Cam Chain Tensioner (CCT): This is probably the most well-known issue, especially on first and second generation models (2013-2020). The automatic tensioner can wear quickly, resulting in a ticking noise at idle. Many owners replace it preventively with a manual tensioner.
Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) / Ride-by-Wire: Some models suffer from erratic throttle response or jerky behavior caused by a faulty TPS. This can lead to unwanted RPM fluctuations.
Clutch Rattle: The MT-09 naturally has a relatively noisy clutch. This rattling typically disappears once the clutch lever is pulled in.
Voltage Regulator/Stator: Stator defects can cause the engine not to start or lighting to dim as the battery fails to charge properly.
No recalls found
No manufacturer recalls have been identified for this motorcycle model.
