2007 Yamaha YZF-R6, 2015 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 middleweight 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.Straight frame concept: developed from the Yamaha M1 GP machine, the YZF-R6 s steering head, swingarm pivot and rear axle all lie in a straight line for unsurpassed handling with an inline four- cylinder engine designed for optimal layout and mass centralization.Slipper-type back torque-limiting clutch greatly facilitates braking/down shifting from high speed.Formula 1-style air management presents very small frontal area for excellent aerodynamics; ram-air induction ducts cool, high-pressure air through the steering head for optimal combustion, more horsepower and enhanced engine cooling.The YZF-R6 is the AMA Supersport Champion in its rookie season. Features & Benefits Engine Compact, lightweight 67 x 42.5mm 599cc DOHC 16-valve liquid- cooled inline four-cylinder features titanium valves, 12.8:1 compression and compact combustion chambers for awesome, lightning-quick response.YCC-T (Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle) 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.Back torque-limiting slipper clutch greatly facilitates braking and downshifting from high speed. Close-ratio six-speed transmission delivers seamless power and maximum acceleration.Despite the increased bore, piston and pin weight has been reduced for more power and smoothness; 1mm smaller main journals reduce friction while 1mm larger connecting rod journals increase performance.Compact slant-block engine design uses widely triangulated gearbox shafts to make the GP-derived, straight frame concept work; optimum weight distribution and excellent handling are the result.GP-style titanium muffler contributes to mass centralization, and contains EXUP, and an O2 sensor and catalyzers for a broad powerband and spot-on injection.Linerless, direct-plated ceramic-composite cylinder bores mean greater heat dissipation for consistent power delivery and reduced friction also a narrow engine.Cool magnesium valve and engine covers are light and stylish. Curved radiator with twin-ring cooling fans keeps everything cool.Direct ignition coils, dual-electrode spark plugs and high-output magneto deliver extremely accurate, reliable firing.

2005 Yamaha YZF R6, On the surface, the changes to the 2005 model-a new fork, front brakes and revised engine tuning-don t seem highly significant, and we were unsure how much difference we would feel when MCUSA was invited to sample the revised screamer on an introductory street ride in Southern California last week. Turns out our 2003-04 Supersport shootout winner has taken a small leap forward. Changes to the motor are limited to a revised intake along with altered injection mapping and ignition timing. The fuel-injection s throttle bodies go up in size from 38mm to 40mm for more top-end power. The intake snorkels are not only larger in diameter to match the bigger injector bodies, but they also employ an old racing trick in which the outer two snorkels are nearly half the height of the inner pair, theoretically increasing both midrange and top-end power. Yamaha claims a more linear power curve and a gain of 3 hp at 13,000 rpm.
2016 Yamaha YZF-R6, 2016 Yamaha YZF-R6 MOTO AMERICA RACING CHAMPION The R6 is without a doubt the most dominant 600cc sportbike with championship runs in both Supersport and Superstock in 2015. Features may include: The Ultimate 600cc Supersport Platform Light, powerful, and equipped with the features and technology gained from winning multiple Supersport racing championships, the YZF-R6 is the most advanced production 600cc motorcycle Yamaha or anybody else has ever built. Advanced Ride-by-Wire Control The YZF-R6 was the first production motorcycle with YCC-T®, Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle system, for flawless response under all conditions. Variable Length Intake System YCC-I®, Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake, is used on the R6 to vary intake tract length for excellent cylinder filling and a broader powerband. Racing-derived Slipper Clutch and Transmission Back torque-limiting slipper-type clutch greatly facilitates braking/downshifting from high speed. Close-ratio 6-speed transmission delivers seamless power and maximum acceleration. Legendary Racetrack Success The Yamaha YZF-R6 has won more AMA middleweight races and championships than any other 600cc sportbike.
