Next-generation design and styling
New-generation design leads the MT family line into the new decade. Minimalist styling showcases the frame and structural components.
6-Axis IMU plus lean-sensitive rider aids
Developed from the YZF-R1, the compact new 6-axis IMU governs the MT-09’s high-tech rider aids, including:
- 3-mode Traction Control System (TCS)
- Slide Control System (SCS)
- Front-wheel Lift Control System (LIF)
- Brake Control system (BC)
(note: TCS, SCS and LIF are lean-sensitive)
Full-colour 3.5-inch TFT display
The 3.5-inch full-colour TFT display features a bar-type tachometer that changes colour as rpm rises or falls. Handlebar switches enable you to easily change displays and information, as well as adjust the settings on the optional Genuine Yamaha heated grips.
Compact, bifunctional LED headlight
The new single LED headlight produces a powerful beam with an excellent spread featuring soft edges while giving the MT-09 a truly distinctive next-generation face, and lateral LED position lights project a signature Y-shape that is matched by the LED taillight.
Quick Shift System (QSS)
The new up and down Quick Shifter System enhances the sport riding experience by enabling super-fast upshifts for outstanding acceleration. The downshift function allows smoother shifting to maintain chassis stability even when cornering, to give a more controlled feel when decelerating.
