r/MT09

Is this normal??

Ive seen a lot on here about the ticking but this sounds excessive.

Is this amount normal or am I good?

Edit: Appreciate the feedback. Currently riding.

Hey everyone.

Recently retired from the military, and have finally been in a position to buy a motorcycle. I rode my BILs '23 MT09 the first week back home and immediately fell in love with this platform.

Well, as luck would have it a dealership in the area had this for $9,999 brand new and it was too good to pass up.

Rode her home tonight and so fucking excited for what the future holds.

Just curious.... I don't plan on doing anything too crazy modification-wise. I do want to replace the license bracket, front signal indicators, mirrors, and muffler. Is there anything you all recommend I put on my to-do list and whether it's nice to have, must have, or MUST REPLACE lol.

Appreciate you all!!!!

Pic attached. All the other fuses can be pulled with white fuse puller, but it doesn't fit the main fuse and it doesn't have test points.

I’m in the Midwest and this is listed for 5,800. I actually prefer these looks wise to the newer MTs

Good afternoon, everyone. I need to paint the tank on my "09" (MT-09), and I figured I might as well paint the fairings while I'm at it. I'm having a really hard time finding the color codes; I've tried contacting Yamaha, searching online, and even using AI... It looks like the tank code is 0564 DPBMC and the fairing code is 0960 MBM3. Has anyone dealt with this before or can confirm the codes for me? My "09" is the blue and matte gray model; I can't take it to a paint shop to have the color scanned...

It happens when the engine is warm too but it's very unlikely

Anyone tried them? Opinions? They're only like $5-10 more and sound like they would hold up better. Over hyped?

On a related note. Anyone know the diameter of the steering stem jam nuts? I have the tools for it to loosen it but not sure if I want to make a custom socket for the torque or what yet.

My girlfriends dad told her to tell me that I should go to a “real” mechanic but I know I can figure this out I think the sound is normal but wanted to check on Reddit because I don’t have a manual and autozone doesn’t carry a tracer 9GT Haynes manual the guy at autozone said the hydraulic lifters on these bikes sometimes goes out but what does he know! I bet he doesn’t even ride a motorcycle and if he does it’s probably a Harley or some slow ass bike lol idk whatever all I know is that I changed the oil when I bought it (2021) and the oil still looks good when I drain some to inspect it I don’t think the problem is the oil what do you think thanks fam

Went out for coffee this morning and the lot was almost clear. Snapped this photo before heading out. Have a great week riders!

Hello everybody

I have an MT-09 2019 (gen 2) and today when I got home I heard a ticking sound from the front sprocket/chain area.

I first heard it two weeks ago, I disassembled the front sprocket cover and I noticed that the sprocket nut was unbolted like a millimeter. It was really subtle the sound at first but after I torqued to spec the front sprocket nut it went away. But now it came back. The nut didn't seem to loosen, and I tried to realign the rear wheel.

It is really weird that the sound only comes if I sit on the seat, (if the suspension is lowered) and if the motorcycle is straight. If I try to replicate the sound while on side stand with the suspension lowered, it doesn't do it.

Tomorrow I will go to a mechanic to take a look, but I wanted to ask if somebody has some ideas of what it could be, or if it happened to any of you.

Thank you!

TL;DR - chain is only ticking when suspension is lowered, and straight up. Sound went away after re torque the front sprocket nut, but it came back and doesn't go away now.
