2024 Yamaha MT-09 SP

Next-Generation Design

Aggressive next-generation styling takes the Hyper Naked look to a new level with sharper, more defined lines and minimal bodywork. A new bi-functional LED headlamp is now shrouded in a cover, creating a more compact and unified relationship with the redesigned fuel tank and tail section. The new fuel tank also sits 30mm lower for a more forward-leaning stance while maintaining the edgy street aesthetic synonymous with the MT name. SP specification raises the bar even further with distinctive SP colorway, polished aluminum swingarm, premium suspension, Brembo brakes, additional electronics and a new smart key for an unmatched Hyper Naked experience.

Powerful 890cc Three-Cylinder Engine

Yamaha's renowned 890cc liquid-cooled CP3 engine is light, powerful and provides a thrilling wave of torque from low rpms. A combination of carefully tuned induction sound and distinctive crossplane triple exhaust note provides a resonance which only heightens the feeling of acceleration. Throttle valves are governed by the Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) system enabling finer actuation and precise control.

Lightweight CF Die-Cast Aluminum Frame

The MT-09 SP features an advanced, lightweight aluminum frame refined to showcase the MT's signature agility. To ensure both straight-line stability and handling performance, the balance of longitudinal, lateral and torsional rigidity are all carefully considered and finely tuned. The frame is manufactured using Yamaha's groundbreaking controlled fill (CF) die casting technology which contributes to its light weight.

High-Spec SP Suspension

Premium SP-exclusive suspension brings Supersport-level handling and precision to the Hyper Naked class. The 41mm DLC coated KYB® forks and Öhlins® rear shock feature a higher spring rate offering outstanding stability during more spirited riding. Set-up can be fine tuned to suit a variety of different riding situations with the forks fully adjustable for preload, rebound, high- and low-speed compression damping, while the fully adjustable Öhlins® shock is equipped with a remote preload adjuster to enable quick and easy changes.

New Brembo Stylema Calipers & Radial Master Cylinder

New for 2024, the MT-09 SP now boasts premium-spec Brembo Stylema monoblock brake calipers paired with a Brembo radial master cylinder and large 298mm dual front discs for the ultimate in stopping power and finger-tip control.

Advanced Six-Axis IMU

The MT-09 SP features an advanced six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) that matches the base performance of proven IMU in the YZF-R1 Superbike. Data collected from the IMU and wheel speed sensors enable a high-tech suite of rider aids including a four-mode Traction Control System (TCS), Slide Control System (SCS), front wheel Lift Control System (LIF) and a two-mode Brake Control System. Each of these systems can be turned off and Traction Control, Slide Control and Lift Control can have their levels of intervention adjusted to preference. With its best-in-class electronic control technology, the MT-09 SP gives you the ultimate versatility in varying weather and surface conditions.

New Five-Inch TFT & Updated Switchgear

A new five-inch full-color TFT display provides the rider with the option of five different themes, including the SP-specific TRACK theme, to suit different riding situations or individual preference. The new display is navigated through all-new integrated handlebar switches. Button shape and feel have been extensively refined to provide intuitive operation in a compact, easy-to-use solution.

Smartphone Connectivity

Riders can now link their smartphone to the new TFT display via Yamaha's free Y-Connect app to receive message notifications, calls and listen to music (through use of an aftermarket Bluetooth® headset, not provided). Additionally, full turn-by-turn navigation is available through the Garmin® StreetCross app to make each journey easier.

Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) with Specific SP Settings

Owners can customize their riding experience via new Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) settings, which allow the selection of engine power characteristics and electronic intervention levels. For quick, easy selections, three integrated riding modes are programmed with factory settings to suit different situations: SPORT, STREET and RAIN. Additionally, riders can create two custom programs with tailored settings to suit exact preferences. SP specification also features four exclusive TRACK modes allowing for more refined, specialized track settings including the option of choosing between two engine brake management settings and the ability to turn rear ABS off. YRC settings can be customized either directly within the dashboard menu or on a smartphone via the Y-Connect app..
