2019 Yamaha MT-09 Overview

For 2019, Yamaha offers the MT-09 as a naked bike motorcycle with 847 cc on tap. The 2019 Yamaha MT-09 is built around a Four stroke, transverse triple cylinder, DOHC, 4 valve per cylinder engine, a compression ratio of 11.5:1. Out on the road, the MT-09 delivers 84.6 kW @ 10,000 rpm of peak power and 87.5 Nm @ 8,500 rpm of torque. Flat out, it's quoted at 209.8 km/h. In everyday use, the 2019 MT-09 tips the scales at 188 kg, carries a 14-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 815 mm and spans a 1440 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 20.5 kg lighter than the average naked bike motorcycle in our database. Every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes, is covered in the full 2019 Yamaha MT-09 spec sheet below.

2019 MT-09 - Pros & Cons

Strengths

Strong power output: Peak output on the MT-09 is 84.6 kW @ 10,000 rpm and 87.5 Nm @ 8,500 rpm of torque - strong numbers for what it is.
Fuel injection: No choke, no jetting, no altitude compensation to think about - fuel injection just works across a wider range of conditions than carburetion.

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.

Fuelling & injector care

Fuelling on the MT-09 comes from fuel injection. Cold starts and throttle response stay consistent across altitude and temperature, the main practical edge over a carbureted equivalent.

Brake disc and pad wear

2x 298mm discs 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 Telescopic fork up front and Swingarm 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-09 means routine lubing and tension checks are part of ownership - skip them and sprocket wear accelerates noticeably.

Frame & chassis check

The Diamond frame 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-09 - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

A pre-purchase check on the 2019 Yamaha MT-09 should cover the same ground every time: service history, chain and sprocket condition, and any oil seepage around the casings. Start it from cold if you can - a well-kept MT-09 settles to a smooth idle within seconds.

Oil and filter changes

Oil changes are the cheapest insurance you can buy for a MT-09's engine - keep to the manufacturer's interval rather than stretching it. Use the viscosity grade the manual specifies, not whatever's on sale.

Fuel system care

Injector systems like the MT-09's hold up well with basic care - decent fuel, an occasional cleaner additive, and draining old fuel before any layup longer than three months.
