Is the Yamaha MT-01 lighter or heavier than other Yamaha naked bikes?
Compared with similar Yamahas in this dataset, it is heavier than about 94.9% of 69 naked bikes using the same weight basis.
Which Yamaha MT-01 years have different weight specs?
The supplied data shows different weight figures across the 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012 model years. Use the year-specific changes section above for the exact value attached to each changed year.
How much does a full tank add to the Yamaha MT-01?
Based on the supplied 3.96 US gal (15 L) tank capacity, the gasoline itself weighs about 24.6 lb (11.2 kg) when full. This helps explain part of the difference between dry and ready-to-ride mass.
What is the combined Yamaha MT-01 and rider weight?
Using the model’s representative wet/running weight and a 180 lb rider, the combined bike-and-rider mass is about 764.2 lb (346.6 kg) before riding gear, luggage or a passenger.
What is the Yamaha MT-01 power-to-weight ratio?
Available model-year data produces 15.41 hp per 100 lb to 17.01 hp per 100 lb. It shows engine output relative to motorcycle mass rather than just quoting peak horsepower. That places it around the 63rd percentile within the compatible Yamaha naked bike power-to-weight comparison.
What is the estimated Yamaha MT-01 weight with a full tank of gas?
Filling the listed tank brings the calculated bike weight to roughly 553.7 lb (251.2 kg) to 567 lb (257.2 kg). This estimate is most useful when no official wet/running figure is available.
How much weight do fuel and fluids add to the Yamaha MT-01?
Where both figures are available, the listed wet-versus-dry difference is about 41.9 lb (19 kg). That gap reflects fuel and operating fluids, plus any differences in how the source defines dry and running weight.
How much of the Yamaha MT-01 total weight comes from fuel?
The calculated full-tank fuel mass is about 4.2% to 4.7% of the bike’s listed weight. This helps show why a dry-weight number can understate what you actually manage on the road.
Motorcycle specifications can vary by model year, market, equipment and the exact dry/curb-weight definition.
