Yamaha MT-09

EU5 890cc CP3 engine
The 890cc liquid-cooled 3-cylinder engine is light, quick and powerful, giving high torque at low rpm. The intake and exhaust produce a beautiful sound that enhances the feeling of acceleration. The fuel injectors give increased efficiency, while optimised gear ratios and a refined A&S clutch match the high output of the EU5-compliant engine.

Lightweight CF aluminium die-cast frame
The compact CF die-cast aluminium frame design is a modern take on the Deltabox layout, providing a high level of chassis stiffness for excellent rider feedback, stability and increased dynamic riding window. Its optimised swingarm pivot structure, light and slim chassis give a more laidback feel, making the MT-09 an excellent day-to-day partner.

Next-generation design and styling
Pure, bare and beautiful – the new-generation MT design leads the Hyper Naked line into the new decade. Minimalist ‘coverless’ styling dispenses with unnecessary bodywork and uses only the frame and structural components to express lightness and agility – while the Crystal Graphite frame finish accentuates the functional beauty of mechanical parts.

6-Axis IMU plus lean-sensitive rider aids
Developed from the R1, the compact 6-axis IMU governs the MT-09’s high-tech rider aids, including a lean-sensitive 3-mode Traction Control System (TCS), Slide Control System (SCS) front wheel LIFt Control System (LIF) and Brake Control system (BC). With this best-in-class electronic control technology, the MT-09 gives you ultimate control in varying weather and surface conditions.

Full-colour 3.5-inch TFT display
The 3.5-inch full-colour TFT display features a bar-type tachometer that changes colour as rpm rises or falls, as well as a clock and displays for fuel, average mileage, water temperature, air temperature and a gearshift indicator. Handlebar switches enable you to easily change displays and information, as well as adjust the settings on the optional genuine Yamaha grip heaters.

Compact, bifunctional LED headlight
A compact and handsome bifunctional single LED headlight produces a powerful high and low beam, with an excellent beam spread that has soft, easy-on-the-eye edges. This single projector headlight gives the MT-09 a truly distinctive next generation face, while the lateral LED position lights project a signature Y-shape that is matched by the LED taillight.

Quick Shift System (QSS)
The up and down Quick Shifter System enhances the sport riding experience by enabling super-fast upshifts for outstanding acceleration from the more powerful 890cc CP3 engine. The downshift function allows smoother gear changes, which maintains chassis stability even when cornering, to give a more controlled feel when decelerating.

Lightweight SpinForged wheels
Weighing 700g less than the previous model, the SpinForged wheels give an outstanding chassis agility by decreasing the moment of inertia at the rear by 11%. This reduced unsprung weight also enhances suspension performance and contributes towards an impressive 9% improvement in fuel efficiency.

Adjustable suspension
Fully adjustable 41mm front forks run with optimised settings that match the character of the compact high-rigidity frame and reduce the tendency to pitch, giving a smoother and more controlled ride. The adjustable rear suspension features multiple settings, as well as a revised linkage to match the swingarm.

Radial front brake master cylinder
The MT-09’s state-of-the-art braking system is equipped with a radial front master cylinder that produces a linear supply of hydraulic pressure to the 4-pot calipers that are mounted to the dual 298mm front discs, giving outstanding braking performance with fingertip control.
