What it costs per 10,000 km

Estimated running costs per 10,000 km for the Yamaha MT-07
Fuel4.2 L/100 km at 1.85 EUR/L€775
Oil servicesevery 10,000 km, ~2.5 L oil plus filter and 1 h labour€155
Valve checksevery 42,000 km, ~3 h labour plus plugs€75
Chain and sprocketskit roughly every 24,000 km€115
Tyresnaked rubber, ~8,000 km a set€400
Total, estimated€1,520

Assumptions: workshop labour €95/hour, fuel 1.85 EUR/L, oil €18/L, chain kit €180 fitted, naked tyres €320 a set lasting about 8,000 km. DIY servicing removes the labour lines entirely. Your prices will differ; the ratios mostly will not.

What MT-07 owners actually watch

  • The CP2 is the reliability benchmark: 42,000 km valve intervals and a record of hitting them with clearances still in spec.
  • Chains outlast expectations if lubed; the soft stock shock does not, and is the first thing worth upgrading.
  • 2025's ride-by-wire adds nothing to the maintenance load.
