2015 YAMAHA YZF-R6 Review


The Reigning Pro Daytona Sportbike Champion.

The R6 rules the track, in a scalable title and your city maze. Lightweight, powerful, it is full of endless innovation: YCC-T to achieve the perfect response; YCC-I offers a wide range of powers; slipper clutch and incredible acceleration closer than the six-speed transmission.

Key Features :

• Light, powerful, and with the knowledge gained from many years of racing lined YZF-R6 is the most advanced production 600cc motorcycle Yamaha, or others, have built.

• The YZF-R6 is the first production motorcycle with YCC-T®, Yamaha Chip Control Throttle System, perfect response under all conditions.

• YCC-I®, Yamaha Chip Control Intake, R6 is used to change the intake pipe length is excellent cylinder filling and broader powerbrand.

• Back torque limiting slipper clutch greatly facilitates braking / downshifting from high speed. Fine-toothed provides seamless power and maximum acceleration ratio six-speed transmission.

Features and Benefits :


Engine :

• Compact, light weight 67 mm x42.5 mm, 599cc DOHC 16-valve, liquid-cooled titanium valve four-cylinder compression ratio 13.1: 1, for a lot of repercussions. Dome of the piston and the valve cutouts produce a compact combustion chamber.

• Fuel injection mapping for the YCC-T- Yamaha Chip Control Throttle dual injector system complements the high compression ratio for great throttle response, and reduce engine braking.

• YCC-I- Yamaha Chip Control Intake different electronic intake pipe length is wider powerband.

• YCC-T- Yamaha Chip Control Throttle uses a powerful ECU and multiple sensors to provide 
perfect, smooth engine response, optimal power whenever the throttle twisted under all conditions.

• Dual injector fuel injection: shower-type injectors above each intake funnel help achieve optimum fuel atomization high speed.

• Slipper type back torque-limiting clutch greatly facilitates braking and downshifting speed. Close-ratio six-speed transmission provides 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.

• Without lining, straight ceramic composite plated cylinder bores mean consistent power delivery and reduce the friction greater heat dissipation.

• Cool magnesium valve and engine covers lightweight and stylish.

• Direct ignition coils, dual-electrode spark plugs and high-output magneto provides extremely accurate, reliable firing.

Chassis/Suspension :

• A sub-frame magnesium concentration increased after massive weight deleted from the motorcycle.

• Deltabox® aluminum frame used GP thinking engine positioning and rigidity in the 600 final processing terms
.
• Lightweight rocker arm pivots high in the frame for increasing the effectiveness and stability of the anti-squatting intermediate angles. TZ-type chain adjuster ease rear tire changes.

• Four-way adjustable (preload, high-speed compression, low speed compression and rebound damping) inverted fork forty-one mm tube increases the freedom of establishment of street or track use; immersed in the bumps and resist bottoming when braking.

• Four-way adjustable (preload, high-speed compression, low speed compression and rebound damping) equipped with rear shock absorbers provide excellent tracking and stability.

• Dual 310 mm front disc brakes use forged one-piece radially mounted calipers and radial pump front master cylinder with adjustable lever braking power and feel amazing.

• The casting technique for the five-spoke 17-inch wheels makes the rims light and strong, not to mention wickedly cool-looking.

• Removable and adjustable rear shock pad truck body height allows the rider to tailor the best fit and comfort seating position.

Additional Features :

• Built-in circle timer is controlled by the right side handlebar switch.

• Multifunction digital and analog instrumentation features: programmable shift light, digital speedometer, analog tachometer, dual tripmeters with miles of reserve function, odometer, water temperature and light neutral, high beam, low fuel consumption and steering lights.
