The closest thing to the all-time multi-championship is winning MotoGP YZR-M1 – and ultra-fast performance to the top. Following is the full review and specifications of the YZF-R1M Yamaha 2019 Super Sports Bike.
YZF-R1M Yamaha 2019 Super Sports Bike – Features and Price
Key Features
The YZF-R1M has a light and compact transverse crankshaft, a four-cylinder, 998cc high-performance engine. Titanium’s cross-section connecting rods, offset cylinder block, and magnesium coatings give the driver an extremely high horsepower and strong linear torque impulse for an excellent performance.
The YZF-R1M Yamaha 2019 Super Sports Bike features the most advanced set of electronics ever offered on a supersport machine, with a full set of interconnected technologies. It allows the rider to enjoy the full set performance with greater comfort, control, and ease of operation than ever before. The advanced aluminum Deltabox frame uses the engine as a vital part of the chassis and aims to ensure an optimal balance of longitudinal.
The YZF-R1M features Ohlin’s Electronic Racing Suspension (ERS), a carbon-fiber body, and a GPS communication control unit (CCU). That allows the rider to capture driving data and then download it to the Yamaha Y-TRAC via Wi-Fi and a tablet application. Once the data has been downloaded, the rider can analyze the GPS map directly on the map. Configuration changes can then be made via the YRC Setting application and re-uploaded to R1M.
The Yamaha YZF-R1M pioneered the use of the first six-axis inertial measurement device (IMU) ever offered for a street motorcycle. The new IMU consists of a gyro sensor that measures pitch, roll, and direction, and an accelerometer that measures acceleration front-to-back, up, and down to the left. When calculating each signal, the IMU finds the exact location and movement of the vehicle and transmits it to the ECU, allowing it to control the bicycle systems.
The YZF-R1M is fully equipped with bank-sensitive traction control and integrated ABS, as well as slide control, start control, and more. The quick-change system offers both up- and down-shifting, automatically adjusting the engine speed for quick clutch-free displacement in both directions when down. The wheel lift control system intervenes smoothly to move forward to the maximum.
Engine
The 998cc linear 4-cylinder crankshaft engine has titanium fracture-split connecting rods, which are the first for a motorcycle used in production. The titanium alloy used to make the connecting rods is about 60% lighter than steel. This weight reduction provides the R1M engine a sympathetic and robust character at high revs. This stunning motor delivers extremely high horsepower and strong linear torque.
The 6-speed transmission has a close-up transmission that is best suited for a rotating engine. The transfer also “stacks” the input/output shafts to centralize the mass and keep the overall size of the motor shorter from front to rear. Optimize the placement of the engine in the frame for outstanding weight balance.
Advanced flap-to-shoulder activation uses the arm lever ratio to allow for more significant valve lift while using its lower cam lobes and reduced spring pressure, further increasing force. To also reduce weight, the engine uses lightweight magnesium coatings and ultra-lightweight aluminum mounts.
The YZF-R1M Yamaha 2019 Super Sports Bike is equipped with an exhaust system made mainly of light titanium. The compact, medium-sized muffler also concentrates weight as low as possible and as close to the center of the machine as possible. The Yamaha Auxiliary and Slip Clutch are used to give the rider a more secure drop when aggressively entering corners while running smoothly with the R1M’s high-power four- to four-engine torque.
Electronics
The new Yamaha Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) uses six dimensions: a gyro sensor that measures pitch, roll, and direction. An accelerometer that measures acceleration front-to-back, up and down, and right-to-left speed 125 calculations per second. The new IMU communicates with the ECU, which activates Yamaha’s driving control (YRC) technologies. YRC technologies are power mode, traction control system, slip control system, start control system, forklift control system, and quick-change system with a quick adjustment. All of these systems are adjustable and can be stored in the YRC system using four presets.
Another feature that takes electronic control to the next level exclusively for the R1M is Yamaha’s unique communications control unit. The on-board system consists of a CCU and a GPS antenna. Current data can be saved using a data logger, GPS-managed track mapping, and automatic lap timing. This data can then easily be downloaded wirelessly to an Android or Apple iOS application where it can be analyzed. This Yamaha exclusive Y-TRAC system connects to a machine never before seen in factory racing wells.
The Yamaha Chip-Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) system detects the rider’s smallest gas inlet and instantly calculates the ideal throttle opening. Then activates the gas valves to control the intake volume actively. The R1M also contains YCC-I (Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake), a variable intake system that expands power distribution throughout the rev range. Power Supply Mode (PWR) allows the operator to choose from four settings for the throttle-valve response to best suit their preferences and riding conditions.
The R1M’s Traction Control System TCS; reduces rear-wheel rotation when exiting corners by calculating wheel speed differences and non-tilt ratio. As the lean angle increases, the volume of the intervention also increases. Ten separate devices (outdoor and 1-9) allow the rider to select the required steering level. The Yamaha Slip Control System SCS; is the first of its kind on motorcycles and comes directly from the YZR-M1 MotoGP. It works with the IMU. The driver can also adjust it with four settings (1-3 and off).
The R1M’s Truck Control System LIF; has a progressive mapping to improve progress as the system intervenes. As before, the IMU detects the chassis step speed, and the ECU monitors engine power to reduce the front wheel lift during acceleration using four tunings (1-3 on and off). The R1M Start Control System LCS; limits engine speed to 10,000 even with the accelerator pedal open. It maintains optimum engine output with TCS and LIF system inputs to maximize acceleration from standstill.
The YZF-R1M’s Quick Shift System QSS; has a downshift function and allows clutchless shifting at full speed. In the case of a reduction, the ECU corresponds to the engine speed at each contraction. So that the change of gear takes place instantly and the chassis is minimally disturbed. QSS can be adjusted to have three settings (1-2 on and off), as well as the essential down function on and off.
The YZF-R1M Yamaha 2019 Super Sports Bike features an ingenious color thin-film transistor (TFT) gauge, including front braking pressure and G / force front/rear readings, giving the driver even more feedback from the machine. It has both street mode and track mode, which focuses on performance information. Such as YRC settings, zoomed view of the tachometer in the upper turning range, a lap timer with best lap and last lap function, gear position indicator, and speed.
Chassis / Suspension
The YZF-R1M Yamaha 2019 Super Sports Bike has a highly developed Ohlin’s electronic competition suspension. The new suspension control unit receives data from the IMU, such as vehicle speed, incline, acceleration, and brake pressure. Then it adjusts the front and rear damping in real-time for optimal suspension performance. The system has several modes for streets and tracks.
In automatic modes, the T-1 and T-2 Track modes allow adjustment settings that focus on specific areas, such as cornering, braking, and acceleration, for smoother tuning. The R-1 road simplifies these settings for street-oriented driving, leaving a fixed attenuation to adjust the conventional suspension. The hand-polished aluminum fuel tank is 3.5 pounds heavier than the equivalent steel fuel tank, further reducing the overall weight, and after carving.
An all-new slim aluminum Deltabox frame, magnesium subframe, and polished aluminum rear rocker arm contribute to the lightweight and compact chassis design. Its overall geometry has been perfected on race tracks around the world. The rigid motor attach uses the engine as a stressed member of the frame to attain the best balance of rigidity and outstanding cornering performance on the track.
The racing ABS and unified braking system developed by the track can provide the best braking performance. The UBS activates the rear brake when the front brake is applied and distributes the force according to the bicycle’s attitude and tilt angle. Thereby suppressing unnecessary rear-end motion during braking. 4-piston radial-mounted front caliper rides on a 320mm rotor with excellent braking force. Compared with the traditional aluminum alloy wheels, the 10-spoke cast magnesium wheel dramatically reduces the rotation quality.
Additional Features
The dynamic YZF-R1M Yamaha 2019 Super Sports Bike styling creates a more compact shape and improves aerodynamic performance, bringing you closer to MotoGP. R1M drivers use a carbon fiber body, hand-polished fuel tank, and aluminum rear rocker arm, so they have a higher fit and smoothness.
The LED headlights are light and compact, which makes the design of the front face more streamlined. An all-new LED front turn signals are combined into the rear view mirror to improve aerodynamic performance, while LED taillights are stylish and highly visible.
