CanisLupus 2017 Yamaha FZ-09

Negative. Wait until spring of 2018, if i'm able, i'll show you how to build one of these in candy red

I'm still madly in love.

 

This is a Yamaha MT-09 Street Rally. (same thing, different sub model) Something Europe gets, but we dont. They also have a Street Tracker (which Im not a huge fan of)

Im in love with the Street Rally. I love the front fairing. But Yamaha makes it almost impossible to buy parts from different countries.

Street Tracker:

 

Looks too much like an airplane. Bleh

 

would you rather it look like this?

 

I like it, but its not what I would do.

 

graphic design up some mods!

 

Meh.

Also, my break in will be putting it in standard mode, riding it to the nearest straight away and running it through each gear gently several times. Then changing the oil at 250-300 miles. Beause hard break in ftw

 

600 miles in B mode. Matt is scared of Std mode. I am scared of A mode

 

Been thinking long and hard about upgrading toone of these, any comments on the ride and power delivery compared to a V-twin or I-4?

 

Break in 600 miles below 5000rpm, oil change, then 400 miles below 8000rpm, oil change

Matt

 

wait, thats too many oil changes. I just did the 600 miles, while going through the gears. Never stay in one too long. Then youre good.

I have 10k miles, no issues. Oil change at the beginning of every season

 

More power to you if you stick with that. I couldn't take it that easy on a bike I just got haha hard break-in FTW.

 

I would personally only ever ride in B mode in the rain. Standard is where its at. A when is asshole mode.

But everyone has different comfort levels and should only ride within their limits.

 

Lawyer talk

 

thats my thought. Plus, in A mode, the way I ride, Ill only get around 80 miles to a tank. I like the backfire

 

My bike has actually gotten better gas mileage since the Akrapovic. The farthest I've gone on a tank is 150 miles, and I'm fairly sure I could push it farther. The low fuel level warning doesn't start until around 140 miles.

 

I havent driven conservatively enough. But I get around 120 on a good day. But its still around $7 to fill it with premium. Not a bad way to have fun for $7

 

I don't even fill up with premium haha

Manual says 87 so I fill up with that. I'll be switching to 91 or higher once it's tuned.

 

I'll take that any day of the week.

 

Subd btw
