Dark energy

We took the engine, chassis and suspension from

our award winning YZF-R1 and asked our engineers
to create the ultimate MT.
With its new intake, exhaust and fuel system, the
MT-10 delivers stronger low to mid range torque for
stunning acceleration and instant response at any
speed. The short wheelbase aluminium Deltabox
chassis gives you class-leading agility - and with its
sophisticated electronics, you're in total control
however far or fast you want to go.
Aggressive mass forward styling and twin LED
headlights bring a dynamic new face to the Dark
Side - and a natural riding position gives day-today
versatility with plenty of comfort.

CP4, 4-cylinder crossplane engine

The 998cc, liquid-cooled, in-line YZF-R1-derived 4-cylinder engine
features new intake, exhaust and fuelling systems that contribute
towards its strong low to mid range performance. With an uneven 270
- 180 - 90 - 180 firing sequence, this exhilarating crossplane engine
delivers linear torque with instant response and precise control.

Electronic control technology

For the highest degree of rider control, the MT-10 is equipped with a
Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) as well as an easily adjustable
Cruise Control system that operates above 50km/h. To suit different
conditions the Yamaha D-MODE system offers three engine running modes
- and a 12V DC outlet can accommodate various accessories.

Traction control and A&S clutch

To ensure smooth and effective transmission of power from the high-torque
crossplane engine to the road surface, the MT-10 features a switchable
Traction Control System (TCS) with three intervention levels. And to give you
precise control during acceleration and deceleration, a compact Assist and
Slipper (A&S) clutch is fitted.

Upright riding position and mass forward silhouette

The handlebar/seat/footrest relationship gives a slightly forward leaning riding
position that enables you to make full use of the linear torque. And to emphasise
its dynamic 'mass forward' looks, the MT flagship features compact side cowls
with duct shaped covers as well as a shouldered fuel tank cover.

Short 1400mm wheelbase for ultimate agility

The MT-10's compact and lightweight chassis is developed from the award
winning YZF-R1 design. For outstanding agility together with light and
neutral handling this new class leader features fine-tuned geometry settings
and an ultra-short wheelbase of just 1400mm - making it one of the most
compact in the 1000cc class.

Lightweight aluminium Deltabox main frame and swingarm

This top of the range MT is equipped with a lightweight aluminium Deltabox
main frame and extra-long upward truss type aluminium swingarm that features
an optimised strength/rigidity balance. This YZF-R1 developed design delivers
class-leading handling with good straight line stability and lightweight agility.
