4. Generation Cutoffs & Real-World Wrenching Gotchas
Model-Year & Chassis Generation Notes
Updated for 2022 on chassis RN78, the MT-10 SP became the first production motorcycle with next-gen spool-valve Öhlins semi-active suspension, braided steel brake lines, and a 3-piece belly pan.
Oil & Clutch Mechanical Engineering Note
Shrouded by its 3-piece lower fairing, the 998cc CP4 engine and oil cooler hold 4.1 L (with HF204 filter) of SAE 10W-40 or 15W-50 JASO MA2 full-synthetic oil.
Garage Wrenching Gotchas
- Unclip the delicate Öhlins electronic actuator connectors atop both fork caps before loosening triple-clamp pinch bolts or adjusting preload.
- Remove the 3-piece lower chin spoiler panels carefully for HF204 filter access and ensure all heat-shield grommets sit properly away from the titanium/steel headers.
5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What oil volume, JASO grade, and oil filter code does the Yamaha MT-10 SP (RN78 Öhlins Gen-2) (2022–Present) require?
Because its wet multi-plate clutch shares engine oil with the gearbox, run SAE 10W-40 (JASO MA2) at 3.9 L (4.12 US qt) drain-only and 4.1 L (4.33 US qt) with filter (5GH-13440-80 / HF204).
How do you accurately check the oil level on the MT-10 SP (RN78 Öhlins Gen-2), and what are its service intervals?
Hold the motorcycle dead-vertical on level ground 2–3 minutes after warm shutdown and verify the oil sits mid-way between the Upper and Lower marks in the crankcase sight glass—never on the sidestand. Torque the drain plug to 43 N·m with a new crush washer. Factory oil change intervals are every 6,000 km, with valve clearance inspection every 40,000 km.
What are the cold tire pressures, puncture repair type, seat height, and range of the MT-10 SP (RN78 Öhlins Gen-2)?
Fitted with 120/70ZR17M/C (58W) front and 190/55ZR17M/C (75W) rear tubeless rims (compatible with roadside plug kits), set cold tire pressures to 36 / 42 PSI (250/290 kPa) solo or 36 / 42 PSI loaded. Seat height is 835 mm (32.9 in) at 214 kg wet weight, delivering ~247 km per 17 L tank.
