I havent been reading fz09.org alot,

many riders use terms like jerky, twitchy , choppy throttle of mt09..

and some feels that it is the triples' engine response.. a surge of torque they call it.. although it is not the case..

actually it is yamaha's problem in designing this ride by wire mt09..

after many people complained... this is yamaha's response..

yamaha termed it as " non- linear throttle characteristic "

this is the notice issued by yamaha..

So mean need to re-flash the ECU ler...

Want smooth go for 4 in-line ler. But damn, the latest MT-09 spec look so tempting. Dunno the QS on new MT would be on par with 675R, coz 675R using translogic QS.

hvnt heard rider complain about speed triple or other triple being not smooth.. so its yamaha's problem.. i guess.. they already admit it..

I would just skip Yamaha big bike if you are thinking of buying. I just bought a MT-09 and took the bike home and the ABS light lid up all the way home. Call the dealer immediately and it took me 1 whole day to explain the ABS is not working. They advice me to bring the bike into my local Hong Leong Yamaha service centre to check.

Finally reached the HL Yamaha, took them about 20 mins to determine the ABS pump gone need replacing. WTF? A brand spanking new bike come out from the factory with 0km on the clock with ABS issue? Is HL Yamaha having a laugh on the QC department or just having tea break from 9am to 5pm?

So after they determine they need to replace the ABS pump and order the part. I've check in every week to see if the part are in. It took them 2 fxxxing months to get the part from Japan. Last time I check Japan is closer than any European bike manufacture even the KTM or Ducati guys don't need 2 months to get a simple part with already available immediately since they CDK the bike in Malaysia.

Finally they call me in for the repair after more than 2 months. Still need at least 3 days to change the pump.

Sadly I'm not the only one who have the same problem. I've got friend who have a brand newly launched Tracer GT less than 1 month and the ABS sensor broke make the bike unridable.

SKIP YAMAHA... I'm going back to European bike.

sorry to hear tht.. i would be mad too...

At least you have an engine bro

RM50k just for an engine? No thank you. Get rid of the bike soon.

street triple.. any others?

Don't like Power Ranger face.

MV Agusta is an option. But the with limited service centre.

ducati triumph mvagusta aprillia bmw... wht else? moto guzzi..

missed out ktm... .. got duke 790...

@ tht price mt09 currently still is very popular..

My FZ6R is pretty dumb...no electronic aids, no hazard lights, no flasher...so far, luckily it is still functioning well

The bike chasing scene is movie James Wick.... Is using mt09. Right?

I thought I saw it in the trailer.

This one? Ya, its MT09
There is another scene John Wick riding horse fight with biker, that one look like another bike.

Keanu is a biker fan in real life.

Kalau camtu, beli Royal Enfield la. Kekeke...

Retro style bikes by their very definition will not go out of style. And that includes Jap UJMs - their looks live forever!
