Automated Manual Transmission

Over the last decade, the MT-09 has cemented its status as a Yamaha icon and now, there is a whole new dimension to the Dark Side of Japan. All the qualities which make the MT-09 a leader in its class have been elevated to the next level with the introduction of Y-AMT. Feel more at one with the MT-09 than ever before, focus on the adrenaline-inducing acceleration and super-precise handling with gear changes distilled to a sporty and slick finger-operated shift (MT) or fully automatic transmission (AT).

MT offers quicker and more consistent, clutchless gear changes at your fingertips via an intuitive and tactile see-saw switch, enabling the MT-09’s true performance to be unleashed at its full sporty potential. While AT offers simplified shifting with a fully automatic transmission with two options to suit different riding scenarios.
