2009 Yamaha YZF-R6, 2009 Yamaha YZF-R6 Key Features: Light, powerful and bristling with knowledge gained from years of racing, the YZF R6 is the most advanced production 600cc motorcycle Yamaha - or anybody else - has ever built.The YZF-R6 was the first production motorcycle with a fly-by-wire throttle system for flawless response under all conditions.YCC-I, Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake, is used on the R6 to vary intake tract length for excellent cylinder filling and a broader powerband. On the higher revving R6, its benefits are even more pronounced.Slipper-type back torque-limiting clutch greatly facilitates braking/downshifting from high speed.The YZF-R6 achieves fuel economy up to an estimated 40 mpg** with a fuel tank that holds 4.6 gallons of gas. Features & Benefits New For 2009The Engine Control Unit (ECU) has remapped YCC-T settings to optimize power output in each gear, to achieve smooth, linear power delivery out of the turn, with excellent overall drivability.Engine:Compact, lightweight 67 x 42.5mm 599cc DOHC 16-valveliquid-cooled titanium-valved four-cylinder has a compression ratio of 13.1:1, for great response. Domed pistons with valve cutouts produce a compact combustion chamber.Fuel injection mapping for the YCC-T Yamaha Chip ControlledThrottle dual-injector system complements the high compression ratio for great throttle response and reduced engine braking.YCC-I Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake electronically variesintake funnel length for an amazinglyf broad, smooth powerband.A magnesium subframe removes weight from the rear of themotorcycle for increased mass centralization.YCC-T uses a powerful ECU and multiple sensors to provide perfect, smooth engine response and optimal power whenever the throttle is twisted under all conditions.Twin-injector fuel injection: shower-type injectors above each intake funnel help achieve optimum fuel atomization at high rpm.Slipper-type back torque-limiting clutch greatly facilitates braking and downshifting from high speed. Close-ratio six-speed transmission delivers seamless power and maximum acceleration. GP-style titanium muffler contributes to mass centralization and contains EXUP® for a broad powerband, spot-on injection and emissions compliance.Linerless, direct-plated ceramic-composite cylinder boresmean greater heat dissipation for consistent power delivery and reduced friction.Cool magnesium valve and engine covers are light and stylish.Direct-ignition coils, dual-electrode spark plugs and high-output magneto deliver extremely accurate, reliable firing.Chassis/Suspension:Deltabox aluminum frame incorporates GP thinking in terms of engine positioning and rigidity for the ultimate in 600-class handling.A die-cast swingarm pivots high in the frame, for increased antisquat effect and mid-corne
2011 Yamaha YZF-R6, 2011 Yamaha YZF-R6 Key Features May Include Light, powerful, and bristling with knowledge gained from years of racing, the YZF-R6 is the most advanced production 600cc motorcycle Yamaha, or anybody else, has ever built. The YZF-R6 was the first production motorcycle with a fly-by-wire throttle system for flawless response under all conditions. YCC-I®, Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake, is used on the R6 to vary intake tract length for excellent cylinder filling and a broader powerband. On the higher-revving R6, its benefits are even more pronounced. Back torque-limiting slipper-type clutch greatly facilitates braking/downshifting from high speed. Close-ratio 6-speed transmission delivers seamless power and maximum acceleration. Features & Benefits Engine Compact, lightweight 67mm x 42.5mm, 599cc DOHC 16-valve,liquid- cooled titanium-valved four-cylinder has a compressionratio of 13.1:1, for great response. Domed pistons with valve cutouts produce a compact combustion chamber. Fuel injection mapping for the YCC-T Yamaha Chip ControlledThrottle dual-injector system complements the high compression ratio for great throttle response and reduced engine braking. YCC-I Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake electronically varies intake tract length for a broader powerband. A magnesium subframe removes weight from the rear of the motorcycle for increased mass centralization. YCC-T uses a powerful ECU and multiple sensors to provide perfect, smooth engine response and optimal power whenever the throttle is twisted under all conditions. Twin-injector fuel injection: shower-type injectors above each intake funnel help achieve optimum fuel atomization at high rpm. Slipper-type back torque-limiting clutch greatly facilitates braking and down shifting from high speed. Close-ratiosix-speed transmission delivers seamless power and maximum acceleration. GP-style titanium muffler contributes to mass centralization and contains EXUP® for a broad powerband, and 02 sensor for spot- on injection and emissions compliance. Linerless, direct-plated ceramic-composite cylinder bores mean greater heat dissipation for consistent power delivery and reduced friction. Cool magnesium valve and engine covers are light and stylish. Direct-ignition coils, dual-electrode spark plugs and high- output magneto deliver extremely accurate, reliable firing. Chassis/Suspension Deltabox® aluminum frame incorporates GP thinking interms of engine positioning and rigidity for the ultimatein 600-class handling. The light weight swingarm pivots high in the frame, for increased anti- squat effect and mid-corner stability. TZ-type chain adjusters ease rear tire changes. Four-way adjustable (preload, high-speed compression, low-speed compression and rebound damping) inver
