#Steeven.™ Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 Last week we published a 'teaser' of the new MT range from the Iwata manufacturer, in which we saw the future MT-07, but especially the new Yamaha MT-09 2021. A few minutes ago, Yamaha Yamaha sent the official information and photos, which reveal the final appearance of this po[CENSORED]r three-cylinder streetfighter, details that we could only guess in the brief video. The MT-09 2021 is brand new from top to bottom. We already knew that the engine had a larger displacement from its homologation record, discovered a few weeks ago and that it is now an MT890D, instead of the MT850D of the current bike. It was also revealed that the power increased from 114 to 119 hp. Virtually all major components are new, including pistons, connecting rods, camshafts, and crankcases. Also, the 2021 engine, including the new exhaust, is 1700g lighter than the current design. The engine displacement reaches 889 c. c. by increasing the diameter size by 3 mm, and the 42 c. c. additional ones increase the maximum power in 4 CV to 119 CV to 10,000 rpm. The torque increases even further, reaching 93 Nm at 7,000 rpm. The injection has also varied: while the current MT-09 has its injectors connected directly to the cylinder head, in the new one the injectors are mounted on the side of the throttle valve and fuel is injected at the rear of the cylinder heads. intake valves. This system provides better fuel atomization and also reduces fuel adherence to the intake walls. The throttle is ride-by-wire, and the entire exhaust system is new, 1.4 kg lighter than the current one. The gear and clutch ratios have also been optimized. New cycle part Leaving aside the aesthetics (some will like the previous one more and others this one), it can be seen that the cycle part is also new, with a CF die-cast aluminum Deltabox chassis that reminds us a lot of that of the last R6, thicker and compact. It is 2.3 kg lighter and 50% more resistant to twisting. To accommodate the more compact chassis and the new shorter fork, the steerer position is lowered by 30mm. The aluminum swingarm is 250 gr lighter and is no longer curved to become straight. The master cylinder is now a radial Nissin, with radial calipers and 298mm discs. All in all, the weight is 189 kg, 4 kg less than the current model. The fork is a KYB adjustable in preload, compression and rebound. Behind there is also a KYB damper, adjustable in preload and rebound, with new linkage. At the aesthetic level, the first thing that is appreciated is the new headlight, which is no longer double, turning to a single LED optic, with two colorful daylight pilots on both sides. The tank has an air intake on each side that must lead to the airbox. The exhaust is a new invoice: it continues to appear under the engine, although it is more voluminous. At the rear there is a new, lighter aluminum subframe, although the seat is the same as the last MT-09. The swingarm license plate holder-fender disappears to be placed on the tail. The instrumentation is new: a 3.5 ″ color TFT screen replaces the small LCD of the MT 2018-2020, clearer and with more information. The new IMU is 6-axis like driving modes and manages the lean-sensitive Traction Control System (TCS), the Skid Control System (SCS), as well as a Wheelie Control System (LIF). and a brake control system (BC), as well as a quickshifter up and down. The TCS has three switchable modes and each mode integrates three different assist systems, which means that the intervention levels are all changed at the same time in modes 1 and 2. Mode 1 offers moderate intervention, while mode 2 offers strong intervention and M mode allows selection of manual settings. Technical highlights: New EU5 DOHC 889 c engine. c., 3 cylinders in line and 12 valves, liquid cooled 119 hp power at 10.00 rpm 7% increase in maximum torque at r. p. m. lower New 2.3 kg lighter CF die-cast aluminum Deltabox chassis Lowest curb weight: 189 kg, a reduction of 4 kg Shorter wheelbase New aluminum swingarm Exclusive Crystal Graphite finish Complete LED lighting with signature Y-shaped brand icon front and rear New updated Quick Change System (QSS) Refined A&S clutch New lighter and more compact 6-axis IMU, tilt sensitive TCS, SCS and LIFt with three modes of intervention ABS and new brake control system (BC) Switchable D-MODE motor operating modes New ultralight 17-inch, 10-spoke spin-welded wheels Larger rear tire 180 / 70-17 with front tire 120 / 70-17 KYB 41mm USD fully adjustable fork with revised settings Adjustable KYB rear shock with revised settings Full color 3.5 inch TFT instruments with remote handlebar switch Radial front master cylinder, 298mm dual front discs TFT instrumentation and new electronics Colors, availability and price: The new MT-09 will be available in three colors: Storm Fluo, Icon Blue and Tech Black.
