QUICKEN THE PULSE,

INSPIRE THE SPIRIT.

Yamahas R1 and R6 are legends of road and track,

but it isnt just because of their horsepower and

torque figures, or their use of exotic lightweight alloys.

These are machines designed specifically to lift you

to a higher plane by magnifying the physical and

emotional experience in the never-ending pursuit of

sports riding perfection.

From engine to chassis to visual architecture - the all-

new R6 and the legendary R1 continue to push the

boundaries of contemporary supersport performance

with feelgood technology. Because Yamaha

develops engineering philosophies that enhance the

communication between rider and machine in both

directions.

It is this sensory character that makes the out-and-

out performance so uplifting and satisfying. Its also

the reason you speak in an adrenalin-fuelled gibberish

right after you finish riding an R series machine.

The R1 is a ridgy-didge supersport icon there we said

it. Flat out nothing else in the category carries the same

reputation, the same kind of respect, or carries itself with

the same unique style as a Yamaha R1. The legend of

the R1 is built on a platform of incredible responsiveness

that reacts almost telepathically to rider input. And that

legend perpetuates because our engineers understand

that superbike performance is the ultimate thrill only if

its built into a package that can eat out of your hand

without biting it off.

The current short-stroke 998cc DOHC, 16-valve, liquid-

cooled inline four-cylinder engine is the most tractable

ever, and its mated to a compact chassis with the kind

of agility and steering precision you have to experience

to believe.

Thats why after five generations, the R1 is still winning

fans and winning races thanks to its ability to make

massive performance massively useable.

POWER CONTROL TECHNOLOGY

The YCC-T (Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle) electronic

throttle technology offers a 32-bit ECU fuel injection

system for super-responsive, smooth, instantaneous

power delivery. It senses the riders wrist position at

super-high speed and the ECU unit instantly calculates

the optimal throttle valve opening and actively controls

intake air speed.

SIMPLY EFFECTIVE

The YCC-I (Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake) system is the

first electronically controlled and driven variable-intake

funnel system ever fitted to a production motorcycle.

On most motorcycles the air funnel length is fixed, and

set for either high rpm performance or low-/mid-range

performance. The R1 does not need to compromise,

using simple yet clever technology to electronically switch

funnel length between 65mm and 140mm, ensuring that

the intake tracts are always tuned to the ideal length for

the prevailing rpm.

TECHNO TOP END

The combustion chamber enables big power with clean

emissions, in a 4-valve head layout that uses titanium

intake valves and high spec components resulting in a valve

train that is both lightweight and strong. It all contributes

to the R1s new breadth of power, 12.7 compression ratio

and 180PS output at 12,500rpm without ram air.

5/12

With its explosive acceleration in the over 10,000 rpm

range, scalpel-sharp throttle response, light and nimble

cornering performance and unrivalled styling, Yamahas

new R6 is a world powerhouse in super sport. Its a regular

race winner on the world s tage and it has utterly dominated

Australian Supersport racing in 2006 and 2007.

When the 2008 R6 was developed, it was with two

clear performance goals: To provide the widest grin on

that Sunday arvo blast up the mountain and to offer the

biggest buzz around the racetrack. This means faster

turn-in, greater exit speed, and sharper response and

assurance than ever before.

To achieve these goals we had to reach a new level with

engine and frame development, using cutting-edge control

technologies.

Though designed on a computer and developed in the

lab, these technologies are perfected using the emotional

tuning expertise of highly experienced riders in repeated

circuit tests, and they give the new R6 a more planted,

more confident and satisfying feel than ever before.

The result is a machine that extends both the emotional

and technical dynamics of the sensational 2007 model

a scary thought for our road racing opponents.

ITS IN THE BALANCE

Our chassis team further sweetened the R6s handling

by improving rigidity balance and mass-centralisation,

in a fully fine-tuned Deltabox chassis that sports a new

magnesium subframe. The result is a more secure feel

from the front wheel, and a more stable and confidence-

inspiring ride.

FEEL YOUR WAY

From the riders seat, youll notice these changes as

improved steering feedback that enhances stability under

brakes and makes it easier to hold a line under lean. A

more accurate entry allows a rider to get on the juice

earlier and harder on exit, translating into more distance

between the R6 and the competition.

SIX APPEAL

More fun, more exciting and faster than ever; the new

model has all those qualities that R6 aficionados love.

And the new R6 was specially designed not only to be

faster on a racetrack, but more more exciting to ride at

legal speeds through the twisties. A highly emotional

machine that responds to a riders every command and

every emotion.

BACK ER IN

Everyone can hold the throttle wide open up the

straight, its how well everything works after you close

the go-tube that will make the biggest difference to

how competitive your lap is. With the R1s slipper

clutch metering the amount of back torque, you get

outstanding control and accuracy, and blisteringly

fast corner entry.

The slipper clutch enables changes in clutch plate

pressure when torque force comes to bear on the

crank from the rear wheel, and exemplifies whatis most remarkable about the R1 engine - not only

the amount of power, but the linearity and superb

transitional characteristics of that p ower.

STIFF AND FLEXIBLE

As chassis loads continue to escalate its only

logical that the chassis itself should be a tuneable

component. Our engineers have identified specific

areas of the frame where stiffer is better, and others

where flex provides the key to good handling.

By tuning flex quotients of the main frame, rear arm

and fork, Yamaha created an optimal rigidity balancefor the new YZF-R1. As a result, chassis response to

initial steering inputs is light and responsive while

stability in high-speed turns is excellent, and overall

handling qualities simply brilliant.

Cornerstones of the R1 icon

The R1s slipper clutch provides outstanding control of engine

braking by adjusting clutch plate pressure when torque force

comes to bear on the crank from the rear wheel. Faster into the

corner means faster out.

Yamahas YCC-I variable intake is simple in its actuation, but highly

effective in its operation. A simple actuator switches the funnel

length according to engine rpm and the degree of throttle opening.

A forced air induction system increases intake efficiency by

utilising the natural air flow captured by the upper cowl to

pressurise the air box, boosting maximum power output and

contributing to the YZF-R1s outstanding acceleration.

Rear suspension has a progressive character, with compression

damping adjustment via a two-way mechanism that can be set

for low-speed and high-speed riding. The result is more effective

traction.

The YCC-T control unit features a CPU with high-speed control function capable of

reading changes in parameters at 1000th of a second. Thats high-speed control

for smooth and linear operating characteristics and faithful response to the riders

slightest actions.

To maximise grip levels and handling confidence the perfect balance of lateral and

torsional rigidity is essential, and when its right, its superb. We think youll agree,

the R1 feels right.

The R1s fracture split con rods provide extremely precise and

strong big end connections. In this method, the large end of

the rod is shock-split by means of a wedge, then rejoined along

matching contours and bolted together in assembly.

YZF-R1 employs strong, lightweight four-valve per cylinder layout

with titanium intake valves and VX alloy valve springs for high

power output.

Oblate mufflers add a stylish yet menacing embellishment to the R1s lean tail cone,

and something for your riding mates to watch.

GIVE HER MORE BERRIES

Yamahas engineers have increased torque by

raising the R6s compression ratio from 12.8:1 to

13.1:1. Plus, in addition to the YCC-T (Yamaha Chip-

Controlled Throttle) electronically controlled throttle,

the new R6 gets the YCC-I (Yamaha Chip-Controlled

Intake) variable-length intake funnels used on the R1

for broader power and high-rpm punch.

The many engine improvements include new domed

piston crowns for a more compact combustion

chamber, as well as new valve springs for even greaterdurability and reliability under the higher combustion

pressures. Crank bearings, camchain and the

camchain tensioner have also been tweaked to suit.

SHES BEEN FRAMED

Increased power and control demanded a new

chassis so Yamaha engineers set about increasing the

thickness of important areas such as the headstock

and swingarm pivots while shaving weight from other

less vital areas. By completely revising the rigidity

balance in such a fashion, the riding experience has

been elevated to further inspire confidence and to

provide superb response.

Complementing the improved power output is all-

new mapping for the dual-injector fuel injection and

ignition timing, as well as modifications to other

electronic controls.

ALL THE RIGHT BUTTONS

Testing and development of the new bike didnt just

take place in the wind tunnel and engine dyno but

also out on the test track, where Yamahas test riders

tuned the bike to push your buttons.

YZF-R6State-of-the-art technology

Based on rpm and the degree of throttle opening, YCC-I instantly

switches the air funnel length to improve cylinder filling and

therefore, output. This improves transitional power characteristics

and power feel from mid-range through to 14,500rpm.

A new-design piston with a slightly convex head shape and

shallower valve recess contributes to a higher compression ratio of

13.1 : 1 (the existing mod el is 12.8 : 1) - the highest on a Yamaha

production motorcycle.

The new crankshaft bearing is wider and stronger, and the titanium

intake/exhaust valves are acutated by uprated alloy springs of the

highest possible stress tolerance and fatigue strength. It adds up

to consistently high performance over long hours of circuit riding.

Bodywork is redesigned for a smoother airflow and to

accommodate the higher compression ratio, the shape of the

intake mouth of the air cleaner box has been redesigned to reduce

airflow resistance and improve intake efficiency.

The wall thicknesses of the head pipe and the knee-grip panel have been finely

adjusted and the cross-member between the left and right frame halves eliminated

to achieve a completely new rigidity and strength balance, further improving the

unique R6 handling.

New settings for the twin injector fuel injection system and the YCC-T (Yamaha

Chip Controlled Throttle) system provide awesome response. The system optimises

the drive torque curve and intake airflow speed so you get smooth control

characteristics.

The rigidity balance of the fork outer tubes has been adjusted

and the fork offset increased to complement the new frame while

two-way damping adjustment maximises setting options. A new

under-bracket also contributes to better front end stability.

The R6s hybrid rear arm is a new design, with ribs added inside

the cast rear portion, and the end piece changed from extruded

aluminium to a forged aluminium part in order to optimise the

rigidity balance.

The magnesium alloy rear frame is the first of its kind on a Yamaha, and achieves

a weight reduction of approximately 450g as well as an increase in mass

centralisation.
