2018 Yamaha MT 10

 

Latest Generation Crossplane Crankshaft Engine

 

The potent 998cc inline 4-cylinder engine features the same Crossplane Crankshaft technology developed in Yamaha’s renowned YZF-R1® superbike. Tuned specifically for the MT-10™, this engine develops awesome low- and mid-rpm torque with arm-stretching top-end power.

 

Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle with D-MODE and Cruise Control

 

The MT-10 features YCC-T®—a ride-by-wire throttle system that provides exceptionally precise engine control—and D-Mode, which allows the rider to select a preferred engine response at the flick of a switch. The MT-10 also includes cruise control for improved highway cruising comfort.

 

Adjustable Traction Control System

 

An advanced Traction Control System (TCS) assists the rider in managing traction on various road conditions by quickly modulating throttle opening, ignition timing, fuel volume and other parameters.

 

Deltabox® Aluminum Frame

 

Like the YZF-R1 superbike, the MT-10 uses an aluminum Deltabox frame to create a lightweight and responsive chassis built for agility, featuring an ultra-compact 55.1-inch wheelbase.

 

Fully-Adjustable KYB® Suspension

 

The MT-10 features a fully-adjustable inverted KYB® front fork and a four-way-adjustable, linkage-type KYB® shock, for excellent road holding along with a tuning range ready for a wide range of street conditions.

 

Powerful, Controllable Brakes with ABS

 

An advanced Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is mated to high-specification braking components for strong braking power with excellent feedback and control.

 

Aggressive Ergonomics and Styling

 

The MT-10 displays raw aggression from every angle, with upright ergonomics that perfectly balance sport riding feedback and relaxed comfort. High-tech LED lighting and an all-LCD instrument panel boost both style and function.

 

Comfortable, Upright Ergonomics

 

MT-10 riders look forward to every ride thanks to upright ergonomics that perfectly balance sporty riding feedback and relaxed comfort, with a tapered aluminum handlebar and ideal placement of the seat and footpegs, plus a hip stopper that braces the rider under maximum acceleration. The sculpted 4.5-gallon fuel tank design allows for a solid feeling of knee grip and lower body control.

 

High-Performance LED Lighting

 

In addition to LED turn signals, running lights and taillights, the MT-10 features compact LED headlights for stunning illumination and state-of-the-art style. The mono-focus headlight elements draw very little power but produce a crisp, brilliant beam of light for confidence and visibility in low-light conditions.

 

Aggressive Styling

 

The MT-10 displays raw aggression from every angle, with a muscular central core that highlights the machine’s power and unmistakably futuristic styling. With its belligerent design and unique elements—including the compact frame-mounted front mask and dynamically shouldered fuel tank—the MT-10 stands out as the king of the MT series.

 

Ready to Accessorize

 

The MT-10 arrives ready for personalization, with exposed hardware ideal for mounting a range of Genuine Yamaha accessories, including windscreens, chassis protection and other items. A standard 12V DC power outlet is ready to recharge your personal mobile devices or various electronic accessories.

 

New Quick Shift System (QSS) 

 

Cuts engine output so riders can up-shift without using the clutch and closing the throttle for a more exciting riding experience.

 

Revised D-Mode Mapping

 

2018 brings refined fuel injection and D-Mode settings. Modes are now numbered, with Mode 1 providing the sharpest throttle response, Mode 2 offering a good all-around character, and Mode 3 offering the smoothest, most progressive throttle response.

 

Advanced Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle

 

The ride-by-wire Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T®) system senses the slightest throttle input by the rider and instantaneously calculates the ideal throttle valve opening, and then actuates the throttle valves to actively control intake volume. This technology contributes to the rider’s feeling of torque and controllability from the potent 4-cylinder engine.

 

Revised D-Mode Mapping

 

Thanks to YCC-T, the MT-10 also offers D-Mode, which allows the rider to select a preferred engine response at the flick of a switch. 2018 brings refined fuel injection and D-Mode settings. Modes are now numbered, with Mode 1 providing the sharpest throttle response, Mode 2 offering a good all-around character, and Mode 3 offering the smoothest, most progressive throttle response.

 

Adjustable Traction Control System

 

An advanced Traction Control System (TCS) assists the rider in managing traction on various road conditions by quickly modulating throttle opening, ignition timing, fuel volume and other parameters. TCS Level 1 is intended for sporty riding on clean roads, with Level 2 configured for normal street riding. Level 3 is tuned for wet roads and other low-traction situations. The TCS can also be disabled by the rider if they so choose.

 

Cruise Control System

 

The MT-10 includes a cruise control system powered by the YCC-T. Using the left handlebar switchgear, the rider can easily select or adjust a set speed to ease long-distance touring on the highway, improving rider comfort.

 

All-LCD Instrument Panel

 

A highly-legible instrument display provides crystal clear information for the rider at a glance. The all-LCD design is lightweight and compact, with a large speedometer display and bar-type tachometer. The panel also includes a fuel gauge and fuel economy readouts, a gear position indicator, clock, odometers and warning indicators.
