Both are faster and better handling

And 2 of them have as many cylinders as a Goldwing. 😜

Stock shows something behind the cylinders.

I watched a video that showed how to change the air filter, seemed pretty straight forward. It's not due until 24k (same as valves), so I have some time before I have to worry about it.

2 MT-09s weigh about the same as a Goldwing 🐖

I've never owned an inline bike (but all nakeds)and I test rode an early mt-09 but is it normal to see straight through the frame or is there usually something important there? Did their engineers move something to make the air filter harder to reach?

Not sure if I should point this out, but that's not a Goldwing.

After looking at many motorcycles that would be appropriate for retirement age...I made the mature decision and bought myself a new MT-09. It's light and the steering is really quick

While I'm at it disease fully attacking my lymth nodes.. (fuck me)

Friday night on my way home from work the transmission started shuttering and making a cavitation noise on acceleration in 1,2 and 3. checked the fluid at 150F it looked just a touch on the high side, not enough to cause issues I don't think and found a bunch more glitter, this could be the new bushings or could be a some left over from the electronics, might have missed. Soooo, hooked a pressure gauge up to the transmission. it's only running 65psi line pressure in park, neutral, OD, D, and 2 positions. reverse is 95psi. revving the engine sees nearly no change when revving, holding the brakes and revving to around 2500rpm sees a quick jump to 95psi. using HPT scanner, I can command higher line pressure 900-980mv are within the GM spec under 900mv sees quite a bit more pressure, which I would expect to see with the boost valve. I just, don't know why it's commanding 1.07v for pressure, force current motor voltage is all stock.. gonna go ahead and drops the pan tomorrow, I do believe I may have put a spring or two in the wrong spots in the valve body, so that might be an issue and addressing the glitter I'll check for evidence of bushing failure. maybe I can get away with just fixing the springs in the valve body, without pulling the trans out of the truck.. if I find evidence of fresh glitter, I'll pull the whole thing, replace all the bushings again and sand all the shafts again like Sonnax recommends, and while it's apart I'll also replace the thrust bearings, they didn't FEEL bad when I had it all apart and I soaked them in fresh fluid with the clutches, also going to do the sonnax pump spring.. So back up on Jack stands... Thinking it's a real Syclone or something 🤣

Sold for $2800 hope some kid got it to enjoy

Well Done, Keep your mind active.🤤 At 68 I am on a fast downhill in my daily life but on the motorcycle, It all comes back. also, practice the old man handshake.

Congrats Jim ! Welcome to the club 👍

Congrats Jim! You won't regret it. Been a useless male drone since 2006. Still having fun. And...every day is Saturday!

It's official.

Not mine but a pristine FJR in Seville. Since most of you guys are NEO, maybe there would be interest. (I rode one, didnt care for it) . https://www.fjrowners.com/threads/2016-fjr1300a-for-sale-ohio.160918/?post_id=1403660&nested_view=1&sortby=oldest#post-1403660

I would have bought it, but you used the wrong oil.

SOLD 6K

You definitely need a banana to ride when she doesn’t want to ride your banana!

Great, now I have gone down the auction rabbit hole and have about 10 different bids on shit i don't need!

Ok. I approve of this plan.
