Engine

The potent 998cc inline 4-cylinder engine uses Yamaha’s famous Crossplane Crankshaft technology, developed for the Yamaha YZF-R1 superbike. The crossplane design almost eliminates inertial engine torque, allowing for a direct link between the throttle and the back tire, resulting in maximum traction and linear torque sensation. The MT-10 engine is tuned especially for the requirements of the high-performance street rider, producing incredible low- and mid-rpm torque and arm-stretching top-end power.

The engine architecture of the MT-10 2021 Yamaha Naked Bike motor provides the ultimate high-performance city sportbike. Strong, lightweight forged pistons and new carburized fracture-split connecting rods travel through an exceptionally stiff, closed-deck cylinder block, ensuring engine dependability. The engine’s cylinders have plated bores for suitable heat dissipation and cylinder sealing and are slightly offset to minimize friction losses. The rocker-arm valve actuation system uses each rocker arm’s lever ratio to allow for more significant valve lifts while utilizing fewer camshaft lobes and less spring pressure, resulting in increased power and economy.

To concentrate mass and make the engine shorter front-to-back, the 6-speed gearbox “stacks” the crankshaft, input, and output shafts in a triangle arrangement, with optimum engine placement in the frame for excellent handling.

A 12-liter airbox enhances rideability, particularly when switching from acceleration to deceleration or vice versa. The 12-hole fuel injectors are positioned to maximize combustion chamber filling for better power and torque. A broad curved radiator keeps the engine cool, while a small air-cooled oil cooler maintains oil temps constant in any weather. The need for extra components is reduced, and weight is saved, thanks to the simplified pipe and hose routing.

The stainless steel and titanium exhaust system on the MT-10 has a small midship exhaust chamber that helps with mass centralization and handling. Yamaha’s Exhaust Ultimate Power valve (EXUP®) technology regulates exhaust flow to deliver optimum exhaust back-pressure throughout the entire rpm range, further increasing economy.

When approaching corners aggressively, Yamaha’s assist and slipper clutch gives the rider smoother, more confident downshifts as well as an easy pull effort at the lever end, all while comfortably managing the torque of the MT-10’s high-output, inline-four engine.

Chassis/Suspension

Thanks to the ultra-compact 55.1-inch wheelbase, the MT-10 utilizes an aluminum Deltabox frame developed from the YZF-R1 superbike to produce a lightweight and responsive chassis designed for agility. For optimum cornering performance, the frame employs a strength-rigidity balance that was created especially for the MT-10 and utilizes the engine as a stressed component of the structure.

The MT-10’s front fork is an inverted 43mm KYB® with complete adjustability and 4.7 inches of travel for outstanding front-end feel and road holding, as well as a tuning range suitable for a variety of street situations. The KYB® piggyback-style shock has a rear bottom link pivot point that is carefully positioned for optimum handling and engine torque transfer to the road. The MT-10’s rear suspension, like the front fork, has a broad range of adjustability and a smooth and well-controlled 4.7 inches of wheel travel.

For outstanding braking power and control, a sophisticated anti-lock braking system (ABS) is linked to high-specification brake components. For excellent braking power, radial-mount, 4-piston front calipers grip a pair of massive 320mm discs with sintered brake pads. The small ABS module, supported by a 220mm rear disc brake, offers fast and precise braking force modulation to avoid wheel lock-ups. For agile handling and suspension, the MT-10 rides on lightweight 5-spoke aluminum wheels. Bridgestone® HypersportTM S20 tires, with a front size of 120/70ZR17 and a rear size of 190/55ZR17, are designed especially for the MT-10 for chassis-matched handling and grip.

Additional Features

Thanks to upright ergonomics that properly combine sporty riding input and relaxing comfort, MT-10 riders look forward to every ride. The rider is braced under maximum acceleration thanks to the tapered aluminum handlebar, optimum seat and footpeg location, and a hip stopper. The contoured 4.5-gallon gasoline tank design also ensures a secure knee grasp and lower body control.

The MT- 10 has tiny LED headlights for spectacular lighting and cutting-edge design, in addition to LED turn signals, running lights, and taillights. The mono-focus headlight components use relatively little electricity but create a precise, bright beam of light that gives you confidence and visibility in low light. With its strong center core that emphasizes the machine’s power and distinctive futuristic design, the MT-10 exudes raw aggressiveness from every aspect. The MT-10 stands out as the monarch of the MT series because of its bold appearance and distinctive features, such as the small frame-mounted front mask and dynamically shouldered fuel tank.

The MT-10 is pre-programmed and ready to use. It’s excellent for installing various Genuine Yamaha accessories, including windscreens, chassis protection, and other things, thanks to the exposed hardware. A standard 12V DC power outlet is available to charge your own mobile devices or other electrical equipment.

Electronics

The Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T®) ride-by-wire technology detects even the tiniest throttle input from the rider. It determines the optimum throttle valve opening and fuel input in real-time, and the rider gets a sense of torque and controllability from the potent 4-cylinder engine thanks to this technology.

The MT-10 2021 Yamaha Naked Bike also has a D-Mode, which enables the rider to choose a favorite engine response at the flick of a button, thanks to YCC-T. Mode 1 gives the most aggressive throttle response, Mode 2 an excellent all-around character, and Mode 3 the smoothest, most progressive throttle response. By rapidly adjusting throttle opening, ignition timing, fuel amount, and other factors, a sophisticated Traction Control System (TCS) helps the rider control traction on different road conditions. TCS Level 1 is designed for athletic riding on smooth roads, while TCS Level 2 is designed for everyday street riding. Wet roads and other low-traction conditions are optimized for Level 3. If the rider so chooses, the TCS may also be turned off.

When upshifting, the QSS employs a shift lever sensor that temporarily reduces engine power, enabling riders to choose the next gear without engaging the clutch or shutting the throttle, resulting in a smooth, lightning-fast shift and a more thrilling riding experience. The MT-10 comes with a YCC-T-powered cruise control system. The user may simply choose or change a fixed pace using the left handlebar switchgear, making long-distance travel on the highway easier and more comfortable.

A highly readable instrument display offers the rider crystal clear information at a glance. With a big speedometer display and bar-type tachometer, the all-LCD design is lightweight and small. A fuel gauge and fuel efficiency readouts, a gear position indicator, clock, odometers, and warning indications are also included on the panel. The rider’s preferences may also be programmed into an upshift timing light.
