    Full of innovations and technology you wont find on any other middleweight Supersport.

    The developement targets for the 2011 Yamaha R6 are to be the most exciting bike to ride on thetrack and the most fun sport bike to ride on winding roads. The engineers tweaked the mid range

    performance last year but don't worry, the high rpm rush that has made the Yamaha R6 famous isready when you are. Confidence, agility, performance and most importantly fun.

    Track ready. Street smart.

    The 2011 Yamaha R6 is designed to do one thing extremely well: get around a race track inminimal time. It's about a screaming, 15,000 rpm plus fuel injected four cylinder engine in a tautchassis that lets it snap from upright to full lean instantly. Oh year: It's a great street bike too.

    The R6 is a showcase of Yamaha's latest sport bike technologies.

    From the YCC-T fly by wire throttle to the MotoGP inspired straight frame design, to Yamaha'sexclusive electronically variable intake stacks, the R6 is designed to take super sport riding to awhole new level.

    2011 Yamaha YZF-R6 model Features

    Fuel Consumption * 17kpl/48mpg(Imp)

    Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T)

    Optimized straight frame design

    ENGINE

    Ultra-compact, lightweight, short stroke, 599cc, DOHC, 16-valve, liquid-cooled, in-line four-cylinder with lightweight titanium valves produces incredible horsepower. Redline is set at anamazing 16,000rpm.

    67mm bore and 42.5mm stroke provide a fast revving powerplant. Engine width is minimizedthanks to Yamaha's special casting technologies and "liner less" cylinder design.

    Compact "pent roof" cylinder head design features ultra lightweight titanium valves for bothintake and exhaust. The intake valve angle is 11.5 degrees and the exhaust is 12.25 degress. The

    intake valves are 27mm in diameter while the exhaust valves are 23mm.

    Single intake valve springs reduce weight and "friction" for optimum high rpm performance. Thevalve retainers are made of lightweight aluminum.

    High flow intake and exhaust ports allow more fuel in and more exhaust out for great power delivery at all rpms.

    Lightweight magnesium cylinder head cover and case covers reduce weight.

    Separate cylinder block (the cylinder is no longer part of the upper crankcase) design utilizes

    ceramic composite plated "liner less" cylinder bores. The ceramic coating is sprayed directly onthe aluminum block. The benefits are greater heat dissipation for consistent power delivery,reduced frictional power loss, reduced oil consumption and since there are no heavy liners,reduced weight too.

    Lightweight forged pistons feature thin top rings for great high rpm power. The pistons aresecured by lightweight tapered type piston pins. The lightweight design means fast engineresponse.

    Lightweight crankshaft features 31mm bearing journals. The inertial crank mass has beenoptimized for excellent throttle response and impressive acceleration. The crank journal bearingsfeature special oil holes that increase the supply of oil.

    High lift / high performance, hollow, side-driven camshafts provide arm stretching power and

    strong acceleration.

    Automatic semi-hydraulic type cam chain tensioner reduces mechanical noise and maintenance.

    Mikuni fuel injection system with 41mm throttle bodies features twin injectors (primary &secondary). This type of twin injector system is also found on our MotoGP M1 machine and thelatest generation R1. Each of the injectors utilizes 12 spray holes to maximize the atomization

    process. The secondary injectors, located inside the airbox, begin to function at mid rpms (6,000to 7,000rpm) thru to redline. This system is lighter and simpler than the sub motor drivensecondary valve type FI system. Special short intake tracts allow for higher rpms and improved

    power.

    The F.I. system features separate TPS (throttle position sensor) and APS (accelerator positionsensor) sensors.

    Yamaha Chip Control Throttle (YCC-T) is another 1st for Yamaha. This system electronicallycontrols the throttle valves for outstanding response and improved controllability at high rpms.The system features Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) and D.C. motor driven throttle valves. TheYCC-T system electronically controls the throttle valves for outstanding response and improvedcontrollability at all rpms. The YCC-T is used to provide even more control of the intake air volume for a smoother torque character. The YCC-T features 3 - ECU's inside the main ECU tocontrol ignition, fuel injection and the YCC-T. This special ECU is capable of responding to

    changes at a speed of 1000th of a second.YCC-I or Yamaha's Chip Controlled Intake system means the intake funnels / stacks vary inlength between 2 pre-set positions depending on engine rpms. The transition rpm isapproximately 13,700 rpms. An electronic servo motor varies the funnels. The revolutionaryYCC-I provides the best of both worlds solid low rpm torque and power combined with anamazing high rpm rush. It takes only 0.3 of a second for the funnels to move from the tall to theshort position.

    Yamaha's exclusive YCC-I electric-control servo motor-driven variable intake funnel system is aworld's 1st on a production motorcycle and works in conjunction with Yamaha's fly-by-wiretechnology and FI systems.

    7.6 litre air box utilizes a high flow viscous paper type air filter.

    Ram Air Induction System with centrally located intake duct delivers cool, high-pressure air "force-fed" into the intake tract for optimal combustion and greater horsepower at higher speeds.This design provides straight induction from the central fairing duct to the airbox without a lot of

    bends or turns.

    Close ratio 6-speed transmission delivers seamless power delivery and maximum acceleration.Gear widths, splines and engagement dogs have been optimized to handle the R6's power. Theshift drum and shifting mechanism are located on the right side of the cases for smooth shiftingfeel under power. The gears use flat contact-type engagement dogs for positive shifting and greatdurability.

    The "Tri-Axis" or stacked transmission design creates a more compact engine front to back thatallows for optimum engine placement in the "sweet spot" of the frame for optimized weightdistribution and incredible handling.

    Slipper or back limiter clutch assembly reduces rear wheel hop when making hard down shifts or under hard braking. Key benefit is reduced lap times and smoother control when participating ineither a race or track day. This clutch uses 9 paper based friction plates and 8 steel plates, plus 6coil-type clutch springs.

    The oil lubrication system has been optimized to reduce frictional loses caused by "oil drag". It

    features a "two side" oil pump. There is a separate liquid-cooled oil cooler to insure consistentengine temperatures for maximum performance and extended service life.

    High capacity cooling system features a curved radiator with dual ring-type fans for excellentengine cooling efficiency. The ring-type fan offers more airflow than a conventional type fan.

    Direct ignition coils, iridium dual electrode spark plugs and high-output magneto deliver reliable,super strong spark. With this system, the ignition coils are integrated into the plug caps,significantly reducing weight.

    "Mid Ship" 4-into-2-into-1 exhaust maximizes engine performance. The header pipe diameter

    and length have been optimized for excellent flow. There are three, 3-way honeycombcatalyziers with an oxygen sensor in the system to reduce harmful HC & CO exhaust emissions.The oxygen sensor provides feedback to the ECU so it can adjust for the optimum fuel/air mixture. The "mid ship" MotoGP style, lightweight titanium muffler is located below the engineto central mass and lower the center of gravity for great handling.

    The exhaust system also features Yamaha's EXUP System (Exhaust Ultimate Power Valve)utilizing a titanium body and butterfly valves that prevent the "blow back" phenomenon caused

    by "valve overlap". This design reduces weight and maximizes cornering clearance. The EXUPsystem eliminates "flat spots" in the power band and reduces emissions too. This is a 1st on a600cc supersport machine.

    High powered 32 bit electronic control unit actually contains three ECUs inside the main ECU tocontrol the FI system, the YCC-T system and the ignition system.

    Air Injection System (AIS) injects fresh air into the exhaust ports to fully burn any unburnt fuelin order to reduce harmful CO & HC exhaust emissions

    Compact, lightweight aluminum Deltabox frame offers an optimized total rigidity balance for incredibly light and agile handling. This frame is a MotoGP inspired innovation that Yamahacalls a "straight frame concept". This means the top spars of the frame lie as close to possible to

    the frame's torsional axis (the line connecting the head pipe to the swingarm pivot point). Theram air duct passes through the frame at the head pipe for a straight ram air effect too. A mix of revised mold castings and pressed aluminum plates make up the frame. The engine is a fullystressed chassis member allowing for a super-light frame design.

    Lightweight, detachable magnesium rear subframe. The detachable design allows rear shock access and is less costly if the unit is "looped out".

    Lightweight, aluminum "gull wing" type swingarm uses a mix of castings and pressed plates for optimum rigidity. The swingarm pivot position has been optimized to reduce the "squat"tendencies caused by drive chain reaction to hard throttle openings.

    Key chassis geometry figures include: 1380mm wheelbase, 24 degree caster angle, 97mm of trailand a 52.5% front and 47.5% rear weight balance. The maximum lean angle is a knee scraping57 degrees.

    Fully adjustable 41mm inverted front fork provides 120mm (4.7") of wheel travel and offersincredible suspension performance with ultra-precise feedback. Adjustments include: 5-wayspring preload, 4-way high speed compression damping, 20-way low speed compressiondamping and 25-way rebound damping. The inverted design not only reduces unsprung weight

    but also increases the rigidity of the fork. The range of adjustments allows the rider to tunesuspension to match riding style and conditions.

    Upper triple clamp features a 30mm offset for precise handing and great steering feel. Thelightweight aluminum clip-ons are mounted below the triple clamp.

    Fully adjustable Monocross link rear suspension utilizes a piggyback-style shock providing120mm (4.7") of wheel travel. Shock adjustments include: 9-steps of spring preload adjustability,4-way high speed compression damping, 20-way low speed compression damping and 18-wayrebound damping adjustability. The piggy back design helps to keep the shock oil cool for moreconsistent damping.

    Radial mount, monoblock, 4-piston calipers squeeze large 310mm dual front discs. The radial

    mounting design helps to reduce caliper distortion for improved braking performance withexcellent control and good lever feedback. The disc carriers are made from aluminium for reduced weight while the sinter metal pads provide incredible stopping power.

    Brembo radial pump master cylinder features a 16mm piston. The radial design allows for more powerful braking and improved lever feedback. The lever is adjustable for various hand sizes.

    Lightweight five-spoke 17" wheels reduce unsprung weight by making hub and spokes a singlestructural unit. A special casting technique makes the rim section substantially lighter andstronger.

    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. There are special sidefairing intake ducts to allow cool air to circulate around the engine, fuel tank and frame areas."Minimalism" and "mass forward" movement are two words that best describe this design body.

    17.5-litre fuel tank provides excellent rider ergonomics and an aggressive riding position. Thereserve portion of the tank is 3.5 liters. The tank features a front tank cover like the R1 and aninternal electric fuel pump.

    Separate rider and passenger seats. An optional rear seat cowl is available.

    Dual 55 watt H7 "cat eye" headlights. These lights not only cast a bright beam of light, but also

    feature a sleek profile for superb aerodynamics.Compact race inspired multi-function digital and analog instrumentation with adjustable back lighting. Features: analog tach, digital speedometer, dual tripmeters, low fuel warning light, fueltripmeter, and clock. There is also a programmable shift light and stop watch/lap timer that iscontrolled by the LHS handlebar mounted switch gear.

    Single lens LED taillight provides excellent visibility, extended service life and uses less power than conventional bulbs.

    Immobilizer ignition system is designed to reduce the possibility of "ride away" theft. This

    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 doesnot recognize the correct coded ignition key, the ignition system and starter will not function.
