2021 Yamaha MT-09 – Sound enhancement

Feel a whole new level of torque acceleration with the MT-09’s totally redesigned engine, intake and exhaust systems. Not only does the MT-09’s redesigned engine provide a more powerful ride, but its all new intake and exhaust valves deliver a whole new feeling of torque and acceleration. #DarkSideOfJapan

Yamaha: we spent millions designing the sound of the stock muffler
Rider: *throws on the cheapest, loudest exhaust they can find
Yamaha: Are we a joke to

[pratikkokate]

Why didn't designing team work as hard as sound team

[photographerjonathan]

I just hope they also put R&D into making the bike have more front end feel and stability so the bike feels planted.

Test ride the 2022 stock MT09 SP just love how the engine respone and the exhaust note, is just a music to my ear, Love it

I'm actually one of the few people who A: like the new design of the bike, I like where it's going, embracing it's unique quirky design and B enjoy the sound of the old MT09's stock exhaust. If it sounds anything like the old one + a little more grunt from the intake I think people would be more than happy. Aftermarket exhausts get a little too obnoxious a little too quickly.

Personally I like the underslung exhaust with the twin outlets. Bravo Yamaha for complimenting the centralised lines of this awesome looking snarling beast

Among other 3 cylinder engines, this is one of very smooth and very kind sound after 3 cylinder engine from Triumph and MV Agusta. Excellent work, Yamaha ! I appreciate that 👍

So far I like it and won’t be replacing it.

I’m loving how the “Dark Side of Japan” is actually being filmed on the streets of Warsaw 😂

Yamaha should sack front lamp design team manager and get the inspiration from their last model rather than sci-fi film "I Am Mother"...

*”Aftermarket Exhaust”* Hold my beer 🍺

I always thought the look of a bike isn't that important and its all about the ride. That was right until I saw the 2021 MT09

[ream]

Nice behind the scenes, please make this for the new engine and frame too

[GravityBunk]

I’d fire the guys that designed and approved that headlight.

[xpinchx]

Can't wait to rip this thing off and put on an aftermarket exhaust lol

[Big_]

Perfect bike, good brakes, electronics, suspension, engine capable to beat the z900 and 890R and the price, same price as the old mt09. Good work Yamaha!

[trixzl]

Just installed MIVV exhaust, and removd the catalyst. I'm gonna be a Yamaha engeneer

[voyteq]

I would love to see a wheelie stability control system which will keep you in the balance point no matter what 👍

After all those efforts, looks department killed it.

The Yamaha guys sets security first; full gear and helmet on the dyno..
