ENGINE

• 1298cc, DOHC, 16-valve (4/cyl), liquid-cooled inline-four engine delivers serious power & torque
  • plenty of torque over a wide RPM range … 14.1kg-m (102 ft-lb) @ 7,000 rpm
  • low 9,000 rpm red line for incredible reliability & service life (ask somebody who owns one !)
  • engine meets or exceeds Europe’s EU-4 emission regulations
• 4-valve cylinder head design.
  • compact combustion chambers with 10.8 compression ratio
  • 30mm intake & 26mm exhaust valves
  • exhaust valves feature carburized tips for durability (carburizing is a heat treating process that improves strength & durability)
  • 4-valve design optimizes breathing efficiency & overall engine performance
  • valve adjustment interval is 42,000 kms
• One-piece cylinder & upper crankcase assembly.
  • excellent engine rigidity (engine is a stressed member of the chassis)
  • lighter & more rigid than two-piece designs

  

• High lift intake & exhaust cams.
  • side-driven double-overhead camshafts
  • outstanding low to mid rpm torque & horsepower
  • effortless sport touring with great passing power
• “Liner-less” ceramic composite plated cylinder bores.
  • ceramic coating sprayed directly on the aluminum block
  • eliminates the heavy liners & reduces weight
  • excellent heat dissipation for consistent power delivery
  • coating enhances the thin film of oil between the cylinders & pistons, reducing friction & increasing power
• High performance, short skirt, forged aluminum pistons.
  • light weight for fast throttle response
  • reduced reciprocating mass lessens mechanical vibration
• Low- vibration crankshaft.
  • carburized connecting rods for excellent strength & durability
• Dual axis gear-driven secondary counter balancer.
  • reduces engine vibration for enhanced rider & passenger comfort
• Automatic cam chain tensioner.
  • reduces both maintenance & engine mechanical noise
• Maintenance-free transistor controlled ignition (TCI).
  • produces a strong spark for fast starts
  • provides precise ignition timing / mapping for optimum engine performance at all rpms
• High performance direct ignition coils.
  • ignition coil is built directly into the spark plug cap
  • significant weight reduction

  

• Yamaha Chip Control Throttle (YCC-T).
  • YCC-T electronically controls throttle valves for outstanding throttle response & controllability
  • YCC-T system provides precise control of intake air volume for a smoother torque curve
  • ECU that controls YCC-T is capable of responding to changes at a speed of 1000th of a second
• Yamaha D-Mode variable throttle control … 2 modes available.
  • works in conjunction with the YCC-T system
  • enables the rider to adjust the performance characteristics of the engine based on riding preferences or riding conditions
  • S-Mode allows the rider to enjoy full engine performance & power
  • T-Mode slows throttle response for situations that require softer power characteristics, such as slippery or wet conditions
  • “T-Mode” is well suited for more relaxed touring & reduces fuel consumption
• Traction control system
  • works in conjunction with the YCC-T system
  • utilizes front & rear wheel sensors (same sensors as ABS system)
  • system senses when the rear wheel begins to spin & modifies the YCC-T function, ignition timing & fuel injection to reduce power and eliminate wheel spin
  • traction control helps maintain traction when accelerating on slippery surfaces
  • system is automatically engaged when the ignition is on … can be turned off if desired

  

• Electronic cruise control system.
  • also part of the YCC-T family of functions
  • “settable range” is from 50 to 160 km/hr & transmission must be in 3rd gear or higher
  • cruise control can be cancelled by activating front or rear brakes, pulling in the clutch, completely closing the throttle grip or using the activation button
  • control buttons are located on the L.H.S. handlebar switch gear
• Closed loop Mikuni, 42mm, throttle body fuel injection system.
  • crisp, seamless throttle response regardless of weather or altitude
  • system uses throttle position sensor (TPS)
  • 4-hole Denso injectors
  • “closed loop system” uses a heated oxygen sensor to “sniff” spent exhaust & automatically adjust the fuel / air ratio for reduced emissions
  • heated oxygen sensor provides precise fuel – air ratio information, especially at lower engine temperatures
  • fuel injection benefits include choke-free starting, steady idling during warm up, excellent fuel economy & reduced emissions
• Viscous paper-type air filter.
• Compact engine uses a stacked “Tri-Axis” design.
  • stacked design reduces engine length & centralizes mass
  • design allows the engineers to place the engine in the “sweet spot” of the frame
  • optimized front & rear weight distribution for excellent handling characteristics
