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

https://www.facebook.com/groups/94148693590...mibextid=Nif5oz

Maybe can. Try this, MT-10 SP 2018... 77k

Damn... Super worth it Mang... Bought cash?

congrats.. usually see about 45k and above for 2nd hand v3

not bad, year 22, cash usually asking 45k before negotiations

as much as I want xsr900, paying more than 15k premium over new mt09 isnt worth it imo

I did the trade at imotorbike. Can find some nice gems there https://www.carousell.com.my/p/1259854340

One of the downside about this Mt09 V3 is their chasis... alot of then issue with their chasis after accident.

lai lai sudah mali...
can view bike

Lol...i was there yesterday....saw the bike too...didnt have a price tag on it though

the price depends on how the sales fler value you...

Looks good

I hope MT09 v4 they upgraded the chassis, although in the spec sheet they mentioned about new chassis.

Interestingly I got offered 42k for a 22, low mileage unit...before nego.

I guess even Yamaha isn't holding on to its prices that well now with all the new bikes out.

Aiming for Mt09 v3 for quite sometime now, but looking between MT10 and MT09

actually u may be right, cause i do notice recently some listing for 43 also ade... tapi thats cashlah... if kedai, 45 or so

some us fellas already got to poke about.... main frame accordingly other than a plugged hole, seems to be the same, but the rear frame (bolted on section) is all diferent

imolah long as u dont crash, frame will work fine, hit hard enough most modern bikes will give. this fella the frame is rather exposed. if pecah during accident, i suppose thats where insurance will serve its purpose. Price to pay for that light body i suppose.

the other bigish bike that is on paper heavy but seems to do well is that suzuki 8s

different chassis frame material eh?

Some say v3 small crash also lead to frame crack.

no idea, from whay they are saying, same same, just 2 holes plugged up and thats about it

dunolah, at least in our group, only 3 kene (so far)... 2 accident case, one guy we guess slider kene rembat cause when it broke, he noticed the sliders both sides missing.

rest of these fellas happily nooning their bikes (typical mt owner behavior)

Ya, I saw at the group post... His slider kena rembat lead to chassis crack.... Is he able to claim his own insurance?

I mean the MT09 vs the 8s

maybe v4 is internal

yep

what does that mean? slider gone, so no screw to hold the engine causing frame to break?

Damn, super lucky that fella.

so happens that, the sliders typically make use of the engine mounting bolt locations to mount the sliders (fairly common, nothing too unusual) so once the sliders get stolen, theres nothing holding the engine in from the front (which i believe takes the most stress when u come off a wheelie)

the engine is an integral part of the chassis, take one look at the structure and i think you can understand why once its nolonger bolted on peoperly, its bound to fail. Its actually a common design these days allows manufacturers to produce lighter frames.

so just dont do wheelie then frame ok

just be careful, check once over and you should be finelah....

so far no regrets getting it, engine reliable and puts out way way more power than i ever need, its comfortable to ride, its light, just ugly

I think you're saying the engine is a 'stressed member' of the whole chassis
MT09 is not like that

XJ6, and a bunch of Ducati's are like that

here's comparing MT10 and MT09 engine section of the frame

thats what i mean yes, looks to me like its similar take that front engine bolt out and see how much material is actually holding that bike together, theres only the bit over the engine.

yeah, thanks... but if the slider kena curi, then the engine is hanging with less
those thieves are shits

anyhow, I hope MT09 won't have chassis issues again la
I guess some owners are just unlucky

seeing those cracks reminds me of many GSXR frame/headstock cracks back in the 2000's

looks even better kana sused
