Slow speed riding - not the easiest on the MT10

Mt 2019 MT10 lugs at low speeds too.  It hard to resist taking the center and going slow between cars and stay behind someone.   The engine temps also get so hot.  I saw 220* on a 708 day and when cursing over 50-60 it drops down to 160*. 

In reference to the temp's you saw - yeah - that's normal.  It cools down quickly once you upshift and get your speed back up.

1st Post.

I have a 2019 MT-10, Hindle 3/4 system, 2WDW flash. This thing rides so easy at low and slow for me. I have only one other bike that beats it at low and slow and that is a Z125.

I do have an FZ1 and a Road Glide, the MT-10 is WAY easier to handle at low speed.

Yes I have that same problem, I had the ecu flashed and still hesitating when letting out clutch riding in 1st around 2000

aavmann,What you need is a Boosterplug,my other bike is a tracer 900 and they both hunt and surge at slow speeds,the mt10 being much worse,then i got a used boosterplug for the tracer[no brainer as they have a lifetime warranty] it takes 10 mins to fit,all bikes run really lean low down because of the emissions and the yamahas seem to suffer more than some.The boosterplug fools the ECU into thinking it's 20 degrees cooler ambient temp so the ecu compensates by making it richer in the lower revs,how it was supposed to run,and as a result my tracer is basically cured it runs so smooth low down no jerkiness or hesitation,can't wait to get one for my mt10 but no funds at the minute.They are £130 so about $170.Also pull the clutch lever in and out several times as its warming up with the gearbox being high up it takes a while for the oil to get into the plates,that will help with the stalling and clunking in first gear.

Honda is introducing the "E-clutch" 2024 starting I think on their CB650?  But later offering on larger models also.  The E-clutch is totally separate technology compared to various things like dual clutch or CV transmission or recluse clutches etc instead the E clutch uses totally same ol clutch and transmission as before with ONE difference!  There is a robotic component using two tiny electric motors along with a mechanism that allows the ECU to disengage the clutch FOR YOU!  Meaning when the E-Clutch is turned on the rider NEVER has to touch his/her clutch lever!  Even starting and stopping!  The ECU monitors both wheel speed and engine rpm AND whether your toe is putting tension on the shift lever and ALWAYS has your back for employing the clutch!  How cool is THAT!  With spot on programming it SHOULD make slow speed work a breeze also because remember it is monitoring wheel speed and rpm so it "knows" when to slip the clutch to keep the bike from stalling!   Last year I basically lost the end of my left middle finger between the last two joints and a hand surgeon sewed it all back on...but now I find the MT-10 clutch very hard to pull as well as painful after much clutching.   But I still want a Liter bike so WHEN Honda finally puts the EClutch on their I4 liter bikes?  I will be VERY interesting in trading the 10 in....yeah I know I will lose a few HP in the trade but at least the Honda has better MPG!  AND since it is lower compression?  no more premium!  Which I mean as we all know here the FZ/ MT (EMPTY) are SUCH  gas hogs!  And besides do I REALLY need 165hp?  I think 150 will probably suffice... Only thing I hate about the current naked Honda is it has fork mounted headlight rather than the superior Yamaha design where headlight and display is FRAME mounted
