Spark plugs is at 20K. Could recommend you sync the throttle bodies while you have the airbox removed.

Getting very close for a Valve check ..

I think its 20 000km service? Valves at 40 000 km🤓

Tight valves

True. I'm lifting the cam cover next time I change plugs, only the radiator in the way then.

 

[MT09 2014 Sweden]

No,no don't remove the radiator! Just remove the front fender and then the two top screws holding the rad, slide it off the bottom pin and pull it forward. Gives you plenty of room.

I put a sponge between the radiator and the front fender and let it rest on it. Removed the fan to clean the fan blades, a lot of dirt from winter riding.

Plugs arrived. The block off plates are on the way.
Motul7100 and hiflo filter inbound as well.

What does the Iridium plugs ad, extra mileage between changes?

block offs arrived. It’s coming together.

Please post some info on any difference in engine characteristics with block offs installed.

 

[MT09 2014 Sweden]

They make no difference in the way the engine performs and you can simply plug up the air box breather tube to achieve the same thing.
The plates allow you to remove the AIS plumbing that drapes itself over the cam cover to make a much neater and more accessible engine compartment.

Seems like a nice way to clean up and make things less complicated to work on.

 

[MT09 2014 Sweden]

Will be doing a Valve check half way this time, plugs and block offs it is then. Much easier to remove the airbox with no tubes attached.

@VEXX
That front brake looks nice. May I ask where you bought it?

 

[MT09 2014 Sweden]

It's the gen 3 Mt09 front Master. I already had it installed but removed to sort out the brake lines and remade a quick reservoir bracket.
OEM Gen 1 and 2 is 15mm, the gen 3 is 17mm. Better brake feel.

Thanks, been looking for a replacement to the original. Hard to find at a resonable price. The Yamaha original is quite expensive, but I guess you cant be cheap and go for no name-ones when it comes to brakes.

 

[MT09 2014 Sweden]

I was looking for the R1 master as many did here on the forum but prices went way up, and the cheap ones are all beat up. You can find the like mine for 90eur on the market.

Ebay or any other site?

I change plugs at 20K km according to the maintenance schedule, to me it looks like they could have lasted longer but once you reach them.. Is there a shorter intervall in the U.S service manual?

 

[MT09 2014 Sweden]

Ok, is that every other oil service? Its a bit strange that it differs in mileage between service intervalls depending on where you live 🤓.

I'm a bit curious to what happened on the dyno?

 

[MT09 2014 Sweden]

a beast was made... still need to go there again. you just pay once and you can go to dyno as many times as you like. B was tweaked for fuel efficiency. Std is a powerhouse and A is can only be used with warm tyres on the low gears or TC kicks right in.
I need STD to a bit more mellow so when I change my exhaust again I'm going there once more. I'm used to the responsive throttle now so it feels wrong when by some reason I use B... so much lag...

Nice😀. I used to ride B-mode a lot before I got A and STD-Mode flashed, now I like A-Mode the most. Did you notice any performance gains with that exhaust?
