FEATURES: Ultra-compact. lightweight. 600cc. DOHC. 16-valve. liquid-cooled. in-line four-cylinder engine puts out over 200 horsepower per litre! Specially designed. one-piece cylinder and upper crankcase assembly provides superior engine rigidity and reduces weight. Ceramic plated sleeveless cylinder bores provide greater heat dissipation for consistent power delivery and reduced frictional power loss. Sleeveless design also reduces weight. Lightweight forged pistons feature carburized connecting rods for superb strength and reduced reciprocating mass. The result is incredible engine response. Hollow side-driven camshafts with specially designed valve lifters helps create a very narrow engine width. Competition-bred suction-piston throttle body fuel injection with 40mm throttle bodies features short intake ports and a special vacuum-controlled intake system to ensure instant seamless throttle response all the way up to the incredible 15. 00-rpm redline. Ram Air Induction System delivers cool. high-pressure air "force-fed" into the intake tract for optimal combustion and greater horsepower at higher speeds. Close-ratio 6-speed transmission delivers seamless power delivery and maximum acceleration. Gear widths. splines and engagement dogs are optimized for smooth shifting under power. "Tri-Axis" or stacked transmission design creates a more compact engine front to back that allows for optimum engine placement in the frame for optimized balanced weight distribution and incredible handling. Heavy-duty. large-capacity clutch ensures consistent. fade-free performance. High capacity cooling system features a curved radiator with dual ring-type fans for excellent engine cooling efficiency. The ring-type fan offers more airflow than a conventional non-ring type fan. High capacity water pump and separate liquid-cooled oil cooler ensures consistent engine temperatures for maximum performance. Direct ignition coils. iridium spark plugs and high-output magneto deliver reliable. super strong spark. With this system. the ignition coils are integrated into the plug caps. significantly reducing weight. 4-into-2-into-1 exhaust optimizes engine performance. and features a mix of stainless steel. titanium and aluminum to reduce overall weight. High powered 32 bit ECU (electronic control unit) with computer perfected mapping provides ultra precise ignition timing for maximum response and power output. Immobilizer ignition system is designed to reduce the possibility of ride away theft. This system must recognize the "coded ignition key" in order for the unit to start. If the immobilizer ignition does not recognize the key (or a theft's screwdriver or other type of "jimmy tool") the bike will not start even if the ignition is turned or forced into the on position. If the system does not recognize the correct coded ignition key. the ignition system and starter will not function. and as a result. the unit will not start. Radical. lightweight aluminum Deltabox III frame offers the perfect rigidity balance. The result is incredible handling response. The engine is a fully stressed chassis member allowing for a super-light frame design. Key chassis geometry figures include: 1385mm wheelbase. 24. 5 degree caster angle and 95mm of trail. Yamaha's exclusive Controlled Filling Die Casting (CF casting) is used to produce an incredibly sleek swingarm that is remarkably strong and light by pinpointing exactly where material needs to be. Pivot position and swingarm length (576mm) are optimized for even greater traction. Removable aluminum rear subframe uses CF casting technology to provide lighter weight and fewer welds as well. Fully adjustable 43mm Kayaba cartridge-style front fork provides 120 mm (4. 7") of wheel travel and offers incredible suspension performance with ultra-precise feedback. Adjustments include; 8 positions of spring preload. 9-way compression damping and 10-way rebound damping. Fully adjustable Monocross link rear suspension utilizes a piggyback-style shock providing 120mm (4. 7") of wheel travel. Adjustments include: 9 positions of spring preload. 20-way compression damping and 15-way rebound damping. The piggy back design helps to keep the shock oil cool for more consistent damping. 4-piston calipers squeeze large 298mm dual front discs for great braking performance with excellent control and good lever feedback. Brembo radial pump master cylinder is a direct GP race innovation. The radial design allows for more powerful braking and improved lever feedback. The lever is adjustable for various hand sizes.
