TOP 5 annoying things about the Yamaha MT10!

[@OZZIEMV]

A bunch of keys? Why? I only have one key on my bikes. It saves scratching the headstem and surrounding area. All other keys should be on a separate keychain. Great video btw

[@dougiequick1]

good on you I have trouble keeping track of one key never mind two sets. I have to have my house key to get back in and my mailbox key because I have rural mail out on the highway so when I ride duhh i grab the mail coming home and then there is the key to my other motorcycle otherwise I'd have to have two sets of keys then there is my little keychain med holder cause some of us need to carry a couple pills for emergencies It does suck having all the stuff scraping around the ignition switch or dangling off the fuel cap....although I have an idea how to make the locking cap non locking. My idea is to remove all the pins except one from cap lock cylinder then make a key that cant start the bike can only open the cap then cut off the top leaving just enough to braze on a little metal peg then just leave it in the cap pretty much always... should be enough room the flip top closes over nub peg top key....can still pop it off if staying at a hotel or something otherwise will appear to be fully secured cap...one the real key still can open if I had to but not having to fool with keys with the nub key in place would be really nice on my MANY stops for gas!

[@postersm7141]

The only keys I have on my MT 10 is the ignition key and the key for the disc lock.

[@johnengland8619]

I use a single key and have a spare on my key ring in my pocket

[@coso6708]

I use one key on my mt10 and it still clashes with that clutch cable it is a stupid design

[@Banditmanuk]

I was an early adopter, still got my 2016 MT10. Brilliant bike and I've done 31,000 miles with no issues. Surprised a wobbly seat didn't make the list.

[@BikeLikeMike92]

Oo, I haven’t had a wobbly seat or even heard of that yet! Hope my seat doesn’t start wobbling that will wind me up a treat 😂

[@Banditmanuk]

@@BikeLikeMike92 You're probably much lighter than me but what happens is the rubber stops under the seat over time compress. The other annoyance when tank range is so short is the thing inside the top of the tank that stops you absolutely brimming the tank. (It's probably there to keep an expansion space and stop you putting the nozzle in too far) If you're careful you can slowly squeeze an extra litre in the top

[@BikeLikeMike92]

Yeah I do wait for it to bubble and settle then top it up a bit more. That’s a good one.

[@tropicaltrucker4425]

my only issue with the 2022 mt10 is that the seat is utter rubbish. my last 3 R1s were more comfortable which is impressive. oh and on the issue with the key, i highly recommend you never have more than just the bike key on the bike, had a short lanyard and a charm on mine that actually got stuck in between the tree and frame that almost caused me to crash in a corner because it would not let me turn the bars. other than that i have no complaints. @@BikeLikeMike92

[@BikeLikeMike92]

@@tropicaltrucker4425 I have caught the keys before (have a slightly beefy tracker on the fob)… but not at speed. Defo a good point

[@KHIJAPAN]

You are right and wrong at the same time. If you ride an Aprilia, a Ducati or KTM fuel consumption is even worse than Yamaha MT-10. They have bigger engines they produce more (unstable power) therefore they need more fuel. Also they are very annoying down low in the reverse range. On city ride they are a big drama. About the Kay hole you are right, but at the same time you shouldn't use all those keys on a motorcycle. FYI I own an MT-09 SP 2022 and an MT-10 2023 SP. Both tuned by me with Woolich racing.

Its a great street bike with fantastic suspension - electronic Ohlins, very comfy, best motor and sound, superb handling, brakes are fine for streets and almost no vibration thru grips - big deal for me. Just sold my 2020 Tuono 1100 Factory as I replaced it with this Yamaha and have no regrets - great bike!

[@psyfertech]

my 2022 gets fairly decent fuel mileage for the most part i think it averages around 38mpg but i hate how the fuel gauge will fool you from half to full its still this way on the new gen. I do find myself wishing it had a larger tank it definitely doesnt seem to last as long as my zx10r did but not a deal breaker by any means

Awesome. The MT10 is the best motorcycle ever produced. It has the comfortable position and the power you need to commute.

[@ScottPhx]

My 2023 MT-10 looks a lot better than the 2017. But you are dead on with the fuel consumption. Mine says 40 miles per gallon, not a chance. Mine also weighs 467 pounds but im i really big guy at 6'2 260 pounds. It feels like it was built specifically for me when i ride it. Personally i love my MT-10 to death, its bu far the most fun bike ive ever rode. The mid range power is crazy, i can school an R1 through corners especially on the exits. And im comfortable all day. I had 3 R1's since 2003 and they have all felt like ive been beat up at the gym after an 8-12 hour hard ride.

[@Adrenalean767]

8-12 hour ride? Smh

[@ScottPhx]

@Adrenalean767 Shake your head all you want. It's not going to change anything. Just because it's not something you can do doesn't mean that it isn't done by other people. I could explain it to you, but I'm sure you would just shake your head again.

[@britboybike_adventures3813]

Respect big fella, 8-12 hours on my Ducati 848 I wouldn't make it out alive haha I'd be gooey jelly. Tried the 2023 R1 and it was actually way more comfortable than 848

[@RichardASK]

I have a 2018 MT10 and if you use the gearbox the way it's supposed to be used ie use the higher gears for faster roads, then I don't find the economy that bad for the performance available. Also, don't get taken in by lots of poor economy reports from the US where they have silly little gallons of only 3.8 litres, instead of our larger 4.545 litre gallons.

[@dougiequick1]

same identical tank no matter where you are lol...who cares what units the fuel is sold in that seems lame! It is confusing though when a brit is bragging how many miles per gallon if one does not know the us gallon is smaller. But most of the world thinks in Liters ...btw I think a lot of americans pay less per liter (youd have to compute it though as it is not sold in liters) than a whole lot of other countries...whyever that is....american world politics or whatever I guess...MT-10 holds 4.5 US gallons but so what?

[@loki887]

For the key being under the clutch cable, I've taken a memorial ribbon of a friend that passed, and I've used it as a cable keeper by tying it to the handlebar. It was very first thing I did to the bike. My throttle also had a lateral wiggle that I used a bit of small rope to act as a spacer between the starter button and handle.

[@GC-xy2ec]

I love the Gen 1 MT. I have the special porridge version. Love the eyes on the original....Gen 2 has been dulled by the euro4 bureaucrats with emissions and catalyst

[@simonmaughan8727]

Good review. Fuel gauge definitely, fuel consumption, I'm getting 41mpg, which is nice, the rear fins behind the seat look worryingly flimsy but I can cope with all the shortcomings by how it goes and looks. A gem of a bike.

I have owned a 2017 Yamaha MT-10 for a few years now and have almost 10,000k's on it and I love almost everything about it. Things I don't like- The fuel usage really isn't that bad but is a concern when going on long rides, the seat is absolutely garbage and needs to be thrown in bin and buy an aftermarket seat asap, the stock exhausts is garbage, the Fluro rims get dirty really fast, the stock mirrors are ugly, the rear tail number plate thing is disgusting and the bike desperately needs a tune because the standard Yamaha fuel map is horrible but apart from that and a fair few dollars spent on after market stuff the bike is an absolute sexy beast with lots of power and sounds insane with a good straight pipe exhaust.

[@BikeLikeMike92]

Yeah I agree with all you say. Wheels chipping annoys me at the moment 😅. I haven’t had any seat issues however! A lot of People mention this.

[@fifthpint4571]

To be fair - bike tank shape, size, non-stop positional changes etc etc, all of those make measuring volume of fuel in the tank a nightmare. I am not surprised at all that the first bar on the gauge represents 50% - it is probably the closest to reality that the sensor can reasonably get. Ride safe!

[@Adrian_Conradie]

Most annoying thing, is: I don’t own one 😩

You’re exactly right. Attempting to get that key in and out is icing on the cake for this piece of trash bike. Yamaha bring back the VMax!!! If Ducati can figure out how to sell the V-4, in many forms in Europe, so can you. If in fact, that’s why you discontinued the VMax.

[@bbcbeerbottomcontent]

I'll tell you about the most annoying thing about the mt-10" is the robotic voiced video about the 25 because I'd be disappointed about my new xsr900. I know I enjoy the xsr more for so many reasons. The mt-10 was my first choice for what I need from a bike with my own personalization-like a trick ferring kit without the insurance. The 24 heritage white I have might help my cobble together a u.s. 24gp. If the 25 10 looked anything like the Ai b.s. I wouldn't whine much about trading is in for a absolutely beautiful beast. But it'd a.i. bs and it hooks you!

[@postersm7141]

I’m getting somewhere between 38 and 40 miles to the gallon depending on how I ride on my 2023 MT 10. I don’t care I didn’t buy it for fuel economy. I bought it for the wild beast that it is! I generally don’t ride like a hooligan. However, I did have it cruising at 103 mph today on the highway. I guarantee you she was drinking fuel, cruising at those speeds.

[@BikeLikeMike92]

Haha, glad to hear you bought it for the right reasons! Thanks for watching man!

[@P.M_M]

In the UK, unless 90%+ of your riding is done via motorway, the 10 averages 85-100miles on a tank + reserve. Just reset one of the 2 trip meters when you fill up. Vastly more reliable to do that and compare it to whether the gauge is under half or not. Then again, i daily my MT so I know exactly the sort of mileage I get based on my riding to the point i only really check the fuel gauge if I'm on the last black bar before it flashes vs my mileage to see roughly what I have left before I fill up again. Initially I hated the fuel gauge like yourself, but it didn't take me long to figure out my mileage, and now it only gets a casual glance.

The FZ models are FaZter, lol. Love mine as well. Still makes me smile at a glance and clinch from a stance. Respect.

@@mrboostification I had a chance to test the FZ1 many years ago. The MT-10 is clearly (far) superior on public roads. But then again, it drinks like an Irish bartender and really has too much power for that application - and so does the FZ1 by the way, which in comparison has little to no usably power in the tight twisties a like to ride on (or in other words is way to revy and therefore loud). Imo everything sporty above 130 bhp belongs on the race track. Torque rules on public roads.

Nah I wouldn’t worry, it’s not that heavy. It’s more of a preference thing with the physical size of the bike compared to something like a tuono which is much more slender. I’m 5,10 and 190lb. It just makes some other bikes feel a bit skinny - nothing to really concern you!

Shouldn't have to do it, but how about a zip tie to pull the clutch cable back towards the handlebars just enough to get the key past it, the same amount you move it with your fingers. In other words, don't cinch the zip tie all the way closed to where the cable is jammed against the handlebars, but rather just enough to move the cable back a little.

you really cant say its drinking too much fuel i compared others bikes with same fuel capacity its even. Ihad mt09 felt like it takes less, not its same but smalle tank. 200+km with 2-3 gear funs is enough. Had 2006 z1000 it had same fuel consumption. Having little remap it helps alot on eco mode

[@BikeLikeMike92]

What other bikes did you compare? I’m not saying it’s drinking too much but I am saying the consumption is annoying especially if you compare it to all of its competitors. A 2006 z1000 I defo wouldn’t compare to a 2017 mt10 though.

That bunch of keys will scratch up your bike. My ignition key is separate.

[@zombicidalmatt]

I just bought an MT10 2024, a few weeks back. I was at the grocery store, tried to put the key in, it fell.... Not on the ground, somehow it tucked itself inside the front gas tank grill to the right (seated), STRANGE, and that feat was not easy. We took a coffee stirrer wrapped in tape, could'nt get it out. Fortunately, I mentioned I lived a mile away and have the other key at home, the manager told another guy to take care of me. Fry's Food store in Phoenix. I now always approach the key in from the front, not while seated, the clutch cable is annoying in the way, key is long, and I only owned the bike for 50 miles at the time, for perspective. Otherwise, it is an outstanding bike, I am over 200 miles, have some accessories ready to install at 600 mile 1st service. My bike, I call her Tron, with all of the teal and glow, yep. I guess I will see that extra key back at my first service. Also, the rear seat, you need to use the key opened to lock her in, you can't just shove it down. I say rear seat lol, the whole seat

[@BikeLikeMike92]

Dam! That’s a pretty bad first experience with the key! 😅

I’ve had my 2020 MT 10 for a year now and concur with everything you have said. Hoping to take mine away to France this summer and wondered about fuel consumption so this has helped. (I live on a small island with no motorways so having a better idea of motorway fuel consumption is helpful) Running a full Austin Racing Exhaust on mine if anyone new to the MT is looking for a disgustingly obnoxious sound for their MT 10 I highly recommend those cans. 😂

Just googled it, very interesting! “Fuel economy improves at higher altitude in all engines because the pumping work is reduced. As you go up, a lower manifold vacuum is required. Also, aerodynamics comes into play too as the car/bike cuts through the thinner air much easier.” Pretty cool!
