MT-09 Yamaha 2018 Naked Sports Bike – Features and Price

Engine Features

The engine of MT-09 Yamaha 2018 Naked Sports Bike is known for its following characteristics;

• 847cc
• Liquid-cooled
• Inline 3-cylinder
• DOHC

This engine offers an outstanding ride-by-wore throttle control plus it contains bore to stroke ratio of 78 mm and 59.1 mm respectively. The driver can provide a new, torquey and quick-revving engine character, perfectly splitting the best characteristics of both 2 and 4 cylinder motors in a compact and lightweight package like in 2018 Yamaha MT-07 Sports Bike.

The latest cross-plane crankshaft concept engine offers the linear torque development in response to the rider’s throttle input for a more responsive engine thrust. Moreover, the bike has a new counterbalance that helps in canceling all unwanted vibration. This CP3 engine contains three-cylinder, which is 5mm bore forward towards the exhaust side. This increment reduces the piston to cylinder wall friction to ensure more power and better fuel economy.

The latest forged connecting rods are made by using the fracture-split method, where the big-end rings of the connecting rod are purposefully fractured and then reassembled. It results in guaranteeing the unparalleled degree of manufacturing accuracy. It creates a pair of perfectly matching halves that offer a more precise mating surface when they are joint together again around the crankshaft. The latest three intake funnels have been specially designed to receive torque curves and unique intake sounds. An all-new Yamaha’s assist and slipper clutch offer a smooth and confident downshift while entering into corners.

The MT-09 Yamaha 2018 Naked Bike features the compact 6-speed transmission offering low-to-mid range torque. It contains the crankshaft, input and output shafts, which are stacked in a triangular layout that centralizes the mass plus it keeps the engine shorter front-to-back. It also allows having an optimized engine placement in the frame for a more fabulous handling experience. The handling is further enhanced by placing muffler lower in a frame and close to its center. The short and stylish exhaust outlet provides a sweet exhaust note that everybody loves.

Chassis / Suspension Features

The 2018 Yamaha MT-09 features the strong controlled-fill cast aluminum frame. All the following quality components are installed to ensure the sporty look and upright riding position;

• Wheelbase
• Seat height
• Fuel tank width

An inverted fork of 41 mm is fully adjustable for compression damping, rebound damping, and spring preload. It allows the riders to achieve greater flexibility in tuning the bike.

Moreover, the fork separates compression and rebound damping into separate fork legs, which makes it easy to fine-tune for the perfect setup across the fork travel. The rear suspension contains the linkage-type Mono-cross shock, adjustable for rebound damping and spring preload. The excitement includes an almost horizontal alignment for an unusual position that creates an excellent mass centralization and a slimmer body design.

The new lightweight aluminum wheels of 10-spoke are used which are fitted with the 120/70ZR17 front tire and 180/55ZR17 rear tire. These tires are built to Yamaha’s specification that offers excellent all-around handling and grip. The braking system comprises up of front brakes of paired floating 298 mm discs with radial-mount, 4-piston calipers, backed up by the 245 mm rear rotor offering an ideal combination of power and feel. An anti-lock braking system (ABS) comes as standard for additional confidence to the rider.

Electronics

The new ride-by-wire Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) system senses the minute slightest throttle input by the rider and instantaneously calculates an ideal throttle valve opening. This technology contributes to the rider’s feeling of torque and controllability from the 3-cylinder engine. The Traction Control System (TCS) assists the rider in managing traction on various road conditions by quickly modulating throttle opening, ignition timing, and fuel volume. The TCS includes two modes to suit different road conditions, and the rider can also disable it if they want to disable it.

The 2018 MT-09 contains Yamaha’s D-Mode system that allows the rider to choose an optimum engine character for their riding situation and preference. The rider can choose from following three throttle valve control maps;

1. Standard Mode
2. A – Mode
3. B – Mode

All plans provide different throttle response characteristics at the push of a button. The lightweight, compact all-LCD meter is attached to the floating-style headlight assembly for a professional appearance. It also contains a digital bar-type display with a prominent speedometer and gear position indicator.
