PIER CITY CYCLES TOP 6 - BMW R9T PERFORMANCE MODS

Welcome to the Pier City Cycles Top Six Series. In these videos, we hope to be able to share our knowledge of having worked on the RnineT and R18 machines extensively over the past decade or so.

In this video Stu discusses our current top six favourite performance modifications to the R9T. These range from great, affordable quick wins to big ticket items which will help your bike handle like a dream. These are our opinions based on working on the R9T platform every day, but are by no means a be-all and end-all of parts that can improve your bike. This is by no means an exhaustive list, and new parts are available all the time, but it gives a great overview on how to get the most out of your Beemer. One obvious omission to this list is Tyres, we will be aiming to do a tyre talk in another video because there are so many considerations to make.

If you have any other tips, feel free to add them in the comments below - we're always interested in new ideas and products to help improve these great motorcycles..

Completely agree with all mods having had them done but changed my wheels to wunderlich before that was amazing nearly crashed for a month until I could recalibrate the lighter wheels

Great video Stu, time to book the Scrambler in for some more Pier City love 👍🏻

[dashuntas.m]

The overall quality of the videos and info on this channel are outstanding m, I hope to see you guys get bigger

Great video. I commute with my bike. I don't ride in heavy rain but sometimes weather is something not for me to control. with the exposed air filter, can it still work if it rains? or it is not the best option for a commuter?

[footfeathers]

I'm interested in doing the air box modification. The two biggest and most valuable upgrades I've done to the my '22 scrambler are the leather Unit Garage seat and Wilbers shock. My bike is completely different and better than it was originally.

What is your opinion about installing fans for the oil radiator to control the temperature when it is very hot in city traffic, regards

[raphaelmunck]

Hello, I would like to know if you need to do some engine tuning if you change the airbox to the filter cones? thank you

[johnclark]

Thanks for the tips.
I am not at all happy with my racers front or rear end suspension…
Might give you guys a call sometime

[aleks_the_Great]

Guys I've been following the content closely, amazing content... I would like to build a nine t into a megamoto style bike😊. Question regarding lifting the suspension with andreani cartridgeges?! 50mm raise can that be done on the nine t forks?

[patrick-bsp]

Does ECU need to be modified if upgrade the DNA filters?

[domd]

Have you guys, or anyone, actually done some comparative dyno runs with/without the rapidbike Evo? Does it actually increase HP or torque?

[DEFACTO]

Excellent list of mods, thanks guys... was a bit surprised tyres weren't included in the list though. How much for this package implementation ( without the removal of the old airbox) I wonder? I think youd get a lot of business if that was a standard package. All of this is less than a days job too. ( Guys your internet and videos game is on point, well done)

[jackolbean]

Does the Wilber rear shock give a cush ride? My '22 Pure hits like a brick over every pothole. How would you compare to TFX? I've heard Ohlins are a little more track oriented, your thoughts? What front forks / kit? Thanks!

[AmenCornerRider]

Thanks for the tips. Are there links to these upgrades?

[robertstimmel]

Can I do that rear shock upgrade to the low version of the r ninet?

[paulzeeb]

J’adorerais voir écouter ça en français😊

[georgiosyiannakou]

Interesting with good information. What is your opinion about adding an exhaust heat wrap? Does it improve performance? Cheers

[Nickbaldeagle]

Should put a graphic up with each point to say the cost.

[simonchilli]

It maxe me wonder why BMW don't pick up on some of these things and offer them as options. Maybe it would put the price up and people off buying in the first place. One other thing, I've seen several vids where comments are made like it's not a scrambler. Driving around in my Suzuki Wagon and going over or around potholes I think it's perfectly suitable for our roads.

is that posible to increase engine size to 1300cc with parts from other boxers from bmw like gs 1300?
