FEATURES & BENEFITS
Engine:
- Liquid-cooled, 1198cc, DOHC, 16-valve, 70° V-4 engine has no equal in its class, pumping out tremendous, hard-hitting power to make it the ultimate quick-accelerating, high-performance king.
- Patented Yamaha “V-Boost” induction, a power-boosting variable intake system, force-feeds massive quantities of fuel into the cylinders via a servo-controlled butterfly valve at 6000 rpm and above.
- Specially designed high-lift camshafts ensure ample acceleration at lower rpm, helping to further broaden the already awesome powerband.
- Specially tempered crankshaft and connecting rods help harness the powerplant’s chart-topping performance and stand up with greater durability to the unparalleled power.
- Smooth-shifting 5-speed transmission puts that massive powerband to the pavement with one purpose: maximum acceleration all the way to redline.
- Hydraulically activated diaphragm-type clutch delivers precise clutch performance with lighter pull.
- Four huge, 35mm Mikuni downdraft carburetors ensure seamless, lightning quick throttle response.
- Low-maintenance shaft drive provides ultra-smooth performance that’s virtually lash-free.
Chassis/Suspension:
- Low-slung styling helps reduce seat height to 30.1" for low center of gravity and better- balanced handling.
