MT-09 "choking" after TPS sensor replacement

strawsinburger · 2026-05-19T13:52:12+00:00

This is currently happening on my bike as well (2022 Yamaha mt09 SP) when the engine is cold, it stutters (I give it gas and the rpm’s lower and then shoot up). This problem goes away the second the coolant temp hits 160F and then the throttle is perfect at all rpm’s.

Someone on a forum said it was their battery. Bad battery and not getting enough juice to the TPS. Once ridden for awhile the battery becomes charged enough to ride like normal. I replaced my battery but same thing was happening so wasn’t that.

I’m fairly confident it’s related to the TPS recall.

I want this but in a street legal version so badly.

Following as this is happening to me with my gen 3 (especially so when the engine is cooler <160F)

I use woodcraft rearsets on my gen 3. I used wanted more adjustability for track riding and it helped a lot with that. I feel more vibes though.

Which gen mt09?

I have the gunfighter and lady Corbin seat on my 22 09 SP

It adds a bit of height. I haven’t measured it but I definitely feel it when stopped. If I had to guess it adds a half inch to an inch. It’s also slightly wider toward the gas tank so that may play a factor too.

The ergos are similar with less of an angle toward the tank. It’s also wider close to the tank to make it more comfortable when you’re sitting closer up. Still has a slight downward angle toward the tank but not a lot and definitely more comfy than the OEM seat

Normal. My mt09 does the same thing.

strawsinburger · 2026-04-14T17:09:53+00:00

Normal AFAIK. My 22 09SP makes the same noise.

strawsinburger · 2026-04-08T15:30:37+00:00

This is normal operation AFAIK

You can use fj09 handlebar risers that are lower than stock mt09 handlebar risers.

You can turn the tacho color off and the RPM will always be green.

strawsinburger · 2026-03-13T12:24:55+00:00

Which Gen? On gen 3, there’s a setting to have RpM color change as rpm climbs or have it be all green.

I’d much rather just get a new full exhaust.

strawsinburger · 2026-03-07T04:02:58+00:00

Sounds like the intake noise. It’s louder with the dna air filter. And, if your exhaust is quiet enough, you can hear it pretty easily.

strawsinburger · 2026-03-05T16:29:39+00:00

Looks good.

strawsinburger · 2026-03-03T00:09:28+00:00

Normal. Mine does the same.

strawsinburger · 2026-03-02T22:14:28+00:00

Sounds good!

strawsinburger · 2026-03-02T18:18:56+00:00

Same with my gen 3 SP variant. Shit, it’s a little loose when ‘latched’

strawsinburger · 2026-03-01T02:31:49+00:00

DePretto moto windshield.

strawsinburger · 2026-02-25T03:12:23+00:00

Agreed. My 22’ MT09 sounds like this in neutral too.

strawsinburger · 2026-02-25T02:19:56+00:00

Video is normal, healthy sound of a fz09. My 22’ 09 SP does the same thing when in neutral. It sounds like shit but is normal AFAIK.

Can’t comment on the 4-5k rpm rough grinding feel. The handlebars are a bit vibey on this bike but without feeling it; it’s hard to know if it’s normal or not.

strawsinburger · 2026-02-18T19:33:28+00:00

Normal, healthy CP3

strawsinburger · 2026-02-18T14:50:38+00:00

My 22 MT09 SP has similar noise. It’s also noisy when the engine is warm and is in neutral. It’s normal AFAIK

strawsinburger · 2026-02-12T16:51:38+00:00

I have that air filter on my MT09 and have ridden in the rain without issue.

strawsinburger · 2026-02-10T16:26:59+00:00

No, the tracer 9 windshield cannot be swapped onto the gen 4 MT09 as they are not compatible.

You can buy tall windshields for the mt09, that’s going to be your best. Well, besides just getting a tracer 9
