Character, style and added value. LighTech has created a range of products that breathe new life into the Iwata-based manufacturer’s naked bike, making it even more high-performance and appealing.
The Yamaha MT-09 has its roots in the mysterious, underground world of the ‘Dark Side of Japan’, the design philosophy that inspires its bold and rebellious character. One of the most popular mid-capacity sports naked bikes on the market, this motorbike is designed to offer maximum fun and adrenaline on any road. To enhance its value and appeal, LighTech offers a new range of premium accessories.
Rear trim: the adjustable license plate holder
The type-approved license plate holder enhances the bike’s aesthetics and includes a license plate light, reflector and brackets for indicators.

It is available in six different sizes with various mounting options: codes A1–A3 are made from carbon fibre and PA12 nylon for greater strength, whilst codes B1–B3 are made from aluminium.
The pack includes special brackets that allow for the fitting of both original and aftermarket indicators. The number plate holder is available in various sizes and is priced at €136.88.
Uncompromising precision: the chain adjuster
Machined from solid Ergal 7075, they guarantee high strength and more precise chain adjustment thanks to the external screw and laser-etched scale. A laser-etched scale is engraved on the chain tensioner to facilitate adjustment. They are available in Black, Gold, Red and Cobalt at a price of €290.36.
Ergonomics and riding: footpegs and levers
The adjustable ‘R’ version footpegs, machined from solid aluminium for a racing-style riding feel, offer multiple adjustment options and high rigidity, including folding footrests, carbon heel guards and titanium fasteners, priced at €756.40. Brake and clutch lever kits are available in black magnesium for €231.90 or in aluminium in Red, Cobalt and Grey for €262.30.
Safety and controls: lever guards and adaptors
The GC-Tech brake and clutch lever guards, made from a technical polymer with carbon and graphite, weigh just 39.6 grams and offer safety both on the track and on the road. They are 135 mm long, customisable with bushings in 7 colours, and are sold for €88.45 each. A special adapter is required for fitting to the original handlebars; this is available separately in black for €33.43.
Visibility and design: aluminium mirrors
The mirrors (not type-approved), machined from solid aluminium using CNC technology, offer an original design and are easy to fit on naked bikes, maxi-enduros and scooters.
They are sold in pairs (also available individually as spares) in Black or Red.
They are priced at 284.14 euros.
Workshop essentials: lifting and maintenance
The stand support, sold in pairs with M6 threads for €28.06, allows the motorbike to be lifted using fork stands, increasing its stability. To make the motorbike safer during maintenance, LighTech also offers a 2.6 kg matt stainless steel rear stand, fitted with branded rubber wheels and two forks. It is priced at €250.10.
Protection and style: frame protection and ring kits
The shock absorber frame protection kit safeguards the motorbike from impacts thanks to a structure made of aluminium, magnesium, nylon and shock-absorbing TPE rubber, supplied in a basic black configuration at €104.80. For further aesthetic customisation, aluminium ring kits are available in 8 colours, priced at €12.93 per kit.
