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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The manufacturer's warranty is 2 years or 30,000 km. For the Yamaha MT-03, Mechiee offers a fixed ₹2,199 doorstep service.
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.
Its chain drive needs regular cleaning, lubrication and slack adjustment.
