Imho. riding the demo bike I felt no fueling issue's.
On my bike. As its my pride and joy . Ive not taken it pass 6000 rpm and I've been riding it in standard mode most of time.

After riding the xtx anything is smooth. I am glad I didnt listen to MCN

Here's my MT in Race blue, tail tidy and fly screen.

:thumbsup: Nice!

I really like them, but the area above the headlight still puzzles me; it kind of looks as though somethings missing on the standard bike? Or, maybe its just Yamaha's way of saying you NEED to buy the accessory fly screen (or the whole Street Rally kit) - which you have done! ;)

To be fair to More Crap than News, the snatchy fuelling at low speeds in 'STD' and 'A' modes was picked up on by every single one of the journalists at the launch.

The snatchyness is the way they mapped the throttle, there is no power difference between A & B modes on the Dyno, the difference is A mod has a faster cam mapped into the ECU when compared to B mode.

We fitting a DNA filter tomorrow to the MT-09.

Interesting,

But IMO i don't any issue's with the fueling, its joy to ride slow or fast.


I put a DNA filter i had on my xtx, it had printed on the front, NOT FOR ROAD USE, so, if i had an accident on the bike and the insurance company checked over the bike, they would cancel the policy, so i took it off, has the MT -09 DNA filter got the same print?

I would grind off the not for road use off the filter.:icon_lol:

DNA Filter fitted + air box mods all done the MT-09 this morning = better roll acceleration.

The YAMAHA 250 TEN looks nice.:confused4:

I am with on that one, and it looks like a good price, but when is it in the UK?

I have been thinking of buying the ABS version, but have been put off by all the reviewers mentioning the snatchy delivery.

Will a Power Commander or similar sort it out, or is the bike stuck with the snatchy delivery?

My question to you is, how do get on with your xt?
mine is rough as u like, but I enjoy riding it, riding the MT09, it feels like a good um, very smooth.

Try one , and you will find its nothing to worry about.
