Hi everyone, my R9 (~2,000 km) developed noticeable vibrations after a tire change.
They start around 5,000 RPM, mainly under acceleration/load, and almost disappear when I pull the clutch or close the throttle. The wheels have been balanced and the front wheel was carefully reinstalled.
I also adjusted the chain tension around the same time. It was initially quite tight. After loosening it, the vibration changed and shifted to a higher RPM range, but didn’t disappear.
Interestingly, the vibration gets stronger when hitting bumps/road dips and the rear suspension compresses, even at constant RPM/speed/throttle.
I mainly feel it through the footpegs, tank/frame and handlebars.
Any ideas? Could this still be related to chain tension/alignment or the rear wheel/drivetrain?

Where would be the best place to get some good looking and fitting fairing combos? I have the blue fairings and I think swapping it with some black fairings (maybe carbon fiber) will look sick with the wheels.

I seen monster fairings but I have no clue of the quality or the options from eBay / aliexpress

Is there a proper way to do it? I've heard various ways to remove fuse etc. I ultimately want the abs for the front deleted temporary so I can still reinstate it back when I'm selling the bike. I also want it to be error free once I delete the abs. Any idea how can I do that

does anyone have any tips so i could clutch up my r9. i had a 2015 fz-07 before but now i wanna pop up my r9 but it wont come up in 2nd or 3rd with traction control off and rear abs on. if you have any ideas id greatly preciate it. i also took off my wheel speed sensor but still wasn’t able to clutch it up dont know if its a rider error or bike but im just not use to all the tech

Race bike is finally completed
Looks beautiful

Hello R9 Fellas, i own a MT09 but i absolutely love the R9 although i'm just too tall for a sportbike, it just looks like a sharp knife to me.

But.

Why are there no orders of the anniversary livery? I always see blue and black, but why is no one ordering this beauty? Or are they on backorder or something like that?

Greets from Austria

Planning on doing some cosmetic mods on my new R9 (mirrors, slide protectors, protective mesh on the radiator, tinted plexiglass, brake+clutch levers, brake fluid reservoir caps… etc).

I will have to do the Yamaha warranty service in 500km so I would like to know if they have any issue with customers swapping mirrors etc for aftermarket parts? I’m a bit worried that they will shorten or deny any any warranty services in the future.

So i am trying to make my bike look kindoff like a race bike. Does anyone have done something similair to this for some i spiration?

Also i would prefere the sticker to include something thst is relevent like the KYB or Brembo the bike actually has

Thank you!

Hello. I have a 2026 R9. I bought the bike with zero miles it. I’ve put 5085 miles on my bike before the engine failed. Have anyone experience this before with the R9? Yamaha gave me good news and replacing my old engine with a brand new crate engine under warranty. I’ve ask questions on why my engine failed so bad with high oil consumption to failing camshaft and throwing a rod. They just told me that I had a bad motor out of the bunch. I did my 600 mile break in properly and did the oil change with the dealership where I’ve bought the bike. They pulled my ECU data to make sure I didn’t abuse the bike. they approve that it was a machine error and not the rider’s fault (ME). I’m just afraid that this might happen to me again. I heard good things about the CP3, some reports of them going beyond the normal life span. How reliable is the CP3?

I’ve been dirtbiking since I was a lil thing and I’ve worked my way up to a 2015 KTM 350 Six Days, which has been my bike for the last 2 years or so. I’m 18 and moving to Nebraska soon, and I’ve got bit by the sport/street bike bug.

I’ve been doing some research, and with my comfort and skill on a dirtbike, I feel like I can handle a little bit bigger of a beginner bike. I originally wanted a KTM 990 RCR, but after looking into it more, I decided I didn’t wanna spend nearly as much time or money fixing it, especially with how aftermarket parts are for it.

I started looking at some alternatives, and the Yamaha YZF-R9 came up. The more I look into it, the more I’ve been changing my mind toward the R9.

prolly not gonna change my mind at this point, just wanna hear some other opinions from people who know more about street bikes than I do.

I got my R9 a few weeks ago and while using the MyRide app I noticed that it doesn’t work as it should (at least for me)

As far as I understand the app features automatic ride recording option - Start the bike up - phone connects- app starts recording- turn the bike off-phone disconnects- app stops recording and saves the ride… simple

first few rides were recorded successfully (automatically turned the recording on and then after the ride, turned off and saved) that was for the first 3 rides, then it just decided it wouldn’t work anymore no matter what. I can successfully connect to my R9 and receive notifications etc… but ride recording wouldn’t turn on automatically and when I turn it on manually then I have to turn it off manually as well… super annoying.

Since I’m using iPhone I set-up automatisation to open the MyRide app when Bluetooth connects to my motorcycle solving the problem with manual app opening before every ride but it still doesn’t want to record anything automatically.

Also I wasn’t successful with uploading YRC settings from app to bike, I can see the new profile I set up on the R9’s screen but it always throws an error when trying to upload to bike…

Anyone having same issues or it’s just me again? 😂😭

Tried this out, $65. Little cheaper than $200 for everything i would need for a quad lock, no extra parts or hardware needed, attached right to reservoir bracket. So far so good screen doesn't vibrate when using GPS or anything, 130mph didn't budge.

Bike washed, chain cleaned and oiled! Lets Go!!!!

This is how is sitting today👀

I've wiped it away a few times. Its not a substantial amount and I cant imagine its a critical risk - likely just a combination of heat, motion, and an overtorqued steering stem nut? Wanted to see if anyone has seen this on their R9.

Thanks!

I want to get a new bike and one of my options is the yamaha r9 2026. I am scared however, that I am too tall (1.88m) to really experience the bike. Can anyone on the taller side with experience give me their personal oppinion?

There are two nipples right next to each other on the bottom of the fuel tank. I removed the tank to get my ECU out and install an air filter, and I forgot to note which hose connects to which nipple.

The two hoses are the fuel tank breather hose and fuel tank drain/overflow hose. Does anyone know which hose goes to which nipple? Or does it not matter which one goes to which?

I’m looking for tail tidy that looks clean. The NRC tail tidy looks like what I’m looking for but from what I read on here is that it has holes between the plate and signals. I’m trying to find out if there is a fix out there for it or are the holes even an issue. Also I’m also wondering if anyone has used a different plate bracket with the NRC. Or should I just a different one. Appreciate the help.

I've never had a bike with two spots for spool sliders. Which location should I use, the one closer to the front or back? What's the difference?

Been riding for 10+ years and never have ridden a bike with a tune that neuters 2nd gear so bad. I am absolutely mesmerized because all the other R9 owners I’ve talked to in person have said they have no idea what I am talking about. Drives me nuts, that 2nd gear has 75% power. What tune and exhaust recommendations do you all have, I need to get this thing running how it should be from the factory.

Bonus question, I’ve seen mixed reviews about mt09 exhausts direct bolting up to the r9. I’ve seen some people say it bolts right up and others say they had to make special brackets and sometimes clearance is an issue when leaning on the right side.

I don't like that big whole for the central light ngl... is there any mod, accessory we can add or whatever ? TY !

Another exhaust question. Has anyone got themselves the full system Austin racing exhaust? I am looking at it with the black hardcoat, uncoloured etch logo and black end cap. Wondering about noise with the baffle and opinions on value, quality, looks, any concerns etc.
