2022 Yamaha MT-07

Chassis / Suspension

• ASSERTIVE RIDING POSITION: To alleviate any sense of narrowness, the MT-07 features a tapered handlebar that is 32mm wider and 19mm taller and offers improved feelings of control and comfort for a wider range of rider sizes.
• COMPACT FRAME DESIGN: The high-strength steel frame provides an optimized balance of rigidity for nimble, agile handling. As a stressed member of the chassis, the engine allows for a lighter, more compact main frame design, contributing to a low wet weight of only 406 lb.
• LIGHTWEIGHT WHEELS: Lightweight 10-spoke cast aluminum wheels reduce unsprung weight for great handling and suspension performance. The Michelin Road 5 tires offer excellent grip and agility with 120/70ZR17 front and 180/55ZR17 rear sizes.
• STRONGER STOPPING POWER: For excellent stopping power and greater control and feel while braking, the MT-07 features bigger 298mm front brake discs with four-piston calipers. Rear braking is handled by a 245mm disc, and ABS comes standard to boost rider confidence and prevent wheel lock-ups in reduced traction conditions.
• KYB® FRONT FORK: The MT-07's front suspension features a 41mm KYB® fork with 5.1 inches of travel. With carefully selected spring rates and damping settings, the suspension has a refined feel and responsively performs across a wide range of riding styles.
• ADJUSTABLE KYB® REAR SHOCK: The MT-07 features a link-type KYB® rear shock adjustable for both rebound damping and spring preload. With 5.1 inches of rear travel, the shock is positioned below the seat with an almost horizontal alignment to help make the chassis even more compact.
• SPORTY CHASSIS DIMENSIONS: Working with the characteristics of the compact twin-cylinder engine, the wheelbase, seat height, fuel tank width, rake and other dimensions achieve a sporty, light and neutral handling character.

Engine

• ADVANCED TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINE: The MT-07 features an updated, compact 689cc liquid-cooled, inline twin cylinder, DOHC engine with fuel injection. The unique power character of the engine provides outstanding low- to mid-range torque with a linear throttle response and strong high-rpm pulling power. Maximizing riding excitement in the real world, the engine maintains the same level of response due to its intake air duct design, exhaust system specs - now integrated 2-into-1 exhaust pipes and muffler - and updated ECU specs. The fuel injection settings were also optimized to bring refinements to the engine’s linear response characteristics while the throttle is slightly open at low rpm. Other updates include valve seats with excellent abrasion resistance for the exhaust side, improved gearshift feel thanks to different cut angles for the dog gears, and repositioning for the catalytic converter - now closer to the headers - and oxygen sensor.
• CROSSPLANE CRANKSHAFT CONCEPT: The two-cylinder engine features Yamaha’s Crossplane Crankshaft Concept 270-degree crank that provides linear torque development in response to the rider’s throttle input. Offering excellent rider-machine communication, the CP2 engine is also light, slim and compact.
• COMPACT STACKED TRANSMISSION: The six-speed transmission “stacks” the input/output shafts in a triangular layout. Keeping the overall engine size shorter from front-to-back, the placement in the frame is optimized for outstanding weight balance. The transmission ratios bring out the best of the low- to mid-speed torque with excellent response characteristics to reduce the need for frequent shifts.
• MIDSHIP EXHAUST SYSTEM: By placing the muffler low in the frame and as close to the center of the machine as possible, the bike's mass is centralized for improved all around handling. The MT-07 also features a exhaust system with integrated 2-into-1 exhaust pipes and muffler.
• OFFSET CYLINDER BLOCK: The CP2 engine shifts its cylinder bores slightly forward, towards the exhaust side which reduces piston-to-cylinder wall friction, resulting in more power and improved fuel economy.
• REFINED FUEL INJECTION: From the open roads to the urban sprawl, the electronic fuel injection settings deliver a smooth throttle response for enhanced riding enjoyment. The system delivers outstanding torque in the low- and mid-rpm range with exciting acceleration in the upper rpm range while the fuel injection settings have been optimized to bring refinements to the engine’s linear response characteristics when the throttle is slightly open at low rpm.

Other Features

• LCD METER: The MT-07 features a multifunction negative-display LCD dash with a black background and white readouts while RPMS of 10k - 12k are indicated with a red color. Designed specifically for the MT-07's cockpit, the arrangement of the information features a larger display for the clock, current gear, trip/odometers and tachometer. Trip 1, Trip 2 and Trip F, the temperature and other meter functions can be toggled and reset with the left handlebar thumb switch while key displays like the gear indicator are on the right while the tachometer are positioned along the top.
• NEXT-GENERATION DESIGN: Joining the 3rd generation MT style - as featured on the MT-09 - the MT-07's new look further brings out its distinctive appeal with fashion-leading colors and graphics. The designed parts and components are integrated with minimal structural elements, creating an attractive design that emphasizes pure Hyper Naked character. With a silhouette that is synonymous with the MT Series' signature statement of torque and power, the MT-07 showcases a tight, compact and powerful appearance.
• LED PROJECTOR LIGHTING: With LED lighting for the position lights, headlight and both front and rear turn signals, the MT-07 exhibits clear and powerful illumination with a modern design.
