Engine
R1-Derived Crossplane Crankshaft Engine
The potent 998cc inline four-cylinder engine features the same Crossplane Crankshaft technology developed in Yamaha's renowned YZF-R1 superbike. The crossplane design nearly eliminates inertial engine torque to provide a direct connection between the throttle and rear wheel for maximum traction and linear torque feeling. Tuned specifically for the needs of the high-performance street rider, the MT- 10 SP engine develops awesome low- and mid-rpm torque with arm-stretching top-end power.
Ultra-Modern Engine Design
The MT-10 SP's engine design creates the ultimate high-performing street sportbike. Engine reliability is ensured with strong, lightweight forged pistons and carburized fracture-split connecting rods that move through an extremely rigid, closed-deck cylinder block. The engine's cylinders are slightly offset to reduce friction losses, with plated bores for excellent heat dissipation and cylinder sealing. The rocker-arm valve actuation utilizes the lever ratio of each rocker arm to allow for larger valve lifts while using lower camshaft lobes and reduced spring pressure, further boosting power and efficiency.
Compact Stacked Transmission
The six-speed transmission stacks the crankshaft input and output shafts in a triangular layout to centralize mass and keep the engine shorter front-to-back
Intake System Tuned for Sound & Performance
To both enhance sound and increase efficiency, the MT-10 SP's air box is designed with three differing-length intake ducts tuned to resonate harmoniously at varying engine speeds to create a unique intake roar that enhances the overall riding experience. Enlarged ducts on either side of the fuel tank increase intake efficiency while adding to the purposeful, aggressive look.
