Honda CBR 125

The Honda CBR250 series of bikes was produced between 1986 and 1996. It was a lightweight 250 cc (15 cu in) 4-cylinder, 4-stroke, and 6-gear sport bike capable of revving up to 19,000 rpm. The earlier models (1986–1993) produced 45 PS (33 kW). From 1994 on, the power output was reduced to 40 PS (29 kW), after a change in Japanese law.

Model history

Years	Model	Description
1986	CBR250FG and CBR250FG-YA (MC14).	Twin front disks, single front headlight, bikini fairings.
1987	CBR250R(H) (MC17).	Twin front disks, still single head light, full fairings.
1988	CBR250R(J) (MC19).	Single larger front disk, smaller chain, twin head lights, fuel pump.
1989	CBR250R(K) (MC19).	Essentially identical to the R(J), except now had a speed limiter which was set at 185 km/h.
1990–1991	CBR250RR(L) (MC22).	A completely redesigned bike that featured a new cast/pressed aluminum frame that gave a more aggressive riding position, gull shaped swing arm that was adopted from the NSR250R, higher rising tail, six spoke cast aluminum wheels and dual front 276 mm (10.9 in) floating disk brakes. These changes resulted in a dry weight of 142 kg (310 lb). The only feature that was adopted from the previous model CBR250s was the MC14E engine. This was slightly modified with a crankshaft that featured Ø27.5 mm small-end journals, up Ø0.5 mm from the previous Ø27 mm journals. The engine also used a completely new set of VP carburetors that had smaller throats, reduced from Ø32 mm to Ø30.5 mm. These carburetors were fed by a vacuum operated pump for fuel delivery.
1992–1993	CBR250RR(N) (MC22).	Essentially the same as the RR(L) except for new paint jobs.
1994–1996	CBR250RR(R) (MC22).	Still very similar to the RR(L/N) but restricted to producing 40 PS (29 kW) due to changes in Japanese law. The restrictions were in the cylinder head, head gasket and ignition unit. Redline reduced to 18,500 rpm (from 19,000 rpm).
1997–1999	CBR250RR(RII) (MC22).	These are identical to the RR(R), and are leftover bikes that were built in the 1994 to 1996 era, but sold in 1997 and 1998.

Bike Details

Initially these bikes were only sold new in Japan, and later the CBR250RR was sold new in Australia. But they can be found in almost any country of the world. In countries which have a 250cc learner capacity limit, the CBR250RR is one of the most powerful 4-stroke bikes a learner is allowed to ride, hence their popularity. The CBR250RR has six gears, and revs just under 9,000 rpm at 100 km/h. Despite the high revs, the bike requires little maintenance, and should easily last 100,000 km with regular oil changes (over 1/2 a billion revolutions). The engine is somewhat unusual in that it uses gear driven cams, further reducing maintenance requirements.
The suspension on the bike was reasonably basic with non-adjustable front forks and a rear monoshock with adjustment for preload only.
The models most commonly grey-imported into Australia were the MC22 and MC19. The earlier MC14 and MC17 are rare. During the mid 90s there was a collapse in the Japanese 250 cc bike market due to a sudden change in licensing regulations allowing riders on the previous 250 cc license class to ride bigger bikes. The excess new bikes (MC22 CBR250RR (R) and (R-II) models) were shipped to Australia by Honda MPE where they were sold as part of the company's official lineup. This has proven useful to owners of grey-market imported CBR250RR's seeking spare parts.
The CBR250RR(R) is known as the 'tri-colour' due to the fact that most (but not all) of the official bikes came in that particular colour scheme. Other than the engine restrictions, this model had several additional differences to its predecessors (L & N models). The bike featured more powerful low-beam headlights coupled to a new relay which was automatically deactivated by the start/crank button on the handlebar. This changed the pinout of the switchgear and kill-switch. The carburettor rubber boots were smaller on the CBR250RR(R) than the imports.

Similar machines

All four of the major Japanese motorcycle manufacturers produced a high-revving, 4-cylinder, 4-stroke motorcycle capable of producing up to 45 PS (33 kW). They are the Honda CBR250, Kawasaki ZXR250, Suzuki GSX-R250 and the Yamaha FZR250. With limited exceptions, these bikes were generally only officially available in Japan. However they (particularly the CBR250 and ZXR250) were available in the rest of the world as grey market imports.
Honda also made an unfaired bike using a detuned version of the same engine - the Honda 'Hornet' CB250F.

YAMAHA in India !

Posted on December 09th, 2008 in videos

Yes it TRUE ! its Happening.YAMAHA! The most exciting bike makers from Japan are establishing themselves in India.first the edgy R1 and the monster MT01 early dis year, now the sleek YZF-R15 and well built FZ16.Past!YAMAHA RX100
It has taken more den a decade for the kind of performance bikes Yamaha are known for to be launched in India. Rx-100’s production was stopped way back in 1996 but still today you will hear one of them zip pass by you with its roaring sound and amazing pickup.According to me the scariest of the Rx series was the RXZ-5speed, with its uncontrollable huge ports it just roars its lungs out to give you the trip of your life.Though all the Yamaha 2 stroke bikes are out of production they can still be bought in second hand market, they(rxz5speed) can still beat any pulsar or apache on a drag race for sure!.Anyways summing up Yamaha’s 2stroke era!, Rx were fast, lightweight, noisy ! but in my words they were pure fun bikes.
Present

R1 and MT01 were launched to announce the arrival of a totally Brand new Yamaha in India.
yamaha_mt-01_2008_01b YAMAHA in India !

yamaha-yzf-r1

India is the second biggest two wheeler market in the world.Yamaha has ignored it for a long period of time but not anymore.they are here to stay and turn around the things.

FZ16

yamaha-fz-150

The amazing street fighter bike is about to be launched soon is lined up with sleek R15 . A perfect naked bike ! looks mean and more like a imported powerful bike.
FZ16’s trendy styling and capable torque engine will do justice to its looks and loaded huge tyres. FZ16 will surely raise the competition in 150cc bike segment as it is also well priced at Rs 65000.

Future ? Ans:exciting!
Yamaha have played there initial cards were well so far in launching there new line of exciting bikes.
For me the biggest satisfaction is that they lanuched the lower segment bikes first and for the same reason in the future we can expect them to launch bikes in various larger segments !, like fazer (250cc) and R6(600cc).
Yamaha are also working hard in rebuilding there image as a trustable company in distrubution and workcenters through out the country !. www.pearlyamaha.in – yamaha’s lifestyle showrooms that are being launched near you.

Will Yamaha Roll Out Fazer 250cc?

by Paul Joseph on February 6, 2010 · 0 comments

Hey you! Don’t rush to your nearest Yamaha showroom. It’s only a Photoshop work of how the next Fazer 250 should look like. We all know that the current Fz 16 bike can be plonked with a bigger engine. The current Fz 16 chassis is underexploited to a large extent by putting a puny 150cc engine. It can cope the forces of a single cylinder 250cc engine with ease. With the existing Fazer 250cc engine, I don’t think it’s a good idea for Yamaha to launch the vehicle because of the similar figures of Pulsar 220 (a little more for yammie though). Then Yamaha have to change the rear brake to disc for better stopping power. They have to change the existing Chinese toy look alike console of Fz 16 to a better one. They can otherwise take the console from R15. As it is touted as a semi tourer than outright street bike, they have to increase the wheel base. Now the Yamaha FZ 25 can hit the road. The technical specification of the vehicle should be like this: Price: Rs 1,49,000/- Engine = 4 stroke DOHC Transmission = 5 speed Engine Capacity = 249.0 cc Max Power: 25bhp @ 8500 rpm Max Torque: 22.5926 NM / 2.30 kgm @ 6500 rpm Compression: 10:1 Bore x Stroke: 74.0 x 58.0 Dry Weight: 150 kg Tank Capacity: 14 liters Fuel Injection Battery: 12V 6AH Electric Start Front tyre: 100/80/17 Rear tyre: 140/70/17 Suspension Front: Telescopic Rear: monolink/monoshock Brakes 282mm Disk up front 220mm Disc at rear Fuel efficiency City : 25 Highway: 30 Performance 0-60kmph: 3 sec 0-100kmph: 10 sec. Top speed: 150 kmph Ride safe, wear helmet. Abiram Unnikrishnan This is an article from from: BikeAdvice.in – The Indian Bike Blog Will Yamaha Roll Out Fazer 250cc?

2005 Yamaha R6 (YZF R6)
Back to 2005 Yamaha Motorcycle Index Page

Click to Enlarge for Desktop Sized Photo

• 2005 Yamaha R6 (YZF-R6)

We started out to give the 2005 R6 more horsepower and a new fork, and wound up engineering a nearly new motorcycle.

Staying out front in the Supersport wars takes power:
New camshafts
Bigger throttle bodies
Improved fuel injection
Revised intake funnels
... and more, result in a smoother, fatter powerband with three more horsepower at 13,000 rpm.
To channel that power, a new, fully-adjustable inverted fork with 41mm tubes was added for the most precise handling possible.
It was too good a place to resist mounting powerful new 310mm front disc brakes, radial calipers and a radial master cylinder to even further exploit the R6’s amazing front-end feel.
The added rigidity of the new fork led to a redesign of the main frame to accommodate new rear suspension linkage.
Light weight, razor-sharp handling, unsurpassed overall balance – elevated to the next level.
That's why the R6 was the winner of Motorcycle-USA.com's Supersport Shootout for 2003 and 2004.
Anybody up for a track day?

With back to back Canadian Pro 600 Sport Bike championships to its credit, the 2005 Yamaha R6 is poised for even greater success with a host of important improvements for the 2005 model year. At first glance, the outward appearance of the new R6 may look similar, but looks are deceiving. The improvements have a dramatic effect on engine performance, braking power, handling and stability. The sharp handling and brilliant responsiveness of the R6 have been further enhanced by an all new 41mm inverted front fork and new 70 series front tire, while larger radially mounted brakes will have a significant effect on stopping power. New 40mm throttle bodies and revised fuel injection mapping and ECU settings have increased engine output by 3 horsepower. The upgrades are extremely significant and will become very obvious when the bike is ridden.

Yamaha Canada is pleased to announce that the new 2005 - R6 will come standard with an immobilizer ignition system that significantly reduces the possibility of theft. Yamaha Canada is proud to take the lead role in addressing our customers concerns regarding insurance rates and availability.

Features & Benefits
New for 2005

Engine upgrades in the form of 40mm throttle bodies, revised fuel injection and ignition mapping, new camshafts and intake funnels, etc., all result in a 3-horsepower increase at the same rpm as before with more power across the board.

New, fully adjustable inverted fork with 41mm tubes further reinforces R6’s main strength: precise handling. New, cast top triple clamp and forged lower clamp also increase rigidity, and work with revised handlebar positioning.

To complement the new fork, the rear section of the Deltabox III main frame was revised internally to work with revised swingarm linkage and mounts for improved handling.

Lighter, 310mm front brake discs replace 298mm units. New radial-mount four-piston calipers and radial master cylinder provide greater braking power and feel.

120/70-ZR17 front tire replaces previous 120/60-ZR17 for improved handling.

Twin, ring-type radiator fans are now used to ensure optimal engine cooling.

Revised headlight lens and revised under-cowl for even better style.

delivery and reduced frictional power loss. Sleeveless design also reduces weight.

Engine:

· Lightweight forged pistons feature carburized connecting rods for superb strength and reduced reciprocating mass. The result is incredible engine response.
· Hollow side-driven camshafts with specially designed valve lifters and computer-perfected timing helps create a very narrow engine width.
· Revised competition-bred suction-piston throttle body fuel injection with new, larger 40mm throttle bodies (body diameter is up by 2mm over the 2004 model), features short intake ports and a special vacuum-controlled intake system to ensure instant seamless throttle response all the way up to the incredible 15,500-rpm redline.
· The pressure regulator setting has been increased to accommodate the larger throttle body diameter and the resulting increase in fuel flow.
· New air funnel diameters (39.6 to 41.6mm) to accommodate the larger throttle bodies and revised funnel lengths on cylinders 2 and 3.
· New larger intake manifold to accommodate the larger throttle bodies.
· Ram Air Induction System delivers cool, high-pressure air ''force-fed'' into the intake tract for optimal combustion and greater horsepower at higher speeds.
· Close-ratio 6-speed transmission delivers seamless power delivery and maximum acceleration. Gear widths, splines and engagement dogs are optimized for smoother shifting under power.
· ''Tri-Axis'' or stacked transmission design creates a more compact engine front to back that allows for optimum engine placement in the frame for optimized balanced weight distribution and incredible handling.
· Heavy-duty, large-capacity clutch ensures consistent, fade-free performance.
· Revised cooling system features a curved radiator with new dual ring-type fans for excellent engine cooling efficiency. The ring-type fan offers more airflow than a conventional non-ring type fan.
· Large-capacity internal water pump and separate liquid-cooled oil cooler ensures consistent engine temperatures for maximum performance.
· Direct ignition coils, iridium spark plugs and high-output magneto deliver reliable firing. With this system, the ignition coils are integrated into the plug caps, significantly reducing weight.
· 4-into-2-into-1 exhaust optimizes engine performance, and features a mix of stainless steel, titanium and aluminum to reduce overall weight.
· Revised ECU (electronic control unit) map accommodates the new larger throttle bodies for improved engine performance as well as the new immobilizer ignition system.

Chassis/Suspension:

· Radical, lightweight aluminum Deltabox IlI frame offers the perfect rigidity balance. The result is incredible handling response. The engine is a fully stressed chassis member allowing for a super-light frame design.
· Chassis geometry has been revised for 2005 including; wheelbase (1380 to 1385mm), caster angle (24 to 24.5 degrees) and trail (86 to 95mm) have been changed for 2005.
· Yamaha's exclusive Controlled Filling Die Casting (CF casting) is used to produce an incredibly sleek new swingarm that is remarkably strong and light by pinpointing exactly where material needs to be. Pivot position and swingarm length (576mm) are optimized for even greater traction.
· Removable aluminum rear subframe uses CF casting technology to provide lighter weight and fewer welds as well.
· All new, fully adjustable 41mm Kayaba inverted front fork offers 120mm (4.7'') of wheel travel. The new inverted forks offer incredible suspension performance with ultra-precise feedback. Adjustments include; 8 positions of spring preload, 13-way compression damping and 10-way rebound damping. The inverted design not only reduces unsprung weight but also increases the rigidity of the fork assembly.
· Revised fully adjustable Monocross link rear suspension utilizes a piggyback-style shock providing 120mm (4.7'') of wheel travel. The shock settings have been revised to maintain the ''suspension balance'' with the new inverted fork. Adjustments include: 8 positions of spring preload, 20-way compression damping and 16-way rebound damping.
· The relay arms of the rear link-type suspension have been modified to match the new fork and to enhance suspension performance. The seat height of the new 2005 R6 has been increased by 10mm (0.4'') due to the changes in the suspension.
· All new radial mount, 4-piston calipers squeeze new larger 310mm dual front disc brakes. The new mounting system helps to reduce caliper distortion for improved braking performance with excellent control and lever feedback. The larger 310mm discs are 4.5mm thick thereby reducing overall disc weight by 7%.
· Brembo radial pump master cylinder is a direct GP race innovation. The radial design allows for more powerful braking and improved lever feedback. The new shorter lever is adjustable for various hand sizes.
· 220mm rear disc brake with single-piston caliper
· Lightweight five-spoke 17'' wheels reduce unsprung weight by making hub and spokes a single structural unit. A special casting technique makes the rim section substantially lighter and stronger.
· All new 120/70ZR17 Dunlop D218 front tire. The change in tire profile provides improved handling performance. The 2004 model used a 60 series profile front tire.
· All new immobilizer ignition system is designed to reduce the possibility of theft. This new system must recognize the ''coded ignition key'' in order for the unit to start. If the immobilizer ignition does not recognize the key (or a theft's screwdriver or other type of ''jimmy tool'') the bike will not start even if the ignition is turned or forced into the on position. If the system does not recognize the correct coded ignition key, it will not allow the unit to start.
· Ultra-sleek ''new edge form'' bodywork features a sharp front profile with centrally located Ram Air duct, engine-revealing side cowlings and ultra-sleek tail section.
· Narrow 17-litre fuel tank provides excellent rider ergonomics and aggressive seating position.
· Dual Gatling beam 60/55-watt multi-reflector headlights cast a wide beam of light and feature a sleek profile for superb aerodynamics and visibility. The lens has been revised above the Ram-Air intake area for improved appearance.
· Twin LED taillights reduce both weight and size while providing excellent visibility.
· Multi-function digital and analog instrumentation with adjustable LED illumination features: digital speedometer, dual tripmeters, fuel tripmeter, clock and analog tach. There is also a programmable shift light too!

Details:

· Durable, lightweight, aluminum clip-on bars provide optimal vibration damping

yamaha YZF-R1

Yamaha launched the YZF-R1 after redesigning the Genesis engine to offset the crankshaft, gearbox input and output shafts. This "compacting" of the engine yielded a huge dividend in that the total engine length was now much shorter. This allowed the wheelbase to be shortened significantly which resulted in much quicker handling and an optimized center of gravity. The bike had a compression ratio of 11.8:1. with a 6-speed multi-plate clutch transmission.

The launch model Yamaha YZF-R1 was available in white/red or blue. Early models were subject to a worldwide recall for a clutch problem. Yamaha today describes the launch of the R1 as the true value of "Kando".^[5]^{[clarification needed]}

2005 YZF-R1 instrumentation

The 1999 R1 saw only minor changes apart from paint and graphics. Notable improvements were a redesigned gear change linkage and the gear change shaft length which was increased for better gear shifting. Fuel tank reserve capacity was reduced from 5.5 l (1.2 imp gal; 1.5 US gal) to 4.0 l (0.88 imp gal; 1.1 US gal), while the total fuel tank capacity was unchanged at 18 l (4.0 imp gal; 4.8 US gal). A second worldwide recall was issued for 1998 and early 1999 models to change a coolant hose clamp under the fuel tank which could, under hard use, come adrift.

Motorcycle Consumer News tests of the 1998 model year YZF-R1 yielded a 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) time of 2.96 seconds and 0 to 100 mph (0 to 160 km/h) of 5.93 seconds, a ¼ mile time of 10.19 seconds at 131.40 mph (211.47 km/h), and a top speed of 168 mph (270 km/h), with deceleration from 60 to 0 mph (97 to 0 km/h) of 113.9 ft (34.7 m).^[1] For the 1999 model year, Cycle World tests found a 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) time of 3.0 seconds, ¼ mile time of 10.31 seconds at 139.55 mph (224.58 km/h), and a top speed of 170 mph (270 km/h).^[6]

2001 YZF-R1

[edit] 2000–2001

In 2000, Yamaha introduced a series of changes to improve the bike, plus minor changes to the body work to allow for better long duration ride handling. The R1 was an excellent bike to live with on short runs, but due to its quick handling was not a favorite longer run bike. Yamaha's main design goal was to sharpen the pre-existing bike and not redesign it. Even so they instituted over 150 changes in hopes of making an already light, sleek and mean motorcycle even lighter, sleeker and meaner. For example, even with the addition of the new Air Induction System, which weighs four pounds, the overall weight of the bike is down five pounds to 414 lb (188 kg)^[7] dry. At 127.8 bhp (95.3 kW) at the rear wheel,^[7] top-end output remains the same but changes to the engine management system are supposed to result in a smoother, broader distribution of power.The bodywork is still unmistakably R1 although a few changes were made resulting in a 3% reduction in the drag coefficient. The headlight housing has a sharper profile, the side panels are more aerodynamic and slippery and the windscreen has been reshaped for better rider protection. In fact the bodywork changed so much that bodywork from previous R1s will not fit the Y2K edition. Also updated is the seating area. The fuel tank is reshaped with a more relaxed rear angle and deeper leg recesses to provide for better rider feel. The seat extends further towards the front of the tank and the new, steeper seating position puts additional weight on the front end. All of this is aimed at improving weight bias and offering sharper cornering and more stability. Again, the resounding theme here is to sharpen what was already a very sharp package. The carburetors have been rejetted in an effort to improve throttle response—especially in the low end—all the way up to the bike's 11,750 rpm redline. The redesigned camshafts are lighter and use internal oil ways to lubricate journals that, when combined with reduced tappet clearance, provide less friction and create less engine noise. Also changed within the crankcase is the gearbox featuring a taller first gear, a hollow chrome-moly shift-shaft with an additional bearing and a completely redesigned shift linkage and foot pedal. These changes are aimed at nixing last year's transmission complaints as well as helping to transfer as seamlessly as possible the R1's prodigious power to the pavement.

[edit] 2002–2003

2002 YZF-R1 with aftermarket high-mount exhaust

A new fuel injection system was introduced for the 2002 year, which worked like a carburetor by employing a CV carburetor slide controlled by vacuum created by the engine. With a similar power output to the 2000-2001 bike, the engine was remained largely the same. One notable improvement was the use of new cylinder sleeves of a high silicon content alloy containing magnesium that minimized heat induced distortion, reducing oil consumption. Also in 2002, Yamaha released the newly developed "Deltabox III" frame,^[8] which, with its hydro formed construction, dramatically reduced the total number of frame welds. These changes improved the frame's rigidity by 30%. The cooling system was redesigned for better performance and compactness. The exhaust system was changed from a 4-into-1 to a new titanium 4-into-2-into-1 design. The rear end of the motorcycle was updated and streamlined with a LED taillight. This allowed for very clean rear body lines when choosing one of several common after market modifications, such as removal of the turn signal stalks and stock license plate bracket; and replacing them with assorted available replacements that "hug" the body or frame. Also, front end lighting was improved in 2002, between the higher definition headlights and also side "parking" lights within the twin-headlight panel, giving a more angular appearance. This also gave additional after market possibilities, such as to remove the front blinkers and utilize these front lights as directional or hazard markers while stopped. For 2003, the only change was the choice of colors, fitted hazard warning lights and dipped headlights, which stay on all the time the engine is running. The previous years all had a "Red" option, but this was replaced by a black with red flames "Special Edition" which cost an extra $100.

In 2002, Cycle World reported fuel mileage of 38 mpg-US (6.2 L/100 km; 46 mpg_-imp), a 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) time of 2.9 seconds, a ¼ mile time of 10.32 seconds at 137.60 mph (221.45 km/h), and a top speed of 167 mph (269 km/h).^[9]

[edit] 2004–2005

2004 YZF-R1

With the competition advancing, Yamaha took to a major development. This included style updates like an under seat twin exhaust, and performance upgrades including radial brakes and for the first time on an R1 Ram-air intake. Furthermore, the wheelie-tendency known from earlier productions is drastically reduced by changing frame geometry and weight properties. The all new engine (no longer used as a stressed member of the chassis) featured a separate top crankcase and cylinder block. The 2004 R1 produces 132-134^[10] hp at the rear wheel, and also weighs 172 kilograms (dry). The conventional front brake calipers were replaced by radially-mounted calipers, activated by a radial master cylinder. Also newly added for this year was a factory installed steering damper. Combined with the changes to the frame, it helped to eliminate the tendency of the handlebars to shake violently during rapid acceleration or more so during deceleration on downgrade and less-than-perfect surfaces (aka "tank slapping").

2006 YZF-R1

[edit] 2006

The 06 R1 produces 132-134 horsepower at the rear wheel^[10]. In addition, the swingarm was extended 20 mm longer due to acceleration instability. Also, in 2006 the 50th anniversary of Yamaha racing in America, Yamaha released the limited edition version in original Yamaha racing colors. The model (LE/SP) featured a Kenny Roberts replica paint pattern with yellow and black paint, and front and rear custom Öhlins suspension units developed by the people who work on the YZR-M1 MotoGP bike. Custom forged aluminum Marchesini wheels specifically designed for the LE shaved nearly a pound of unsprung weight. And a back torque-limiting slipper clutch, and an integrated lap timer rounded out the package making the LE more of a production racer. It had an MSRP of $17,999 and only 500 units were made for the United States.

2007-2008 YZF-R1

[edit] 2007–2008

2007 Yamaha YZF-R1 used by Noriyuki Haga in the Superbike World Championship.

An all-new YZF-R1 for the 2007 model year was announced on 8 October 2006. Key features include an all-new inline four-cylinder engine; going back to a more conventional 4-valve per cylinder rather than Yamaha's trade mark 5-valve genesis layout. Other new features are the Yamaha Chip Control Intake (YCC-I) electronic variable-length intake funnel system, Yamaha Chip Control Throttle (YCC-T) fly-by-wire throttle system, slipper-type clutch, all-new aluminum Deltabox frame and swingarm, six-piston radial-mount front brake calipers with 310 mm discs, a wider radiator, and M1 styling on the new large ram-air ports in the front fairing. 2008 brought BNG and the ability to buy limited edition Fiat plastics. Power was 152.9 hp (114.0 kW) @ 10160 rpm.^[2]

[edit] 2009–2010

In late 2008 Yamaha announced they would release an all new R1 for 2009. The new R1 takes engine technology from the M1 Motogp bike with its cross plane crankshaft, the first ever production motorcycle to do so. Crossplane technology, puts each connecting rod 90° from the next, with an uneven firing interval of 270°- 180°- 90°- 180°. The idea of this technology is to reduce internal crankshaft torque, thus giving the new R1 a more linear power delivery. Yamaha claims the bike would give the rider 'two engines in one', the low end torque of a twin and the pace of an inline four. As with previous incarnations of the R1 the 2009 model keeps its YCC-T (Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle). The R1 now produces 136-138^[10] hp at the rear tire.

Another advancement included on the 09 model is D-Mode Throttle Control Valve Mapping which allows a rider to choose between 3 distinct maps depending on the rider’s environment. Each mode of operation controls YCC-T characteristics changing how the R1 reacts to driver input. The first mode is Standard Mode, which delivers performance for a wide variety of driving conditions. The second mode is "A" mode which will give a rider more available power in the lower to middle RPM range. The 3rd mode is "B" mode, which is a dial back of the previous mode, designed to soften throttle response in inclement weather and heavy traffic. D-Mode throttle control is controlled via the rider through a forward mode button near the throttle. The instrument panel is more comprehensive than previous models and the '09/'10 Yamaha YZF-R1 model now features a gear indicator as standard.

Overall handling of the R1 was improved through several changes to frame and suspension. A new sub frame was designed for the 09 R1 which is magnesium cast in a carbon fiber mold. This new sub frame offers a superior strength to weight ratio, while helping keep mass closer to the center of gravity and subsequently gives the bike greater handling performance. The rear shock on the 09 offers variable speed damping as well as an easy to tweak preload via a screw adjustment. The rear shock now connects underneath the swing arm through different linkage; a change from previous years models. Front suspension takes its cues from the M1 as the left fork handles compression damping while the right controls the rebound duties. As an added bonus to overall handling and safety, this is the first year Yamaha developers included an electronic steering damper on a production R1.

The overall look of the R1 has changed drastically. In a side by side comparison between last year’s model and the 09; to the eye, the 09 looks much more compact and could be compared to the size of the R6r. The center up exhaust on the 09 seems significantly larger compared to previous years, due in some respects to changes in emissions controls. The front has the same classic R1 shape, though the air intake location and headlamp design have been revamped on the 09 model; utilizing only projector lamps and using the new found design space within the nose cone to reroute ram air tubes next to the lights. Four color schemes have been released for the 09 Model: Blue/Black; Red/black; White/Red; Yellow/Black.

Testing the 2010 model year, Motorcyclist reported a ¼ mile time of 10.02 seconds @ 144.23 mph (232.12 km/h), a top speed of 165 mph (266 km/h), and fuel mileage of 25 mpg-US (9.4 L/100 km; 30 mpg_-imp).^[11
