Yamaha MT-09 known problems
- Abrupt throttle response and soft suspension (2014): On the first models, abrupt/harsh response when opening the throttle from closed in the STD and A modes, and suspension with weak damping, are frequently mentioned in reviews and user forums; the throttle map was softened in 2015 and the 2017 update partly cured the problems.
- Recall: ECU software (2021–2022): On 2021–2022 MT-09/SP and Tracer 9 GT models (NHTSA 22V130), a faulty ECU program can cause the engine to stall when downshifting or at light throttle, and restrict throttle response; the ECU was updated free of charge.
- Recall: throttle position sensor (TPS): In 2025 an ECU update and TPS replacement campaign was opened for 2021–2025 MT-09s because, owing to an ECU parameter, the brushes inside the TPS could wear excessively and cause erratic idling or stalling (NHTSA 25V248, about 22,800 units in France).
- Recall: rider footpegs (2024–2025, Germany): In April 2025 in Germany, the footpegs were replaced on 2024–2025 MT-09, SP and Y-AMT models because their shape did not comply with an EU regulation.
- Recall: Y-AMT shift shaft (2026): In 2026 a shaft replacement campaign began in Japan and Finland for MT-09 Y-AMT models because the shift shaft could break with frequent gear changes; the situation in other countries should be asked of a dealer.
When buying a used Yamaha MT-09
- On 2021 and later models, verify with documentation that the ECU (22V130) and TPS campaigns were carried out; on vehicles where the ECU software has been flashed afterwards, the campaign may cause problems.
- On a 2014 model, ask whether the throttle map is up to date for the abrupt throttle response, and whether the suspension has been replaced.
- On the Y-AMT version, check the shift shaft campaign using the chassis number.
