Yamaha MT 09 Insurance

Before you get your Yamaha bike insurance online, gather some basic knowledge about two-wheeler insurance.

A two-wheeler insurance policy is an agreement between a vehicle owner and the insurance provider where the insurer promises to compensate for the losses arising out of third-party damages or own damages. In return, the vehicle owner has to pay premiums regularly.

You can choose from the following types of two-wheeler insurance policies:

Third-Party Liability Cover

The most basic two-wheeler insurance policy is a third-party liability cover, which is mandatory as per the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988. Third-party motor insurance covers legal and financial liabilities arising out of third-party injuries/death or property damages. It means you can avail of compensation in case you injure a third party or damage his/her property.

However, this type of policy fails to offer respite for your bike damages or injuries. Hence, expensive and reliable bikes like MT 09 need more than third-party bike insurance.

Standalone Own-Damage Cover

Another two-wheeler insurance is own-damage cover where you can avail of compensation for your losses too. This policy covers damages caused due to accidents, vandalism, riots, theft, fire and explosion and damages beyond repair. However, an own-damage policy does not cover third-party damages, damages due to driving while drunk or without a licence, or mechanical and electrical breakdowns.

Comprehensive Insurance

Among all three, only the comprehensive two-wheeler insurance policy can have the bundled benefits of both third-party insurance and standalone OD coverage. It provides extensive coverage for your two-wheeler from several damages due to accidents, natural disasters, riots, strikes, vandalism, theft, and much more. While the policy covers financial and legal liabilities arising out of third-party injuries or damages, it also includes a Personal Accident Cover up to ₹15 Lakhs. If your bike is stolen or damaged beyond repair, the insurance provider will reimburse the loss based on the bike’s IDV (Insured Declared Value).

The Yamaha MT 09 insurance price depends on its Insured Declared Value (IDV). IDV is the current value of the bike based on which the insurance company pays you if it is stolen or damaged beyond repair. Here is a table showing how IDV is calculated after considering the depreciation of your bike over the years.

While calculating the IDV of your MT 09, Tata AIG considers several factors like its make and model, its age, rider’s age, registration city, type of use and fuel, cubic capacity, etc.

Now that you know what IDV is, you must also get a quote for your Yamaha bike insurance before buying one. With Tata AIG’s online two-wheeler insurance premium calculator, you can know the MT 09 insurance price, compare policies online and buy the most affordable plan. You can also visit a local dealer to know your MT 09 IDV.

Note: Prices of third-party bike insurance are based on IRDAI guidelines that are standardised according to the bike’s engine cubic capacity.

Considering the expensive accessories and rising crimes, comprehensive insurance may not suffice for bikes like MT 09. Hence, Tata AIG has designed add-on covers that ensure complete protection of your prized possession. The unique add-on covers include:

• No Claim Bonus Protection

• Zero Depreciation Cover

• Additional Third-Party Damage Cover

[Note: Tata AIG believes in transparency and helps its customers make informed decisions. So, you must know that each add-on cover comes with additional costs and raises the bike insurance premium. So, before adding the riders, you should evaluate your bike’s needs. ]

Delivering raw and intimidating torque, the Yamaha “Master of Torque” series has been quite successful in the market. Talking about the mesmerising looks of this high-end bike, the twin headlight unit, massive tank shrouds and light fins on the radiator are nicely crafted. The die-cast aluminium frame provides rigidity and stiffness to the bike while ensuring it is lighter to manoeuvre.

The KYB suspension provides the much-needed handling and chassis which is completely adjustable. The settings are suitable for both sporting and comfortable rides on highways. On the other hand, the six-speed gearbox comes with a Quick Shift System (QSS) and a slipper clutch that avoids loss of torque while taking sharp turns.

Not only this the multi-mode traction control and dual-channel ABS allow controlling the power delivery features of the engine and provide greater stability at higher speeds. The ABS works in tandem with the hardware and allows you to ride the bike with confidence in all road conditions.

The all-new MT 09 now has a seat slightly angled forward with new tapered handlebars to offer a relaxed riding position. Moreover, the handlebars and foot pegs are completely adjustable to several positions helping you to find the perfect riding position.
