In addition to the unique Icon Performance color, the MT-09 SP is also equipped with a special double stitched seat to achieve the ultimate fit. In addition, brushed anodized rocker arms, anodized black handlebars and levers, and smoky brake fuel tanks add a premium look and feel to the model.
The new 890cc liquid-cooled three-cylinder DOHC fuel injection engine MT-09 SP adopts the newly developed 890cc liquid-cooled three-cylinder, DOHC, four-valve-per-cylinder fuel injection (YCC-T) engine with downdraft intake ports. The cylinder diameter × stroke of 78 mm × 62.1 mm and the compression ratio of 11.5:1 provide excellent torque and powerful power transmission characteristics. Almost all basic parts of the engine, from pistons and connecting rods to crankshafts, camshafts and crankcases, have been redesigned to reduce weight. The combination of improved combustion efficiency and lighter weight produces an impressive 49 MPG fuel efficiency.
The KYB® front suspension of the premium KYB® and Öhlins® suspension MT-09 SP can be individually adjusted on each side to achieve compression and rebound damping. The high-speed and low-speed compression damping can also be adjusted to provide riders with more detailed settings to choose from. The DLC coating of the 41 mm inner tube provides excellent sliding characteristics while also increasing the quality of the appearance. The rear shock absorber of the MT-09 SP uses high-quality Öhlins® shock absorbers and remote preload adjusters to complete this first-class suspension package.
Cruise Control MT-09 SP is equipped with a cruise control system to make riding easier and easier. When the driving speed is at least 31 mph (or 50 km/h) and in 4th gear or higher, cruise control can be set. After setting the cruising speed, you can increase or decrease the speed in increments of 1 mph (or 2 km/h) by simply pressing the switch or holding the switch continuously. Cancel cruise control by braking or using clutch or throttle. The "Resume" function re-enables the system and restores the bike to the previously set speed.
The unique shape MT-09 SP has special colors and graphics, a distinguished seat cover with fashionable contrast stitching, a transparent coated silver rocker arm and smoked front and rear brake fluid reservoirs, showing the pure mechanical beauty of the bicycle . Together, these features demonstrate the high-quality and unique appearance of the MT-09 SP in the MT series, and at the same time associate the bicycle with the colors only found on the YZF-R1M. In addition, the joystick, handlebars and drive sprocket are all in smooth black, which further complements the design of the MT-09 SP, giving the rider a feeling of being integrated with the machine.
Lightweight Aluminum Frame The lightweight aluminum frame of the MT-09 SP demonstrates the iconic "agility" of MT. In order to ensure linear stability and handling performance, the balance of longitudinal, lateral and torsional stiffness has been improved. Most notably, the lateral stiffness has been increased by approximately 50% to achieve higher linear stability. The new frame is manufactured using Yamaha’s latest controlled filling (CF) die-casting technology, which contributes to the weight reduction of the MT-09 SP
Six-axis IMU MT-09 SP uses a newly developed six-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU), which retains the basic performance of the proven IMU in YZF-R1, but due to the sensor layout. The engine control unit (ECU) that receives and reflects the data from the IMU is equipped with three driving assistance systems: traction control system (TCS), slip control system (SCS) and front wheel LIFt control system (LIF). All three systems work together to help the rider focus on riding to better realize the potential of the machine. Each system can also be turned on or off, and its intervention level can be adjusted according to preference. With this first-class electronic control technology, MT-09 SP allows you to achieve ultimate control in different weather and surface conditions.
3.5-inch full-color TFT meter display The 3.5-inch full-color TFT display of the MT-09 SP has a bar tachometer, which can change color as the speed rises or falls. There is also a clock and displays remaining fuel, average mileage, Water temperature, air temperature and gear shift indicator (the gears in use have the opposite color). Use the handlebar switch to easily switch between display and information.
MT-10 SP and MT-09 SP adopt the new Icon Performance color
After a comprehensive redesign in 2021, a new 890cc CP3 engine with a lighter and more compact chassis was introduced. The popular MT-09 and the advanced specification MT-09 SP now comply with EU5 standards.
This is one of the most important developments in the history of this model, as it expands the potential appeal of the bicycle, and riders can enjoy one of the most exciting and stylish motorcycles in this important category. .
MT-09 and MT-09 SP are very attractive options for riders of all ages.
The MT-09's cross-plane engine provides linear torque output with impressive performance. The low speed in each gear has strong acceleration capabilities, making it one of the most exciting models in its class.
Engine The new 890cc liquid-cooled three-cylinder DOHC fuel injection engine MT-09 SP adopts the newly developed 890cc liquid-cooled three-cylinder, DOHC, four-valve-per-cylinder fuel injection (YCC-T) engine with downdraft intake ports. The cylinder diameter × stroke of 78 mm × 62.1 mm and the compression ratio of 11.5:1 provide excellent torque and powerful power transmission characteristics. Almost all basic parts of the engine, from pistons and connecting rods to crankshafts, camshafts and crankcases, have been redesigned to reduce weight. The combination of improved combustion efficiency and lighter weight produces an impressive 49 MPG fuel efficiency.
Efficient fuel delivery system The fuel delivery system has been completely redesigned from the previous MT-09. The injector is installed directly on the cylinder head, but the injector of the MT-09 SP is now installed on the throttle side of the throttle body. The fuel injector is now injected at the rear of the intake valve head to promote fuel atomization and reduce the adhesion of fuel particles to the port wall, resulting in excellent combustion efficiency. The throttle is operated using the Yamaha Chip Control Throttle (YCC-T) electronic system, which has been extensively verified on the YZF series models and the early MT-09 models.
Light Forged Pistons Light forged pistons provide smooth, high-speed power.
Fracture splitting connecting rod Forged connecting rods are manufactured using the fracture splitting method—the big end ring of the connecting rod is purposely broken and then reassembled—to ensure unparalleled manufacturing accuracy. This produces a pair of perfectly matched halves, and when the rods are bolted together again around the crankshaft, they produce a more precise mating surface.
The offset and direct plated cylinder CP3 engine has its three cylinder bores installed forward, towards the exhaust side. This offset reduces the friction between the piston and the cylinder wall, generates more power and improves fuel economy, while the directly plated ceramic composite cylinder bore provides excellent heat dissipation and reduced friction.
The muffler on the MT-09 SP symmetrical muffler with dual outlets helps reduce overall weight and mass concentration, but also produces low-frequency exhaust sound at low speeds. The exhaust tailpipes are symmetrical to the left and right, guiding sound pressure to both sides of the machine, creating an exhaust sound and transmitting torque to the rider. Each stainless steel manifold has a different curvature and length to obtain an excellent pulse effect.
Harmonious intake system The intake system is suitable for the new engine and provides a linear response when the rider opens and closes the throttle. The three intake pipes also help provide excellent engine sound at mid-range and high revs. These ducts are designed with different cross-sections and lengths, so the intake sound generated by them individually resonates harmoniously in different wavelength ranges. At the same time, the sound pressure has also been adjusted to create a pleasant sound in the mid-to-high speed range. The result is an air filter box that achieves good air intake efficiency and pleasant sound, enhancing the sense of acceleration.
The auxiliary and slip clutch MT-09 SP has an auxiliary and slip (A&S) clutch. The specification of this clutch is best matched with the new engine, which can achieve lighter clutch tension and smoother chassis behavior during downshifts.
Optimized transmission ratio The transmission ratio has been optimized, and the transmission ratios of the first and second gears are slightly higher than the previous MT-09 (first gear: from 2.666 to 2.571; second gear: from 2.000 to 1.947). Combined with the increased crankshaft inertial momentum and fuel injection settings, the gearbox provides the right balance between powerful torque and ease of use, from acceleration to stop.
Lightweight Aluminum Frame The lightweight aluminum frame of the MT-09 SP demonstrates the iconic "agility" of MT. In order to ensure linear stability and handling performance, the balance of longitudinal, lateral and torsional stiffness has been improved. Most notably, the lateral stiffness has been increased by approximately 50% to achieve higher linear stability. The new frame is manufactured using Yamaha’s latest controlled filling (CF) die-casting technology, which contributes to the weight reduction of the MT-09 SP
Aluminum die-casting sub-frame MT-09 SP adopts a controllable filling aluminum die-casting sub-frame, which can reduce the weight and give this model the iconic agility.
The lightweight, high-rigidity swing arm MT-09 SP is equipped with a newly developed swing arm that uses an aluminum plate welded box shape to achieve high rigidity and is 250 grams lighter than the previous MT-09 model. The rocker pivot structure of MT-09 SP is externally connected to the frame. Combined with the changes in chassis stiffness and the thorough engineering design of the shape of the parts around the seat, this design demonstrates the slim feel of the MT-09 SP while still providing excellent high-speed straight-line stability and higher cornering stability.
Lightweight swaged aluminum wheels MT-09 SP adopts lightweight wheels. These wheels are manufactured using Yamaha's unique swaging technology, which helps provide excellent handling. As the rear inertial momentum is significantly reduced by 11%, these wheels make a significant contribution to the agile handling characteristics of the MT-09 SP.
Braking for sports riding To support more dynamic sports riding, MT-09's most advanced brake is equipped with a radial Nissin master cylinder for the front brake. The piston in the master cylinder moves in a direction parallel to the stroke of the brake lever, which helps to provide a more linear hydraulic supply for excellent controllability. Following the YZF-R1, the MT-09 SP is Yamaha's second model to use this technology, which can be controlled with just your fingertips.
Adjustable riding posture The riding posture is designed to adapt to riders of different physiques. The handlebars and pedals can be adjusted to two different positions, allowing the rider to set a position so that they feel safe the moment they ride the bike. The handlebar clamp can be rotated forward by 10 mm, and the footrest can be raised by 14 mm and rearward by 4 mm.
The KYB® front suspension of the premium KYB® and Öhlins® suspension MT-09 SP can be individually adjusted on each side to achieve compression and rebound damping. The high-speed and low-speed compression damping can also be adjusted to provide riders with more detailed settings to choose from. The DLC coating of the 41 mm inner tube provides excellent sliding characteristics while also increasing the quality of the appearance. The rear shock absorber of the MT-09 SP uses high-quality Öhlins® shock absorbers and remote preload adjusters to complete this first-class suspension package.
The designers of the next-generation design MT-09 SP tried to better express the major advancements in machine performance by visually highlighting the pure power of the bicycle. The minimalist design concept provides an appearance, everything except the basic elements, to highlight lightness and agility, while simulating the senses of the rider.
The unique shape MT-09 SP has special colors and graphics, a distinguished seat cover with fashionable contrast stitching, a transparent coated silver rocker arm and smoked front and rear brake fluid reservoirs, showing the pure mechanical beauty of the bicycle . Together, these features demonstrate the high-quality and unique appearance of the MT-09 SP in the MT series, and at the same time associate the bicycle with the colors only found on the YZF-R1M. In addition, the joystick, handlebars and drive sprocket are all in smooth black, which further complements the design of the MT-09 SP, giving the rider a feeling of being integrated with the machine.
The full LED lighting MT-09 SP is equipped with a compact dual-function (low beam and high beam combined into one) LED headlights with excellent beam spread. The edge of the beam has a softer contrast, which is easy for the eyes while emitting soft and uniform illumination. Different from the traditional "single focus" type headlights, this bicycle uses a projector design, in addition to the thick outer lens, it also has a built-in lens. Since the MT-09 SP uses not one but multiple LEDs to generate light, it can project complex lighting distribution in a wide field of view. The position lights use LEDs and light guides to create an impressive and distinctive new front face design for the MT-09 SP, while the turn signals and the newly designed LED tail lights are also LEDs.
After preparing accessories, fender eliminators, windshields, comfortable seats, engine guards, etc. can all be added to the MT-09 SP to support and enhance the appearance of the bicycle.
Six-axis IMU MT-09 SP uses a newly developed six-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU), which retains the basic performance of the proven IMU in YZF-R1, but due to the sensor layout. The engine control unit (ECU) that receives and reflects the data from the IMU is equipped with three driving assistance systems: traction control system (TCS), slip control system (SCS) and front wheel LIFt control system (LIF). All three systems work together to help the rider focus on riding to better realize the potential of the machine. Each system can also be turned on or off, and its intervention level can be adjusted according to preference. With this first-class electronic control technology, MT-09 allows you to achieve ultimate control in different weather and surface conditions.
Driver Assist Traction Control System Traction Control System (TCS) has three modes: Mode 1, Mode 2 and Mode M for manual settings. Each mode integrates three rider support systems by simultaneously changing the degree of intervention of TCS, SCS and LIF. Using mode M, the user can select his/her preferred intervention level for TCS, SCS and LIF respectively.
Tilt Angle Sensitive Traction Control System Traction Control System (TCS) detects the speed difference between the front and rear wheels and helps to effectively extract driving force from the rear tires during acceleration. The TCS on the MT-09 SP uses these data for the tilt angle, which is estimated by the IMU to adjust the degree of TCS intervention. As the tilt angle increases, the number of TCS interventions also increases (1 = little intervention; 2 = moderate intervention; 3 = strong intervention).
Lift Control System (LIF) Lift Control System (LIF) can smooth the behavior of the machine during start-up and acceleration. When the IMU predicts the lift of the front wheels, the system adjusts the output of the engine to compensate and assist the rider. On the MT-09 SP, the focus of the system settings is to provide smooth behavior after the intervention stops. The intervention of the LIFt system is set to work with other rider auxiliary equipment. In mode M, the rider can manually select the intervention level.
The sliding control system (SCS) MT-09 SP developed by MotoGP® has a sliding control system (SCS), just like the one on the acclaimed YZF-R1. When the IMU predicts that the rear tire will slip, the SCS will respond by adjusting the power output to help the rider focus on riding. The intervention level is preset for the TCS of Mode 1 and Mode 2, but Mode M allows to select the intervention level or shut down the system.
The brake control system with ABS uses the brake control (BC) system. The front and rear wheel speed data and the data from the IMU are compiled and calculated in real time in the hydraulic unit assembly (including the ABS control unit) to independently control and adjust the front and rear brakes pressure. The rider can choose between two intervention modes: BC1 and BC2. BC1 is a standard ABS active mode, which can provide emergency braking under upright and straight braking conditions, while BC2 controls braking pressure other than ABS and runs in situations where machine behavior may become unstable, for example The inevitable emergency braking midway-corner.
The QSS on the MT-09 SP, a fast-shifting system for clutch-less upshifts and downshifts, enhances the sporty riding experience by enabling ultra-fast upshifts to achieve excellent acceleration. Downshifting allows for smoother shifts, stabilizes the chassis — even when cornering — and provides a more controlled feel when decelerating. When the sensor on the shift lever detects the movement of the shift pedal, it adjusts the engine output according to the ECU calculation to immediately offset the driving torque of the gear, and promote faster shifting.
The YCC-T Throttle System MT-09 SP with the new APSG is equipped with a Yamaha chip controlled throttle (YCC-T) that controls the throttle electronically, and has a new accelerator position sensor handle (ASPG). The remote control unit reduces Provides excellent throttle feel while being heavy. For APSG, the throttle opening is detected by the sensor and magnet, and reflected to the throttle motor through the signal. In order to obtain a good operating feeling, APSG is composed of springs, sliders and gears, and generates different degrees of friction (resistance) to reproduce the natural throttle feel during use. The APSG structure of MT-09 SP is the same as that on 2020 YZF-R1/R1M, but has specific model settings for friction and throttle opening.
3.5-inch full-color TFT meter display The 3.5-inch full-color TFT display of the MT-09 SP has a bar tachometer, which can change color as the speed rises or falls. There is also a clock and displays remaining fuel, average mileage, Water temperature, air temperature and gear shift indicator (the gears in use have the opposite color). Use the handlebar switch to easily switch between display and information.
Cruise control MT-09 SP has a cruise control system for easy riding. When the driving speed is at least 31 mph (or 50 km/h) and in 4th gear or higher, cruise control can be set. After setting the cruising speed, you can increase or decrease the speed in increments of 1 mph (or 2 km/h) by simply pressing the switch or holding the switch continuously. Cancel cruise control by braking or using clutch or throttle. The "Resume" function re-enables the system and restores the bike to the previously set speed.
