The MT-07 offers big time fun, affordability and riding enjoyment. This versatile naked roadster offers deep engine torque from its 689 cc parallel twin and a comfortable upright riding position combined with a lightweight, easy-to-handle sport chassis. The perfect machine for both new and experienced riders alike who are looking for outstanding value in a mid-class sport bike.

STYLING

The MT-07 was restyled in 2018 to more closely resemble its bigger MT siblings. The Ice Fluo (pictured), Tech Black and Yamaha Racing Blue colour options are the perfect complement to the MT-07’s minimal, naked design.

ENGINE

Slim, compact, 689 cc, DOHC, 4-valve, liquid-cooled, 20-degree inclined, inline twin-cylinder engine.

The engine has been tuned to provide plenty of low & mid-range torque with very linear throttle response. This engine produces approximately 75 hp and 50 ft-lbs of torque and is designed to maximize riding fun in the real world.

4-valve, downdraft-style combustion chamber with 11.5:1 compression ratio.
- excellent torque output in the low-to-mid rpm range
- 4-valve design maximizes flow into & out of combustion chamber
- 31.5 mm intake & 26.5 mm exhaust valves
- stainless steel valves feature an Isonite surface treatment & carburized tips for excellent durability & wear resistance

42,000 km-valve adjustment intervals.

Lightweight hollow camshafts.
- cam profiles & timing accentuate the low-to-mid-range torque & power in the most commonly used rpm range (3,000 to 6,500 rpm).
- excellent rideability with linear throttle response

CP3 “CrossPlane Concept” 270-degree crankshaft with an uneven firing order.
- design reduces inertia torque while emphasizing linear torque
- design has been optimized to achieve strong torque over a broad rpm range

Lightweight, gear-driven “coupling force balancer” reduces engine vibration for excellent comfort.

Fracture split connecting rods feature a “nutless” design.
- lower end “cap” of the rod is made from the same piece of material as the upper portion; the 2 pieces are “split” apart using a special fracturing process & then precision machined
- design aids in establishing true big end roundness & greater precision in con rod dimensions for excellent durability despite the horsepower loads

Lightweight, forged, aluminum short skirt pistons.
- lightweight design aids in fast engine response
- reduces mechanical vibration for excellent durability

Direct ceramic composite plated cylinder uses “liner less” bores.
- ceramic coating is sprayed directly on the aluminum block, eliminating the liner & reducing weight
- excellent heat dissipation for consistent power delivery
- coating enhances the thin film of oil between the cylinder & piston, reducing friction & increasing power

Offset cylinder design.
- cylinder is “offset” relative to the crank (toward exhaust side)
- reduces frictional losses between the pistons & cylinder wall during the power stroke for improved power output & excellent fuel economy

One-piece cylinder & upper crankcase assembly.
- superior engine & chassis rigidity (engine is a stressed member increasing chassis rigidity)
- design reduces weight

“Closed-loop” 38 mm Mikuni throttle body fuel injection system.
- system uses throttle position sensor (TPS) & idle speed controller (ISC)
- 12-hole injectors for optimum fuel atomization
- system is “tuned” to provide excellent rideability & linear throttle control.
- closed-loop system” uses an oxygen sensor to “sniff” spent exhaust & automatically adjust the fuel / air ratio for reduced emissions

Compact Electronic Control Unit (ECU).
- utilizes a powerful 32-bit processor for fast control of the injection & ignition processes

Airbox design features dual intakes.
- design reduces intake noise
- viscous paper type air filter is utilized

Compact, 6-speed transmission.
- Tri-axis design “stacks” input/output shafts to centralize mass
- overall engine size is shorter front to back allowing the engineers the freedom to place the engine in the frame for optimum front to rear weight balance
- transmission ratios are designed to suit the character (torque & power) of the engine
- specially chosen gear ratios means fewer gear changes
- 6th gear is an over drive gear reducing engine rpms at highway speeds for a comfortable ride

Compact, clutch design with light clutch lever pull.

Lightweight, vertical flow flat radiator with ring type cooling fan.
- ring type cooling fan pulls more air than a conventional non-ring type design
- left & right rad covers add a stylish highlight

Liquid-cooled oil cooler.
- maintains consistent lubricant temperatures for extended engine life

Convenient spin-on type oil filter & easy access drain plug.
- for fast, easy oil changes

Convenient oil level sight glass.

Maintenance-free transistor controlled ignition (TCI).
- produces a strong spark for fast starts
- provides precise ignition timing / mapping for optimum engine performance at all rpms

High performance direct ignition coils (ignition coils are built into the spark plug caps).
- reduces weight & complexity

AC Magneto produces 410 watts of power @ 5,000rpm.

Stylish, compact, low mounted, 2 into 1 exhaust system.
- triple expansion muffler design with 3-way honeycomb catalyzer reduces exhaust emissions
- low mounted design centralizes mass for excellent handling & a light weight feeling

Air Injection System (AIS… not ram air) injects fresh air into exhaust ports to fully burn any unburnt fuel, further reducing exhaust emissions.

CHASSIS

Diamond-type, high tensile steel frame.
- optimized rigidity balance for light, agile handling & excellent stability
- engine is a stressed member of the chassis, allowing a lighter, more compact main frame

Upright, comfortable riding position is a key feature of the MT-07.
- excellent all day rider comfort

Key chassis geometry figures include:
- 1400 mm (55.1″) wheelbase
- 24.5 degrees of rake & 90 mm of trail
- front/rear weight distribution is 49.2% front & 50.8% rear
- lean angle is 49 degrees, highlighting the sporty nature of the MT-07
- chassis dimensions & design centralizes mass & lowers centre of gravity for light, agile handling

Lightweight, high tensile steel “gull wing” type short design swingarm.
- lightweight design reduces unsprung weight for superior suspension performance
- excellent rear wheel traction & control

Revised, 41 mm conventional fork offers 130 mm (5.1″) of wheel travel.
- new spring rate & damping force settings for improved suspension performance & comfort
- oil level & amount have been optimized

Lightweight, aluminum upper & lower triple clamps.

Adjustable link-type Monocross rear suspension with 130 mm (5.1″) of wheel travel.

ABS equipped dual 282 mm floating wave-style front discs & ultra-rigid 4-piston monoblock calipers.
- excellent stopping power & control with good lever feedback

ABS equipped 245 mm wave-style rear disc is squeezed by a lightweight single piston slide-type Nissin caliper.

Anti-lock braking system (ABS).
- controlling ECU & hydraulic unit are combined into a single compact unit to reduce weight & centralize mass
- when ABS system senses impending wheel lock-up (via active type wheel sensors) it regulates hydraulic braking pressure to the point just before the wheel or wheels lock-up
- ABS benefits include excellent control under hard braking or when braking on wet, slippery or loose surfaces

Lightweight, cast-aluminum 10-spoke wheels.
- lightweight design reduces unsprung weight for excellent suspension & handling characteristics
- front rim size is MT3.50-17 & rear rim size is MT5.50-17
