2022 Yamaha MT-07 Overview

For 2022, Yamaha offers the MT-07 as a naked bike motorcycle with 689 cc on tap. The 2022 Yamaha MT-07 is built around a Four stroke, parallel twin cylinder, DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder engine, a compression ratio of 11.5:1. Out on the road, the MT-07 delivers 55 kW @ 8750 rpm of peak power and 68 Nm @ 6500 rpm of torque. In everyday use, the 2022 MT-07 tips the scales at 184 kg, carries a 14-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 805 mm and spans a 1400 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 17.1 kg lighter than the average naked bike in our database. Every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes, is covered in the full 2022 Yamaha MT-07 spec sheet below.

2022 Yamaha MT-07 compared with other bikes in the Naked bike category

Measured against other bikes in the Naked bike category in our database (up to 1311 models, one entry per model), the 2022 Yamaha MT-07 comes out as follows.

With 184 kg, the MT-07 has the joint 244th lightest wet weight of 942 bikes in the Naked bike category, 8% below the category average of 201.1 kg.
Power-to-weight ratio of 299 W/kg is higher than that of 400 of the other 580 bikes in the Naked bike category.
Only 409 of the other 1310 bikes in the Naked bike category have a taller seat height than the 805 mm of the MT-07.
Narrowing the field to the 315 models within five model years of it, the wet weight of 184 kg is lighter than that of 227 of the other 314.

Versus the 2020 model

Compared with the 2020 model, wet weight went up from 183 kg to 184 kg (+1 kg). Peak power, peak torque, displacement and seat height are unchanged.

2022 MT-07 - Pros & Cons

Strengths

Strong power output: Peak output on the MT-07 is 55 kW @ 8750 rpm and 68 Nm @ 6500 rpm of torque - strong numbers for what it is.
Strong front braking: The disc front brake bites hard and stays consistent - a solid foundation whether it's stock or upgraded with braided lines.

Considerations

Chain final drive upkeep: A chain drivetrain is the most common setup in its class, but it's also the one that demands the most regular hands-on maintenance.

Wear Points & Servicing Notes

Cooling system servicing

With Liquid cooled, thermal management is largely automatic, but the coolant has a service life of its own - replace it on the manufacturer's interval to protect the water passages and thermostat.

Brake disc and pad wear

2x 298mm discs, 4-piston calipers up front provides the primary stopping power; inspect disc thickness and pad wear at each tyre change to catch scoring before it becomes a rotor replacement.

Suspension condition on used examples

Suspension duties are handled by 41mm Telescopic forks up front and Single shock, adjustable preload and rebound damping at the rear. Weeping fork seals aren't a dealbreaker on a used bike, but they're a fair basis for negotiating price.

Final drive maintenance

Chain final drive on the MT-07 means routine lubing and tension checks are part of ownership - skip them and sprocket wear accelerates noticeably.

Frame & chassis check

The Diamond chassis holds up well with normal use; on a used bike it's still worth checking the head-stock and swingarm pivot area for impact damage or corrosion.

MT-07 - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

A pre-purchase check on the 2022 Yamaha MT-07 with its 689 cc naked bike should cover the same ground every time: service history, drivetrain condition, and any oil seepage around the casings. This model runs chain final drive, so check chain slack and sprocket tooth profile specifically - a worn sprocket is a cheaper fix now than after it's chewed up the next chain. Now 4 years old, this naked bike is as likely to show age-related wear (perished rubber, seized fasteners, degraded seals) as mileage-related wear. Start it from cold if you can - a well-kept MT-07 settles to a smooth idle within seconds.

Oil and filter changes

Oil changes are the cheapest insurance you can buy for the MT-07's 689 cc four stroke, parallel twin cylinder, dohc, 4 valves per cylinder - keep to the manufacturer's interval rather than stretching it. With an 11.5:1 compression ratio, running the octane grade specified in the manual matters more than on a lower-compression engine. Use the viscosity grade the manual specifies, not whatever's on sale.

Carburetor upkeep

An MT-07 that's sat unused is almost always a carb-cleaning job before it runs right again - float bowls and pilot jets first, since they clog before anything else.
