Yamaha MT10 How Many Miles before I run out of Petrol / Gas on my Yamaha MT10 

Enjoy 👍

Your welcome thanks for subscribing 👍

Yes pretty much do the same, brilliant bikes aren’t they, smiles every mile😃 well when we get out of lockdown we can ride 👍

I sometimes get 100 too, I only ride a little slower for the videos 👍😂

MotoUK totally makes sense for the video/experiment!

Thanks 🙏 I think it’s ok too

That’s great, I don’t moan about the mileage as some do. But I owned sports bikes in the past so similar on those. Thanks for the input Stephen 👍

Also I think that because Americans and English have different gallons there is always confusion.

SAME HERE, I DON'T GET PEOLE RIDING WITH 2=3RD GEAR ALL DAY

I own an MT-10 and ride it as the toy that it is not for touring or commuting ...riding in the twisties actually USING some of that gloriously masterful torque it really truly DOES suck for range there is no sugar coating it with nonsense about what gear your in because it is rowing through the gears continuously on and off the brakes shooting from one corner to the next...the bike gets AWFUL gas milage ridden like that ....PERIOD I now have about 910 miles on the bike and for instance the S22 rear it came with is totally BALD....it was nearly to the wear bars in the mid section by the 600mile oil change and then I reall started giving her the beans and the tread simply disappeared....no silly burn outs I promise This bike is just SO SO SO much fun! I love it!

Cheers 🍻

@@90dfender bike got written off a week ago. Got wiped out by a stupid car driver. When going round a roundabout

No problem Daniel 👍

Also I’m riding a Harley 48 that has no gas gauge and gets 55-65 miles per tank..so 100 miles and up will be sweet to me..

I owned a 09 and am about to get a 10 but there about the same with the miles to a tank

Thanks Tom

Thanks Emmanuel 👍🙏

Hi CPU the ecu flash was my best mod

@@MOTOUK1 I hated this bike before the ECU flash , from stock it was really laggy and flat from low end , flash from BDU in Peterborough transformed my MT10, to note they took the cat off and the EXUP valve

Yes I know Phil it does make the world of difference. Mine was not that bad though on a 2017 plate. I think the 2016 were worse. 👍

Your welcome 🙏

Glad it helps Tim, for me it helped understand where my bike will run out based on my riding in general 👍 thanks for watching

The first thing I advise everyone to do with a new bike is full her up, grab a fuel bottle, and run her dry. Use the fuel bottle to get to the gas station. That way you know exactly how far you can go.

You should it’s awesome 😎 well I think so 😂👍

@@MOTOUK1 yeap. But pricey second hand for me at 9 grand

Same on SP fuel gauge is crap 💩 but I do normally get decent mileage, I did see a difference after ecu flash too

@@MOTOUK1 I am considering taking the cat out not to bothered about exhaust itself and get ecu flashed, I have herd it makes the bike a lot louder with more power and makes it smoother. I am interested in bottom power more than top end as I think MT10 is a bit flat until 5000/6000 when it really starts to go. Have you got many miles on your bike?

Yes it does make them louder, not for everyone in fact when I decat mine first I lasted 1 day then put the cat back on. I then researched using a Leovince decat as has a resonator box on it and the akra end can I finally put a baffle in. Now for me it’s perfect sound. By decat ting the bike and ecu flash you won’t see more power but will be so much smoother due to getting the air/fuel ratio correct as these bikes run very lean from stock.

I have now 17000 miles on my bike not had any issues with engine

@@MOTOUK1 my bike is coming up for 5000 miles had no problems so far. Other thing I'm not massively impressed with is the brakes.. sp is fitted with R1 brakes which i think would help. Many thanks for the info will let you know how I get on.

Agree

Thanks Rob. Fuel transfer pump sounds interesting 🧐 👍

what fuel transfer pump did you fit under the mt10 seat? please provide a link as I carry a backpack just for the pump lol thank you

@@AlexanderTheGrateful If you search Amazon for "G. T power fluid extractor pump" you'll see it. It says Currently Unavailable though. But I think there are others that are similar to pick from. I just looped the hoses and such until it all. This was before removing my Exup servo actuator (which makes it even easier to fit stuff under there).

That’s my type of riding, may I ask how many miles could u do with your mt10?

@@just_umbo9833 I think the longest I've gone is around 120 or 130.

Hi I have done suck 75mph test yes and I returned 178miles to fill up but it did take 17lts 😀 all motorway and cruise control on

Did you have the ecu done John?

@@MOTOUK1 No, just a de cat

John Honda Because you ride it like it was made to be ridden-not like an electric scooter.

John Honda doing the fuel trickle trick I've got 225 miles on a tank. That's with decat, race filter and NelsTune.

@@MZ-bl6wg what’s a fuel trickle trick

I always use E5 in mine

Thanks for the sub 👌

@@MOTOUK1 I meant to ask you.... What's the engine vibration like on this engine? I get too much bar buzz on my XSR900 CP3 and would like to know if it's less of an issue on the CP4?

@@oclv110sl yes it’s less, I sometimes suffer on loan bikes but the CP4 is all ok 👍

Thanks Jakub, your English is perfect 👌

@@MOTOUK1 thx lots of movies in english and reading some english books but most is from online games :D btw realy nice video and ofc THE BIKE!!!! see ya mate wish you nice xmas

I do this normally and agree it works get a few more miles

@@MOTOUK1 You can also carefully drill a hole in the filler to allow it to vent when you are "overfilling" it

😂 I have seen very inconsistent reports between bike to bike on the 10’s I’ve owned sport bikes and got similar so for me it’s no big deal and when I am touring I stop for a stretch every 2 hrs anyway and fill up

@@MOTOUK1 yea I did have a few longer runs on motorways like you say but I also did a lot of commuting on mine and my riding style was never as relaxed as yours lol. Absolutely fantastic bike though, loved it.

at what speed? also, is your bike flashed?

No flash. Installed a booster plug that helped with fuel economy by about 4~5 mpg. And that’s going about 75 mph.

Peter It tells the bike that it is colder outside than it really is so it puts more fuel into the bike and runs richer. Highly recommended if you have aftermarket exhaust. It protects the bike from running hot and helps remove the low end dip in power. Google “booster plug” and put in your make/model of bike

Peter Actually it is not pointless. I got the best mpg when I had no mods and the booster plug on. When I increased intake and outtake air flow it lowered mpg. But on top of that the bike has less snag on accel and decel

So I tend to run 97 when I can, if I can only get 95 then I use too. I always think runs crisper on 97 but may be in my head😂

Did you have the ecu flashed? I got better mileage after that. It’s crazy some MT10’s get better than others.

@@MOTOUK1 nope, no modifications done on the bike

Ok 👍 I know it sounds mad but when Andy at Junction33 explained it made sense! So the bike runs lean from new, when you have ecu flashed it sorts the fueling so more fuel, but by adding more torque on the flash more fuel or correct fuel means more forward movement at less throttle input so uses less fuel. I would say I have seen 15-20 more miles per tank after flash

Correct 😂

@@MOTOUK1 by the way sorry for bothering you while you are sitting comfortably and watching netflix

ffs did I hit a nerve 😂

That comment just came outta me, what can i say

😂😂😂😂

Sounds about right Alan 👍

@@MOTOUK1 Still get a bit twitchy and start planning the petrol stop at half a tank haha. Great video btw.

You’ll get used to it. I just run until 100 or flashing then look for petrol. It helped when I did this test to know what my bike will do and when it will run out 👍

I’m not sure I understand your question, why would my feet get hot ? The engine in traffic gets to 95c and then fans kick in keeping it below 100. So no hotter than any other bike. Why would you ride in shorts ? I do not have any issue with heat on the MT10

Yamaha tour screen

Haha oh yes if I know I’m going to run out why would I not 😂👍

GovtSlave that’s considered awful for a motorcycle?

@@TheBigkal201 I agree

GovtSlave 33's great!

Hi Tristram, the tank is 17 litres, but I have had a bit more in the neck but on this test I filled on side stand so not brimmed, max I ever had was 178

@@MOTOUK1 Don't know why they reduced the tank capacity on that bike, with better more modern fuel economy, it would give really good touring range. And, nowadays, guys who go touring in Europe like taking bikes like yours.

@@tristramgordon8252 it's a hyper naked it wasn't designed to replace the fazer. The tracer GT is the fazer replacement for range.

200mpg?????

Come on 200 mpg? ? Never!

Yep but such a fun bike

@@MOTOUK1 yeah that is right, i love this bike ;)

Thanks for tuning in 🙏 and the sub 👍, so i agree there are days when i wish 21lt tank on the 10 especially when touring although when touting i take it easy and normally I’m getting in that mode 150 - 160 miles per tank! It’s the same on most super naked bike atm as I’m currently testing the Speed Triple RS from Triumph and that has a 15.5lt tank approx 140miles so they are all similar. I also know that 600cc or 660cc ish is coming back into fashion with the newly to be launched Kawasaki Z650RS and with the Triumph Trident 660, more also coming in the adventure class next week at 660cc adventure bikes, very popular. TBH i think 600cc to 900cc is more than enough for the open roads. Again thanks, 🙏

Haha 😂 probably

😂😂😂 you ever tried riding hard and blogging 😂😂. Sadly you can’t see when camera is off

MotoUk fair enough 😉👍

Miles or Km

@@MOTOUK1 miles

Raj Nijjer Not on an MT-10

@@VState60 depends on alot of things, how your drive, what fuel you youse, tyre pressure, I go into neutral alot and coast.

Raj Nijjer ditto, have had mine 2 years, decat pipe , flash and race filter. I hit 200 regularly for trips. Commuting is another thing but inride like a tool and enjoy it 🙂

Hi, it is the warm up button you get with the woolich race tools and eco flash. Press it and it blips the throttle on and off to warm the engine

@@MOTOUK1 hello, ahhh i see thats good to know. could have been like a turbo boost from my guesses! lol

Turbo boost

It’s what you get with woolich race tools, warm up button and launch control

I get 40mpg mostly on trips and have toured without hassle. Let’s face it on long trips it’s good to have a break stretch ever now and then 👍

@@MOTOUK1 unfortunately, where i ride, gas stations can be stretched out quite far. i've seen signs for 'last gas 200 miles' before. i'd have to carry a significant jerry can with me and i'd prefer not to. thanks for your comment, it has me almost reconsidering.

That’s too bad! You need a Honda Africa Twin then or touring bike.

carl hownso u figure? It has 160hp , more hp than the 200hp R1 brother and torque down low, lower gearing, heavier, no aero. Spend your time at higher revs because of gearing. The Tuono 1100 gets 32-33 , it's about right on par. You can't get 50mpg out of ANY Supernaked. Maybe a mt07 .

Some do some don’t David. Like any mod some declare some don’t

No decat no 👍

Only work in gallons and mile sorry, ave 42mpg

You don’t buy an MT 10 for MPG you buy one for smiles every time you ride it 😆

Not sure but I once had 178miles to a tank on the motorway doing 70mph

@@MOTOUK1 well indonesia doesn't allow bikes on highway, so the average speed will be 80 km/h

@@MOTOUK1 anyway thanks for the info man, not everyone have balls to deliberately run out of fuel for testing like that

Yes I had the race tools fitted too blipper from wool inch at junction 33, I had proper dyno too

MOTOUK All that money spent on an MT-10 (SP at that) and the race kit and dyno to ride it like an old, worn out Goldwing. I don’t get it. Why an MT-10 and not an 07? Or an SV650?
