About the Yamaha MT-03

Overview

The Yamaha MT-03 is a sports naked motorcycle from Yamaha. It was launched in 2023 and has since been discontinued (production ended around 2026). Mechiee still services it at your doorstep. Naked and roadster bikes pair a lively engine with an upright riding position and little or no fairing, which makes them easy to live with every day. With a 321 cc engine it sits in the 250–450 cc class.

Engine and performance

Power comes from a 321 cc twin-cylinder liquid-cooled fuel-injected engine that makes 42 PS at 10,750 rpm and 29.5 Nm of torque at 9,000 rpm. Peak torque comes high up, at 9,000 rpm, so it rewards revving. Its bore is wider than its stroke (68 mm x 44.1 mm), a short-stroke layout that generally favours higher revs. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 251 PS per tonne; by that measure, it is genuinely fast, well beyond everyday traffic speeds. The claimed top speed is 170 km/h. It has electric start.

Gearbox

It has a 6-speed manual gearbox with a 1-down, 5-up shift pattern, and a chain carries drive to the rear wheel. It uses a wet multi-plate clutch.

Chassis, brakes and tyres

It is built around a diamond frame. Suspension is by telescopic upside down forks (USD Forks), 37 mm inner tube at the front and swingarm at the rear. Braking is by a 298 mm disc at the front and a 220 mm disc at the rear, with dual-channel ABS. ABS on both wheels keeps either tyre from locking under hard braking. It rides on 17-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres — 110/70-17 at the front and 140/70-17 at the rear.

Size, comfort and range

The seat is 780 mm off the ground, which is about average and suits most riders. It weighs 167 kg ready to ride. Ground clearance is 160 mm — enough for most speed breakers. It is 2,090 mm long, with 1,380 mm between the axles. It carries 14 L of fuel.

Features and equipment

Equipment includes a digital instrument console, an LED headlamp, gear position indicator, daytime running lamps, real-time mileage indicator and service due indicator. Safety equipment includes engine kill switch, hazard light switch, low fuel indicator and malfunction indicator.

Owning one

The manufacturer's warranty is 2 years or 30,000 km. For the Yamaha MT-03, Mechiee offers a fixed ₹2,199 doorstep service.

Who it suits

It is best suited to riders who want performance with an upright, everyday-friendly posture. Its low seat also makes it approachable for shorter and newer riders. With this much performance, it is better as a step-up bike than a first bike.

Care notes for this model

Its chain drive needs regular cleaning, lubrication and slack adjustment.

Maintaining the Yamaha MT-03

  • Routine servicing

    Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.

  • Engine oil & filter

    Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.

  • Brake inspection

    With Disc, 298 mm and Disc, 220 mm brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.

  • Chain cleaning & lubrication

    A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.

  • Coolant & cooling system

    A liquid-cooled engine relies on coolant. Check the level and look over hoses and the radiator for leaks or damage, and replace coolant as the owner's manual directs.

  • Air filter & spark plug

    A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.

  • Disc brake fluid

    Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point. Have its level and condition checked and change it on the interval in the owner's manual.

  • Tyre inspection

    This bike runs 110/70-17 / 140/70-17 tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.

  • Battery & electricals

    The battery is listed as 12 V, 7.0 Ah. Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.

Yamaha MT-03 specs explained

What the technical terms on this page mean.

ABS
Anti-lock braking system. It stops a wheel locking up during hard braking so the rider can keep steering. A single-channel system works on one wheel, usually the front; a dual-channel system works on both.
OHC / SOHC / DOHC
How the engine's valves are operated. OHC and SOHC mean one overhead camshaft; DOHC means two, which usually allows higher revs and more power from the same size.
Fuel injection
Petrol is delivered by an electronically controlled injector instead of a carburettor, which helps with easy starting and steady fuel economy.
Liquid cooling
Coolant circulates through the engine and a radiator, keeping temperatures steadier than air alone, especially in traffic or under load.
Upside-down fork
A front fork mounted the opposite way round to a conventional one, with the thicker tubes at the top. It is typically stiffer under braking and cornering.
Tubeless tyres
Tyres with no inner tube. A small puncture usually loses air slowly, which makes roadside repair easier.
Kerb weight
The weight of the bike ready to ride, with its fluids and fuel, but without a rider or luggage.
Bore x stroke
The cylinder's width and the piston's travel. A larger bore relative to stroke tends to favour revs; a longer stroke tends to favour low-speed pull.
Compression ratio
How much the fuel-air mixture is squeezed before it is ignited. It is one of the factors behind an engine's efficiency and power.
