5 things I Hate About Yamaha MT-10 

I had the same issue on a stock mt10. Feels like some dead spot in the middle of the throttle. Also, the seat was so hard and unpleased and felt like a wooden plank even seats on superbikes are not that bad. The fuel gauge is odd and unreliable, you can be riding in "full tank" but in a second it jumps to half, and 10mins later the fuel light turns on, why Yamaha even bothered to put it in the first place. I hated everything about the bike beside the engine character so I traded in for 2018 r1 and I'm much happier.

@@Fearless154 The odd gauge is due to the shape of the tank, the fuel level gauge can't got to the top of the tank due to that odd size, so it doesn't read change until half a tank - you should be reset the trip every refill anyway - that gets you a better idea (I have always done that on every bike I've owned even ones with awesome fuel gauges - just habbit) . Original seat was shit, got the dealer to chuck in a comfort one. and by the sounds of it, it just wasn't for you. You're the first person I've heard to go to an R1from the MT-10, most people go the other way with zerp regret.

100% correct- damn why people so dumb - know whats up on a bike- idiots out there- no clue

2 brothers tuned exhaust + remap.. Also givi tankring tankbag for the win

It's already getting remapped I'll have an update video soon :)

It loses low end when you open up the exhaust but gains a little high end. If you put a baffle in and make sure it's sealed up as tight as possible it will run almost like with the cat with no tune. The exup valve really does make torque down low.

@@TURBOTWINKIE when the update coming and break down on the mods would be awesome and the cost. Love the video. Thinking about buying one 👌

@@fatsheppors8589 I already uploaded the ECU flash video for this bike, in terms of parts however, that's coming this spring I still have a lot to install.

@@TURBOTWINKIE. Looking forward to the full update. Thanks I’ll have a look 👍

Appreciate it!

ECU Flash video should be out in couple of weeks, I will see if it fixes it :)

I bought my Mt 10 June 20th, just got back from a 3200 mile road trip, Seattle to Denver and back again.. before I left I did a cat delete ( black widow mid pipe ) left the stock end can on it, looks good to me? Got a ecu flash from 2wdw, there only 20 miles from me ! Nice guys.. put a Puig Turing screen on it, it wasn't enough, so I added a spoiler screen, still not enough, so I need a taller spoiler out of some Plexi I had..!.. made it so my head was just out of the wind blast. Corbin seat, it's ok, made a rack for the back and a oil cooler radiator guard..large tank bag on the rack, small magnetic bag on the tank..I drilled a hold in the tank filled for a air vent to speed up filling all the way to the top of the tank, added 20 miles to the range!! I was tired after7 hours of riding but not terrible, my longest day was around 707 miles according to Google maps.. fun trip. Bike performed FLAWLESSLY!!!great machine.. just passed 6500 miles.. oh ,, got pilot road 5s just before I left..

I'm 193cm and 90kg, boot size 46eu. It fits me fine. I tested almost all the big-brand1-liter supernakeds and the best fit comfort-wise was MT10, followed by S1000R. The worst look-wise was SuperDuke 1290 gen2 - I looked on it like on kid's tricycle. What is somewhat of an issue (something you notice after a whole day in the saddle) is the steering bar pullback angle - it is always too large for shoulder width of taller people.

Battlleaxes for the win, the only tyre designed to be used with the 10

dude you think its bad on fuel should check the vmax now there is a pig on fuel economy but sure has balls

Will do!

Look up Veryfastboi. His riding is 🔥

Lol you do realize the seat is worse on the R1. And the throttle on a stock r1 in power 1 is super super twitchy.

@@davisoneill7937 Actually no the seat on the r1 is higher quality and feels nicer. The power mode 1 is snappy but power mode 2 is smooth and easy.

Yup, I sent out the ecu, will upload an update video if I ever get it back :)

@Danny War Robots Ive not heard any explanations from Yamaha. Some countries have more issues than others it seems. Mine cracked both times under the colder part off the seson for me. Maybe that could be one off the explanations.

@Danny War Robots well you have always the risk off small rocks and things hitting the lenses. I would recomend lens covers. You can buy them for 20 bucks and they come in different collours also. Then you have done all you can do.

off the line from low RPMS you got nothing then it wakes up... that is I4s... rev it out

On these particular bikes (MT 09 and MT-10) the power delivery is on the lower part, so you get a huge surge from 0 to about 100 mph basically smoking other bikes that are opposite because they start slower and their higher power delivery kicks in about 100 mph which is more suited for track. So technically you shouldn't have any delay when taking off, maybe on the freeway at 100 or higher you might not feel the bike that responsive...

you literally have no idea what the dude in the video said about the response, right? It might even be cause he changed exhaust and never tuned it. Its not always the ''wrong and right rpm''.

M Stone it is the 2018 model

Thanks for the comment, I sent out the ecu to 2WDW people say they are very experienced in mt10’s the package just crossed the borders and that took 2 weeks. Not sure how long it will take for it to get back 😭

TURBO TWINKIE i feel you probably soon enough you’ll get it...it took me 2 week to get it back from Forth Myers FL with shipping!!! Trust me...didn’t feel the same with the flash you gonna enjoy it for sure ! Cheers from east coast canada 🇨🇦

Agreed!

@@TURBOTWINKIE MT-10 much better if it's in right hands. MT-09 is more of a bike to commute on and do low speed wheelies.

No comparison. MT-09 factory suspension is complete garbage. MT-10 has world-class R1 quality suspension

Yes I have :)

TURBO TWINKIE did you like it? I consider buying one, I'm currently on an mt07.

Sure, if all you want to do is go in a straight line. Yours is an apples to oranges comparison--two completely different kinds of motos.

In the world atm you have your health, that's more important my friend 👍

I've done the "things I love" video in the past and the dislikes video did much better. I'll do the other one in the future :)

Everyones trying to sell you a bike, its hard to find the genuine downside of a bike.

You're wrong. Its easy to see what i like. Its harder to know what i might dislike.

Forget the pc. Just flash it.

Yes, and you will get reliability issues. SD R is a great bike to ride, but not so great to own.

@@sufilms8878 what? why? I have mine since may 2018 without any issues... The only thing which could make any problem is the keyless system and even this can be resetted with some trick at home.

gaben8206 count your blessings and appreciate your luck. Superduke performs well but is notoriously unreliable

Ktm is nothing but weird electrical issues that are non stop it will always be in the shop even when buying brand new. I know two people with 390’s and 1 with the 1290. The smaller ones are useless they’ll be in the shop for 3 months at a time .

or a vmax

oh brazileiro tu tens uma mota hmmmm

Haha yeah the 6 mm gap between the gas tank that collects dust🤷😂😂😂

so why did you buy it!! amazing comments when others do not say what you said ,,if you want really crap finnish look at some of the new bmw,s ...overall you should have bought a royal enfeild

@@keithcarr5905 Are you just upset someone isn't bowing down to worship the machine god, perhaps that you venerate very much?

😂🤣 so true
