In terms of appearance, the Yamaha MT-09 has a very robotic headlamp design, this design which was later adopted by the Yamaha MT-15 and MT-25. It has four LED lights on the headlamp that will provide adequate lighting when riding at night.

On the driver dashboard, there are several instrument panels that you will see in this section. The most common ones we see are usually always a speedometer and an odometer. However, you will also find the gear position, trip mode, riding mode, fuel consumption, traction control, and ABS mode.

The fuel tank of this nake-bike has a fairly large cover with curved accents that reinforce the muscular impression of this motorbike. However, when riding this motorbike, you will notice that the back-bottom of the motorbike tank is made narrower to support the ergonomics of the rider.

The seat of the Yamaha MT-09 is made joined between the driver and rear passenger seats, which of course will provide comfort for rear passengers. There are relatively few accents given by Yamaha on the rear of this bike. Having a simple and sharp design, Yamaha places an LED stop lamp on the back of this naked-bike and a separate mini mud cover.

Yamaha MT-09 carries a 4-stroke engine with a capacity of 847 cc, three-cylinder inline 12 valves equipped with Yamaha’s Crossplane technology, DOHC, and liquid-cooled.

For those of you who don’t know the Crossplane Crankshaft technology on this bike, this technology was first used on the Yamaha YZR M1 which competed in the MotoGP. On the Crossplane Crankshaft system; the piston will push alternately and tightly every 90 degrees.

It means; when piston 1 gives a boost, then in the next 90 degrees piston 2 will rise to replace and so on. Thus, the engine produces less vibration and runs smoother. In addition, this technology makes the handling of the bike when turning or changing direction relatively more stable.
