r/Mt10

Are there any lower options out there for this bike other than shaving it down yourself?

I heard there was but my searches only find the comfort one or the Corbin both are taller.

Hi all, i have just picked myself up a second gen SP, a few little touches here and there but mostly stock. it has a standard exhaust system but is too quiet for.my taste. I am after some recommendations from people who have done a swap out or helped a mate or customer do a swap out. I am only interested in a slip on, as I don't want issues with the factory sensors or the po po, and i want it to be carbon fibre. my old R1 has CF Termignoni pipes on it and it sounds spectacular. a friend of mine who used to review bikes for a living said its one of the best sounding bikes he has ever heard, so i was leaning that way, but before i drop a grand on that, i wanted to hear some other opinions. i am after a deep grumble as opposed to a tinny type of sound if that makes sense.

Thanks all for any input or advice.

Anyone know how strict the police and authorities are regarding exhausts on the bike in country’s like Germany, Netherlands, France, Spain?

I have a mid-pipe on now with a original akra slip on. Somewhat loud, but not to much.
Would I get in trouble as a tourist on holiday with my exhaust?

I just picked up a new MT-10 and I’m struggling with what I should do about the exhaust. My favorite thing about the bike is the sound of it and I want to hear more than what the stock set up offers. I wear earplugs so most of the stock exhaust sound is muffled. I took the stock muffler off today (left the cat on) and I was surprised how much that changed the sound of the bike. Definitely in the right direction but I’m hoping for a bit more.

First, is there a can that keeps that volume of what I am hear now and maybe adds a little deepness to it?

Second, I know most of the sound will come from deleting the cat but I don’t want the bike to be THAT much louder. Is there a less loud mid pipe? Maybe that with the stock can? I saw the Leo Vince has a resonator in it but not sure how much of a difference that makes.

I do some light touring with the bike and take my wife on rides occasionally so I don’t want to be hating the sound after a few hours in the saddle - plus I don’t like alerting the local LE that I’m coming.

I currently ride a 2024 XSR 900. I love it. However, I'm considering getting an MT10 also. I plan to track day a couple times a year. I love the twisties and I also use the XSR for commuting occasionally. I imagine I'll use the MT10 for the same sort of things. Being a mid-level rider, would I even notice much of a difference between an MT10 and my XSR?

2021 MT10

I could use a bit of help with this. I reversed the battery polarity while I was swapping it out with a lithium unit. Since then, I've had a persistent CEL, I can't get my obd2 scanner to come on when plugged up, I've lost the turn signals and brake light (not the tail light, that still comes on. Just no additional light when brake levers are pressed), and the dash doesn't store the time between shut down/start up. I've gone through all the fuses both under the seat and in the box under the left air duct and found no blown fuses. Aside from those issues, the bike runs and rides flawlessly. Any tips on how to move forward from here?

First day with my 2026, MT 10.

Upgrade from a 2023 Kawasaki Z 900.

Overall impressions power delivery is awesome. Pickup is awesome. The electronics are great quick shifter up and down works flawlessly.

But now for the bad,

Throttle system…crazy hard to start the bike. Once’s it’s going great…

But from a start trying to get into traffic quickly it’s dangerous.

In full disclosure, I did have the bike in power mode 4 , since the tires were new and I wanted to get used to it.

But literally, you have to keep the engine above 3500 RPMs while letting the clutch out and as you let the clutch out the RPMs dive in the more throttle you give it it doesn’t really do anything. There’s a huge dead zone.

I did notice that when I put the bike into power mode three and two it did seem better.

But if you are starting out on a decent sized hill and then trying to get onto a road with traffic, it’s just scary.

Any tips?

I can’t seem to find a way to do it yet comfortably.

Zero confidence in being able to accelerate quick from a stop without causing the engine to lug.

What I find really weird is even as I’m going and the engine may be starting to log. I can open the throttle quite a bit more and nothing happens until all of a sudden it jumps to about 5000 RPMs and at that point I have too much clutch in.

So I’m not quite sure what to make of this. I’m sure some is operator error but hopefully I’ll figure it out and get used to it other than that the bike is pretty sweet.

Anyone tried doing the brake fluid change on their own? I’ve got a 2023 and thinking of doing it but ruining the abs is what’s holding me back. Should this be something I let the dealer do ?

Any of y'all feel comfortable sharing your insurance premium for your MT-10?

To kick it off, mine's $407/yr (PIF) in Texas through Progressive, prove always been pretty friendly to motorcycles - and boats). I'm over 50 with no wrecks, no tix. It's basically 2x what my '23 z900 RS was (MT is a '22), but I know the bike's in a higher risk category. Still though, I'm pretty happy with that rate. The longer we spoke, the lower it got! Started at around $700. I'm happy and relieved! I'd been running liability-only for the last five months since I bought it!

And if an ECU Flash involves remapping, is it considerably more responsive than stock PWR-A setting? How does an ECU flash hit the wallet in terms of fuel consumption ?

Hello,

The motorcycle does not start or show display at all.

What I have tried:

Changed fuses, but blows everytime I change it.
Checked for faulty wires (with the tank removed)
Changed battery with a new one and tried to charge the old one.

The only thing that happens when I plug the battery in is that the starter motor starts going by itself. Could this be an issue with the start relé? I am going insane with this, appreciate all help. Thank you
