Discussions and Questions Yamaha Fz 09
What does the FZ 09 look like in 2025 compared to modern naked bikes?

It’s still performance wise competitive but lacks in terms of features. Newer bikes have things like cornering ABS and advanced traction control — game changers.
What would be the most worthwhile upgrade for the FZ09?
10 January 2025 08:21
I'd say tires. How the bike handles and feels make a huge difference, and a good set of sticky rubber will make a big difference. It’s also a relatively cheap upgrade, plus.
What does the FZ09’s stock suspension feel like for daily riding and some spirited runs?

Cruising around town, the stock suspension is fine, but it just doesn’t hold up to the faster stuff in the twisties. If you like to ride hard, it definitely needs an upgrade.
Are people right about the jerky fuel mapping and throttle response on the FZ-09?

Once you get an ECU flash it is night and day. Totally worth it and the bike transforms. This should have been like this from the factory.
Is the FZ09 too much bike for a new rider?

If you have a good head on your shoulders and get proper training, it can be done. Why make learning harder on yourself? But there are better starter options out there.
