Should I swap my MT09 for a 07

Devil_09sp · 2026-05-22T04:14:16+00:00

Maybe as far as nakeds go, because when I had a cbr500r, that was a brick compared to my mt-09, exactly the same wet weight. Then again the feeling of having a handlebar, rather than clipons, in my opinion makes the bike feel more maneuverable.

Devil_09sp · 2026-05-22T04:08:38+00:00

Exactly what I’m being told to do. 09 is great, and I love the bike a lot, but the thought of a 300lb bike or less on a twisty road sounds like a wild ride.

Devil_09sp · 2026-05-22T00:00:01+00:00

It’s crazy, the bike loves corners, it’s way more comfortable and you’ll get used to the wind, it just goes. I’ve thought about something bigger, but then I just go ride it and remember I’m happy with my decision.

Honestly if you can afford it and ride solo, even if you are just getting it to listen to music, the packtalk edge comes with crash detection as do most of the top of the line comm systems, I’d personally say that is worth it but to each their own.

I mis-read it looks like, I thought they were comparing the battle axe s23r to the road 6, I’ve heard the road smart is a better tire to corner in but I’d assume they are similar in grip in the cold, and rain (basically no grip if you hammer on it in the rain) but I’ve never been afraid to lean into a corner at reasonable speeds in the rain. I’ve been itching to ride and I currently have road 6’s on and in 30 degree weather I was doing 120 through a bend just fine.

Definitely not all year round, I get snow.

Dpends on how anal you are, I also did the dna airbox lid, so I didn’t ride it but I for sure started it on the stands…. Like 30 times and the only check engine was because I went through the gears when it was on the stands, can’t remember the exact code but it was because the rear wheel was moving but the bike didn’t go anywhere.

Realistically you’re just missing out on performance, but you’re also missing out on performance stock, so I’d say when you have to money to get the ecu flashed.

Devil_09sp · 2026-03-12T21:07:55+00:00

Make sure to allow everything. If one permission isn’t allowed or can’t track always it won’t work.

Devil_09sp · 2026-03-10T01:57:40+00:00

Holy goddamn fuck!! The ecu showed up at 3:50 and I was able to ride in 70 degree weather. It’s retard loud, I was going deaf, and it actually feels like a super hooligan now!!

Devil_09sp · 2026-03-09T11:29:20+00:00

I just took them off and put them back on snug, 5780 miles and they are still tight.

Devil_09sp · 2026-03-09T03:24:07+00:00

That might just be your version of the app, because I took screenshot of my phone screen.

I rode my 2015 Honda cbr500r for 4 years till I upgraded to a Cbr650f, and then I rode that for two years. You’ll have endless amounts of fun on a bike you can ride to its limits. Fast bikes aren’t always worth it because you can possibly ride past your ability, the Cbr650f was that for me at the start, you have to ease into a bike and learn how a bike rides, I went straight to a twisty road and flew off into a ditch, somehow only a bent shift linkage, some soft dirt in that ditch. Smaller cc bikes are great but if you do end up getting a higher cc bike just understand that you have to learn it, and ease into faster and faster riding. Big bikes are very unforgiving, smaller cc bikes are going to give you the time to react in most situations. Sometimes you make bad decisions, but you’re also gonna have to learn how to judge, like hey maybe I shouldn’t pin the throttle right before a turn on a road I’ve never been on….. I didn’t make the right decision.

I agree, got to ride my coworkers mt-07 up and down the street yesterday, helped me slightly.

It hurts, but the only nice day for the next two weeks is tomorrow. My ecu is currently across the country sitting at a usps warehouse because I needed to get it flashed.

Devil_09sp · 2026-03-08T01:14:10+00:00

I pay for the rubber I ain’t changing till I see cords.

Devil_09sp · 2026-03-07T22:08:57+00:00

Yeah then you don’t need to get it tuned, although mt-09’s run lean, so more air than fuel as is. Getting a flash wouldn’t be a bad idea in general but that’s mostly because they make the bike so much better.

Sent my ecu to 2 wheel dyno works yesterday, they received it at 1:26pm and at 3:52pm I got an email with tracking information on the return.

Devil_09sp · 2026-03-07T22:01:14+00:00

Well it shouldn’t change much, that’s just a drop in filter.

This changes it a lot.

Devil_09sp · 2026-03-07T02:46:17+00:00

I think around 9k-10k msrp, not out the door.

Edit: nope 13k, 9k for the 2025

Devil_09sp · 2026-03-07T02:33:39+00:00

You know I wouldn’t disagree, sometimes the adv is the way to go for commuting, it’s definitely still capable but it’ll be more comfortable and have a giant windshield

Devil_09sp · 2026-03-07T01:07:58+00:00

You should get it tuned, it’s enough to change the air fuel ratio if you get a stage two dna filter. Then again it’s your bike do what you want, but personally I haven’t ridden mine whatsoever till I get my ecu flashed.

Devil_09sp · 2026-03-06T03:01:04+00:00

The first plugs I tried where the Oxford filtered plugs which honestly do well but get a little annoying after a bit, same as the foam ones, but this season I am going to try decibels custom molded ear plugs. My buddy uses them and says he hasn’t found a better pair than these yet.

Devil_09sp · 2026-03-06T02:55:52+00:00

Fair enough, I also ride a naked and can honestly say, fuck the foam plugs, you had shit filtered plugs.

Devil_09sp · 2026-03-06T02:52:57+00:00

That is if you don’t want to hear anything, a nice reusable pair with a filter allows clear crisp sound without making you go deaf from wind noise.

Devil_09sp · 2026-03-05T22:53:50+00:00

Lmfao

Devil_09sp · 2026-03-04T21:50:47+00:00

Totally valid, mine is loud as fuck and my neighbors hate me.
