The 'less is more' approach to styling reinforces the MT-09's aggressive look and enhances the riding experience. Sharper Lighting A more compact LED headlamp, enclosed in a re-designed cover, complements the bike's aggressive style. It offers a broad and powerful beam with soft edges for both low and high beam settings. Twin LED position lights add to the MT-09's sharp and aggressive look. The rear features a newly designed LED tail-light with a distinctive design. Fuel Tank Design The new fuel tank is designed to promote a more engaged and free riding position while maintaining the MT's edgy aesthetic. Produced using a new press moulding method, the tank offers sharper character with defined edges. Amplified CP3 Acoustics The MT-09's signature sound is amplified by a revised airbox with newly designed air-intake ducts. An acoustic amplifier grille enhances the sound, especially at higher speeds and revs, delivering a vibrant note to the rider. Redefined Riding Position Refined ergonomics, lower handlebars, and two adjustable handlebar positions enhance rider comfort and offer greater freedom of movement. Footrests are repositioned, and passenger footpegs are redesigned for improved comfort. New Brake and Gear Shift Pedals The rear brake pedal is now made from forged aluminum, and the gear shift pedal has a flattened tip for smoother operation. Separated Rider and Passenger Seats The MT-09 now features separated front and rear seats, improving rider position and convenience. The step between the seats keeps the rider forward and agile.

An adjustable clutch lever provides further control during clutch engagement.
