== Overview ==

Yamaha MT-01 50th Anniversary Special Edition




















The MT-01 is the bike that started the Torque Sports
revolution.
This motorcycle is like nothing you've ever ridden - an air-cooled 1670cc
V-twin powerplant that produces lots of soul stirring torque, wrapped in a
sports chassis.
The MT-01 is a revolutionary motorcycle, with a soulbeat character that
unleashes maximum torque at 3,750 rpm. That's the whole idea of Torque
Sports - mega-thrust in the most useable riding range ... the instant you
grab the throttle. And this monster air cooler is bolted into an aluminum
sport-derived chassis with R1-style truss swingarm, 43 mm inverted forks,
low-slung rear shock, radial-mounted calipers and a truly unique body
design.

EVERY BEAT OF THIS ENGINE IS AN EVENT
The heart of the MT01 is its engine - a massive, air-cooled, 1,670cc
V-twin drumming out its own kind of heartbeat that will reverberate through
motorcycling history. This is iconic sports performance like nothing else on
the street, unleashing mega torque and a throbbing exhaust note from its
long-stroke crankshaft, forged pistons, ultra-efficient pent roof combustion
chambers and ceramic composite-plated cylinders.
TORQUE SPORTS FROM TICK-OVER TO REDLINE
This monumental V-twin has been tuned for Torque sports.
At low rpm the massive pulsing torque output delivers an instant rush of
thrust. And at increased revs - peak torque arrives at 3,750 rpm - that
thrust growls and swells to produce astonishing sports performance. The
low-mass crankshaft encourages easy-revving performance, while the
tall-ratio gearbox allows you to use the incomparable torque output to
maximum effect. In other words, no matter what the revs are, the enjoyment
is all yours with MT-01.
MINIMUM CHASSIS, MAXIMUM ENGINE
With a bike like the MT-01 the engine has got to be the centre of
attention, so when we came to designing the frame we wanted it to be
minimal, to allow the engine to rule, and yet great to look at.
Which is why we used our exclusive CF die-cast technology. This hi-tech
process - developed by Yamaha - allows lighter, more intricate castings,
giving us the freedom to create a weldless frame that is stiff, light,
compact and stunning to look at. The upside-down truss-style swingarm -
similar to the arm used on our YZF-R1 supersport weapon - is also cast
aluminium for an optimum stiffness/flex ratio, contributing to the bikes
confidence-inspiring handling.
INHALE
The MT-01 breathes in and lives. Yamaha engineers focused special
attention on the bikes intake system, working to cram the delivery of
fresh, dense air into those massive cylinders for a lusty, big-torque
feeling. Air enters the large-capacity, variable intake downdraft airbox -
neatly housed within the frame - to feed the digital fuel injection system,
featuring twin-bore downdraft injectors for astonishing low-rpm performance
and transient power characteristics.



EXHALE
The MT-01 lives and breathes out. It feeds on gasoline and air, the
burned mix exhaling through a titanium exhaust system that maximises the
MT-01s pounding heartbeat. Superbly sculpted from large-radius curves for
reduced exhaust-flow resistance, the exhaust system  featuring a muffler
cover cooling system - uses Yamahas renowned Supersport-bred EXUP device,
for enhanced low-rpm torque, and culminates in magnificent twin mufflers
that emit a rhythmic, throbbing beat you can both feel and hear.
SENSORY OVERLOAD
Just in front of you, the MT-01s dash panel tells the story of every
mile travelled, its 3D-effect analogue tacho marking every heartbeat, its
digital speedo so easy to read. Even the instrument illumination contributes
to the MT-01 riding experience, with individually adjustable backlighting
for each device.

Key features

High-performance, 1670cc air-cooled, long-stroke, OHV, 4 valves per
cylinder, 48°, V-twin powerplant produces massive torque and strong
acceleration for an emotionally charged ride.
Traditional pushrod valve actuation keeps engine height down for a lower
centre of gravity for great handling and ensures more uniform heat
dissipation due to absence of a cam chain case.
One-piece head cover adds rigidity around the rocker arms to provide
great high rpm performance and efficient heat dissipation.
Four-valve, pent roof cylinder head design uses two spark plugs per
cylinder for efficient combustion and great power delivery at all rpms.

Valve train includes short design intake and exhaust rocker arms that
reduce inertia during high-rpm performance.
Twin, crankcase-mounted, high-lift cams ensure strong acceleration and
horsepower. The cam profiles and timing are specially designed for the MT-01
Hydraulic valve lifters driven by twin camshafts deliver exceptional
performance and lower maintenance requirements.
Crankshaft and connecting rod design is unique to the MT-01. Inertia mass
is reduced 18% and weight is reduced by 10% compared to the Warrior crank.
The crank flywheel shapes are also different.
Large-diameter pistons feature durable and lightweight forged
construction to accommodate higher-rpm performance with reduced vibration
and less reciprocating mass.
Larger-bore ceramic composite-plated cylinders provide uniform heat
dissipation, reduce weight, reduce friction and increase cylinder service
life.
Cooling fin thickness is optimized for maximum heat dissipation, thereby
eliminating the need for liquid cooling, maintaining that traditional clean,
air-cooled engine appearance. Special lower mounted aluminum air duct
directs air toward the cylinders for additional cooling
40mm, twin-bore, downdraft Mikuni AC40 throttle body fuel injection (FI)
with throttle position sensor (TPS) ensures optimal fuel delivery, great
throttle response, reduced emissions and maximum power. Choke less design
means no fuss, sure starts.
12 hole Mikuni injectors provide great fuel / air atomization for maximum
power output.
Specially designed air box features a solenoid controlled variable intake
to provide excellent throttle response. The inlet duct is forward facing.


State-of-the-art Electronic Control Unit (ECU) ensures precisely metered
fuel delivery and optimal ignition spark control using 3D transistorized
coil ignition mapping for each cylinder.
Dry sump lubrication system means a more compact engine design. The die
cast aluminum oil reservoir is mounted low and in front/beside the engine
which lowers the centre of gravity for great handling. A handy, spin-on oil
filter means fast, easy oil changes.
Smooth-shifting, 5-speed transmission features optimized primary,
secondary and gear ratios for excellent power and torque feeling. Ratios are
maximized to provide great "real world" spine-tingling roll-on performance
at all rpms.
Multi 10-plate wet clutch uses a hydraulic master cylinder for easy,
consistent lever pull and auto adjusts the free play.
Under seat high-performance, 2-into-1-into 2 exhaust system features a
mix of stainless steel and titanium components. The dual large diameter
mufflers boost torque and horsepower while producing a throaty, V-twin
growl. The system also utilizes an under seat cooling fan and special heat
shields to eliminate any passenger discomfort from hot exhaust components.
Three 3-way catalyizers are integrated into the exhaust system to reduce
harmful emissions.
The exhaust system also utilizes a lightweight titanium EXUP exhaust
power valve which improves torque character, eliminates "flat spots" and
improves overall power output.
Electric starting system features solenoid-activated auto-decompressor
for fast, easy starting.

All new, lightweight aluminum C.F. die cast downtube-type frame offers
excellent handling and a clean image due to the lack of visible welds. Frame
features a mix of die cast and forged tubes for strength and durability.

The engine is a fully stressed member. Solid-mounted engine centralizes
rider/machine mass for quick cornering transitions.
Fully detachable C.F. die cast aluminum subframe means easier rear shock
access and reduced costs in the event of a "loop-out".
R1 inspired lightweight under truss-type, aluminum swingarm offers superb
rigidity. The swingarm length is optimized to provide excellent stability,
traction and handling. The pivot point of the swingarm bolts to the outside
of the frame, allowing a narrower frame. The benefit is a slimmer frame, and
slimmer seat which reduces overall seat height.
Fully adjustable 43mm inverted fork offers 120mm (4.7") of wheel travel
for exceptional sports handling. The adjustable design allows the rider to
tailor suspension settings to match weight and road conditions to maximize
handling and suspension performance. Adjustments include 5-way spring
preload, 20-way compression damping and 25-way rebound damping
adjustability.
Beefy, cast aluminum, top and bottom triple clamps help increase fork
rigidity and reduce weight.
Link rear suspension utilizes a fully adjustable "piggyback-type" single
rear shock. Adjustments include; spring preload, 12-way compression damping
and 20-way rebound damping adjustability. The shock is mounted low and
behind the engine to centralize mass and keep a low center of gravity for
excellent handling.
Dual 320mm floating front rotors are squeezed by radial mounted, ultra
rigid, 4-piston, monoblock calipers. 16mm Brembo-type radial master cylinder
is used to provide exceptional stopping power with great lever feel and
feedback. The brake lever is adjustable to fit a variety of hand sizes.
267mm floating rear disc is squeezed by a dual-piston caliper Nissin
caliper.
All new 4-spoke lightweight mag wheels reduce weight and enhance handling
qualities. Front rim size is MT 3.50x17 while the rear rim is a wide MT
6.00x17 fitted with tubeless radial tires for awesome handling.
Compact 15 liter steel fuel tank allows the use of tank bags. Low fuel
light activates with 3 Litresof fuel remaining.
One piece 'Buckskin-type" leather seat features a flat profile for
excellent rider and passenger comfort. The MT symbol is embossed in the rear
of the seat.
All new tapered conventional handlebar is used.
Compact, multi-functional centrally mounted instrument features an
analogue speedo, digital tach, dual tripmeters, a fuel reserves tripmeter,
low fuel light and clock. The brightness of the background illumination and
LCDs can be adjusted to suit personal preferences.
Eye catching multi reflector 55/51-watt halogen headlight provides a
powerful beam of light.
LED rear tail light with stylish clear lens.
Immobilizer ignition system is designed to reduce the possibility of
theft. This new system must recognize the "coded ignition key" in order for
the unit to start. If the immobilizer ignition does not recognize the key
(or a theft's screwdriver or other type of "jimmy tool" the bike will not
start even if the ignition is turned or forced into the on position.
Lower fork leg protectors prevent dirt and stone chips from damaging
sliders and seals
"O" ring chain
Low-fuel warning light
Fork lock integrated into main ignition switch for extra convenience
