Engineering Highlight: The Evolution of the 270° Crank
The MT-07 Tracer 7 GT Y-AMT represents a pivotal moment in Yamaha’s ‘Crossplane Concept’ history. While the CP2 engine originally gained fame for its linear torque delivery and V-twin-like firing order (inspired by the legendary TRX850), the 2025 Y-AMT variant (MT-07-TRGTYAMT) introduces the first automated manual transmission to this platform. This system eliminates the traditional foot-shifter and clutch lever, utilizing two electric actuators to handle shifting and clutch engagement in under 0.1 seconds, bridging the gap between touring comfort and sport-naked agility.
Technical Review: Performance Meets Automation
At MotoSpecsLab, we evaluate the Tracer 7 GT Y-AMT as more than just a middleweight tourer. The inclusion of the Y-AMT system allows riders to toggle between ‘D’ (Drive) for relaxed touring and ‘D+’ for aggressive gear holding. Despite the added electronics, the bike retains its lightweight chassis, making it one of the most flickable sport-tourers in its class. The GT trim specifically adds high-density side cases and a touring windscreen, optimizing the CP2 platform for long-distance stability.
Maintenance Roadmap & Specifications
To maintain the integrity of the Y-AMT system and the CP2 engine, adherence to technical specifications is non-negotiable for long-term reliability.
Lubrication System
The MT-07-TRGTYAMT requires 2.60 Liters of Yamalube 4 10W-40. It is critical to use oil meeting JASO MA standards to ensure the automated clutch actuators operate without slippage or thermal degradation.
Ignition & Electrical
The high-compression CP2 engine utilizes NGK LMAR8A-9 spark plugs. The gap must be precisely set between 0.8–0.9 mm to prevent misfires that could disrupt the Y-AMT shifting logic. The electrical load from the shifting actuators is supported by a YTZ10S battery; maintaining a full charge is essential for reliable gear engagement.
Tires & Handling
The Tracer 7 GT is equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels. For optimal contact patch and heat dissipation during touring, maintain the following pressures:
- Front: 120/70 ZR 17 (2.25 bar / 33 psi)
- Rear: 180/55 ZR 17 (2.50 bar / 36 psi)
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I shift gears manually on the Y-AMT?
Yes, the Y-AMT features a see-saw switch on the left handlebar, allowing for manual sequential shifts without a foot lever.
What is the oil capacity for a filter change?
The total capacity is approximately 2.60 liters, though we recommend checking the sight glass after 2.3 liters during a standard service.
