2007 Yamaha Minor and Colour Change Models In addition to the new motorcycle and scooter models being introduced by Yamaha for 2007, the MT-01, XJR1300 and TDM900 feature a number of significant technical changes which are described in detail. And many of the current models feature minor specification changes as well as new colour schemes. Please find them listed below. New colours are shown in bold/Italic.
YAMAHA MOTORCYCLES Sport Roadster MT-01 Since its debut in the 2005 season, the charismatic MT-01 has further underlined Yamaha’s reputation as one of the motorcycle industry’s most innovative thinkers. Its very special combination of a large-capacity high-torque V-twin engine and a sporty aluminium chassis has added a new dimension to the street category. For 2007 the MT-01 features a number of technical changes which are sure to add to its appeal as one of today’s most desirable ‘torque sports’ machines.
New 6-pot front calipers Braking performance and feel is substantially uprated for 2007 with the fitment of dual 6-pot one-piece front brake calipers. These high-specification calipers are actually the same design as those fitted to the new fifth-generation 2007 YZF-R1, and so owners of the new 2007 MT-01 can be assured that their machine has the most sophisticated front braking system ever fitted to a Yamaha production motorcycle.
New design clutch and front brake reservoirs For improved looks the latest MT-01 benefits from newly designed clutch and front brake reservoirs. Featuring a simple, stylish and more unified design, they complement the bike’s lines, and deliver smooth and controllable clutch and braking action.
Lightweight fork covers / new mirrors As well as its huge torque output and high-specification chassis, the MT-01 is also famous for its unique style and high quality. For 2007 the exclusivity of this unique machine is further enhanced with a number of detail changes to the chassis which make for an even more impressive package.
New lightweight and more compact fork covers give a sportier look to the front end, while newly designed mirrors add the finishing touch to this imposing and charismatic motorcycle.
Technical highlights • Air-cooled 1,670cc 4-stroke OHV V-twin • Massive torque output • Maximum torque 150.1Nm (15.3 kg-m) @ 3,750rpm • High-specification aluminium sports chassis • New dual 6-pot front brake calipers (same as 2007 R1) • Dual floating 310mm front discs • New lightweight and compact fork covers • New mirrors

Street XJR1300 With its impressive-looking in-line 4-cylinder engine, timeless styling and wealth of advanced engine and chassis technology, the Yamaha XJR1300 is regarded by many as the definitive large-capacity air-cooled muscle bike.
For 2007 this legendary model benefits from a wide range of improvements to the engine and chassis, and this process of gradual evolution has resulted in a stronger and better-looking XJR1300. Rather than wholesale change, this handsome muscle bike has undergone a process of careful fine-tuning which has been focused on the intake and exhaust, riding position and front and rear suspension systems.
Yamaha’s programme of ongoing development of this class-leading machine has ensured that the much-loved character of the XJR1300 remains the same, while at the same time the engine and chassis performance have been significantly refined.
New fuel injection system The XJR1300’s new fuel injection system has the same design as the sub-throttle system featured on the 2004 model YZF-R1, and offers high levels of intake control. The 12-hole 2-directional injector is controlled by the ECU which monitors rpm and throttle opening in order to achieve optimum intake efficiency, and this new fuel injection system plays a key role in achieving the increased performance of the 2007 XJR1300.
Optimised camshaft profile To accommodate the new fuel injection system the 2007 XJR1300 runs with a new intake camshaft which gives revised intake valve lift, and the overlap range of the intake and exhaust valves has also been optimised to give greater intake efficiency.
New 4-2-1 exhaust system One of the most visible changes for 2007 is the new 4-2-1 exhaust system which has an extremely high quality finish to underline the XJR1300’s enhanced performance and style. The size and length of the pipes and expansion chamber are carefully designed to optimise power output, and the 2007 model achieves a higher level of maximum torque at only 6,000 rpm, a full 500 rpm lower than the 2006 machine.
Adoption of EXUP A compact version of Yamaha’s famous torque-boosting EXUP valve is used on the 2007 XJR1300. By using rpm and gear position data to control precisely the flow of exhaust gases, this proven system helps to improve torque characteristics.
3-way catalyser with oxygen sensor and air induction system A new 3-way honeycomb catalyser coated in platinum and rhodium reduces exhaust emissions to well below EU3 levels, and for more effective operation of the catalyser an oxygen sensor is also fitted. The catalyser is in three parts – two in the mid-section of the exhaust where there are two pipes, and another one in the silencer. In addition, a solenoid-controlled air induction system is also fitted, and this ensures even more complete combustion of any unburnt hydrocarbons present in the exhaust system.
New front suspension settings To match the new sportier engine character the front suspension settings on the large-diameter front forks have been revised. The 2006 XJR1300’s 43mm diameter forks are well-known for their smooth operation, and the changes for 2007 are designed to enhance the plush suspension action and the light handling feel, while also reducing nosedive during braking.
Öhlins rear shocks with special settings The 2007 model is equipped with a pair of the latest high-specification Öhlins rear shocks which are designed to offer a more linear and direct feel. In particular, these new shocks offer optimised rebound and compression damping characteristics which help to reduce rear end ‘squat’ during acceleration, to give improved traction and enhanced handling performance. These latest Öhlins shocks also feature a new preload adjuster mechanism which ensures easier and more accurate adjustments.
Sportier and more comfortable riding position A new seat design offers an optimum balance of sportiness and comfort, and incorporates specially-developed foam with an idealised balance of viscosity and flexibility. The seating position has been moved slightly to the rear, while the handlebar position is moved marginally forwards, and these changes create a sportier and more comfortable riding position.
Other changes The 2007 XJR1300 also benefits from dual circular LED tail lights, internal illumination for the instruments, clear flasher lenses, redesigned side covers and oval mirrors.
The ultimate muscle bike evolves The process of evolution that has led to the development of the 2007 XJR1300 underlines Yamaha’s commitment to offering all of our customers a line-up of models that constantly exceed their expectations. The range of engine and chassis changes are designed to ensure that this class leading naked muscle bike continues to appeal to those customers who appreciate traditional style and serious performance combined with up-to-the-minute technology.
