MT-09 Urban Roadster by LSL


LSL-Special – MT-09 Urban Roadster

EVERY year German aftermarket parts specialist LSL prepares a one-off build, based up on a new production machine, as a rolling showcase for its new parts. This year’s chosen model is the MT-09 from Yamaha, which the company has rebuilt as an ‘Urban Roadster’.
The most significant change to the bike has been the move to spoked wheels from Kineo to give the bike a retro look. Then the rider’s position has been changed by the use of a more contoured and higher seat, which is said to help prevent the rider sliding forward. The change of the handlebars to drag style handlebars further helps to improve rider comfort. In order to allow the fitting of the bars, LSL black anodized handlebar clamps are used and the bars themselves are fitted with LSL grips, LSL adjustable levers, bar end mirrors and bar end weights.
A further change to the rider contact points is the use of eight-way adjustable 2Slide rearsets, which are matched to LSL passenger pegs and like the front brakes fitted with anthracite coated stainless steel brake hoses.
Additional changes to the bike include fitting of a LSL Urbanline headlights, mini indicators, Neo LED taillight, aluminium license plate holder, crash bungs for the frame, forks and swingarm, and swingarm paddock stand bobbins.
