2017 Yamaha MT-09 Tracer released – RM52,000

2017 Yamaha MT-09 Tracer released – RM52,000

As a variant of the Yamaha MT-09, the 2017 Yamaha MT-09 Tracer has been launched by official distributor Hong Leong Yamaha Malaysia, at a price of RM52,000, including GST. Based on the MT-09 naked sports bike, the locally assembled MT-09 Tracer adds a sports-touring capability to Yamaha Malaysia’s range.

Carrying the same three-cylinder, 847 cc, liquid-cooled Crossplane 3 power plant as the MT-09, the MT-09 Tracer produces a claimed 115 hp at 10,000 rpm and 87.5 Nm torque at 8,500 rpm, which doesn’t make it a slouch in the power stakes. Power gets to the ground via a six-speed gearbox and final drive is by chain.

Standard for the MT-09 Tracer is ABS braking and traction control, both items which are becoming standard for machines above 600 cc these days. Weighing in at 190 kg, the MT-09 Tracer falls nicely into the weight bracket for an almost litre-class sports-tourer, and comes with brackets ready to accept luggage.

The 2017 Yamaha MT-09 Tracer complements to MT-09, and further down the range, the Yamaha MT-07, and carries fuel in an 18-litre tank. Availability of the MT-09 Tracer at authorised Hong Leong Yamaha dealers is from next week, and two colour options are available, Yamaha Blue and Matte Grey.

Currently, the 2016 Yamaha MT-09 retails at RM44,653, while the 2017 Yamaha MT-07 goes for RM36,795. All prices include GST, but exclude road tax, registration and number plates.

      MT09 Tracer and MT09 are in a different categories bike. Like Kawasaki ER6N and Versys650. Same chassis and engine, but in different categories. And of course the price are different.

      While the press release from Hong Leong Yamaha Malaysia did not list the seat height, the Yamaha Australia website has the MT-09 Tracer’s seat height listed as 845 mm for the TRA version marketed there.

  • HLYM know about safety & quality vs value ? on Jul 20, 2017 at 11:51 am

    Hi Paultan, pls ask HLYM do they care about safety & quality such as Wobble issues ? Clutch issues (crack & noise) ? cam chain tensioner issues (noise) ? Under seat cover crack ? & etc… CBU launched with selling higher priced RM59,900 but no recall or no improvement for above mentioned.
    Remark: For more problems encounter, refer from http://www.fz-09forums.com & interviewed from CBU users.

  • I couldn’t confirm it with my nearest dealer. but is the MT09 Tracer CKD equipped with ABS? because the ABS was removed in the CKD mt09.
