Quality Chinese manufacturing... if you had kept the bike, the cams might have gone next.

I've spent ages now with a tiny screwdriver trying to pull the grommet through from the inside, this way is SO quick and easy, THANK YOU SO MUCH

wij noemen dat in Nederland een KUT constructie.

Don't take the fixing off the back.....use some fishing braid wrap it around the middle of the rubber then pull in place....

Just picked up a 2021 MT-09 and got the comfort seat added for an additional $250 AUD. I’m 6, 2” so appreciate the additional height from the new seat.

A mate bought a 790 Duke and was aware of the "gremlins" but thought he might be lucky. He eventually traded it in and said it had every problem he had read on the forums! He loved it when it did work but that wasn't very often. Replaced it with a new Honda!

My 1941 BSA is better than that...😊

Nope, I just can't stand tablets on bikes instead of proper clocks, they make a bike look really cheap !

Great video, new subscriber here I actually live in the area you’re riding in just by Heathrow airport, I am also a Tall person! 6ft3 weighing about 108kg, and although never ridden a bike other than on CBTs doing my full license and looking to skip the 125cc and just move to the 500+ and always see these Sv650 come up on fb marketplace, so thanks for the review! Hope to be out and about soon

So this is the type of soul and character KTM fangirls are talking about

You just happened to get a lemon. It happens.

Previous owner did well to get rid of that thing.

謝謝你~對我非常有幫助~

My Yamaha 10k and no issues at all. Absolutely perfect. And cheaper than KTMs

Love my MT/ Hate the always lose indicators!

European manufacturers seem to put all of their effort into aesthetics and performance then pray their bikes will be reliable.

The first version was way better.

Great advice man thanks 👍

Yep had this problem with my 23 Yamaha MT-09, didnt take long to find this video and find out I am not the only one, thanks for this.

What a life saver! Tyvm

thanks for the heads up, I was seriously considering the KTM 790 as an all rounder but I may have to research further. cheers

Thanks for this.. def helped me.

Cheers bro. I own an MT09 also and not a drama at all. I just could not, would not purchase a new or even second hand late model KTM 790/890.

Only drama i have with mine is the seating position if forces me forward an I crush my nuts on the fuel tank 😂

*another tip guys* If that rubber tear, use super glue (liquid glue) to fix it. Strong adhesive. Can save your money from buy new one.

Really helpfull video. Many thanks!

Thanks man.

Humour me for a moment (and no I have yet to ride a motorcycle with a quickshifter...🫣), What's the deal on having / installing said setup on your bike? Are we now in the business of shaving off one-tenths of seconds from 🚥 to 🚥🤨? Whatever happened to ✋🏾- 👁️ - 🦶🏾 coordination? #JustAsking 🧙🏽‍♂️

I bought the Tracer 9 GT in 2021 brand new. Days after getting it the indicator popped out, so put it back in, then one day when I was riding I hit a pot hole and noticed the light had popped out again. The only problem was it has snapped the plastic it was seated in. I took the bike back to Yamaha as it was only months old and they basically refused to replace it! They stated I must have been to aggressive putting it back. I challenged them stating that it shouldn't be coming off when riding in the first place but it fell on deaf ears. I don't know about the MT-09 but the indicator on the Tracer 9 GT is connected to the whole front headlamp cluster and they said it would cost over £1300 to replace. The bike is due to go back soon (PCP), and I won't EVER be buying one again. Shame because this was my 3rd Tracer/MT but it's put me off for life.

Proper review, thanks for sharing. I bought a '24 its should be here next week Cheers

How tall are you? I’m 6’2 and think it might be on the edge? I found the triumph trident to be the most comfortable mid sized bike so far, and the CB650R quite cramped- wouldn’t like to be on it for a couple of hours!

Original confort seats are just a bit better. If you look confort you have bagster, shad and more afordable jn seats wich is Portuguese and its like bagster but some are in waterproof leader and you can change. Foam is viscoelastic in all them.

The dealership should have found all that shit before putting it on the show room.

The 750 is the new 600 ?

Awesome thank you

Thank you for your take on the KTM. I truly understand as. I a Peugeot also made in China and while a brilliant car to drive, has countless problems from leaky hoses to a/c glitches to gearbox issues. The 5 year warranty helped defray costs but it’s now 6 years old and anything that needs fixing from now is on my money. Fingers crossed need to get another car but the resale value is awfully low. So made in China , pls be aware of their hit and miss QC.

thank you so much. I like kawasaki versys 650, have you had to face or heard any issue about 650... have a good day

Oii c nt will you get the 24 model

That's made in Cina, isn't it?

I took one out for a test ride and ordered one straight away. Love the flickability of it. A pyramid hugger sorts the muck from the back wheel. Nice review

I'm 6'4" and 100kg and I love my CB650R. I think if you spend a lot of time around town then maybe get something with more low end torque but if you like to go to the twisties then this bike really comes alive. Once you get it into the power band it hauls arse and the chassis/suspension is really good too. I have heard that the MT09 chassis/suspension/brakes are pretty crap which seems to be a recurring theme for Yamaha. Great engines, everything else is a bit meh.

I can fix the light but put back the tabs is impossible:(

My local dealer sells BMW, KTM, Triumph and Kawasaki bikes and I have bought lots of bikes from them over the years. When I enquired about getting a 790 Adventure the salesman, whom I know well, took me aside and told me horror stories about KTM warranty claims and suggested that I look elsewhere, since I'm old and ride alone mostly. To be fair I had a KTM 390 Adventure for a couple of years that I bought second hand in 2020 and had no issues whatsoever. Donno about the 790 Duke but it sounds like you had a bad run mate...

What are your feelings on the riding position as a tall rider? I’m 6’2 and I’m seriously considering buying this but the possibility of feeling too cramped scares me :/

I bought the Transalp because the Hornet is not available in the USA. It fits me perfectly. Love that engine.

THANK YOU TALL BIKER!

Thanks for this. 2022 Yamaha Tracer 9GT.

Nice review mate, I bought a hornet 2 weeks ago, and have already 650kms. I was so impressed when I test rode it I didn't bother trying out the 8s! I have ordered a slip on exhaust from Ali Express to give it even more attitude. This is bike number 27 for me and I can tell you it is possibly the best so far, it's a great bike and very hard to fault at all. It's so easy to ride and it's great fun!

Nice pictures but a lousy sound, you couldn't hear much of what was said

What a machine ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥looks performance reliability 🌟🌟🌟
