking at the 2022 XSR900 as my first bike. With all of the changes for 2022, it’s very similar to the 2022 MT09 and has all the same tech. A few people have suggested I get the MT07 instead, but this video pretty clearly shows that mode 3/4 are limited enough that I could easily use those to grow into the bike over the first year. Doesn’t make sense to me to buy a bike you know you’ll need to sell and replace in a year, when you can just drop your mode and basically ride a 600cc until you’re ready.
Thank you for watching. I did the same a few years back. Bought a smaller bike. With in a year I upgraded 2 times lol so better to go a little bigger and grow into it. Unless money is no object lol thank you for watching the Channel and for the great feed back. Means a lot! Ride safe 🙏
This is the video that anyone who thinks to buy this bike should watch, i haven’t find a video that explain it as clearly as this. I just bought a 2023 and a left the dealership in mode 2 that shit was crazy (fun, but scary as 💩 ) I think I would stay in mode 3 for a time. 💨🔥. Thanks for this excellent video 👊✊
Hopefully this gets a bit of attention but for the Yamaha system, the higher the number the more tame the setting. The lowest setting is the most aggressive for everything whether it's 1 for drive mode or off for everything else. Drive mode 4 is the most tame, tcs, abs or lift control level 2 is the most tame.
Great video as always. I moved from a scooter Honda ADV150 to the MT 09 and I felt so great. First motorbike ever. It's so much fun if ride safely. The 2021 model in Brazil riding at TCS2 and Mode2(D4) feels so safe even at high speeds. I got a steering damper from Matris for extra safe and I keep hitting the gas. NoFear! All the best mate!
Great feed back! An thank you for confirming that in D4 mode this 2021 MT09 can be a first motor bike for anyone. Thank you for watching and ride safe. Dampener is what I want next. And a flash.
Such a good video, straight to the point and well explained. Thanks man. Was indecisive between street triple 675/765, mt09 and mt07 and I think I’ll have to go for the 09. I’ve owned a cb500 and mt03 before so not a complete noob.

You can actually hear the difference between the drive modes. This new technology is crazy. Still have yet to ride a newer bike. My 04 cbr1000rr doesn't even have abs. So have no clue how any of these new bikes feel.
So my 2006 GSXR 1000 was the same. Just raw power and you control everything! But I will tell you. This new IMU system is crazy! Feels so so so good. And your right. You can definitely here the difference. Thank you for your input. An for watching 🙏
@@yamayari8351 I'm looking to purchase a 2022 MT09 not a sp model and I'm wondering if the regular 2022 MT09 has a quick shifter and wheelie control? I could hear the difference between the different modes but for the wheelie control available? If so is the cruise control and suspension the only difference between MT09SP and MT09? Thanks for any info.
Thank you for this! I have to drive to home the new MT 09 I’m picking up tomorrow and was concerned because the dealer is in the city and was intimidated of how jerky the bike could be. Mode 4 looks smooth tho so that gave me peace of mind
I bought a new gen '21 mt09 after having a '18 mt09 that had another $8k invested in it when I bought it. Yes, another $8k! Of course that included top of the line K-Tech suspension front and rear. In hindsight, I wish I would have spent the extra cash for the sp. Of course anything was going to be a step down after that spectacular '18 I had. I found a '18 mt10 with 1k on it, essentially new. I immediately put on a yosh 3/4 system and had David at Vcyclenut flash accordingly. All I can say is what a beast! The mt09 is still stock as I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it. Figure at least $1k for an exhaust, $300 for flash and I'd rather pay the guy that does it all day on the labor. So, you're close to $2k to make the new gen mt09 run "properly". Two very different bikes but love them both. Yamaha hit it out of the park with the whole mt line, mt07 FANTASTIC bike too but I can't justify 3 of them....lol.
Great video well explained 👍 my 2021 Mt 09 is tamed on drive mode 4 and a beast on drive mode 1 it’s a bike you can grow with as you acquire more experience.
I agree with you. I've been trying different modes. You can definitely tell from drive mode 4/rain mode to everything off. With everything on drive mode 4 a beginner could start on it cause it's slower than my dirt bike! I'm going to the dragstrip this year and log my runs in every mode because I haven't seen any videos testing all the modes and how much it does get faster as i change one at a time.
Been riding for about 3 years and coming from a Honda Rebel 500. Just bought the MT09 last week & have slowly graduating from each power level lmaooo. Currently on Mode 2 / TCS 2. Bike is nuts coming from that 500.
I am a real life new rider who got a ‘21 MT09… i can confirm drive mode 4 is super safe, I left the tcs in 2, but it’s not going to be “slow” to a new rider by any stretch. I ride in drive mode 2 on the highway and 3 on local roads now. I strongly vouch for a 21 MT09 being a safer bike than a MT07 given it’a safety features and won’t ever feel “slow”. Did not regret this move one bit and no, I still did not drop my bike.
@@HazingNight for $1700 more for better tech and another 40hp (last year) it was a no brainer. I’d tell anyone interested in an MT to buy the 03 or 09. As much as these RUclipsrs seem to love the 07, it’s overpriced for what it is.
@@motzoutdooradventures8838 it’s an amazing bike but take it slow on drive mode 4 for a while until you’re fully comfortable. I’m also 43 years old with some level of self restraint; would not recommend for younger new riders!
@@themystx2 yea already planned to ride on drive mode 4, and thankfully live in the middle of no where to practice, I’m 33 and am pretty much past my reckless stage
Great video! i bought your bike two weeks ago in the Orlando dealership. It is my first bike and i have to say that is really fun to ride!!! (it still has the sticker with your tag @!!!)
Bro congratulations. That’s so awesome that you were able to pick up my bike. I just put those tires on so they are super fresh. Also the ECU is flashed already. All you need is an exhaust and you’re good to go. I’m going to throw a MT 09 ride sometime next year. Like a meet up. It would be cool to see you there.
I went from R3 to MT09, and I think maybe mode 2 is safe enough (was for me) when riding vigilant, but the bike is very intimidating. It's a beast! I'm 5'10, and not able to flat foot it. I'm still in the break in period, but I can't wait to hit the 1k mile marker to open it up. Then maybe I'll try mode 1 LOL! Great video covering very much details.🤙🏻
Thanks for the clip ! This is the info I wanted to know . Everybody says the MT09 is not for the beginners , and I agree the 2014- 2020 was not beginner friendly , but the 2021 has better modes , and tech that allow you to drive safe . The MT07 does not have anything but ABS . The new Hornet CB750 is nice and have all the tech , but the price is pretty close to the MT09 . I can't find a dyno test with all the 4 modes , but test riding it is fine too . Thanks again !
Thanks for making this video I have some experience riding a kawasaki klr 650, and wanted to pick this up and your explanation made me more comfortable purchasing this bike thanks again.
This is def the move coming from an R3 I'm a little worried about how much power it has but those rider modes are nice that way I can ease into the power.
Dude, I liked the video a lot. I just got a little question. When you hit the gas I don’t see you pull the clutch in to change gear, how do you do that?? Or is it because when you edit it? Cause when you do the right turn and hit the gas I doesn’t feel like you doing the change but the bike. I might be wrong but I was just curious
Thanks so much for this video. I am stuck with R3 for the the past two years and wanting to upgrade. My eyes are on MT09 SP and there’s no dealer in my locale that had a demo bike for test the ride. I wanted to buy something that I can keep for 4-5 years without missing out on any fun. Not a big fan of having multiple bikes because I’m mostly a road rider. Now I’m going to buy the SP model. Subscribed, and thanks again
TCS 1 is the least intrusive and TCS is 2 is more intrusive, if you want max TCS you have to set it to 3 in the manual settings and then set TCS to M in the TCS drive modes
Thanks for this video. I'm new to riding and I had my eye on this bike because of the weaker mode 4. Definitely looking to pick it up as my first bike!
Picked one of these up yesterday as my first bike in the same colours. Need to sort a tail tidy and bar end mirrors etc. to make it look a bit better. Rode it mainly in 3 but tried 1 and 2 a few times. I love the handling of the thing and the quick shifter and auto blipper are an absolute joy. Don't think I would like to ride a bike without those now! What brand are your mirrors by the way and do they vibrate any? Thanks.
Thank you for watching the channel. The mirrors I use are CRG arrow mirrors. I have a video on the channel with the links. Hope it helps. That are super nice. You will love them!
I also just got this bike as my first bike in black, got 350 miles on it in a week. I agree about the quick shifter as well, although I need to try not to use it so I can develop my shifting skills. So far so good, I haven't tried mode 2 or 1 yet but ill get there. Good luck out there and stay safe!
To me, it felt like modes 1-3 were the same power but had different levels of 'cable slackness'. Mode 4 I found a struggle to ride with. It was as if it ended up lugging the engine everywhere. Almost like letting the clutch out half a sec too early. You'd need to recalibrate your brain to rev half a sec early for it to sync up with the clutch. Or just use the quickshifter on every change, but I wouldn't recommend that between gears 1 & 2. Just my 2 cents.
Great feed back. 1-3 did have the same power, but took longer in the 3&4 mode to get there. Absolutely. Thank you for watching the Channel. Ride safe 🙏
@@yamayari8351 thanks for covering topics like this. It's useful info for riders to know. My last bike was an 04 R1, so riding modes are brand new to me. For the R1, the riding mode is how much cable slack you've removed by twisting the throttle a few mm and what revs you're sitting on. I'm getting used to the days of ride by wire. Thanks
@@AuroraDarkStar absolutely. My GSXR 06 was the same. The more you twist the scarier it got lol ride safe. Thank you for the words of encouragement. Means a lot.
Good Video! but ma dude you need a 4k camera ^^ 60fps or higher i reecommennd the Osmo 5 from DJI (comming out soon or you take the osmo 4) or the hero 11 or 12 gopro
Excelente video, muy bien explicado, muy óptimo para motociclistas como yo que no hemos pasado de una 300 cc y querernos aventurarnos en las grandes ligas☺️☺️
I just swapped from MT07 to MT09 2022 for this season. Any comparison which mode is closest to MT07 power delivery? I guess its gonna be somewhere between 2 and 3. Im planning to start there... But I guess its gonna be mode 1 soon :D
Thanks for this video as I currently have a Harley Street 500 as my first bike and it’s been over a year and looking to upgrade and was looking at this bike. Feel like with the modes this can be ridden as a second bike and room to grow.
Awesome video! I saw your review of the strada carbon if it doesn't trouble you can you make a short or something of you wearing it and doing a 360 to get all angles I really want to see what I looks like on you with the blue tint! I plan on getting one exactly the same soon.
Hey Yari, have you thought of hand bar risers? I just ordered some Puig 3740N risers for my 2021 MT-09 SP. I want just a little more height on the hand bars. Would help my lower back. You should get some and do an install and review video.
Hi YamaYari . I likes your videos, can you make a video about how the lift control works? Is it possible to flip your motorcycle or can you just hold the throttle for full.
Thank you for the compliments. An honest to God…. I’m still experimenting with the lift control. Really scared to go full throttle especially since I don’t no how to wheelie. But I will share a great video to help you. But when I learn it I will share. Trust me lol ruclips.net/video/1mbnjFDXyVY/видео.html
@@yamayari8351 Thank you for a quick answer, here in Sweden we have to wait for the long winter before we can start riding again. My bike is an MT 09 SP 2021.
Nicely done Yama. If you haven't watched it, there's a video by TANKSLAPMOTO testing the "LIF Control". It's titled: Yamaha MT09 2021 - "LIF CONTROL" - Tested. Great to watch if you're just starting out to wheelie on the MT-09. Keep up the good work. Ride safe.
I just think it would be safer for you with LIF set to 1 rather than "off". The wheelie is controlled with it on. You could possibly flip over backwards with it off. Be safe.
Did you ever get a tune for the akrapovic exhaust? i bought the same exhaust just on a 2022 model and im not sure how i would go about getting the tune for the exhaust, do i just buy a power commander and find a tune hopefully for the same exhaust or is there other/ better options. Never tuned a bike before the is my 2nd bike and i heard it can run a little lean with an aftermarket exhaust and im just worried about damaging the motor potentially. Thanks!
I ran with it like that over a year without a tune no problem. Even gained like 2-3 horsepower. So you should be ok. If not VCYCLENUT, TST or MooreMafia is who I would send my ECU too. They are the best and better than the power commander. But the PC is not a bad option if you do not want to send theECU out. Ride safe.
You'll find that it's not necessary to do that. It doesn't limit your revs. It just limits how quickly the power comes on. So in drive mode 4 you can still over rev it. The other aspect is that it's got so much power that you don't even need to rev high. Mine has just gone in for it's first service. I could count on one hand how many times I revved it above 6000rpm and I haven't been babying it. I've been riding it reasonably aggressively. Having said that though I will admit that I've been keeping it in drive mode 2/tcs 2 during the run in period with similar reasoning to what you expressed. I did ride it out of the showroom in 4 though and at the first intersection switched it to 3 because like you will experience 4 is way too tame. The next day I was on 2 and it's stayed there since.
@@MrBCRC I get what you mean, and although you understood what i meant, I know it doesn't limit your revs, but your power and torque, which is also important (during a break-in period you try to stress the engine the least, that means low rpm and no full throttle). So for me, using D-MODE 4 makes sense until I reach the 1k mile period just to avoid getting to quick and probably beyong 5300rpm (600 miles) and 6300rpm (1k). That's maybe an overexagerated way to do the break-in period, but in my head, paying for a brand new bike (or car) means until 1k miles I am not supposed to enjoy the bike. Just different tastes :)
What do you mean by the throttle is delayed or behind? Also is the on off throttle response at lower speeds snatchy or jerky? Are there flat spots in the throttle where you turn the throttle and nothing happens? Can’t get a test ride at local dealers. Trying to gather as much info as possible.
tbh i have a ninja 300 and a gsxr750, and i have more fun on the 300 but i like the ability to go fast in the 750. I kind of want this bike because i would like the comfy riding position, slap a puig touring adjustable windscreen on it and pin the throttle around in mode 4 while it being good on the highway with cruise control and wheelie control!
Coming from a Suzuki 600 bandit And then a cbr 600 f Zero electronics no abs Getting my mt 09sp 21’ in few days I’m not even bothering with 2,3,4 everything in 1 🤪
@@yamayari8351 I'm gonna tell You that I recently bought my MT09SP (535 km) and ride some long rides only. Use mode 4 and I agree with You that it feels like a 300 bike. I still have My Duke 390 and it is similar to that. I can't wait to use the 09 on mode 3 after the first service. Great vídeo..!🤘

why you dont power wheelie the bike it limits it and you can shift into second gear with quick shifter and it puts it down smoothly but you take lift control off and its all bets off and you can do some dank nooners but i'm not brave enough for that lol turned it off once and almost looped it but had the rear brake covered and put it back down lol
@@yamayari8351 ah ok .. thought maybe that power plant cooling loop you were showing was a sister plant of the one that I work at. Anyways great content, thanks for the videos.
@@love4steel You’re welcome. It is a really cool power plant. It uses that whole lake that surrounds it to cool it off like a big radiator system. It has two canals that feed the power plant one with cool water sucked in by massive pipes and once it runs through the boilers in the station it comes out the other side hot. Then Circulates through the lake and then cools back down. All man-made back in like the 1920s. I’m kind of a Buckner like to read on miscellaneous information. Ha ha
this mod 1 , have an impact at your driving ? you know , 1 mod keep you on kind of train rails ?? ! Cause averybody said how playful is the Tracer 900 and Mt09 ,but when i ride it , i didnt find it playful at all . Now... this conclusion is falty cause the bike was set at mod 1 when i ride it ??????
I have the mt09. I dont know what it calls in english, the RPM bar? I dont know. Its First White then Green then Red/orange. How i Change it? My RPM ist Green all the way.
Mmmmm that I’m not sure. I’ll have to look into that. So even when you just taking of in first? But good news green is where the bike is most happiest 😆
@@yamayari8351 thanks for replying. i´m not sure what you mean with "first", but my RPM ist Green from 0 to Max. Your RPM Start with White then Green then Orange.

(I NEED HELP YAMAYARI!) i got some problems in the netherlands with my exhaust being to loud.... ofc... suppose to be 96-Db on 5k RPM not higher for this model.... so my question whas! do the sound (Db) get lower on mode 4 and higher on mode 1 ? if anyone know this info for this same bike PLEASE let me know!

Thank you for this! I have to drive to home the new MT 09 I’m picking up tomorrow and was concerned because the dealer is in the city and was intimidated of how jerky the bike could be. Mode 4 looks smooth tho so that gave me peace of mind
I bought a new gen '21 mt09 after having a '18 mt09 that had another $8k invested in it when I bought it. Yes, another $8k! Of course that included top of the line K-Tech suspension front and rear. In hindsight, I wish I would have spent the extra cash for the sp. Of course anything was going to be a step down after that spectacular '18 I had. I found a '18 mt10 with 1k on it, essentially new. I immediately put on a yosh 3/4 system and had David at Vcyclenut flash accordingly. All I can say is what a beast! The mt09 is still stock as I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it. Figure at least $1k for an exhaust, $300 for flash and I'd rather pay the guy that does it all day on the labor. So, you're close to $2k to make the new gen mt09 run "properly". Two very different bikes but love them both. Yamaha hit it out of the park with the whole mt line, mt07 FANTASTIC bike too but I can't justify 3 of them....lol.
Great video well explained 👍 my 2021 Mt 09 is tamed on drive mode 4 and a beast on drive mode 1 it’s a bike you can grow with as you acquire more experience.
I agree with you. I've been trying different modes. You can definitely tell from drive mode 4/rain mode to everything off. With everything on drive mode 4 a beginner could start on it cause it's slower than my dirt bike! I'm going to the dragstrip this year and log my runs in every mode because I haven't seen any videos testing all the modes and how much it does get faster as i change one at a time.
Been riding for about 3 years and coming from a Honda Rebel 500.
Just bought the MT09 last week & have slowly graduating from each power level lmaooo. Currently on Mode 2 / TCS 2. Bike is nuts coming from that 500.
I am a real life new rider who got a ‘21 MT09… i can confirm drive mode 4 is super safe, I left the tcs in 2, but it’s not going to be “slow” to a new rider by any stretch. I ride in drive mode 2 on the highway and 3 on local roads now. I strongly vouch for a 21 MT09 being a safer bike than a MT07 given it’a safety features and won’t ever feel “slow”. Did not regret this move one bit and no, I still did not drop my bike.
I was torn between the mt07 and 09 as a first bike. The rain mode and safety features is what drove me to the 09
@@HazingNight for $1700 more for better tech and another 40hp (last year) it was a no brainer. I’d tell anyone interested in an MT to buy the 03 or 09. As much as these RUclipsrs seem to love the 07, it’s overpriced for what it is.
Hopefully picking up my ‘22 MT09 as my first bike in a couple weeks. The safety features are what made me want it over the 07
@@motzoutdooradventures8838 it’s an amazing bike but take it slow on drive mode 4 for a while until you’re fully comfortable. I’m also 43 years old with some level of self restraint; would not recommend for younger new riders!
@@themystx2 yea already planned to ride on drive mode 4, and thankfully live in the middle of no where to practice, I’m 33 and am pretty much past my reckless stage
Great video! i bought your bike two weeks ago in the Orlando dealership. It is my first bike and i have to say that is really fun to ride!!! (it still has the sticker with your tag @!!!)
Bro congratulations. That’s so awesome that you were able to pick up my bike. I just put those tires on so they are super fresh. Also the ECU is flashed already. All you need is an exhaust and you’re good to go. I’m going to throw a MT 09 ride sometime next year. Like a meet up. It would be cool to see you there.
Find me on Facebook so we can ride one day.
@@yamayari8351 that’s awesome, I will keep an eye out for the meet up.
I went from R3 to MT09, and I think maybe mode 2 is safe enough (was for me) when riding vigilant, but the bike is very intimidating. It's a beast! I'm 5'10, and not able to flat foot it.
I'm still in the break in period, but I can't wait to hit the 1k mile marker to open it up. Then maybe I'll try mode 1 LOL!
Great video covering very much details.🤙🏻
Sounds good. Thank you for sharing your experience. Ride safe and enjoy.
I'm 5'10" and I can flatfoot it. Must be a difference in leg length.
@Intel Core i7 7700k I reach just not the heal of my feet. Barely. It's always best to sit on the bike when purchasing anyway.
@@ABNRONE oh yeah definitely
I’m 6’2 and started on mode 2. And this is my first bike
Thanks for the clip ! This is the info I wanted to know . Everybody says the MT09 is not for the beginners , and I agree the 2014- 2020 was not beginner friendly , but the 2021 has better modes , and tech that allow you to drive safe . The MT07 does not have anything but ABS . The new Hornet CB750 is nice and have all the tech , but the price is pretty close to the MT09 . I can't find a dyno test with all the 4 modes , but test riding it is fine too . Thanks again !
Glad this helped. Just respect the throttle, use common sense an I’m sure you’ll be fine. Ride safe!
Thanks for making this video I have some experience riding a kawasaki klr 650, and wanted to pick this up and your explanation made me more comfortable purchasing this bike thanks again.
That’s great! Nothing better than to feel correct about your own decision. Be blessed and ride safe! Thank you for watching the Channel ❤️
This is def the move coming from an R3 I'm a little worried about how much power it has but those rider modes are nice that way I can ease into the power.
I owned an R3 as well. If you start easy in D4 you should be fine 🙏 please ride safe.
Appreciate a detailed video about the modes, just bought my mt09sp and gotta wait for it to be imported
Thank you very much for this valuable information about that bike, I will follow your advice with my new toy MT09.
Blessings from Colombia bro👍👍
Great! Ride safe.
Dude, I liked the video a lot. I just got a little question. When you hit the gas I don’t see you pull the clutch in to change gear, how do you do that?? Or is it because when you edit it? Cause when you do the right turn and hit the gas I doesn’t feel like you doing the change but the bike. I might be wrong but I was just curious
This bike has a quick shifter from the factory. You only pull the clutch in for first gear 🙌
Thanks so much for this video. I am stuck with R3 for the the past two years and wanting to upgrade. My eyes are on MT09 SP and there’s no dealer in my locale that had a demo bike for test the ride. I wanted to buy something that I can keep for 4-5 years without missing out on any fun. Not a big fan of having multiple bikes because I’m mostly a road rider. Now I’m going to buy the SP model. Subscribed, and thanks again
This bike would last at least 10! Trust me loads of fun! Thank you for watching the Channel and for the SUB 🙏 I truly appreciate it. Ride safe.
nice review mate! what's your height? just for reference
I’m 5,10. Thank you for watching. Ride safe.
First off, cool side mirror! 2nd thanks for this now i’ve made up my mind that I will cop this bike 🏍😎 this was super helpful
TCS 1 is the least intrusive and TCS is 2 is more intrusive, if you want max TCS you have to set it to 3 in the manual settings and then set TCS to M in the TCS drive modes
Thanks for this video. I'm new to riding and I had my eye on this bike because of the weaker mode 4. Definitely looking to pick it up as my first bike!
Nice! Just start slow and be safe! Definitely start easy and work your way up. Thank you for watching the channel 🙏 ride safe

Bro!!!!! I really want that bike too! I was tempted to sell the R1 and get it as well lol
Picked one of these up yesterday as my first bike in the same colours. Need to sort a tail tidy and bar end mirrors etc. to make it look a bit better.
Rode it mainly in 3 but tried 1 and 2 a few times. I love the handling of the thing and the quick shifter and auto blipper are an absolute joy. Don't think I would like to ride a bike without those now!
What brand are your mirrors by the way and do they vibrate any? Thanks.
Thank you for watching the channel. The mirrors I use are CRG arrow mirrors. I have a video on the channel with the links. Hope it helps. That are super nice. You will love them!
I also just got this bike as my first bike in black, got 350 miles on it in a week. I agree about the quick shifter as well, although I need to try not to use it so I can develop my shifting skills. So far so good, I haven't tried mode 2 or 1 yet but ill get there. Good luck out there and stay safe!
@@codymerry6324 glad to hear your taking your time. Makes total sense. Ride safe an thank you for watching the channel 🙏
any updates on your riding experience on the bike so far?
What brand is your phone holder ? Everyone I've tried on y MT 09 blocks the instrument panel . Yours looks perfect !
Also drive modes 1-3 have the exact same power output, it’s just the throttle mapping is different between them
Good to know. Felt the same towards the end of each test. But to you point the throttle was limited in each mode. Thank you for your great feed back.
Thakx for the video. Thinking between a few bikes, want this one most, this vid helped. Thanks
To me, it felt like modes 1-3 were the same power but had different levels of 'cable slackness'. Mode 4 I found a struggle to ride with. It was as if it ended up lugging the engine everywhere. Almost like letting the clutch out half a sec too early. You'd need to recalibrate your brain to rev half a sec early for it to sync up with the clutch. Or just use the quickshifter on every change, but I wouldn't recommend that between gears 1 & 2. Just my 2 cents.
Great feed back. 1-3 did have the same power, but took longer in the 3&4 mode to get there. Absolutely. Thank you for watching the Channel. Ride safe 🙏
@@yamayari8351 thanks for covering topics like this. It's useful info for riders to know. My last bike was an 04 R1, so riding modes are brand new to me. For the R1, the riding mode is how much cable slack you've removed by twisting the throttle a few mm and what revs you're sitting on. I'm getting used to the days of ride by wire. Thanks
@@AuroraDarkStar absolutely. My GSXR 06 was the same. The more you twist the scarier it got lol ride safe. Thank you for the words of encouragement. Means a lot.

Thank you 🙏 I hope you get one sooner than later. Thank you for watching the Channel
I just swapped from MT07 to MT09 2022 for this season. Any comparison which mode is closest to MT07 power delivery? I guess its gonna be somewhere between 2 and 3. Im planning to start there... But I guess its gonna be mode 1 soon :D
I would say drive mode 3 An TCR to 1 would feel close to the MT07. But ride with caution for the first few hundred miles. Ride safe 🙏
Thanks for this video as I currently have a Harley Street 500 as my first bike and it’s been over a year and looking to upgrade and was looking at this bike. Feel like with the modes this can be ridden as a second bike and room to grow.
Absolutely! Just start in D mode and you will be fine. Baby step then down the road……. You ripe it!!! Lol 😂

Hey Yari, have you thought of hand bar risers? I just ordered some Puig 3740N risers for my 2021 MT-09 SP. I want just a little more height on the hand bars. Would help my lower back. You should get some and do an install and review video.
I have intalled a 30mm rizers and i really liked them it feels like my supermoto with a lot more power
Hi YamaYari . I likes your videos, can you make a video about how the lift control works? Is it possible to flip your motorcycle or can you just hold the throttle for full.
Thank you for the compliments. An honest to God…. I’m still experimenting with the lift control. Really scared to go full throttle especially since I don’t no how to wheelie. But I will share a great video to help you. But when I learn it I will share. Trust me lol

Nicely done Yama. If you haven't watched it, there's a video by TANKSLAPMOTO testing the "LIF Control". It's titled: Yamaha MT09 2021 - "LIF CONTROL" - Tested. Great to watch if you're just starting out to wheelie on the MT-09. Keep up the good work. Ride safe.
Thank you 🙏 I think I’ve seen it. But I’m a look it up. Wouldn’t mind to do a small wheelie lol thanks Old Guy Ridin 🙏
I just think it would be safer for you with LIF set to 1 rather than "off". The wheelie is controlled with it on. You could possibly flip over backwards with it off. Be safe.
@@OldGuyRidin very true 🙏 will do.
I’m here on drive mode 4 thinking Shiet she’s got some guts !!! Well I have much to experience
Did you ever get a tune for the akrapovic exhaust? i bought the same exhaust just on a 2022 model and im not sure how i would go about getting the tune for the exhaust, do i just buy a power commander and find a tune hopefully for the same exhaust or is there other/ better options. Never tuned a bike before the is my 2nd bike and i heard it can run a little lean with an aftermarket exhaust and im just worried about damaging the motor potentially. Thanks!
I ran with it like that over a year without a tune no problem. Even gained like 2-3 horsepower. So you should be ok. If not VCYCLENUT, TST or MooreMafia is who I would send my ECU too. They are the best and better than the power commander. But the PC is not a bad option if you do not want to send theECU out. Ride safe.
I think i'm gonna use D-MODE 4 for breaking in the engine. Looks the best way to control those rpm.
You'll find that it's not necessary to do that. It doesn't limit your revs. It just limits how quickly the power comes on. So in drive mode 4 you can still over rev it.
The other aspect is that it's got so much power that you don't even need to rev high. Mine has just gone in for it's first service. I could count on one hand how many times I revved it above 6000rpm and I haven't been babying it. I've been riding it reasonably aggressively.
Having said that though I will admit that I've been keeping it in drive mode 2/tcs 2 during the run in period with similar reasoning to what you expressed. I did ride it out of the showroom in 4 though and at the first intersection switched it to 3 because like you will experience 4 is way too tame. The next day I was on 2 and it's stayed there since.
@@MrBCRC I get what you mean, and although you understood what i meant, I know it doesn't limit your revs, but your power and torque, which is also important (during a break-in period you try to stress the engine the least, that means low rpm and no full throttle). So for me, using D-MODE 4 makes sense until I reach the 1k mile period just to avoid getting to quick and probably beyong 5300rpm (600 miles) and 6300rpm (1k).
That's maybe an overexagerated way to do the break-in period, but in my head, paying for a brand new bike (or car) means until 1k miles I am not supposed to enjoy the bike.
Just different tastes :)
What do you mean by the throttle is delayed or behind? Also is the on off throttle response at lower speeds snatchy or jerky? Are there flat spots in the throttle where you turn the throttle and nothing happens? Can’t get a test ride at local dealers. Trying to gather as much info as possible.
tbh i have a ninja 300 and a gsxr750, and i have more fun on the 300 but i like the ability to go fast in the 750. I kind of want this bike because i would like the comfy riding position, slap a puig touring adjustable windscreen on it and pin the throttle around in mode 4 while it being good on the highway with cruise control and wheelie control!
If you are in D1 and have lift control at 3 will it still wheelie?
Your exhaust sounds good! Probably not stock?
Thank you. Is a Akrapovic exhaust my friend. Ride safe an thank you for watching the channel.
Thanks for the video. Great advice for me!

why you dont power wheelie the bike it limits it and you can shift into second gear with quick shifter and it puts it down smoothly but you take lift control off and its all bets off and you can do some dank nooners but i'm not brave enough for that lol turned it off once and almost looped it but had the rear brake covered and put it back down lol
