Been wanting the MT09 since they first came out to replace my 2009 Honda CBR600RR. Bought the 2017 MT09 bike 4 week go and loving it. Except for the terrible headlight pattern which i discovered the first time i had to tie the bike home in darkness. It's a serious safety issue of which Yamaha needs to investigate, recall and fix pronto before someone, or many, get injured or worse.

Extremely dangerous!! Nearly had a bad accident lucky my off road experience saved me. Headlight at night is terrible it's the wrong shape and too low even with high beam as soon at theres adequate lean angle there is no lighting in the corner or general direct. Awesome looking light but it's a death trap waiting too happen. First time I've ever had a bad ride and wanted to go home.

Ridiculous that I have had to consider buying and installing extra lighting because the standard is lethally poor

I would never expect a 2017 Yamaha motorcycle to have been allowed to leave the factory with such a poor front headlight beam pattern. Very unacceptable from Yamaha Corp.

Lighting ok when on high beam but normal doesn't give intense enough beam...

After adjusting the beam to the manufacturers recommendation it is still dangerous to ride at night. This is completely unacceptable.

The headlight pattern is not great and truthfully poses a safety concern while riding on the road at night.

Very poor light in corners at night. Almost crash due this issue.
