2 year Review - Yamaha MT10SP and 15000 miles thoughts on this bike

[@maybe5883]

A little late to post, that said, you did a really nice job customizing your bike, well done. Great review without all the hype.

[@MOTOUK1]

Thanks Josh, 🙏 I’m on 3 years 3 months 17,500 miles now and a more in-depth view on cost of ownership, issues, good and bad points coming

[@SmokinZen]

I love my one year wonder FZ10. The biggest reason I got this bike was because I can't own more than one bike right now. This bike does a lot of things I like. The coolest is it can be loaded for touring or stripped down for canyon carving or just cruising. It is the ultimate comfortable sport bike with extra capabilities. Yes it eats gas but so do other bikes in similar category, personally I have never needed the extra gas even when I crossed Death Valley I never used the extra gas I brought. As long as you plan your route accordingly and know where gas stations are it is not a problem. I always have a big smile after every ride, and a great appreciation for this motorcycle never have regretted buying it, it is a keeper. I can only imagine how much nicer the SP is, but I am a happy camper.

[@MOTOUK1]

Great to hear re yours SmokinZen, they are brilliant bikes for sure and mine too a keeper. 👍 thanks for watching and the sub 🙏

[@ThomasWhitehouse]

Great Video. I test rode a standard Gen 1 MT-10 a week or so ago, and wow what a bike. I thought my Gen 2 MT-09 was good but I loved the MT-10 just as much, and dare I saw it, I might have preferred the MT-10. I'm now finding myself looking at secondhand MT-10's, 🙂🏍.

[@johnzuggster375]

You amaze me with how clean your bike is after two years. I live in west Texas, if I leave my bike uncovered for even 1 hour the dust has it filthy again. Good video, thanks for sharing!

[@MOTOUK1]

It’s now 4 years, 2 months 😂 you need to watch today video at 1pm U.K. time as I show in video the bike 👍 thanks for tuning in

[@barryroberts2474]

I have the "standard" MT10 and would never sell it either. I had the chance to ride an SP a few weeks ago and it doesn't have enough advantage over my bike to swap it. Maybe because I have the suspension adjusted to how I like it. Having the choice of settings on the SP would be nice. The SP would only be considered as a replacement if it is needed. I think the MT10 ticks enough boxes to keep me excited, the wife loves riding with me and loves it too! Fuel economy, well I've got used to that. We judge our rides according to what I know of range. Fortunate to have rides that are now well known as well as some others for variety. After four years it is still nearly new. I think this bike might see my riding days out, coming up 71 in June. Thanks for sharing.

The sound of that bike with no cat is soo much better. If you can go fully into it, I recommend. it. But it's not just an exhaust change, its opening a can of worms. At least for me it was. Also, I had way too much wind too, so i added a windscreen. My problem was my helmet. The wind was trying to take my head off. I had a schubert C4. I will only ride in an arai helmet now. Huge difference. your bike is beautiful. It has a ton of potential. You made a lot of nice changes to it. Unleash that CP4 sound, next, its so good.

Hi Sean, thanks for your message. Since this I have decat and you can see in latest videos. Also I was getting far too much wind using touring screen in my helmet area so now I use puig sport screen lots better. 👍 see here 6:43 mins kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2rWlIyvmbatf7M

So problem is with Aprilia is that there aren’t many dealers in U.K. so if something goes wrong then a pain trying to sort it out. With the Yamaha easy as lots of dealers. Aprilia are better than they used to be these days haven’t seen many issues.

Looking forward to getting the 2024 model mt10. I went to a dealership here in the US and sat on one. Can't believe how many people complain about the seat being hard. Granted I only sat on it for about 10 minutes. I don't see it being a problem. I weigh 191 lbs. I guess the 2017 model didn't come with the three piece belly pan?

All good bikes, only difference is paint scheme, Ohlins, Dash really - congrats on your new bike

[@Ta3kno]

I have test ridden the MT-10 SP and I absolutely loved it. Plenty of power, yet it offers a very smooth ride. It's incredibly comfortable on the highway as well considering it's a naked sports bike. I would definitely go with the Yamaha offered touring kit with the bags and a visor similar to yours, also heated grips are a must. The Tracer 900 GT could also be a brilliant tourer with a lively engine. I currently own an MT-09 but looking for an MT-10 once I can afford it. I can squeeze around 155 miles out of the 09 when I'm touring at an average 60 mph. I'm sure I could reach close to 190 miles if I changed the gearing. But the MT-09 is just not a very good touring bike. I wonder if you could get a bit more mileage out of the MT-10 as well by changing the gearing? Anyways, 150 miles sounds just fine to me.

[@MOTOUK1]

Hi Ta3Kno, I have owned the 09 Tracer, used that for touring through Switzerland, Austria, France, Germany and loved the CP3 engine. When I came to change it I have seen the MT10SP and knew instantly that was what I wanted. The CP4 engine is great! For touring well it’s naturally a naked bike but it does ok touring and I’m about to do a 9 hour day on it at the weekend. Yes mileage isn’t great but it’s the R1 engine so what can people expect. While touring I start to look for fuel stations at approx 110-120 miles as 150 miles really is close to running out while riding in touring mode. I have seen mileage all over the place on other MT10’s some only saying they get 100 ,lies but it depends how it’s ridden. 👍thanks for commenting and watching 🙏

[@hubert1142]

I've had mine for exactly 2years on Sunday. Done 32000kms on it. It was a beauty with a bunch of mods, ceramic coated every 6 months so it looked as good as new. Got read ended. It almost feels like my dog died :( I have a good insurance so hoping to get some cash, will buy it again! Shame Yamaha didn't do a new version of MT-10 this year like they did with 07 and 09. Stay safe out there bois!

[@MOTOUK1]

Damn sorry to hear you lost it to a rear crash 😟 hope they pay out so you can get it back. Yes I think if Yamaha do change it up a bit it may be drastic change and spoil a great bike. I hope they keep that engine

[@hubert1142]

@@MOTOUK1 The engine is an absolute gem, I don't think they'll change it - it drinks like me in my 20s, but I don't care, I'd love it even if it wanted twice as much fuel. I was thinking more about a bit better design (even though I love the current one and it's 10yrs ahead of time:)), separate TCS from anti wheelie, cornering ABS, cornering headlights, quickshifter+blipper as standard, ability to turn off ABS (at least for the rear wheel) etc. You know, get it to the level of Ducati Streetfighter, but I guess the bike would not be as affordable as it is now.

I bought a 2017 MT-10SP 3 weeks ago and loving it so far. I am thinking of getting a cat delete pipe and a reflash but I don't want to mess up the fuel consumption. My bike is actually pretty good on fuel at open road speeds, but rubbish around town. With a decat and reflash, what effect did that have on the fuel use? Thanks for all your informative videos.

[@MOTOUK1]

Hi Terry, firstly congrats on the new bike 👍 so I had decat Leovince and I had an R1 Akra, added a baffle as don’t like too noisy. I had a ecu flash woolich done with Andy at Junction33 and I stayed while he did the dyno tune. I could see the bike ran lean very lean before so he made the fuelling spot on. By doing the ecu flash I was getting more torque and bhp at all throttle openings 10%, 20,40,60,80,100 and by having more torque he explained to me less fuel to make the bike move. Once I tested I was actually getting better mileage after.

[@terrysmith4671]

@@MOTOUK1 Thanks so much for the quick reply. I have an Akra slip on plus the stock muffler and probably prefer the more mellow sounds from the stock pipe/cat combo. What I hope for from a remap is to smooth out the transition from closed to open throttle, and also get rid of the what feels like quite a flat spot at 4-5k rpm.

[@MOTOUK1]

The ecu flash will help yes. Also make more linear power delivery. Explains to the tuner what your looking for so they can adjust the throttle maps to your liking

Hi, great video, answered some questions about the bike. Can I ask how tall are you? And how comfy is the seating position on a long ride? Also have you ridden it with the passenger? Any comment on that maybe.

[@MOTOUK1]

Seating position on a long ride is great, so here’s the thing sitting upright for many hours is not comfy on most bikes as all the weight is straight down on your ass. I tried the comfort seat and you just push down with no movement so make more uncomfortable. I use the standard Seat which while harder allows for movement and also tips you slightly forward which makes it more comfy on longer journeys. For two up yes my wife comes on sometimes and for her the comfort seat is better as wider at the back. Standard Seat is too hard for passenger my opinion and hers. So not a win win situation.

Ecu flash only necessary if you decat the bike. Issue is the bike runs lean due to euro 5, if you decat it will run more lean and that’s not good for the engine. If you dont decat and just add a slip on exhaust then no need to ecu flash.

@@MOTOUK1 no flash, it feels lean in the throttle response. Bike has 35,000 kilometers on it now. I've noticed throttle openings real conservative too. Like open throttle 100% in 6th and the Computer opens it 60%. Flash sorts that to so I'm told.

MotoUk that would be awesome, I’m in the market for a new bike next year, or maybe the year after. I currently have an MT09.

[@chincemagnet]

MotoUk the crappy thing is to convert an base model to an SP costs significantly more than the difference between them off the showroom floor. I looked into it, the suspension components were like $4000 US and that still leaves the Brembo components, probably another $1500-$2000

[@MOTOUK1]

Yes I know that’s why I bought the SP here because it was a no brainier with the extra parts. Let’s see if the new one comes over. Btw SP only has brembo rear master cylinder, not full brembo brakes :(

Hey, I’ve been riding a 1996 Suzuki bandit 600 for the past year and I’m looking into getting my next motorcycle. I’m trying to decide between the mt10 and the old fz1. The fz1 is quite a bit cheaper but my heart wants the cross plane engine and the pure badassery of the mt10. Have you done any 2 up riding? My girlfriend comes with me pretty often and the givi top case looks like it would be great for her to be more comfy. Any input on the 2 bikes would be great!

[@MOTOUK1]

Hi yes the top box makes it better for pillion to lean against for sure. The rear pegs are very high and a lot of guys buy the tracer ones and add on as they are longer and better for pillions. The standard seat is hard for pillion so a comfort seat better and wider on the back. My wife has been on many times 👍

[@MOTOUK1]

Never owned a fz1 so can’t comment

[@itwasntme7721]

I had an FZ1 4 7years and loved it, very understated no issues what so ever with the 5vy engine as I had the R1 before it with the same engine. I’ve just sold it as I’m looking to get an mt10 sp as it must be the perfect replacement, so all down to cost and what your heart really desires.

[@robloxer6808]

Does the SP tft screen work on a regular mt 09?

[@MOTOUK1]

No only on the 10 sp

[@kevincraig8257]

Why cant we get the sp in the states does anyone know why? Very nice bike

[@MOTOUK1]

Not sure, think it was a price issue, may be wrong

What is the difference between Yamaha mt10 and Yamaha mt10 SP?

[@MOTOUK1]

Hi Eric, so the differences are, ecu, colour tft dash, ohlins ft & rear electronic suspension, Paint scheme like R1M, seat cover, brake callipers. Silver lacquered swing arm.

What your services cost please?

[@MOTOUK1]

For garage service, or me doing myself. I do all my own servicing.

[@B1ueStryk3r]

@@MOTOUK1 Was hoping for garage, but what's the service like? Mileage, high low miles ?

[@MOTOUK1]

I only used garage for 1st service, I change my oil and filter every 2500 miles cost £50 I am currently at 15k miles and will do the valve service myself too as I think it’s £300 at a garage but easy enough to do just take time

Curious what your thoughts are on replacing the spark plugs on this beast? I’ve heard of it being a pain in the but so just curious if you find it easy or have some trick up your sleeve.

[@MOTOUK1]

Hi 👋 I’ve done 22,500 miles so far on same spark plugs so will ask the garage to change these on its 24,000 mile service. The dealer will check the valve/shims on this one and will have to strip the bike right down so he may as well do it. I’ve heard they are not easy to reach.
