Yamaha YZF-R description
2012 Yamaha YZF-R6, lightweight 67mm x 42.5mm, 599cc DOHC 16-valve, liquid-cooled titanium-valved four-cylinder has a compression ratio of 13.1:1, for great response. Domed pistons with valve cutouts produce a compact combustion chamber.Fuel injection mapping for the YCC-TYamaha Chip Controlled Throttle dual-injector system complements the high compression ratio for great throttle response and reduced engine braking.YCC-IYamaha Chip Controlled Intake electronically varies intake tract length for a broader powerband.A magnesium subframe removes weight from the rear of the motorcycle for increased mass centralization.YCC-T 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.Slipper-type back torque-limiting clutch greatly facilitates braking and downshifting from high speed. Close-ratio six-speed transmission delivers seamless power and maximum acceleration.GP-style titanium muffler contributes to mass centralization and contains EXUP for a broad powerband, and 02 sensor for spot-on injection and emissions compliance.Linerless, direct-plated ceramic-composite cylinder bores mean greater heat dissipation for consistent power delivery and reduced friction.Cool magnesium valve and engine covers are light and stylish.Direct-ignition coils, dual-electrode spark plugs and high-output magneto deliver extremely accurate, reliable firing.Chassis and Suspension Deltabox aluminum frame incorporates GP thinking in terms of engine positioning and rigidity for the ultimate in 600-class handling.The lightweight swingarm pivots high 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-speed compression, 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-speed compression, 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.The casting technique for the five-spoke 17-inch wheels makes the rims light and strong, not to mention wickedly cool-looking.Removable rear shock spacer and adjustable fork ride height allows the rider to tailor the ride position for the best fit and comfort.
