YAMAHA MOTORCYCLE YZF-R1 2009

Key Features:
ALL NEW FOR 2009
In the supersport liter type, there’s always lots of talk about power. You expect that. What you wouldn’t have expected – until now – is a radically status way to deliver that power. Introducing the 2009 YZF-R1, the first ever production motorcycle with a crossplane crankshaft. Crossplane technology, first pioneered in MotoGP racing with the M1, puts each connecting rod 90° from the next, with an uneven firing gap of 270°- 180°- 90°- 180°. This all but eliminates undesirable inertial crankshaft torque, which allows the mechanism’s compression torque to build smoothly and provide a very linear power conveyance out of the corners. It’s a feeling that’s simply unmatched, like having two engines in one: the low-rpm torquey experience of a twin with the raw, high-rpm power of an inline 4. In fact, the new YZF-R1 is not a continuation of existing supersport expansion; it is breakthrough technology that represents a paradigm shift in both technology and engagement.
This next-generation R1 keeps all the technological superiorities developed for its predecessor: YCC-T (Yamaha Counter Controlled Throttle) is MotoGP inspired fly-by-wire technology tempered to to deliver instant throttle response. YCC-I is Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake which is a mutable intake system that broadens the spread of power. The fuel injection system provides finest air/fuel mixtures for maximum power and smooth throttle reply.
The R1 features Yamaha D-MODE (or drive mode) with rider-selectable throttle control maps to program YCC-T conduct characteristics for riding conditions. The standard map is designed for optimum inclusive performance. The “A” mode lets...
