Light, powerful and packed with trickle-down MotoGP technology, the YZF-R1 is the most advanced Open-class production motorcycle ever built.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The YZF-R1 uses the YCC-T fly-by-wire throttle system for flawless response under all conditions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Inline four-cylinder engine is the most powerful, tractable R1 powerplant ever, thanks partially to the world’s first electronic variable-length intake funnel system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Slipper-type back torque-limiting clutch greatly facilitates braking/downshifting from high speed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Aluminum Deltabox frame and swingarm take open-class handling to the next performance level.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Six-piston radial-mount front brake calipers and 310 mm discs generate the kind of braking power a bike like the R1 requires.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Short-stroke 998 cc DOHC, 16-valve, liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder engine produces more tractable power than ever.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yamaha Chip Control Throttle controls a 32-bit ECU fuel injection system for super-responsive, smooth, instantaneous power delivery.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yamaha Chip Control Intake electronically adjusts intake funnel length between either 65 or 140 mm for an amazingly broad, smooth powerband.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Two-piece ergonomically designed fuel tank carries fuel in the rear section, for good centralization of mass, while the front half contains a Ram-Air-fed airbox for increased power.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lay-down-design cylinder head optimizes weight distribution, straightens intake tracts for improved cylinder filling and allows frame to pass over instead of around the engine for great strength and a narrow chassis.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Closed-deck cylinder block increases strength and allows a narrow engine in spite of big, 77 mm bores.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Narrow-angle four-valve combustion chambers produce a highly efficient 12.7:1 compression ratio; 31 mm titanium intake valves and 25 mm exhausts controlled by new, high-lift cams flow plenty of air.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Light and strong nutless connecting rods with fractured big ends produce a quick-revving engine with excellent high-rpm durability.
|
|
|
|
|
|
High silicon-content ceramic-composite cylinder sleeves ensure great heat dissipation for consistent power delivery and reduced friction.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Close-ratio six-speed gearbox with triangulated shaft layout for great strength, compactness, and quicker acceleration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ramp-type slipper clutch makes braking from speed into tight corners while downshifting smoother and therefore faster.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Titanium underseat exhaust system (with stainless steel midpipe and catalyst) provides excellent cornering clearance and a broad, seamless powerband.
|
|
|
|
|
|
13 percent greater radiator capacity and an aluminum liquid-cooled oil cooler maintain stable operating temperature.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Direct ignition coils, dual-electrode spark plugs and high-output magneto deliver extremely accurate, reliable firing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
AC generator behind cylinder block produces a narrow engine with excellent cornering clearance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A Deltabox frame tuned for optimal flex carries the lay-down four-cylinder stressed-member style for great handling and efficient aerodynamic penetration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A truss-type swingarm is extremely strong and tuned for optimal traction and feedback.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dual 310 mm front disc brakes; new, six-piston radial-mount calipers and Brembo radial-pump front master cylinder with adjustable lever deliver amazing braking power and feel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fully adjustable KYB inverted telescopic front fork with 43 mm tubes has been revalved to complement other chassis changes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Piggyback rear shock now offers both high- and low-speed compression adjustability, rebound damping and a new, twist-style spring preload adjuster.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Light, five-spoke wheels enhance acceleration, deceleration, handling and suspension action.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cool headlights provide great illumination and distinctive style, while the LED taillight is light, bright and highly efficient.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Adjustable LCD illumination and multifunction digital gauges: adjustable shift light, odometer, dual tripmeters, water temperature, air temperature, full-time clock, lap timer and large 15,000-rpm analog tachometer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A fairing with big Ram-Air intakes and screwless windscreen provides maximum aerodynamic efficiency and engine performance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sticky 120/70-ZR17 and 190/50-ZR17 radial tires for incredible grip and precise handling.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Forged footpegs are extra durable and light.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Extensive use of hollow bolts and lightweight fasteners helps trim overall weight.
|
|
|
|
|
|
8.6 AH battery is compact and light.
