Yamaha MT09TR weight FAQ
What is the Yamaha MT09TR wet weight?
The supplied wet/running weight is 471.8 lb (214 kg) to 472 lb (214.1 kg) across the model years covered here. That figure is the most useful available number for real-world handling because operating fluids and fuel are included.
Is the Yamaha MT09TR lighter or heavier than other Yamaha supermoto bikes?
Weight is broadly typical for the category, landing around the 50th percentile in this model-level Yamaha comparison.
Which Yamaha MT09TR years have different weight specs?
The supplied data shows different weight figures across the 2020-2021 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 MT09TR?
Based on the supplied 4.76 US gal (18 L) to 4.8 US gal (18.17 L) tank capacity, the gasoline itself weighs about 29.6 lb (13.4 kg) to 29.8 lb (13.5 kg) when full. On models with a wet/running weight, that fuel mass is already included in the listed ready-to-ride figure.
What is the combined Yamaha MT09TR and rider weight?
Using the model’s representative wet/running weight and a 180 lb rider, the combined bike-and-rider mass is about 651.9 lb (295.7 kg) before riding gear, luggage or a passenger.
What is the Yamaha MT09TR power-to-weight ratio?
Available model-year data produces 24.36 hp per 100 lb. It shows engine output relative to motorcycle mass rather than just quoting peak horsepower. That places it around the 96th percentile within the compatible Yamaha super motard power-to-weight comparison.
What is the Yamaha MT09TR torque per 100 lb of bike weight?
Where compatible torque and weight figures are available, the model works out to 13.67 lb-ft per 100 lb. This gives more context than torque alone because it relates engine twist to the mass it has to move.
How many cc does the Yamaha MT09TR have per pound?
The available figures work out to 1.79 cc per lb. This is not a performance rating, but it is a useful way to compare engine size against total motorcycle mass.
Where will I notice the Yamaha MT09TR weight most?
The main challenge is low-speed and stationary handling. Once moving the chassis may disguise the mass, but backing up or holding it on a slope still means managing the full weight.
Motorcycle specifications can vary by model year, market, equipment and the exact dry/curb-weight definition. Calculated fuel-weight and ratio figures on this page are estimates derived from the supplied specifications.
