Feel more at one with the MT-09 than ever before, focus on the adrenaline-inducing acceleration and super-precise handling with gear changes distilled to a sporty and slick finger-operated shift (MT) or fully automatic transmission (AT).
MT offers quicker and more consistent, clutchless gear changes at your fingertips via an intuitive and tactile see-saw switch, enabling the MT-09’s true performance to be unleashed at its full sporty potential.
While AT offers simplified shifting with a fully automatic transmission with two options to suit different riding scenarios.
Customise your riding experience via the Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) settings, which allow you to select engine power characteristics and the level of electronic intervention to suit your preferences and road conditions. Three integrated riding modes SPORT, STREET and RAIN are programmed to suit different situations: with ability to also create two custom programmes.
Full colour 5-inch TFT instruments provide four different themes to suit individual requirements. Smartphone connectivity to the TFT screen via the free Y-Connect app allows users to receive message notifications, calls and listen to music, via Bluetooth headset, not included. Full map navigation is also available through the free Garmin StreetCross app.
In order to match the MT-09 Y-AMT’s high torque and acceleration, excellent stopping power is provided by a Brembo radial master cylinder, which produces a linear supply of pressure to the four-piston calipers, mounted to the dual 298mm front discs and offering outstanding braking performance with finger-tip control.
Switch effortlessly between MT and AT on the move with an intuitively placed AT/MT button on the top of the right handlebar cluster. MT gear changes are executed using a tactile see-saw switch at your left-hand finger tips, with a choice between finger and thumb operation or a single-finger shift. In AT, switch between D+ and D with a dedicated thumb-operated MODE button.
The grin-inducing roar of the CP3 is one of its most defining characteristics, evoking a sense of pure adrenaline with every twist of the throttle. The MT-09 features specifically designed air-intake ducts which accentuate the high frequency sounds, which are then emphasised by an acoustic amplifier grille on top of the fuel tank, delivering the CP3’s vibrant note directly to the rider.
The remarkable, liquid-cooled, three-cylinder engine is light and powerful, offering high torque at low rpm. The acoustic harmony which results from a combination of the induction sound and exhaust note gives the CP3 its recognisable roar, which heightens the feeling of acceleration. And with the sporty gear changes enabled by Y-AMT, the CP3 feeling can be enjoyed even more.
