Features
The "A" mode lets the rider enjoy sportier engine response in the low- The standard map is designed for optimum overall performance. " The R1 features Yamaha D-MODE (or drive mode) with rider-selectable throttle control maps to program YCC-T performance characteristics for riding conditions. The fuel injection system provides optimum air/fuel mixtures for maximum power and smooth throttle response. YCC-I is Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake which is a variable intake system that broadens the spread of power. " This R1 keeps all the technological superiorities developed for its predecessor: YCC-T (Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle) is MotoGP inspired fly-by-wire technology used to deliver instant throttle response. This breakthrough technology on the YZF-R1 represents a paradigm shift in both technology and performance. It's a feeling that's simply unmatched, like having two engines in one: the low-rpm torquey feel of a twin with the raw, high rpm power of an inline four. That means smooth roll-on delivery out of the corners, with outstanding tractability, followed by very strong high rpm power. This uneven order does an amazing thing… it actually lets power build more smoothly. Crossplane technology, first pioneered in MotoGP racing with the M1, puts each piston 90° from the next, with an uneven firing interval of 270° - 180°- 90°- 180°. " Back for 2010, the YZF-R1 is the only production motorcycle with a crossplane crankshaft. The YZF-R1 was chosen for its MotoGP-inspired engine and chassis technology, and for its luxurious fit and finish. " The YZF-R1 garnered the prestigious award as the 2009 Motorcycle of the Year from Motorcyclist Magazine.

Engine
" This fuel-injected engine takes full advantage of YCC-T (Yamaha The silencer is a single expansion type, and the sound coming through from the unique crossplane crankshaft- equipped engine is unlike any other inline-four cylinder production supersport. " The exhaust system is meticulously designed to enhance engine output while, thanks to its three-way catalyst technology, also reducing exhaust emissions. " Slipper-type back torque-limiting clutch greatly facilitates braking/downshifting from high speed. This contributes to outstanding power delivery characteristics in the high-speed range, while the design also helps to minimize intake noise. " A forced-air intake system is adopted to increase intake efficiency by using the natural airflow during riding to pressurize the air in the air box. Titanium intake valves are lightweight. " This engine features forged aluminum pistons to take maximum advantage of the power characteristics. " To maximize rider comfort as well as power output, the engine adopts a coupling-type balancer that rotates in the opposite direction as the crankshaft. Instead, combustion torque continues to build, giving the rider more linear throttle response with awesome power and traction out of the corners. This overcomes the inherent fluctuations in inertial torque during each engine revolution, and the accompanying peaky torque characteristics. Unlike typical inline-four engine design, where the two outer and two inner pistons move together in pairs with 180° intervals, the crossplane crankshaft has each connecting rod 90° with a unique firing order of 270° - 180° - 90° - 180°. " Crossplane crankshaft technology proven in victory after victory on MotoGP machines provides a high-tech uneven firing interval.
Chassis/Suspension
Chassis/Suspension
The elongated shape of the tank allows it to fit neatly within the frame in a way that promotes concentration of mass. " The press-formed fuel tank has a shape developed using 3-D simulation analysis technology. R1 has adjustable footrests, with a 15mm height and 3mm front-to-rear adjustment. Welcome to the club. " Factory racers get machines tailored to their preferences. To achieve maximum performance, a bottom linkage is used to work with the rest of the chassis refinements for brilliant, crisp handling characteristics. This unit also adopts a pillow-ball-type joint for exceptional shock absorption, road hold feeling, and damper response. " The SOQI rear shock features both high and low speed compression damping plus an easy-to-use screw hydraulic adjustment for preload. Since both forks always move together, compression damping duties can be confined to the left fork, while rebound damping is precisely handled by the right fork, reducing oil cavitation. " SOQI front forks take a page from the championship-winning design of our MotoGP weapon, the M1. It is a sophisticated combination of Controlled-Fill die-cast, stamping, and gravity casting… the exact technology needed for each portion of this advanced frame. " The frame has a combination of uncompromising rigidity where needed along with carefully achieved flex for the precise rigidity balance this bike needs to give the rider the full benefit of its handling and engine characteristics.
