FEATURES:

CHASSIS / SUSPENSION

• ASSERTIVE RIDING POSITION: The MT-07 features a wide, tapered handlebar for an improved feeling of control and comfort for a range of rider sizes.
• COMPACT FRAME DESIGN: The MT-07's high-strength steel frame provides an optimized balance of rigidity for nimble, agile handling. Using the engine as a stressed member of the chassis allows for a lighter, more compact main frame design, contributing to the bike's low wet weight of only 406 pounds.
• 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.
• EXCEPTIONAL STOPPING POWER: For excellent stopping power, control and feel while braking, the MT-07 features 298mm front brake discs with four-piston calipers and a 245mm rear disc. 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 the compact 689cc liquid-cooled, inline twin cylinder, DOHC CP2 engine with fuel injection. The fun and characterful CP2 engine provides both outstanding low- to mid-range torque and strong high-rpm pulling power. Fuel injection settings are optimized for seamless, linear throttle response characteristics, even when the throttle is slightly open at low rpm.
• CROSSPLANE CRANKSHAFT CONCEPT: The two-cylinder engine features Yamaha’s Cross plane 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
