Features may include:
Yamaha Power Valve System (YPVS).- Mechanical power valve system delivers effective exhaust timing throughout the entire rev range
- Provides excellent power and torque characteristics
- Boosts compression ratio and power output
- Delivers responsive acceleration just as the rider intends
- Slit-shaped valve on the side of the exhaust port operates in response to engine rpm
- In low-to-mid-rpm range when exhaust timing is slower, valve moves to cover the top part of the exhaust port
- In high rpm range when quick exhaust timing is needed, valve recedes and exhaust port is fully uncovered
- Shifting is reduced due to broad powerband
Lightweight, forged piston.- less reciprocating mass and less friction for a faster revving engine
CDI ignition system.- provides a hot, precise spark for fast sure starts
- provides optimal timing for quicker, stronger response at all rpms
Rigid, semi-double cradle, single backbone, steel frame.- blend of light weight and good strength
- minimal flex for razor-sharp, moto-wining handling
Detachable rear subframe.- allows easy access for suspension maintenance
- reduces costs in the event of a loop-out (subframe can be purchased separately)
Fully adjustable Monocross link rear suspension provides 282 mm (11.1 in) of wheel travel.- Kayaba piggyback shock reduces shock temperatures during a long moto for fade resistant damping and consistent performance.
- adjustments include "threaded" spring preload, 15 clicks of compression and 20 clicks of rebound damping
- optional shock springs are available through Yamaha Genuine Parts and Accessories
