Apart of being overpriced, what other downsides of Yamaha big bikes?

is this even coming to Malaysia?
waiting for mt07 and xsr900 also never come

i think latest mt09 v3 got frame issue where some bike has its frame just split into two
recently also got recall for mt09 and tracer 9

other than overpriced (in malaysia) I think they do make solid bikes

Dunno grey import or official release

ini ah, konfirm is grey import la

got $$$ can buy, or ask shop to order for u

haha at that price can already find mt-10..

I dunno why but I prefer the 700 than the 900

splitting issue, mostly comes from 2 events
- accident
- slider kene rembat (slider attaches to the engine mounting screw and the engine itself lends to its structural integrity) so no screw, wheelie, slam wheel, piaaakkkkk
so far malaysia afaik, both events pernah kene... slider kes, not sure if kene rembat or came off on its own

recall, to do with tuning, and i guess the o2 sensor connector. its not properly weatherproofed, so when it rains, theres a chance water gets in and suddenly u cannot start the bike till it dries out

theres actually a 3rd issue. its god dem ugly. with the rear fender, its ugliness is further pronounced.

aiyoh for the look I think its an acquired taste
I think v3 looks fine but I'm more offended on the v4 design

to be very honest, the look has grown on me. the theme is naked, and it really suits.

and yes, i lagi x suka the v4 design. 2v cantik, its the only model i would call good looking.

My thoughts on yamaha in general...be it big or small bikes.

They engineer really, really good bikes....but they build it with cheap parts

Wah, can’t be worse than the Chinese brands, right?

nah not that bad.... i think the built on the more expensive bikes are 'better-ish' things like the switch gear all feel nicer, but same can be said about almost every other manufacturer out there. u basically get what u pay for

**that said, not sure how it compares to the more modern chinese bikes... i have seen the clx700 and honestly it was a really appealing package. built seemd pretty good for the pricepoint

cfmoto can consider exception for china brand stereotype.. the switchgear and cover set fitting on the 800nk and 800mt are pretty good.

even qjmotor srk600 isnt that bad tbh, but you can definitely feel the 'china'

Thats what I think lol better go for litre bike

lai lai ada brani ??

Have to go see and touch the bike first 🤣

this foto is auction foto at japan, so far no unit hv landed yet i think,
oni xsr900 ada kat kedai.

wah those prices.... frankly, id take the ugly 09 and do whatever work i would need with the extra moneys

Bought a 2nd hand MT09 V3 2022 for 43k. Damn worth it - great engine, tyres are sticky and super light at 189kg. Teaded my clx 700 for it
