Features / Distinctions for Yamaha YZF-R1:
The model is developed in such a classic way that it befits the rider largely, without letting rider feel uncomfortable or artificial with the bike. The tire wear produced as the result of lesser spin of wheel is reduced aided by traction control. The R1 keeps and maintains the technological perfection just like the last model.
- For the quick and immediate throttle response use of the wire technology is practiced.
- This bike uses the specification of variable intake system in the engine resulting in the increase in the power of the engine.
- For the provision of maximum power the fuel injection system is headed to contribute maximum blend of air/fuel.
- For the sharp handling of the bike and excellence in rigidity aluminum frames are being used.
- Like any other inline-four cylinder super sport the Yamaha YZF R1 is having the same sound.
Engine:
Cross plane Crankshaft Technology
- This technology is practiced in this model and it has proven to be the best technology of times contributing to high-technology bumpy and unbalanced firing spell.
Not Typical Design of Engine
- It involves two outer as well as two inner pistons that are attached in a way so that they move in pair with 180° spell.
These all have successfully reduced the ups and downs in inertial torque resulting in attaining deathly torque properties.
- 7th level Traction control is there, helping to give rider more traction and easy in driving too. The aluminum pistons are used so that we can be benefited in case power. The intake valves are of titanium and are light in weight. The intake efficiency is cranked up with the support of forced-air intake system this will help in excellent power exposure as well contributing to high speed range.
Variable Throttle Control:
Whenever we an input from rider there are three modes that control the response of YCC-T to that input.
In Low Mid range RPM: Mode “A” to be selected.
For Sensitive Throttle Operation: Mode “B” is to be selected.
