Engineered by Yamaha for the naked motorcycle segment, the 2016 Yamaha MT-10 relies on a 998 cc (60.9 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 79.0 x 50.9 mm (3.1 x 2.0 inches) with a 12.0:1 compression ratio.
Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 815 mm (32.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,440 mm (56.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 17-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
Within MotoLibrary's Yamaha archive, this model family spans 10 indexed model years from 2016 to 2025, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
