WHAT YAMAHA HAS
TO SAY ABOUT THE R6:
Source: YAMAHA
All-new, light,
powerful and bristling with knowledge gained from years of racing, the
YZF-R6 is the most advanced production motorcycle Yamaha—or anybody
else—has ever built.
The YZF-R6 is 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 all-new inline four-cylinder engine
designed for optimal layout and mass centralization.
Slipper-type back torque-limiting clutch greatly facilitates braking/downshifting
from high speed.
Formula 1-style air management presents very small frontal area and
excellent aerodynamics; new ram-air induction ducts cool, high-pressure
air through the steering head for optimal combustion, more horsepower
and enhanced engine cooling.
50th Anniversary
Special Edition model celebrates Yamaha racing heritage with classic
black and yellow livery and special badging.
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 to produce maximum power at 14,500 rpm—and
a rev ceiling of 17,500 rpm.
YCCT—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 less vibration; 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, an O2 sensor and catalyzers for a broad powerband, spot-on injection
and EU-3 emissions compliance.
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 highoutput magneto
deliver extremely accurate, reliable firing.
Chassis/Suspension:
All-new Deltabox aluminum frame incorporates GP thinking in terms of
engine positioning and rigidity—welcome to the next level of 600
class handling.
MotoGP-style 52.5-percent front-wheel weight bias helps produce razor-sharp
handling.
A new swingarm is 2.2 pounds lighter and pivots 20mm higher in the frame,
for increased anti-squat effect and mid-corner stability. TZ-type chain
adjusters ease rear tire changes.
Four-way adjustable (preload, high-/low-speed compression, and rebound
damping) inverted fork with 41mm tubes increases freedom in setting
up for street or track use; soak up the bumps and resist bottoming when
braking.
Four-way adjustable (preload, high-/low-speed compression, and rebound
damping) piggyback rear shock delivers exceptional rear wheel tracking
and stability.
Dual 310mm front disc brakes use forged, one-piece radial-mount calipers
and radial-pump front master cylinder with adjustable lever for astounding
braking power and feel.
Removable CF die cast rear subframe is light and strong.
Super-light five-spoke 17-inch wheels are light and strong; the casting
technique makes the rim section light, not to mention wickedly cool-looking.
Additional Features:
Quick-detach license plate holder and rear turnsignal mount makes prepping
for track days or racing a snap.
Built-in lap timer is controlled by a right-handlebar switch.
Multi-function digital and analog instrumentation features: programmable
shift light, digital speedometer, analog tachometer, dual tripmeters
with miles-on-reserve function, odometer, water temp gauge and lights
for neutral, high beam, low fuel and turn signals.
Standard toolkit located in convenient storage compartment under passenger
seat.
