998 cc, DOHC, 4 valves, according to the four revolutionaries "crossplane" crankshaft
Compact frame with fully adjustable suspension Deltabox
MOTOR
Very light, compact, 998cc, DOHC, 16 valves, liquid cooled, 40 degree inclined, in-line four-cylinder, crankshaft "cross" style.
Key elements of this advanced engine design are the "crossplane" crankshaft and irregular firing order. These two features are used in the pilot Yamaha M1 MotoGP championship winner. Note ... this is not a "big bang" engine. The R1 line deviates from the standard 4-cylinder and 180 degrees of alignment of the trunnions (where the bars attach to the crankshaft), and locates the center of two pins in a plane 90 degrees out of the cylinders. This means that the dies aligned in the same plane (a straight line through the center of the crankshaft), align the two planes in the form of a cross ... or "cross-plane." Working to crossplane crank firing is irregular. A traditional firing order on-line 4-cylinder 1,2,4,3 usually with an interval of 180 degrees. R1 fires the 1,3,2,4-cylinder engine and firing ranges are not equal to 270 / 180 / 90 / 180 degrees.
What all this means that the driver has maximum torque linear accelerator and surprising. This design allows the engine to a new level of rider - machine communications. A key benefit is a performance curve and the engine management allows an increase.
The goal of engineering is the ability to control R1 ... not only an increase in power. If this were the case, could simply have increased the power output of the existing engine design resulting in maximum power band, hard to use.
A 4-valve cylinder head design has a compact combustion chamber that uses lightweight, trick titanium valves for the suction side. A 4-valve design maximizes breathing efficiency and engine performance in general.
The titanium intake valves are 31mm in diameter, while the steel exhaust valves are 25mm in diameter. Light but super strong valve springs and VX alloy valve movement.
Steep valve angles, 11.5 degrees intake side and 12.5 degrees exhaust to produce a compact combustion chamber.
The titanium intake valves and lighter weight alternative to reduce the intake valves of high speed, without worrying about valve float. The use of lightweight "Ti" valves allowed Yamaha engineers to use a size 4 valves per cylinder. In the past, the use of 5 smaller valves allowed a higher rpm limit since each of the "small" valves was relatively light. The use of lightweight titanium now means the engineers no longer have to use the 5-valve design to achieve the same high rpm.
The combustion chambers are optimized for maximum engine performance. The compression ratio is 12.7:1.
Compact Automatic cam chain tensioner reduces both maintenance and mechanical engine noise.
Short skirt, forged aluminum pistons provide a light and fast response and high reliability of the accelerator.
Cross plane crankshaft features 36 mm print for added strength, while the moment of inertia of the handle was up 20% over the previous generation R1.
The rods are carburized and use a small nut design. The lower end "cap" of the rod is made of the same room as the top and is pulled in a process called "fracture splitting". This process aids real big end roundness and greater precision in the dimensions rod.
Ceramic composite cylinder "holes" are the "liner less" design with a ceramic coating on an aluminum block directly to the uniform heat dissipation for consistent power delivery, reduced oil consumption, reduce friction and reduce weight.
Design the cover closed cylinder allows the cylinder must be spaced more closely, allowing a limited motor.
Motor unit is a standalone piece (not included in the top cover). The advantage is lower weight and a smaller motor that lowers the high center of gravity.
A "balance of power clutch" are used to dampen engine vibration for excellent rider comfort.
MCA Compact (alternator) is mounted directly on the crankshaft. The compact ACM uses rare earth magnets to produce more energy for a given size than conventional magnets, thus reducing the size and weight.
Mikuni fuel system features twin injectors (primary and secondary series of nozzles). This type of double-injector system is also used in our M1 MotoGP race bike and the R6. A series of nozzles (the primary) are 45mm throttle bodies, while a second box of air nozzles are located in close proximity to the computer-controlled supply channels. Primary intravenously with 12 spray holes to maximize the process of atomization of the fuel. The secondary injectors, the air inside the box will act as the next half, beginning to provide more fuel, if necessary.
IF the system has separated two-way TPS (throttle position sensor) and APS (accelerator position sensor) sensors
An oxygen sensor is mounted in the exhaust manifold into a "closed loop" type FI system bringing info to the ECU, so adjustments can be constant air-fuel mixture for improved performance and reduced emissions .
The advantages of injection include excellent throttle response, good fuel economy, reduced emissions, stable idling and no choke trouble during startup.
Light fuel injection and electronic control unit (ECU) uses a powerful 32-bit processor for fast control of the injection process. The compact design also reduces weight.
YCC-I Yamaha Chip Controlled or by admission of the intake funnels / stacks vary in length (2 positions) depending on engine speed. An electronic control varies in length to funnel the top position in the low to mid rpm for the shorter option for improved high rpm power. Rpm Transition between two lengths of approx. 9400 rpm. The revolutionary YCC-I provides the best of both worlds ... strong low-end torque and power combined with an incredibly high rpm rush. It only takes 0.3 seconds for a channel to move from the high to the short position.
YCC-I Yamaha exclusive electric motor servo control system variable intake manifold is a world first for a production motorcycle and works in conjunction with Yamaha fly-by-wire technology and hi-fi systems.
Yamaha Chip Control Throttle (YCC-T) electronic control valves for throttle response and improves maneuverability at all speeds. The YCC-T used to give even more control over the volume of intake air for the character of sweet couple. Similar to the design R6, YCC-T features 3 - ECU inside the main ECU to control ignition, fuel injection and the YCC-T. This special ECU is capable of responding to changes at a rate of 1000 a second.
The driver can "mechanically close" throttling by simply closing the throttle grip.
Long life Double Iridium spark electrodes are used.
Compact close-ratio 6-speed manual gearbox features gear ratios optimized to maximize performance. "Stacked" 3-axis gearbox / clutch design stacks input / output shafts to create a low center of gravity and keep the entire engine size shorter front to back. Consequently, the stacked design gives engineers the freedom to put the "sweet spot" engine in the body for an optimal balance between weight great handling.
The slipper clutch or back limiter reduces rear wheel hop during hard backward during braking. The main advantage is the reduction in lap times and better control during aggressive driving during a race or track days.
A multi-disc clutch is used, using coil springs and paper plates made from fibers.
"Ram Air", "force feeding" system, the outside air through a dual channel next to the projector headlights in the intake system. With increasing speed, air speed of the system increases and pressurizes the airbox. This "force fed" air helps the engine develops maximum power.
Computer-optimized large capacity air box maximizes performance. A viscous, high flow air filter used.
4 into 2 into 1 to 2 titanium exhaust system maximizes power, reduces weight and improves aerodynamics. The double seats offer quiet under his aggressive style and a great show. The system includes a 3-way catalyst honeycomb and an oxygen sensor. The catalytic converters reduces harmful CO and HC emissions, while the oxygen sensor provides feedback to the ECU to maintain optimum fuel / air mixture at any time.
Shorty dual mufflers diameter is a large triangular "expansion only" type that create a harsh sound and help focus on the engine. The exhaust note is very different from previous models because of the cross-plane crank R1 and irregular firing order ... seems very similar to the Yamaha M1 MotoGP bike.
Compact, efficient curved radiator consists of two ring-type fans for maximum cooling efficiency. This curved rad and twin fan design produces more airflow of a flat design to maintain optimum engine temperatures for consistent performance.
Large oil cooler keeps the liquid cooled lubricant temperature stable for extended engine life. Convenient cartridge style oil filter spin-off.
Clutch convenient hatch ensures easy oil level inspection.
High performance direct ignition coils (ignition coil is integrated into the candle) reduce weight while iridium spark plugs and high-efficiency magneto deliver increased spark.
Yamaha D-Mode variable throttle control allows the rider to adjust the properties of the motor based on preferences or driving conditions. Standard mode shows the couple very linear accelerator and feel of the engine. Mode allows the driver to enjoy the sport performance of the engine at low speeds in mid. While the B-mode reduces power response for riding situations that require power properties softer. The mechanism of the switch is located on the ERS controlled switch.
