This results in a smoother torque curve through the entire rev range and offers a more linear feel from the now iconic 689cc CP2 liquid-cooled, two-cylinder engine. Additionally, the introduction of YCC-T opens a whole new world for the R7 in terms of electronics, with rider modes and electronic aids introduced, following in the footsteps of the R9 allowing riders to exploit the package to the maximum and feel the thrill of the ride. CUSTOMISABLE RIDING MODES WITH YAMAHA RIDE CONTROL Following the R1 and R9, the R7 will feature Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) which allows riders to select the engine power characteristics and degree from electronic aids based on personal preference or riding conditions. Three preset riding modes include SPORT, STREET and RAIN, featuring factory settings to suit different conditions, are complemented by the option to create two Custom settings, which enable the rider to manually select their own desired settings via Yamaha's MyRide app Anniversary White 9,700OTR Icon Blue 9,500 OTR Midnight Black 9,500 OTR THIRD-GENERATION QUICKSHIFTER AND IMPROVED SHIFTING For slicker, smoother and more sporty gear changes, the number of engagement teeth for the male and female dog gears has been increased from five to six for first through to third gear. The angle of the dog gears has also been modified for fourth to sixth, reducing the effect on the bikes behaviour when the throttle is opened and closed, resulting in smoother gearshifts. The overall shifting experience is further enhanced with the introduction of Yamahas third-generation Quick Shift System (QSS), enabling clutchless up and down shifts through to different settings, with Setting 1 allowing clutchless upshifts while accelerating and clutchless downshifts while decelerating, and Setting 2 permitting downshifts while accelerating and upshifts while decelerating to suit a wider range of both road and track scenarios. MORE REFINED AND AGILE HANDLING MORE RIGID AND AGILE CHASSIS In search of improved rigidity to increase stability, almost every element of the R7s frame has been changed and optimised, including the pipe layout, diameter, thickness and reinforcement. The result is that the torsional, longitudinal and lateral rigidity have all been improved while maintaining the same weight as the previous frame. To accommodate the increased rigidity, the centre brace now uses steel plates with plastic covers to achieve excellent stability when riding, while the bike's response to steering inputs and feedback from the tyres have been optimised. The swingarm has also been re-designed to offer clearer feedback from the road. For the first time, the R7 will adopt Yamaha's SpinForged wheels, not only significantly reducing weight but also inertia at the wheels, allowing for lighter and more agile handling. The SpinForged wheels are fitted with Bridgestone's Battlax Hypersport S23 tyres, offering a higher level of grip. 5" TFT DISPLAY, CONNECTIVITY AND INTUITIVE CONTROLS 5-INCH TFT DISPLAY A 5-inch full colour TFT instrument display adds to the premium feel with four selectable themes for display. DEDICATED TRACK MODE In addition to the four road-oriented themes, a Track Mode displays only the relevant information on the dash focusing on the lap-timer, for a true 'race-style' dash-layout. KEY TECHNICAL FEATURES 689cc CP2, liquid cooled, DOHC, 4-valve inline two-cylinder engine More rigid and more agile chassis Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) R1-developed 6-axis IMU Lean sensitive rider aids including Traction Control (TCS), Slide Control (SCS), Brake Control (BC) Power Modes (PWR), Launch Control (LC) and Lift Control (LIF) Third Generation Quick Shift System (QSS) Engine Brake Management (EBM) and Back Slip Regulator (BSR) Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) with customisable settings Rear ABS off mode Next Generation R-Series design 5-inch full colour TFT display with connectivity features Log and analyse riding data with Y-TRAC Rev Cruise control and speed limiter SpinForged wheels fitted with Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S23 tyres Refined, fully adjustable front and rear suspension Revised riding position for enhanced comfort and movement CRUISE CONTROL AND SPEED LIMITER For added convenience, especially over longer distance rides, the R7 is fitted with a cruise control system which can be activated when riding at speeds of 40km/h and above in third gear and higher. After the cruise speed is set, it can be increased or decreased in increments of 1km/h with single pushes of the switch or continuously by holding down the switch. The cruise control system is cancelled when the rider selects the cancel button or hits the brake, clutch or throttle. A speed limit can also be set for the machine, controlling engine output to ensure the motorcycle does not exceed the selected speed.

The refined simplicity of the WR125R makes it a comfortable and enjoyableeveryday ride, with features such as the multi-function LCD instrumentation withsmartphone connectivity offering convenience, and the single-channel ABS frontbrakes delivering confident braking performance. The design of theWR125R takes cues from traditional Yamaha off-road themes,mixing them with modern touches. The result is a machine with bold horizontal linesblended with compact and streamlined elements, such as the striking front fairinghousing the dual-lens LED headlight. Away from the day-to-day riding, the WR125R shows that its dual-sport spirit runsdeeper than the styling inspired by Yamahas Off Road Competition range, and whyit carries the WR label with such pride.

Wed, 10 Sep 2025 00:00:00 BST https://www.5-ways.co.uk/yamaha/news/vip-yamaha-tracer-rideout-23082025 Saturday 23 August weather was forecast as 21c, and NO RAIN!!! Perfect! This was the date identified for the Yamaha VIP Tracer Rideout. And nature was on our side. The idea was to say thank you to some of our Yamaha Tracer ownersand takethem out on a VIP rideout including food stopson 5-Ways. The selectedcustomers had purchased aYamaha Tracer 9 or7 from us in the last year and answered our invite to participate. Chris Hood our rideout expert was all set to get them on a great route through the East Riding and Yorkshire Wolds, enjoying breakfast and lunch, and a chance to chat about their Tracer experience and compare notes! A new model Tracer 9 would lead the ride and again, the owners could have a good look at how it compared with their models or the Tracer 7s Lots of ringing Tracer owners revealed many to be busy or on summer holidays, but during the week we got a group sorted and made a plan. The customers that were available for the eventcame down to 5-Ways for the ride-out and met at the store and grabbed a coffee. Meeting at the showroom at 0930, everyone had the chance to look at the new demonstrator Tracer 7, resplendent in Redline colourway. Stunning looking, it has been on demo rides almost daily. Jeff, who owns a 23 reg Tracer 7 refused to sit on it for fear of being drawn in! Moving onto the Tracer 9 GT presented in Ceramic Ice their was some comparisons made by Keith and Pete, both owners of the previous models, and both very happy with their ownership of Icon Performance colour machines. Both agreed that the new machine was well specd and noted the differences suck as the headlight configuration and menu control. Introductions and briefing complete everyone kits up and Chris Hood, leads the VIPs out of the dealership and heads onto the A63 to avoid the Hull traffic (and roadworks!) Giving everyone the chance settle into the ride and get used to one anothers riding style the group peel off at the Melton interchange and head north through Melton Bottom and onto the new roundabout leading to the Rowley Road, then to Little Weighton turning left at the pond and riding to Walkington. From here the next villages were Etton, South Dalton, North Dalton and finally the B1246 to Bainton for breakfast. This was a great chance to chat about the route, the handling of the Tracer 9 & 7 and their performance on the route. Getting back on the bikes and the B1246 is ridden with some passion, all four bikes tackling this fantastic road impeccably. Leaving the road before Pocklington and turning towards Garrowby Hill then taking the back roads to Buttercrambe and Sand Hutton. A kindly SUV owner gives way to get onto the A64, which a few miles and some dual carriageway leads onto Castle Howard. Malton, North Grimston (where have the woods gone?!!) follow and eventually the road through Kirby Grindalaythe, East and West Lutton and then Helperthorpe. Turning out of the village and on to Sherburn provides a massive diversity of roads, from dual carriage of the A64 to main A & B roads and a few goat tracks in between, the Tracer brotherhood takes them all in their stride. Lunch is at Harpers Fish & Chip restaurant at Seamer. Lunch is the Seniors Meal very fitting! Its actually just their name for a smaller portion, but makes the grey headed riders smile amazingly, all still have full(ish) heads of hair! All have a good chat about the pros (many) and cons (very little) of the Tracer series. All agree the Tracer 9 and 7 are brilliant all-round capable machines. The major gripe is the ease, or lack of, getting the Tracer 9 on their centre stand! If thats all there is to complain about it looks like Yamaha have got the series right, and some technique is required by our VIPs! Goodbyes are made and the Yamaha VIP Tracer Rideout is declared a fantastic 140 miles day out from 5-Ways Motorcycle Centre, with the cry of Whens the next one? Sign me up from everyone, including Chris, whose pleasure it was to lead.

Available January 2025 onwards* The silhouette of the Tnr 700 has become iconic, standing tall and upright at the front end, before tapering to a compact tail unit. It takes on board the lessons gained through decades spent winning rally raids, harmoniously blending functionality, ergonomics and performance to deliver the most engaging ride in all conditions. The frontal design offers both excellent visibility and protection for the rider, thanks in no small part to the large one-piece windscreen, while the minimalist mid-to-rear section contributes to a riding position which gives the rider plenty of space in which to position their body, with special attention paid to riders who want to stand up and redistribute their body weight while riding off-road. Compared to the previous model, the fuel tank has been moved forward, with great consideration taken to balance size with optimal ergonomics, while retaining the classic Tnr design language. The top of the 16 litre tank now sits lower down than the one found on the previous generation model and these changes contribute to a more balanced weight distribution and better all-round handling. The mid-section of the 2025 Tnr 700 has been designed not only to facilitate a balanced visual transition between the front and rear of the bike, but also to provide a comfortable and effective saddle for the rider an area in which they can easily move their body weight around as they hustle off road. The design is uncomplicated, with an emphasis on giving a secure contact patch between the bike and the riders legs, and to facilitate good air flow in both seated and standing positions. The new one-piece rally inspired seat is also classic Tnr, being long and narrow in design and compared to the previous two-piece design, provides greater freedom of movement while riding. For all the practical reasons behind the styling, Yamahas design team have been keen to ensure they created an eye-catching motorcycle which captures the essence of off-road riding after all, it is a Tnr. Viewed head on the Tnr 700 gives the classic rally tower look. The new headlamp design features four individual LED light units stacked in an aluminium structure, in the style of Yamahas contemporary rally racers, with the Y shaped mount giving a distinctively fresh look. Where many adventure bikes can look bulky, the Tnr 700s new body panels convey a sense of lightness, yet remain tough and ready to handle whatever the rider throws at it. Its a motorcycle which has genuine off-road capabilities and the 21 front wheel is not just there for show. It has been designed to take on any roads, whether paved or not, with plenty of ground clearance and long travel suspension set to soak up even the worst of conditions. New colour-matched handguards not only confirm the Tnr 700s offroad credentials but have the practical benefits of giving the rider protection from the elements and any shrubbery which may be blocking the way. Completing the Tnrs distinctive look are two emotive new colour schemes designed to emphasize the bikes abilities.

Comprising of a matrix of multiple low and high beam LEDs linked to a camera which is integrated into the upper part of the headlamp assembly, the technology automatically detects surrounding traffic, natural light sources and weather conditions. Taking this information on board, it dynamically adjusts brightness and light distribution to provide optimal illumination at all times. The system increases rider confidence while riding at night, distributing the light in such a way that it tries to ensure other road users are not dazzled, while adjusting the illuminated area for the rider. The Matrix LED headlight array works with the six-axis IMU to adjust the light beam when a lean angle of seven degrees or more is detected, creating a more comfortable riding experience. While the adaptive headlights are fully automated, the rider can choose from three levels of sensitivity, while also having the possibility to manually override at any time while riding. POWERED BY CP3 The critically acclaimed CP3 engine needs little introduction. Famous for its high torque characteristics and incredible midrange acceleration, the latest EU5+ specification version of the 890cc three-cylinder motor delivers a peak power output of 119ps at 10,000rpm, with 93Nm of torque at 7,000rpm. Of course, the numbers only tell part of the story and dont convey a riding experience which has made TRACER 9 one of Europes biggest selling sports tourers. The most balanced TRACER 9 yet, the 2025 incarnation delivers a gloriously engaging ride thanks to that famed linear torque delivery at low-to-mid rpm. With optimised gear ratios and a distinctive growl from the twin exhaust system and tuned intake, the TRACER 9 provides an addictive ride which puts a grin on the riders face every time they open the throttle. For all the TRACER 9s playfulness, the CP3 is a joy to ride, with the perfect blend of sporty agility and touring comfort. Combined with Yamahas adjustable riding modes and the standard assist and slipper clutch, the TRACER 9 is a super smooth and versatile motorcycle capable of adapting to the riders individual needs. LIGHTWEIGHT CF ALUMINIUM DIE-CAST FRAME Complementing perfectly the CP3 engine, Yamahas aluminium Deltabox frame provides high levels of rigidity to provide an engaging and sporty ride. This is manufactured using Yamahas proprietary CF (controlled filling) die-cast process, which enables the construction of an extremely light and strong frame with varying wall thicknesses throughout, allowing for a finely tuned design with rigidity optimised to deliver class leading handling. A holistic design approach sees the Deltabox frame mated to an extended aluminium swingarm and steel subframe, now longer yet lighter than before, to provide more room for rider and passenger. The combination contributes to a motorcycle with outstanding high speed stability and the carrying capacity required from a motorcycle developed to convey two people and their luggage in style and comfort. Combined with lightweight wheels and high-specification KYB suspension, the 2025 TRACER 9 delivers an agile and secure riding experience without compromise. FULL THREE-BOX LUGGAGE CAPABILITY The 2025 TRACER 9 comes equipped ready for luggage, allowing the option of easily fitting removable 30 litre hard panniers (standard equipment on TRACER 9 GT and GT+) and/or a choice of a 34 or 45 litre top box from the official Yamaha accessories range. The genuine Yamaha hard luggage is designed to be fully integrated into the motorcycle and is easily operated with the smart key technology found on the TRACER 9 GT and TRACER 9 GT+. The TRACER 9 has been designed to carry up to 193kg, allowing rider and passenger to tour without compromise and emphasising the models capabilities as a versatile sports tourer. Also new for the 2025 TRACER 9 models is an integrated storage compartment located to the right hand side of the tank, containing a USB outlet and providing an easy to access cubby hole for wallets, documents and other small items which are essential on longer rides. INTEGRATED RIDING MODES All TRACER 9 models benefit from five Ride Modes (three preset and two customisable) which are fully integrated with the six-axis IMU and other technologies, such as the comprehensive suite of lean-sensitive rider aids, Cruise Control, electronic suspension and, where fitted, the Y-AMT transmission. These Ride Modes, Sport, Street, Rain, Custom 1 and Custom 2 can be toggled on the fly using a control on the newly designed right-hand switchgear. The factory modes are preset with different intervention levels to suit the varying conditions, while the Custom options enable the rider to adjust the individual parameters in the YRC menu of the TFT, or by using the app. When using the app, any new custom YRC settings will be uploaded and available for the rider to select the next time the app is connected to the bike. HIGH SPECIFICATION 7 FULL COLOUR TFT DASHBOARD All versions of the TRACER 9 come equipped with the same comprehensive 7 TFT dashboard. The meter features three different themes to match the riders preference and riding style, with additional layouts for navigation, music and calls. Each theme is designed to emphasise the different sides of the TRACER 9s character, from a stripped back sports design to an information packed touring layout and a more casual, design driven screen which displays core details in a visual theme inspired by Yamahas Jin-Ki Kanno development philosophy. The TFT dash has been developed to incorporate Garmins Motorize app, which includes a subscription for the full navigation service as standard (TRACER 9 GT and TRACER 9 GT+), delivering a large live-map navigation experience. The dashboard is also fully integrated with all the TRACER 9s standard and accessory features, such as the YRC (Yamaha Ride Control) ride modes, tyre pressure monitoring systems and heated accessories. LIGHTWEIGHT SPINFORGED WHEELS AND DEDICATED BRIDGESTONE TYRES Manufactured using Yamaha-exclusive SpinForge technology, the TRACER 9s wheels are lighter and stronger than those produced using more traditional processes, giving a corresponding reduction in inertia for even greater agility and improved fuel economy. The 2025 TRACER 9 further benefits from a change in rim thickness on the rear wheel, optimising the rigidity. The wheels are paired with Bridgestone BATTLAX SPORT TOURING T32 tyres which were developed specifically for the TRACER 9. The internal structure of the tyres has been designed to complement and enhance the handling characteristics of the TRACER 9, typically reducing the weight of the front wheel assembly by around 200g, with a 300g saving at the rear. Together the package contributes to a low wet weight of 212kg, and optimised handling in a variety of conditions. HIGH QUALITY, FULLY ADJUSTABLE, KYB SUSPENSION SEMI ACTIVE ON GT MODELS All models in the 2025 TRACER 9 range benefit from front and rear suspension units which allow the rider to adjust the settings and find the best set-up for their individual needs and preferences. The GT models further benefit from electronically adjustable suspension units, which has been developed specifically for the TRACER 9 in collaboration with KYB. Called KADS (KYB Actimatic Damper System), it is the most advanced suspension system found on any Yamaha production motorcycle. This semi-active system is baked into the motorcycles electronics and dynamically adjusts the damping and riding experience using real time data detected by the six-axis IMU, such as lean angle, load, acceleration and the amount and speed of the suspension stroke, providing a ride which can deliver a sporting ride without compromising comfort. The rider has the choice of different modes at the touch of a button, and the dynamics are further determined by the selected YRC riding mode, delivering a firmer, more sporting setting in Sport mode, with a greater focus on comfort in Street and Rain mode. KADS is further integrated into other advanced and convenience systems, such as the brake control, Adaptive Cruise Control and the Unified Brake System. The result is a truly confidence inspiring riding which adapts itself to the wide range of environments in which this versatile machine has been designed to be ridden in.

Embracing the Dark Side of Japan philosophy, the MT-07 has led the industry with its futuristic styling and a torque laden motor that has acquired legions of fans around the world. The edgy, sometimes radical, looks have given the MT series a cult following, inspiring a new generation of motorcyclists to take to two wheels and experience an exhilaration only those in the MT community understand. For 2025 Yamaha again looks to be the category trendsetter, as it welcomes the newest member to the MT family with a fresh new look, an even higher specification and the option of a Y-AMT equipped version. FBut for all its evolution, the 2025 MT-07 remains the torquey hooligan for which it has become notorious, albeit one with greater refinement, more technology and extra premium components. Bold and guaranteed to put a smile on your face. The urban legend continues! Ice Strom Tech Black Icon Blue YCC-T AND YRC CUSTOMISABLE RIDING MODES DEBUT IN MT-07 Appearing on the CP2 platform for the first time, the 2025 MT-07 features the Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle system which has previously been utilised on larger capacity models in the MT-series. Adopting this ride-by-wire throttle technology allows the MT-07 to employ a whole suite of electronic rider aids, which enable customisation and aid enjoyment. The MT-07s excellent throttle response now features three YRC (Yamaha Ride Control) settings which change the power characteristics to suit the riders preferences and road conditions. YCC-T also facilitates the standard switchable traction control, YAMT transmission and allows the fitment of Yamahas third generation up-anddown quickshifter as an accessory option on the standard version. Exclusive to the 2025 MT-07 Y-AMT, cruise control is also a standard feature, increasing comfort and reducing fatigue on highway riding. The MT-07 comes preset with two factory YRC modes, Sport and Street, with a third Custom setting able to be defined by the user via the TFT dashboard or the free MyRide app. The rider is able to choose from three power maps and two levels of traction control, as well as the ability to switch off intervention. Sport mode has been developed for more enthusiastic riding, such as on tracks or twisting roads. It is preset to offer the most responsive power map (PWR1) and a lower level of traction control (TCS1). Street mode, designed for everyday use, employs a softer delivery (PWR2) and the highest level of intervention (TCS2). A third power setting (PWR3) gives the mildest delivery, suitable for wet weather and low grip conditions, and users can select any one of the three power deliveries and three traction control settings (including the ability to switch off intervention completely) for their custom preset. For MT-07s equipped with Y-AMT, additional YRC settings further reflect the selected drive mode. When in manual (MT) setting, the MT-07 Y-AMT utilises the same modes as the manual version. Each of the two AT settings has its own YRC mode. When in D, the system delivers a balanced combination of throttle response, TCS and shifting to provide a good all-round setting for any conditions.

Graba great new bike and superb service at 5-Ways , Hull- East Yorkshire. Over the last three decades, Yamahas R Series has become synonymous with speed, performance and style. The launch of a new R model has always been a game-changing moment for Yamaha, from the unveiling of the original R1 in 1998, followed by the R6 a year later along with the iconic YZF-R7, to the re-invigoration of the entry-level market with the R125 in 2008. 2015 saw the introduction of MotoGP-level electronics to the Supersport segment with the R1 and R1M, and then the CP2-powered R7 added a completely new dimension to the Supersport market in 2021. And now, for 2025, the time has come to re-define the Supersport category once more with the latest highly anticipated model to join the legendary R Series lineup; the R9. Offering exhilarating performance and the cutting-edge technology the R Series is renowned for, the R9 presents a whole new generation of Supersport. Motorcycles There is no escaping that the Supersport market has changed over the years, with the needs and desires of riders evolving and emissions regulations becoming stricter. It is this change which led Yamaha to the decision that their iconic R1 would become a track-only model from 2025 with the introduction of the R1 RACE and continuation of the R1 GYTR. And while the R1 GYTR and R1 RACE and their ultimate track performance remain the halo-models atop of the Supersport range, Yamaha remains committed to the future of road-going Supersport market, and the appetite and desire shown for this market since the introduction of the R7 makes it clear there remains a place for road-going Supersport models. The introduction of the R9 completes the step-up Supersport category, which progresses from the entry level R125 to the A2-category R3, middleweight R7 and now the R9 on the road-going side, while the ever-important R1 GYTR, R1 RACE, R6 GYTR and R6 RACE retain their place in the line-up with their high-level performance reserved for the track. While this new generation of Supersport marks the beginning of a new chapter, the story remains the same with the Supersport ranges identity born from Yamahas racing DNA. From design cues to race-developed technology, each Supersport model is a product of Yamahas racing at the very highest level. The R9 takes this proven, race-derived technology and design and combines it with the critically acclaimed, triple-cylinder CP3 engine platform which has revolutionised the Yamaha brand over the last decade. The marriage of this famously high-torque powerplant and Yamahas renowned race-precision handling creates a perfectly balanced Supersport model worthy of its status as the R Series flagship, offering usable sports performance on the road, and ample performance for the track. DESIGNED WITH R-DNA The introduction of any R Series model has always been a statement, and the R9 is no exception. While the R9 retains many of the MotoGP-inspired design features which have become synonymous with Yamahas Supersport models, making it immediately obvious as an R machine, its design also presents the progression expected from a new generation. Horizontal lines have been emphasised on all R models since the 2015 R1, but this aggressive and sporty styling is taken to the next level for the R9, expanding from horizontal lines to more of a horizontal movement, offering a powerful and flowing feel, embodying the R9s agility, precise handling and race-derived innovation. This new look is encapsulated by the integrated aerodynamic winglets, which contribute to the R9s fierce new face to complement its exhilarating performance. The iconic R-Series M shaped air-duct and twin-eye headlights remain, but each of these design features are emphasised to add to the aggressive, next generation styling. A single-lens headlight in the M-duct adds to the ice-cold look, while a central front spoiler is also fixed ahead of the headlight to work with the winglets, while also contributing to the fierce aesthetic. HIGH TORQUE, 890CC CP3 ENGINE The R9 is powered by Yamahas award-winning 890cc CP3 liquid-cooled, threecylinder, DOHC, 4-valve-per-cylinder fuel-injected engine. The bore and stroke of 78mm x 62mm and 11.5:1 compression ratio provides both excellent torque and ample power, which when combined with the fine control offered by the Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) offers optimal performance both on track and on the road. The final ratio, ignition timing and fuel mapping are all optimised for Supersport performance both on track and on the road. The triple-cylinder roar has become a trademark of the CP3 over the years, and Yamahas engineers paid significant attention into amplifying the engines emotion-evoking sound. LIGHTWEIGHT ALUMINIUM DELTABOX-STYLE FRAME Developed specifically for the R9, the gravity-cast aluminium Deltabox-style frame has had its rigidity tuned for sports performance at both low and high loads. Compared to Yamahas other CP3 models, the stiffness of the R9s base frame is higher in all three directions: torsional, longitudinal and lateral. Applying specific thicknesses, shapes and also by machined holes, Yamaha engineers aimed to balance rigidity and flex giving the rider both high levels of feedback and riding comfort. The frames standalone weight of 9.7kg makes it the lightest frame ever used for a Yamaha Supersport model. This light chassis means the overall wet weight of the R9 is just 195kg, resulting in the optimal power to weight ratio. The frame, combined with the sub-frame have been designed to contribute to the R9s narrow and nimble attitude, while also emphasising the speed and performance of a true Supersport machine. THE MOST AERODYNAMICALLY EFFICIENT YAMAHA MODEL TO DATE Given its size relative to performance, the R6 has long been the most aerodynamic Yamaha model to date, and it was against this benchmark Yamahas engineers used to refine the R9s aerodynamic efficiency. Through extensive wind tunnel testing, the engineers were able to mould the R9 to boast less aerodynamic drag (thus maximising top speed and acceleration performance) than the R6, despite the R9 having a larger displacement, radiator and frontal surface area. This efficiency is achieved through a combination of the front fairing design, while the new aerodynamic winglets, added just beneath the lights, reduce front lift and improve contact with the road. Normally, just adding winglets would generate extra drag, but through repeated testing, the adverse impacts were eliminated, and the final design minimises the degree of drag while offering the rider a planted front-end feel. The winglets reduce front-wheel lift by 6-7% in a straight line, and when combined with the front-end spoiler beneath the M-duct, this effect is increased to approximately 10% during cornering. SUPERSPORT LEVEL HANDLING: SUSPENSION Yamahas Supersport machines are renowned for their handling ability, and this remains true for the R9. The front and rear shock are both newly designed KYB suspension components set-up specifically for the machine and developed alongside the 2025 R1 GYTR and R1 RACE. The new 43mm KYB inverted front forks have been fully re-designed and now feature individual adjusters for rebound and compression damping on the left and right fork tubes. Each can be adjusted individually, with the right tube for rebound damping and the left for compression, both high-speed and low-speed. Each fork leg now features a base valve, designed to optimise pressure in the cylinder by limiting or entirely preventing oil from flowing into the bottom of the fork. This new lay-out results in an improved damping response, enhanced contact feeling and better all-round stability. And a Kashima coating darkens the gold/bronze colour with true performance aesthetics. The rear shock is adjustable for preload, rebound damping, compression damping and the new layout contributes to highly precise damping, offering greater feedback from the track or road surface. RACE-DERIVED BREMBO BRAKING SYSTEM The R9 features race-derived Brembo Stylema monoblock calipers, which are light, rigid and are designed to provide better control and stability. The stainless steel mesh brake hoses and large 320mm front discs offer excellent consistency and a controllable feel, especially in prolonged use and under heavy braking. Taking the R9s stopping power to the next level, the Brembo radial master cylinder features a piston which moves in a direction parallel to the brake lever travel, applying pressure in a linear manner as the rider pulls the lever resulting in a refined feeling of control. The lightweight Stylema calipers produce their stopping power through four 30mm pistons and are designed to allow an optimised air flow for efficient cooling, reducing brake fade on track. SPORTY COMFORT: OPTIMISED RIDING POSITION True to its Supersport style, the R9s riding position is designed to be sporty, with race-style clip-on handlebars, but to cater for the different levels of track-day riders, as well as spirited rides on the road, the points of contact between the motorcycle and the body have been developed to allow riders of various builds to freely move around on the bike. The distance from the handlebars to the riders hips is optimised to avoid an excessive forward-set posture, and the seat height of 830mm offers accessibility to a wide range of riders. The footpegs are positioned to offer more space and avoid cramping of the legs. HANDLEBARS The handlebars are clip-ons mounted below the triple-clamp, providing the kind of front-end load youd expect from a Supersport without too much of an aggressive forward-lean. The positioning is sportier than the clip-ons found on the R7, but more relaxed than those on the R6 RACE, offering greater suitability for different kinds of riding. FUEL TANK The 14-litre fuel tank provides enough cruising range in road use, while also maintaining a narrow width to offer optimal rider-machine unity. The tank shape is designed to provide ample grip for the riders outside thigh and arm while cornering, with the goal of providing a sense of stability and connection while midcorner. SPORTS-FOCUSED BRIDGESTONE TYRES The R9 is fitted with Bridgestones Battlax Hypersport RS11s, boasting track-level performance tuned for use on public roads. These sports tyres offer an incredibly high performance thanks to a high level of grip, cornering stability and contact feeling. NEWLY DESIGNED HANDLEBAR SWITCHES WITH ALL-NEW USER INTERFACE The R9s switchgear is both intuitive and easy to use, with a focus on minimising the number of buttons to operate a wide range of functions. The button shape and feel during use have been extensively refined to provide optimal operation while riding wearing gloves. CRUISE CONTROL & SPEED LIMITER For convenience when riding longer distances, the R9 is fitted with a cruise control system, which can be activated when riding at speeds of 40km/h and above in third gear and higher. After the cruise speed is set, it can be increased or decreased in increments of 1km/h with single pushes of the switch, or continuously by holding down the switch. Cruise control can be cancelled either at the touch of a button, the brake, the clutch or the throttle. Riders can also set a speed limit for their machine, which controls engine output to ensure the machine does not exceed the selected speed. SOPHISTICATED R1-BASED ELECTRONICS AND YRC MODES Developed directly from the electronic systems on the R1, the R9s high-tech sixaxis IMU constantly measures acceleration in the forward-backward, up-down and left-right directions as well as the angular velocity in the machines pitch, roll and yaw directions. The IMU is able to send data in real time to the ECU, which controls the suite of electronic rider aids and in turn alters the machines behaviour depending on the level of support the rider has chosen. INTEGRATED RIDING MODES Riders can customise their riding experience via the Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) settings, which allow the rider to select engine power characteristics and the level of electronic support to suit their preferences and riding conditions. Three integrated riding modes, Sport, Street, and Rain featuring factory settings with different levels to suit various conditions are complemented by the option to pre-set two Custom modes, and four Track modes. This allows the creation of specific YRC settings to suit certain situations or conditions by altering the level of electronic support such as Power delivery (PWR), Traction Control (TCS), Slide Control System (SCS), Brake Control (BC), Back Slip Regulator (BSR), Engine Brake Management (EBM) and front wheel Lift Control (LIF), all of which can be set directly through the R9s YRC settings screen or via Yamahas YConnect smartphone app. For optimal race starts, the R9 also features a launch control system, which supports riders when launching and accelerating from a standstill. And for track usage, there is the option to turn off the rear ABS. THIRD GENERATION QUICK SHIFT SYSTEM Yamahas third generation Quick Shift System (QSS) allows clutchless upshifts and downshifts, with Setting 1 enabling these when accelerating (for upshifts) and decelerating (for downshifts) while Setting 2 also allows downshifts while accelerating and upshifts while decelerating, providing greater functionality in a wider range of scenarios. DISPLAY & CONNECTIVITY The R9s full colour 5 TFT display can be customised between four selectable themes, while a track-mode displays information only relevant when riding on track, including lap-timer. SMARTPHONE NOTIFICATIONS AND DATA TRANSFER The R9s display can be connected to a smartphone via Yamahas MyRide app, through the bikes onboard Communication Control Unit (CCU). The app can be used to modify YRC settings, allowing the creation of new YRC modes even when away from the bike. Up to 40 different mode setting variations can be saved on the app to suit a particular road or track conditions, and then uploaded to the bike when in range. An integrated full navigation system is also available through the Garmin StreetCross app. And users can show various information and images on the display, including phone calls, text messages and weather updates. Y-TRAC FEEL LIKE A RACER! The Y-Trac app elevates the Supersport experience, enabling riders to improve their track riding and performance through tools usually only available to professional racers. Derived from racing, the Y-Trac app offers the possibility to log and analyse riding data with professional-level technology for all levels of riders, from novice to pro. With the Y-Trac app, lap and sector times can be logged as well as machine data including lean angle, engine rpm, gear position, speed, throttle position and the levels of support from the electronic support systems, such as traction control. GPS location data input can be via a riders smart phone, but should the rider want to use a GPS unit on the bike, Y-TRAC can be linked to the Garmin GLO2. Y-Trac also offers the option for a Virtual Pitboard, where the riders pit crew can send messages to their dashboard while out on track. R9 owners can sign up for a free trial version of the app or subscribe to the premium subscription.

Wed, 09 Oct 2024 00:00:00 BST https://www.5-ways.co.uk/yamaha/news/r-future-is-herethe-new-r1-race-and-r1-gytr R HISTORY Yamaha took part in its first motorcycle race within weeks of the companys inception in 1955, as the Y-A1 Yamahas first ever motorcycle - took to the Mount Fuji Ascent Race, securing victory in its first attempt. Since then, racing has been deep-rooted in Yamahas DNA. Across the globe, Yamaha has won an abundance of races and championships, from the grass roots of club racing to the elite, premier class of Motorcycle Grand Prix. And while the taste of victory is sweet, each step Yamaha has made in the ultracompetitive racing world has influenced, inspired and filtered down to every motorcycle Yamaha has produced. No range has benefitted more from Yamahas racing activities than its Supersport models. From MotoGP-inspired design to technology developed in the championship-winning Yamaha WorldSBK programme, each Supersport model is defined by Yamahas racing roots. None more so than the iconic R1. A game changer when first introduced in 1998, the R1 has won both races and hearts in its almost-three decades of existence. The introduction of the crossplane engine in 2009, followed by the MotoGP-derived electronics package and styling in 2015, saw the R1 offer customers a glimpse into the life of a Yamaha MotoGP rider and over the past decade, the R1s race results speak for itself. Since 2015, the R1 has won a Superbike World Championship, two Endurance World Championship titles, eight All Japan Road Race Championships, eight MotoAmerica titles, three British Superbike Championship crowns and two German IDM Superbike championships. And to this day, the R1 continues to fight for podiums and victories in the WorldSBK and EWC championships, as well as competing for title glory in various national series Over the last decade, the European motorcycle market has seen significant changes as the needs of riders have evolved, and with emissions regulations becoming stricter, the Supersport category has taken a new direction. In line with this, the R1s future and development will be fully focussed on racing and track-use in Europe. The 2025 R1 RACE is the embodiment of this commitment. Taking a step even closer to the YZR-M1 Grand Prix machine which inspires both the R1s aesthetics and technology, the R1 RACE features MotoGP-inspired aerodynamic winglets, upgraded suspension and an all new Brembo braking system to offer the ultimate track riding experience. MOTOGP-INSPIRED AERODYNAMIC WINGLETS The R1 RACE features MotoGP-style aerodynamic winglets fitted to the top of the main fairing. Designed and developed from the technical feedback from the Yamaha Factory Racing MotoGP team, the new winglets maximise the effects of the R1s anti-wheelie electronics as well as improving front-end feel and feedback when braking and cornering. Made from carbon fibre to add as little weight as possible while ensuring strength and rigidity, the winglets not only generate downforce, but also offer an increased feeling of stability and take the R1s look one step closer to the modern MotoGP style without compromising the streamlined and evocative R1 design. NEW GENERATION KYB FRONT FORK The R1 RACEs new 43mm KYB inverted front forks have been fully re-designed and now feature individual adjusters for rebound and compression damping on the left and right fork tubes. Each can be adjusted individually, with the right tube for rebound damping and the left for compression, both high-speed and low-speed. Each fork leg now features a base valve, designed to optimise pressure in the cylinder by limiting or entirely preventing oil from flowing into the bottom of the fork. This new lay-out results in an improved damping response, enhanced contact feeling and better all-round stability. A new Kashima coating darkens the gold/bronze colour with true performance aesthetics. RACE-DERIVED BREMBO BRAKING PERFORMANCE To enhance the R1s track capability, the R1 RACE is fitted with an entirely new front braking system consisting of a Brembo master cylinder and Brembo Stylema monobloc calipers. Responsive and high performing, these new brakes take the R1s stopping power to the next level. The radial master cylinder features a piston which moves in a direction parallel to the brake lever travel, applying pressure in a linear manner as the rider pulls the lever resulting in a refined feeling of control. The lightweight Stylema calipers produce their stopping power through four 30mm pistons and are designed to allow an optimised air flow for efficient cooling, reducing brake fade on track. REVISED SEAT OFFERS IMPROVED RIDING EXPERIENCE Racing is all about finding those extra tenths on track, so engineers are looking for performance gains in all areas. For this reason, the R1 RACE features an all-new seat cover material with a new texture, which offers greater grip while still allowing the rider to shift their weight easily. In cornering, this helps the rider feel more connected to their R1 and adds to the feeling of stability from the chassis. PROVEN CP4 ENGINE The renowned 998cc CP4 engine, with its uneven 270o-180o-90o-180o firing sequence delivers strong, linear torque. Featuring a high-efficiency intake system along with specially designed finger-follower rocker arms, this race-developed engine delivers optimal track performance. The engine, derived from Yamahas YZR-M1 MotoGP machine, produces 200PS with a strong connection between the throttle and the rear wheel, making the R1 controllable and intuitive to ride. YAMAHA CHIP CONTROLLED THROTTLE (YCC-T) WITH APSG The R1 RACE is equipped with the proven Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T), which continues to utilise an Accelerator Position Sensor Grip (APSG) ride-by-wire unit which is both lightweight and provides the rider with excellent throttle feeling. The APSG is comprised of a spring, slider and gear to produce various degrees of resistance, replicating the natural and progressive throttle feel offered by a traditional cable. SOPHISTICATED RACE-DEVELOPED ELECTRONICS PACKAGE The R1 was one of the first motorcycles to feature MotoGP derived intelligence in the form of a 6-axis IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit). Equipped with gyro and Gforce sensors which monitor pitch, roll and yaw as well as an accelerometer to measure fore-aft, up-down and left-right acceleration the IMU transmits machine status data 125 times per second to the ECU, which controls the R1s sophisticated electronic rider aids including Traction Control (TCS), Slide Control (SCS), Brake Control (BC), Lift Control (LIF), Launch Control (LCS) and a three-mode Engine Brake Management (EBM). On top of this, the R1 RACE also features Yamahas Quickshift System (QSS) and Power selection modes (PWR).

For over a decade, the GYTR accessories have been strategically developed with speed in mind by the same result-hungry engineers responsible for Yamahas reputation for racing success. This includes the team behind Yamahas championship-winning efforts in both the Superbike World Championship and EWC. Offering optimised and balanced performance, each R1 GYTR is built and delivered by one of Yamahas specialist GYTR PRO Shops to meet FIM Superstock 1000 regulations. Designed to offer the essential base for racing, the R1 GYTR can be further customised to meet each individual riders needs as they strive for the next level of superbike performance. Offering an improved power output across the rev range, the R1 GYTR offers refined track-focused performance for all ability levels and with a wide range of ECU adjustability, customisation to a riders feeling and specific performance targets can be more easily achieved. The ideal riding position can be enhanced through adjustable GYTR rear-sets and handlebars, while the R1 GYTRs agility is enhanced through the weight savings made by each GYTR component. The carbon-reinforced fibre glass lightweight and aerodynamic GYTR race cowl, including the new winglets, is available in black primer, and also includes a GYTR decal set, while a racing seat further enhances the riders manoeuvrability on the bike. Enhanced, race-level braking performance is offered with the pairing of the new Brembo Stylema calipers with Z04 racing pads, with the connection refined further with the R1 GYTR brake lines. Equipped with the GYTR Racing ECU and racing wiring harness, the R1 GYTR is a refined, track-focused weapon. In a further effort to improve performance, the R1 GYTR comes with an Akrapovi muffler ( Thu, 19 Sep 2024 00:00:00 BST https://www.5-ways.co.uk/yamaha/news/yamaha-demo-day-28th-september JOIN US HERE AT 5-WAYS ON 28/09/24 & GRAB A FREE TEST RIDE T-SHIRT We have some of the incredible 2024 Yamaha models available to test ride giving you a chance to see just how good this range really is.

INTRODUCING THE MT-09 Y-AMT The Yamaha MT-09 Y-AMT has been developed around the high-performance MT-09 platform, showcasing both the outstanding dynamics of the base machine and Yamahas new transmission technology. Featuring the same critically acclaimed 890cc CP3 three-cylinder engine as the newly launched MT-09, the MT-09 Y-AMT is the first motorcycle to incorporate the Yamaha Automated Manual Transmission. Retaining all the qualities which make the MT-09 a class leader, the MT-09 Y-AMT combines the standard machines agile handling and feisty performance with a transformational transmission system which allows the rider to choose between a finger-operated manual transmission, offering an even more engaged riding experience, and the pure convenience of a fully automatic gear change. The clutch and gear shift operation are each actuated by an electric motor, eliminating the need for both the traditional clutch lever and a foot operated gear shifter, allowing the rider to better focus on their riding flow. The MT-09 Y-AMTs manual transmission (MT) offers a completely new way in which to experience the thrill of Yamahas acclaimed CP3 motor. With a closer and more refined connection to the brain than the feet, the hands are one of the most tactile and powerful tools the human body has. Shifting by hand alone, as opposed to a foot-and-hand combination, is not only quicker, but requires less thinking time, allowing the rider to hyper-focus on throttle and brake application, lean angle, body position and tyre grip levels to intensify the ride, especially in cornering. MT has been developed with sporty riding in mind, allowing for quicker and more consistent changes as the rider looks to extract every degree of performance. Gear changes are activated through a tactile see-saw switch placed conveniently at the riders left-hand fingertips. Riders can either use their thumb and index finger to upshift with the plus lever, and downshift with the minus lever, or opt for a single-finger operation for sportier riding, using only the index finger to shift by pulling the plus lever to shift up, and pushing it to shift down for the ultimate sporty ride. With no clutch to operate, the rider can more easily time their gear shifts while focusing on their lines and other controls. With no traditionally mounted shift pedal, the rider is also better able to position their lower body through turns providing an excellent sense of stability while cornering and creating an even more reassuring connection with the motorcycle. At standstill and low speeds, the Y-AMT system controls the clutch and gearbox operation making the machine easier to control when moving off, performing manoeuvres and in heavy traffic. The system completely takes over gear shifting functions when in one of the two AT modes, but can be overridden using the see saw lever. The D+ mode unleashes the CP3 motors famous character, maintaining higher revs for longer as it changes up and down through the six-speed transmission. Alternatively, D mode delivers a softer and more confidence-inspiring fully automated gear shift to aid low speed and urban riding, ideal for commuting and on journeys where the rider wants to enjoy a more relaxing ride. Where previous generations of automatic gearboxes may have been aimed only at comfort and convenience, Y-AMT prides itself in enhancing the torquey and agile nature of the MT-09 delivering a more engaging experience for riders. Toggling between MT and AT modes is easy and can be done on the move by activating the button on the right-hand switchgear, allowing the rider to transform the nature of the MT-09 Y-AMT in a heartbeat. 2024 MT-09 Y-AMT: EXCLUSIVE TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS Manual shifting via finger-operated see-saw switch Automated clutch and gear shift actuated by electric motor Two automatic shift modes: D+ and D Smart Key System 2024 MT-09 & MT-09 Y-AMT: SHARED TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS Sharp and compact looks including re-designed bi-functional LED headlight 5 full colour TFT screen with smartphone connectivity and navigation Customisable riding experience via Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) settings Modify YRC settings via smartphone with MyRide app Engaged riding position Separated passenger seat unit Precise formed fuel tank Acoustic amplifier grille Latest 890cc, three-cylinder, four-valve DOHC liquid-cooled, EU5+ CP3 engine Six-axis IMU with full suite of lean sensitive rider aids Cruise control Brembo radial master cylinder Lightweight CF aluminium die-cast frame Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S23 M tyres Yamahas SpinForged wheels for agile handling Adjustable suspension for enhanced sports riding Adjustable brake lever SRP- 10,656 OTR The new MT-09 Y-AMT, as well as its 35 kW (A2 licence) version will be available with three colour options: Tech Black, Midnight Cyan and Icon Blue.

The game-changing MT-09 broke cover in 2013, just one year after the triple-cylinder CP3 engine concept was first shown suspended in an intricate wire frame at the Cologne Motorcycle Show. The first MT-09 brought pure emotion and excitement back to the world of motorcycling, kick-starting the Hyper Naked revolution that would change everything. For 2024, Yamaha has taken the MT-09 to the next level of Darkness, combining intelligence and style, further pursuing the sharpened purity of the Dark Side of Japan. The new MT-09 offers an even more thrilling riding experience with pure adrenaline, aggressive and edgy styling and a premium specification featuring the latest in technological advancements. A Decade of the Dark Side of Japan The introduction of the MT-09 marked a step away from conventional Japanese motorcycle design and introduced a bold, abstract new direction for Yamaha inspired by the unique urban motorcycle sub-culture found on the streets of Japans largest cities. Signifying an exciting new era for Yamaha, the MT-09 featured aggressive styling, a chassis designed for the most agile handling and a torque-laden CP3 engine, with aesthetics and performance designed to stimulate the senses. Stripped of unnecessary bodywork, packed neatly into a compact aluminium frame and equipped with Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T), the MT was the perfect blend of high performance, cutting-edge technology and purposeful functionality. The new dawn was here and the Dark Side of Japan was unleashed upon the world. MT-09 10,100 OTR New MT-09: Sharper, Purer, More Refined A Slimmer, Sharper New Look The MT-09 marks its 10th anniversary with a comprehensive new design intended to amplify the feeling of the CP3s iconic torquey acceleration. Based on the concept of 3D Riding, allowing the rider to move more freely on the machine, the 2024 MT-09 bodywork is inspired by Yamahas YZ motocross bikes, which also require a high degree of freedom in riding position. The styling concept behind the MT-09 has always been that of functional beauty, eliminating unnecessary features and embodying a less is more approach. Each and every detail has been re-considered to reinforce the MT-09s pure aggressive look and maximise an engaged riding experience. More Compact LED Headlamp A new LED headlamp, enclosed in a re-designed cover, creates a more unified relationship between the headlamp and the fuel tank and is inspired by the MTs origins a blend of Naked and Motard. The bi-functional LED projector headlight has been enhanced, featuring a compact diameter lense module that is both smaller and thinner than the previous model, but which still provides a broad and powerful beam with soft edges for both low and high beam settings. Transparent twin LED position lights express a cool look with a sense of concentration to complete the MT-09s more compact, sharp and aggressive style. This theme is continued at the rear with a newly designed LED tail-light. The tail-light and brake lights are separated to align with the new outer lens shape. And to give the whole rear a slimmer look, the upper tail-light lens is red, while the bottom has a smoked finish. Sharpened Fuel Tank Design A new fuel tank has been designed to promote a more engaged and free riding position while maintaining the sharp and edgy aesthetic that has become synonymous with the MT name. Produced using a new press moulding manufacturing method, the new tank offers sharper character with clearly defined edges and tense styling unique to the MT models. A More Engaged Riding Experience Amplified CP3 Acoustics Redefined Riding Position Details Matter: New Brake and Gear Shift Pedals Each and every detail of the MT-09 has been re-considered in order to further improve the riding experience. The rear brake pedal has been re-designed and is now made from forged aluminium, while the tip of the gear shift pedal has been significantly flattened to reduce the amount of ankle movement required during shifting, enabling smoother operation. Separated Rider and Passenger Seats Brembo Radial Master Cylinder: Linear Power, Total Control In order to match the MT-09s high torque and acceleration, stopping power is enhanced by a new Brembo radial master cylinder, which moves in the same direction as the brake lever resulting in a linear relationship between rider input and hydraulic brake pressure to the dual front brake discs for excellent controllability. In addition, a newly designed adjustable clutch lever offers the rider further control when engaging the clutch. Fully Adjustable Front Suspension and Bridgestone S23 Tyres Technical Highlights Sharper, more compact looks including re-designed bi-functional LED headlight New 5 full colour TFT screen with smartphone connectivity and navigation Customisable riding experience via Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) settings Modify YRC settings via smartphone with the MyRide app Handlebar and footpeg position modified for a more engaged riding experience adjustable into two positions Separated new seat unit Precise formed new fuel tank Acoustic amplifier grille Latest 890cc, three-cylinder, four-valve DOHC liquid-cooled, EU5+ CP3 engine Six-axis IMU with a full suite of lean sensitive rider aids now including Back Slip Regulator (BSR) Cruise control New Brembo radial master cylinder Third generation quickshifter New Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S23 M tyres Adjustable suspension for enhanced sports riding Lightweight CF aluminium die-cast frame Yamahas SpinForged wheels for agile handling Adjustable brake and clutch levers Colours Midnight Cyan 10,100 OTR Icon Blue 10,100 OTR Tech Black 10,100 OTR Tue, 31 Oct 2023 00:00:00 GMT https://www.5-ways.co.uk/yamaha/news/born-iconicthe-new-xsr900-gp The embodiment of Yamaha Racing history. The Sport Heritage range pays tribute to some of the most iconic motorcycles from Yamahas rich history by blending nostalgic design with the very latest in high performance engine and chassis technology. Each XSR model takes inspiration and design cues from some of the most significant bikes built by Yamaha in its 68-year history but sees no compromise in modern day performance by bonding this timeless beauty with cutting edge riding technology. Racing is in Yamahas DNA. Yamaha Motor Company has been competing in, and winning, motorcycle races since its inception pushing the limits of both man and machine. Yamahas first ever motorcycle, the YA-1, won the Mount Fuji Ascent Race in 1955 shortly after the company was founded. RRP 12,500 OTR First released in 2016, the XSR900 has long featured subtle hints to Yamahas racing pedigree and in 2021, the latest generation XSR900 went one step further with clear design cues taken from race machines of the 1980s and 1990s while maintaining its position as a heritage roadster. For 2024 the nod to Yamahas racing tradition takes another leap with the introduction of the new XSR900 GP, which pays homage to some of the most celebrated race machines from Yamahas illustrious past in a way never seen before in the Sports Heritage range. Combining a sense of 1980s Grand Prix nostalgia with the very latest technology including the iconic, torque-rich 890cc CP3 engine, R1-derived six-axis IMU and lean sensitive rider aids, the XSR900 GP embodies Yamahas Racing history without sacrificing modern day performance. A sense of nostalgia in every detail Aesthetically, Grand Prix bikes took a significant step in the 1980s, moving from the curvaceous bodywork of the 1970s towards the boxier design seen from the mid-80s onwards. These squarer fairings would set the trend for the next decade not only at Grand Prix level but in production bikes too. The XSR900 GP features an upper cowling reminiscent of this era, not only with a clear influence from the 1980s YZR Grand Prix bikes but also with notes of the FZR and TZR production sports machines of the late 1980s and early 1990s. To maintain the race-bike look, the XSR900s round LED headlamp is replaced by a compact lens module, neatly hidden in the front cowling, creating a sense of unity with the front fairing while maintaining excellent illumination. The bodywork is not only a symbol of the past in looks alone, but the method in which it is fixed in position is also inspired by the 1980s, with a tubed structure connecting the cowling to the frame and straight brackets supporting the dash creating a riders view with a genuine golden era feel. To emphasize the classic cockpit feeling, the upper fairing stay is supported by a nut structure identical to that used for the original TZ250. In true racing style, this structure is fastened with a beta pin, marking the first time Yamaha has used such a fastening on a mass-produced production model for public road use. The function behind the move from the curvaceous cowlings of the 1970s to the more squared off style of the 1980s was to both improve aerodynamic efficiency and protect the rider from the wind coming from higher performance; and this is no different with the XSR900 GP. While the windscreen and individual knuckle guards incorporate a taste of the 1980s; its not solely about looks. The power output and gear ratio of the 890cc CP3 engine is identical to that of the XSR900, but the front cowling structure of the XSR900 GP increases both acceleration and top speed while the ducts on the side panels efficiently discharge heat from the radiator to maximise cooling performance. The colour-matched seat cover fits over the passenger seat to complete the racer look with a boxy 1980s style rear end hiding the rear light, while a seat stopper on top of the seat cowling keeps the rider in position to enhance the feeling of acceleration. Colours reminiscent of the Rainey years Adorned in one of the most iconic Yamaha Grand Prix colours of all time, the XSR900 GP is available in a heritage livery inspired by the machines ridden by riders such as Wayne Rainey to multiple 500cc Grand Prix World Championships in the 1980s and early 1990s, complete with authentic yellow number boards on both front and rear cowlings. The Deltabox-style chassis and swing arm are finished in silver to better evoke the era of the 1980s prototypes and emphasize the character of the Deltabox style frame itself. A sportier ride Race-style clip on handlebars Separate clip on handlebars add to the racer-style cockpit and offer a sportier riding experience. The revised handlebars drastically change the riding position from the XSR900, moving the rider further forward on the machine into a sportier riding position, increasing the load on the front to offer the more precise feeling expected from a racestyle machine. However, since the model is not purely focused on racing or circuit riding, care has been taken to ensure the riding position does not lean forward excessively, instead offering a balance which can be enjoyed on the road without discomfort. The comfort is emphasized via a thicker, more supportive seat. The aluminium diecast footrests are adjustable to two different positions but come out of the factory set at the upper position to emphasise the sportier riding position. Tuned rigidity To accommodate the extra load on the front end of the machine, as a result of the more forward riding position, the XSR900 GP areas surrounding the frame have been tuned to optimise stability in turning. The subframe has also been reinforced over the one found on the XSR900. To further correspond with this front end-led riding style, the XSR900 is the only CP3 model to feature an aluminium steering stem shaft, adjusting rigidity in the steering area to better balance the often conflicting feelings of lightness and stability when changing direction or under rapid deceleration. In conjunction with the lightweight Spinforged wheels and new Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S23 tyres the rider can have precise confidence in placing the XSR900 GP exactly where they wish. Cutting edge technology High performance brakes and suspension In line with the mantra of blending yesterdays style with modern technology, the XSR900 GP boasts the latest in suspension and braking components. The KYB upside down front forks are fully adjustable for Preload and compression damping as well as rebound damping, so the ideal setup can be found for front end feel. The link-type rear suspension actuates a forward-inclined fully adjustable KYB shock virtually hidden from sight to maintain the slim and sporty performance at the rear. Remote pre-load adjustment makes customising the ride a simple task. A Brembo radial front master cylinder underlines the bikes cutting-edge specification and backs up its sporty potential, while the brake hoses have been optimised to improve braking control in sportier riding, especially under harder stopping forces. Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) Further maintaining the mix of nostalgic style with the latest in high performance technology, XSR900 GP riders can customise their riding experience via Yamaha Ride Control (YRC). For simpler use, engine power characteristics and rider aids are integrated to quickly allow changes to the level of electronic intervention depending on rider preferences and road conditions. Three pre-set integrated riding modes, SPORT, STREET and RAIN feature factory settings with different intervention levels to suit different conditions. These are complemented by two Custom settings, which enable the rider to manually select their own power and intervention settings for the various electronically controlled, leansensitive rider aids all of which can be set using a smartphone via the MyRide app. 5 TFT meter with full connectivity A new five-inch full colour TFT display is housed in the retro-styled cockpit. While riders can choose from four different themes to suit a range of mindsets, a traditional analogue-style tachometer theme, inspired by race bikes of yesteryear truly enhances the period riding experience. For an enriched riding experience, smart phone connectivity comes as standard on the XSR900 GP via a built-in Communication Control Unit (CCU), ensuring riders can stayconnected while riding by linking their smart phone with their machine via the free MyRide Link app. As well as seeing call and message notifications on the 5 TFT display, a new dimension is added to the ride by the possibility of taking calls and listening to music via a Bluetooth headset*. Once connected, riders can also make use of the integrated Garmin StreetCross navigation system which will display Turn-By-Turn navigation on the 5 TFT dashboard. There is also the option to provide power to external devices by the new USB Type C socket located near the dashboard. *Bluetooth headset not included with bike New ergonomic switchgear New integrated handlebar switch assemblies enable the rider to operate the wider range of functions of the new XSR900 GP including smart phone connectivity, navigation and riding modes as well as interrogating the various menu options. Featuring a clear, logical and simple design the shape, movement and ergonomic layout of the buttons have been designed with intuitive movement in mind, meaning riders can cycle through the different functions with ease. To aid navigation of busy road environments, a soft-click of the indicator switch will flash the turn signals three times for use when lane-changing or when only brief indication is required. A full-click of the switch will result in continuous flashing until 15 seconds has passed and when the machine has travelled more than 150 metres. A new Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) function reacts to sudden braking by engaging the hazard lights to warn road users behind the vehicle is stopping at speed in an emergency situation. Extra support from advanced six-axis IMU with lean sensitive rider aids Developed directly from the electronic systems on the R1, the XSR900 GPs high-tech six-axis IMU constantly measures acceleration in the forward-backward, up-down and left-right directions as well as the angular velocity in the machines pitch, roll and yaw directions. The six-axis IMU is able to send data in real time to the ECU which controls the suite of electronic rider aids, including the lean sensitive Traction Control System (TCS), Slide Control System (SCS) as well as a front wheel Lift Control System (LIF) and Brake Control System (BC). XSR900 GP also becomes the first Sport Heritage model to be equipped with the third generation quick shift system, enhancing the ride by enabling clutchless downshifts while accelerating and clutchless upshifts under deceleration in addition to the standard functionality.

Wed, 18 Oct 2023 00:00:00 BST https://www.5-ways.co.uk/yamaha/news/yamaha-announce-new-tenere-700-world-rally Yamahas ultimate high specification long distance adventure bike The newTnr 700 World Rallyrepresents the ultimate version of Yamahas long-distance adventure bike and can trace its heritage back to the very beginning of the worlds toughest race. The story began back in 1979 when Yamaha won the first-ever Dakar Rally. Inspired by this success and encouraged by the growing interest in long-distance rally events, the company embarked upon the development of a machine that would forever change the motorcycle world. Introduced in 1983, the original Tnr is recognized as one of the most influential and iconic motorcycles of the 20thcentury. Equipped with a large capacity fuel tank, rugged chassis and high torque engine, Yamahas first ever Adventure bike gave thousands of riders the opportunity to go to faraway places and discover new horizons. No other Adventure bike comes close to matching the pure racing heritage of the legendary Yamaha Tnr. Not only did it enable a whole new breed of moto adventurers to live their dreams it also inspired many riders to compete in the worlds toughest Rally events that have tested the rider and machine to the limit. Team Yamahas annual Dakar campaigns witnessed some incredible performances by desert specialists including Yamaha Motor France CEO Jean Claude Olivier and of course, desert legend Stphane Peterhansel who took six victories with Yamaha and ensured his name will live forever in the record books. To pay tribute to these riders and the machines they rode, Yamaha is launching a special version of the Tnr that blends true racing heritage with modern day performance.

Thu, 09 Mar 2023 00:00:00 GMT https://www.5-ways.co.uk/yamaha/news/tricity-125-latest-news Love the way I move: Practical, stylish, and easy to use commuter. Featuring a lively and economical new EURO5 Blue Core engine, together with a refined chassis for increased feelings of comfort and stability, the latest version of the popular Tricity 125 is the clear choice for commuters and urban dwellers who want a practical and easy-to-use scooter. Since its introduction in 2014, this high-quality three-wheel urban mobility vehicle has attracted a strong following amongst independent-minded riders with an eye for style and quality who appreciate its unique combination of compact dimensions, low weight, and the added confidence of a third wheel. For 2022, the Yamaha Tricity 125 is unique in being the only three-wheel model offered by any manufacturer in the important 125cc capacity class and being accessible with an A1 licence, this compact and agile scooter is an attractive proposition for riders looking for convenient and affordable urban mobility. Equipped with connected instruments that enable the rider to view smartphone and social media notifications, the Tricity 125 offers the mobility and agility of a conventional scooter combined with the class-leading ride quality and confident handling character associated with its three-wheel layout. New EURO5 Blue Core engine For 2022, the new Tricity 125 is equipped with the latest EURO5-compliant engine that has been designed and manufactured with Yamahas leading Blue Core technology that minimises emissions while ensuring highly efficient performance. Featuring a durable forged piston and a newly designed cylinder head, as well as a larger intake valve and increased compression ratio, the Tricity 125s new engine now benefits from Yamahas Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) technology that ensures good acceleration with lively performance and reduced fuel consumption. New Starter Generator Control Unit and Smart Motor Generator system The new Tricity 125 is equipped with a 32-bit Starter Generator Control Unit (SGCU) that fully integrates the new engines electrical and electronic functions, including fuel delivery, power generation and Start-and-Stop system to ensure more environmentally friendly performance. This SGCU also governs the engines new Smart Motor Generator system, which combines the functions of the previous models separate generator and starter motor into one compact unit. This new Smart Motor Generator system turns the crankshaft directly, eliminating the previous systems sound of meshing gears and thereby ensuring extremely quiet starts and restarts. Quiet and intelligent new Stop-and-Start system. The quieter and more efficient engine starting system is a particularly significant feature that complements the Tricity 125s new Stop-and-Start system to make this accessible commuter scooter less intrusive and more enjoyable to ride in urban traffic. The Stop-and-Start system is designed to shut off the engine when the Tricity 125 is stationary at traffic lights and the machine restarts automatically when the throttle is turned. For optimum efficiency, the SGCU constantly monitors riding conditions and prevents overly frequent stops and starts in situations such as congested traffic where the machine may be stopping and starting every few seconds. Stable three-wheel layout with twin leaning front wheels. What makes the Tricity 125 unique in the 125cc category is its three-wheel layout with twin leaning front wheels that give an increased feeling of stability, whether riding in a straight line or during cornering. The high levels of traction provided by two front tyres combined with the confident stance of the three-wheel layout ensures a unique riding experience, making the Tricity 125 an ideal choice for new riders as well for those who may be moving from two wheels to three wheels. Optimised LMW Ackermann steering layout Featuring the same basic linkage design as the system used on the prestigious NIKEN Sport Tourer motorcycle and the Tricity 300, the Yamaha-exclusive LMW Ackermann steering system on the latest Tricity 125 has been optimised for 2022 and features a revised layout with the lean axle slightly offset from the steering axle. This latest design ensures that the left and right front wheels always carve a concentric arc even in a deep lean, giving a more natural and intuitive feel and making it easy for riders to stick to their chosen line. The Tricity 125s two front wheels and the revised front-end linkage design promote feelings of riding confidence especially on wet or bumpy surfaces. This aspect of the Tricity 125s character is particularly significant for beginners with an A1 licence who are moving to the Tricity 125 from a car or public transport and who may have limited two-wheel riding experience. New frame for excellent riding comfort and feelings of stability The Tricity 125 is equipped with a new frame design that features a number of refinements, including a 60 mm longer wheelbase and revised engine mounts, which are aimed at achieving a better overall balance and giving enhanced comfort and riding enjoyment. While featuring the same fundamental layout as the previous model, the 2022 design benefits from increased levels of torsional and longitudinal rigidity, together with a finely tuned level of flex that contributes to the scooters natural handling feel. Together with the revised steering characteristics of the latest LMW Ackermann system, the newly developed frame gives an excellent ride quality with high levels of comfort even when riding on uneven or cobbled surfaces. Smart Key operation For added convenience, the Tricity 125 can be operated keylessly whenever the rider is carrying the Smart Key with them in a pocket, wallet, or bag. The machine detects the presence of the Smart Key and allows the rider to turn the power on and off, start the engine, release the handlebar lock, and open the seat. Its a small but useful feature that helps to make for a more enjoyable ride. Larger footboard area/improved passenger footrests/broader headlight beam Rider and passenger comfort is a top priority on the Tricity 125 and the 2022 model features a larger footboard area with increased space at the front, which enables the rider to adopt the most relaxing riding position. Another improvement is the fitment of newly designed passenger footrests that are easier to flip out from their folded-in position and for excellent night-time illumination, the headlights reflector has been refined to give a broader spread of light on both low and high beams. Uprated twin shock rear suspension For a high-quality ride together with excellent shock absorption properties, the twin shock rear suspension system has been refined to match the revised frame design. The overall length of the rear shocks is increased to give 90 mm of smooth and progressive suspension movement that ensures excellent rider and passenger comfort. The spring rate and damping strength have also been increased, resulting in stable rear suspension operation even when carrying a passenger and riding over poor-quality urban streets. Optimised Unified Brake System (UBS) For confident and controlled stopping, the Tricity 125 is equipped with a Unified Brake System (UBS) that automatically distributes the braking force to the front and rear wheels when the rear brake is applied. On the 2022 Tricity 125, the distribution of the braking force between the front and rear brakes has been optimised to ensure smooth and stable stopping power New LCD instruments with smartphone connectivity Tricity 125 riders can stay connected when theyre on the move by downloading Yamahas free MyRide app to their smartphone and pairing it with the scooter by entering the VIN number. Once connected, the rider can view real-time notifications for incoming calls, social media, email and text messages from their smartphone on the new LCD instruments enabling them to stay in touch. Tricity 125 owners can also use the MyRide App to view a range of data like fuel consumption. Its also possible for riders to compare riding data with other Yamaha MyRide users and share their riding experiences and export journey information, as well as link up with other MyRiders to view photos, compare routes and check out new places to go. The new connected instruments are developed from the design used on the larger Tricity 300 and feature a range of easy-to-read machine running information, as well as the previously mentioned smartphone notifications. The new design underlines the shared technology in the Tricity range and reinforces the premium look and feel of this unique commuter.

On the 10th of March unveiled the Yamaha NEO's which is a new 50cc Electric equivalent, bringing a new design to an older name. For 2022, the new generation electric NEO's is Yamahas first 50cc equivalent mass-produced electric scooter to be released in the European market and this affordable new zero-emissions model is ready to play its part in the transformation of urban mobility in European towns and cities Pure, sporty and with universal styling The NEO's has always been known for its simple, universal yet attractive styling and the new electric model comes with smart new bodywork with an upright style and minimal front and rear overhang to give this new scooter a distinctive character of its own. The compact body features soft, rounded forms that enhance the relaxed feel and convey the easy-to-ride character of this ultra-quiet zero-emissions scooter. Surrounded by white rings that give a fresh, understated, and contemporary look, the new full LED twin-eye headlights are inspired by the iconic face of the original NEO's. In addition to its aesthetically pleasing design, the NEO's comes with practical touches that underline its role as a daily urban commuter. Not only do the rubber mouldings applied to the outline of the interior give the NEO's a stylish external appearance, but they also help to protect against minor knocks and scuffs, as well as covering various fasteners to give a sleeker finish. The NEO's is available in two simple and effective colours that perfectly capture its understated yet strong character: Milky White and Midnight Black. In both cases, a dedicated Aqua colour intended to become the signature of Yamaha EV is used as an accent on the battery cover and as the colour for the 3D NEO's logos NEO's White Side NEO's Black Side NEO's White Rear NEO's Black Rear Yamaha Integrated Power Unit (YIPU) smooth, quiet, and efficient The new NEO's is driven by the latest generation Yamaha Integrated Power Unit (YIPU) that has been developed using the extensive knowledge gained by the company during the development of pioneering electric scooters including the Passol and EC-03 over the last three decades. At the heart of this compact direct drive wheel hub is a newly developed air-cooled brushless electric motor that delivers high levels of torque for smooth running, strong acceleration, and extremely quiet operation. A key feature of this second generation YIPU is its highly efficient gearless design that significantly reduces transmission power losses typically associated with gears and drive belts. Another significant advantage of Yamahas direct-drive design is that it virtually eliminates mechanical noise for extremely quiet running to give a relaxing and enjoyable ride and with fewer moving parts, running costs are kept to a minimum. The innovative YIPU design doubles up as the rear wheel hub and incorporates the rear braking system and the unit is mounted directly to the rear wheel rim. A single sided swingarm contains the Motor Control Unit (MCU) that governs power output and the rear wheel rim can be easily removed for tyre replacement by the removal of five bolts. Smart, simple, economical, and reliable, the new NEO's is an ideal choice for anyone who is looking for an affordable next generation zero-emissions scooter for daily commuting and general urban mobility. Removable Yamaha lithium-ion battery Weighing just 8 kg and located below the seat in the centre of the chassis is a 50.4V/19.2Ah lithiumion battery that provides a high-power output to the rear wheel. Developed and produced in-house by Yamaha, this high energy density battery gives a range of approximately 37 km on a full charge when tested in WMTC Class 1 in STD mode and has a battery temperature of 25C. Supplied with one battery as standard equipment, the NEO's is equipped with the connector and housing for an optional second battery that can extend the range to approximately 68 km. Charging can be carried out with the battery fitted to the NEO's or when removed for convenient indoor charging. The NEO's is supplied with a purpose-built portable battery charger designed to be plugged into a domestic socket and takes approximately 8 hours to reach full charge. Selectable ride modes for various riding conditions NEO's riders can choose from two different ride modes depending on conditions and individual preferences and it's easy to change modes on the y using the switch on the right handlebar. STD mode delivers the highest power output of 2.06kW @ 40 km/h and is designed for general use on average roads. ECO mode is aimed at reducing battery consumption and is best suited to longer rides where achieving maximum range is desirable. In ECO mode, the maximum power is reduced to 1.58kW at 30 km/h and top speed is limited to 35 km/h while power output is reduced across the entire speed range to extend battery life for a range of approximately 38.5km* on full charge. *Yamaha research. This range changes by place, riding style and battery degradation. Connectivity via Yamahas MyRide smartphone app NEO's riders can stay connected when riding the new generation NEO's by downloading Yamaha's free MyRide app to their smartphone and pairing it with the Communication Control Unit (CCU) on the scooter by simply using a QR code or VIN number. The connected LCD instruments feature icons that display real-time notifications of incoming calls and messages from the users smartphone, ensuring that every NEO's user can keep in touch with friends, family, and work colleagues.

Fri, 11 Nov 2022 00:00:00 GMT https://www.5-ways.co.uk/yamaha/news/new-tracer-9-gt-sport-touring-model-from-yamaha Ride at the cutting edge Yamaha Sport Touring models give riders across the globe the chance to live their dreams and explore the roads of life whenever they feel the need to escape from the everyday realities. Whether its a weekend break or an ambitious long distance tour, the TRACER 9 range has the performance, comfort, and versatility to satisfy every riders lust for travel. The very special formula of a high-torque 890cc CP3 engine, lightweight aluminium chassis, natural ergonomics and a luggage-ready design makes sure that these bikes are ready to get up and go whenever required. Now Yamaha are ready to take the TRACER concept into an exciting new dimension with the most sophisticated Sport Tourer ever manufactured by the company. Building on the strengths of the existing models, the new TRACER 9 GT+ comes with a range of best-in-class technology that is designed to transform every ride by providing a previously unimaginable degree of versatility and control. Featuring fully integrated cutting edge electronics including a millimetre wave radar, Adaptive Cruise Control, radar-linked Unified Brake System, electronic suspension and intelligent riding modes as well as connected TFT instruments and fully integrated for Garmin navigation the new TRACER 9 GT+ is ready to introduce a new era of control that will take the Sport Touring experience to the next level. Technical highlights New and updated features New Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) New radar-linked front/rear assisted Unified Brake System (UBS) New millimetre wave radar New 7-inch full-colour TFT meter instruments New smartphone connectivity New Garmin enabled full-screen navigation Refined and integrated KYB electronically controlled suspension New Communication Control Unit New integrated riding modes New ergonomic handlebar switch clusters New USB A outlet Refined height-adjustable riders seat and new seat cover material New clear smoke front/rear brake fluid reservoirs Dedicated colouring and finishing Refined sidecase mounts with damper system New 3rd generation quickshifter for seamless acceleration Larger diameter rear disc brake Revised rear caliper, rear master cylinder and rear brake pedal Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) TRACER 9 GT+ is the first Yamaha to be equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), and this advanced new system offers all the advantages of cruise control together with the ability to automatically maintain a fixed distance from the vehicle ahead. With a conventional cruise control system if the rider is getting closer to a vehicle in front, they need to deselect the system or apply their brakes which automatically disengages the system. However, with the new ACC system an inbuilt millimetre wave radar constantly measures the distance from the vehicle immediately ahead of the TRACER 9 GT+. The ACC automatically controls cruising speed, deceleration, and acceleration to suit the road situation as it evolves. The ACC is adjustable, and when the machine is in motion its rider can select one of four different following distance options to suit their individual preferences, displayed as one bar for shortest following distance, and four bars for the longest following distance. ACC offers a number of advantages, including reducing rider fatigue by requiring fewer rider inputs, as well as ensuring improved ride quality by maintaining a constant following distance, and also promoting smooth traffic flow. When the ACC system is active the new 7-inch TFT meter displays a green icon (with grey for standby) and shows between 1 and 4 white bars beneath a car icon to confirm the selected following distance. When the ACC determines that the rider is too close to the vehicle in front or if it senses that the machines current acceleration/deceleration status will soon lead to the rider getting too close, rider intervention request icon appears on the meter to notify the rider that appropriate action is required to avoid following too close. ACC operates between 30 km/h and 160 km/h in 1 & 2 gears from 30 km/h, in 3 & 4 gears from 40 km/h, and in 5 & 6 gears from 50 km/h. Speed can be increased and decreased in either 1 km/h or 10 km/h increments by pushing once or holding down the adjustment switch. ACC is deactivated by braking or gripping the clutch lever for more than 1 second, or rolling forward the throttle twist grip, beyond the throttle stop. This easy to understand ACC status is shown in all screen modes including navigation mode and provides an additional rider aid that is designed to enhance the riding experience, particularly on busy highways. Additional ACC functions As well as maintaining a pre-selected following distance, ACC also features cornering assist whereby it inhibits speed increases when the system detects that the machine is cornering, and if the radar detects a vehicle ahead it will also limit the level of acceleration when following. The ACCs passing assist accelerates the TRACER 9 GT+ more smoothly than normal when it senses that the bikes flasher is turned on and the motorcycle is performing an overtaking manoeuvre. ACC is also integrated with the engine, and electronic suspension, and in order to maintain the pre-selected distance to the vehicle ahead, the engine braking and brakes are activated in that order to slow the bike. At the same time the electronic suspensions damping force is adjusted to reduce excess pitching when brakes are applied to maintain chassis stability. With its ability to intervene automatically and adjust levels of speed, throttle opening, engine braking, braking and suspension when following a vehicle as well as when cornering and overtaking the sophisticated ACC provides a natural and seamless riding experience. Used for the very first time on a Yamaha, this best-in-class electronic technology takes highway comfort to a whole new level. The easy to operate ACC reduces the riders mental and physical inputs and gives enhanced comfort and convenience for an unrivalled ride quality, making the TRACER 9 GT+ Yamahas ultimate Sport Tourer. Yamaha Tracer 9 GT+ Icon Performance Yamaha Tracer 9 GT+ Power Grey Radar-linked front/rear assisted Unified Brake System As the flagship model in Yamahas Sport Touring line, the TRACER 9 GT+ has been chosen to debut a range of innovative new best-in-class technology including the motorcycling worlds first ever radar-linked Unified Brake System (UBS). The new system is an active design that offers increased controllability by using data from the millimetre wave radar and the 6-axis IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) to assist and regulate front and rear braking forces, via the Bosch hydraulic unit that optimises control and bias of the braking system. There are three main elements to the radar-linked Unified Brake System that operate only when the BC (Brake Control) is turned ON. Firstly, brake assist intervenes when the system detects that a collision is imminent. Secondly, front/rear brake assistance adjusts braking forces to both wheels for stable deceleration. And thirdly, cornering brake control automatically adjusts braking force to inhibit tyre slippage when the machine is leaned over. The radar-linked, Unified Brake System constantly analyses following distance data from the millimetre wave radar. If the system calculates that the riders braking inputs are insufficient to prevent a collision with the vehicle ahead it will increase brake pressure to the front and rear wheels to help slow the TRACER 9 GT+. The previously described ACC system will also automatically slow the TRACER 9 GT+ when a preselected following distance is reached, but as soon as the rider applies the brakes the ACC is deactivated and at this point the radar-linked Unified Brake System will intervene if it determines that the riders braking inputs are not sufficient to prevent a collision. The system provides additional braking assistance and will only intervene when the BC is turned ON and the rider is braking it is not a collision avoidance system. The second element is the front/rear assisted Unified Brake System that adjusts front/rear braking force distribution. When only the front brake is used by the rider the hydraulic unit automatically applies braking force to the rear wheel, with the degree of intervention calculated using IMU data related to changes in acceleration and lean angle. When the only the rear brake is used the system will sometimes but not always apply additional braking force to the front wheel via the hydraulic unit depending on the brake pedal input and IMU data regarding the bikes attitude The third element is the cornering brake control. This is in effect a cornering brake control system that considers machine running data from the IMU and instantly adjusts the riders braking forces to inhibit tyre slippage. The radar-linked Unified Brake System is linked to the electronic suspension, and as well as assisting and regulating front and rear braking forces it also adjusts front and rear suspension damping to maintain chassis stability. ABS always operates whether the BC is turned ON or OFF. Millimetre wave radar Both the new Adaptive Cruise Control and the radar-linked Unified Brake System use data from the new millimetre wave radar that detects the distance of the vehicle immediately ahead of the motorcycle. Weighing only 200g, this compact, integrated radar unit is situated behind a new protective cover at the front of the TRACER 9 GT+. New 7-inch full colour TFT meter TRACER 9 GT+ riders have a choice of three different screen themes with the new full-colour TFT high luminosity meter. Each screen theme is designed to convey a different feeling to suit different riding styles and varying personal preferences. With options giving a clean, contemporary look, a stripped down sports style with or a visual identity inspired by Yamahas Jin-Ki Kanno development ideal, there is a visual theme to suit each rider. In all three meter themes the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is featured prominently, enabling riders to instantly see the systems distance setting and selected cruising speed. New smartphone connectivity For an enriched riding experience smartphone connectivity comes as standard on the TRACER 9 GT+. A Communication Control Unit enables riders to link their smartphone with the machine using Yamahas free MyRide app. The connection can be made via USB*, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, and once connected the rider can view information on incoming calls, emails, and messages on the TFT instruments. Riders and passengers can also listen to music and respond to calls with a Bluetooth-connected headset*, adding a new dimension to every ride, whether long distance touring or commuting to work. TRACER 9 GT+ riders can also view a range of menus and functions using the new ergonomic controls on the left handlebar, and when the bike isnt moving its new high luminosity 7-inch TFT screen is able to display everything from weather reports to detailed notifications. *Not included with the TRACER 9 GT+ New Garmin full-screen navigation capability Garmin full-screen navigation can be easily installed, all the rider needs to do is connect their smartphone via the free MyRide app and download the Garmin Motorise app**. A full-screen navigation window can be opened on the connected TFT instruments, and the TRACER 9 GT+ rider can select from a choice of different types of routes such as fastest, shortest, highway and more and spoken turn-by-turn directions can be sent to a paired Bluetooth-connected headset*. Map data is downloaded to the smartphone and so the rider can still access navigation even when the smartphone signal may be temporarily lost in certain locations. Navigation functions include real time traffic, estimated time of arrival, and alternative routes to avoid congestion. Other useful functions are the distance that can be ridden with the remaining fuel, and real time updates display local weather information as well as the weather situation at the chosen destination, and a weekly weather forecast. Garmin Motorise also includes rider alerts that provide information on potential hazards such as sharp bends and prevailing speed limits are displayed. Theres also a Photoreal junction view that is automatically displayed in a split screen format when approaching a junction, giving information on the best lane to use for the next exit. The Garmin Motorise app can be operated by a joystick and home button on the left handlebar while the machine is stationary but the app is locked and cannot be operated when the motorcycle is moving. *Not included with the TRACER 9 GT * * Garmin Motorise requires a subscription service agreement. New 3 generation quickshifter integrated with ACC Unlike conventional cruise control systems which disengage when a rider uses the clutch or shifts gear, TRACER 9 GT+ riders can change gear using the new 3 generation quickshifter even when the ACC is active. This new cutting edge Sport Tourer is the first Yamaha to be equipped with the 3 generation quickshifter that gives an even wider range of functionality by allowing clutchless downshifts when accelerating and clutchless upshifts when decelerating. For example, if the rider is cruising with ACC active at 100 km/h in 6th gear and is then automatically slowed by a car in front, the rider can downshift to suit the reduced riding speed without the ACC disengaging. Similarly, when cruising downhill with ACC in a lower gear the rider can shift up to reduce engine braking without losing ACC. n order to retain a natural riding feeling the 3 generation quickshifter will not operate in certain situations where engine rpm is extremely low or high, and also when the machine is neither accelerating nor decelerating. In these circumstances the quickshifter icon on the new TFT instrument meter will indicate whether or not the quickshifter can be used, and once the speed or rpm is changed the system will resume operation Integrated KYB electronically controlled KADS semi-active suspension The TRACER 9 GT+ is equipped with the most advanced electronic control technology to be found on any production Yamaha motorcycle, underlining Yamahas commitment to the Sport Touring category. The new generation KADS (KYB Actimatic Damper System) electronically controlled suspension system has been developed jointly with KYB and is designed to provide exciting sports performance together with an extremely comfortable ride. This fully integrated front and rear suspension system is governed by the 6-axis IMU which monitors various sensors and automatically adjusts the damping forces via the Hydraulic Unit (HU) and Suspension Control Unit (SCU). KADS can be set in Sport or Comfort mode and is able to adapt itself to a wide variety of riding styles by constantly adjusting damping forces to suit the prevailing riding conditions. By analysing IMU data including the bikes lean angle and acceleration, this sophisticated suspension system delivers a high quality ride with unmatched roadholding and elevated feelings, providing levels of confidence that confirm the TRACER 9 GT+ as Yamahas ultimate Sport Tourer. Like every other electronic system featured on this highly capable motorcycle, the KYB suspension is fully integrated to always ensure stable handling performance, and it operates in conjunction with the ACC, front/rear assist Unified Brake System, as well as the radar-linked Unified Brake System and brake control. The electronically controlled suspensions handling characteristics are also affected by the Integrated riding modes selection, and damping settings are instantaneously adjusted via a solenoid to achieve a smooth and comfortable ride in a variety of load and riding conditions. Integrated riding modes TRACER 9 GT+ benefits from a refined D-Mode (the engine character selection) that is now fully integrated with the machines 6-Axis IMU and comprehensive suite of lean-sensitive rider aids. Previously D-Mode (the engine character selection) has operated completely separately to the various electronically controlled rider aids which required individual adjustment. This new system is more intuitive, being much easier to understand and use on-the-y. The rider has the option to select one of four integrated riding modes options: Sport, Street, Rain or Custom all of which now work in conjunction with the engine character selection (D-mode), the traction control, slide control, lift control and electronic suspensions damping control to ensure enhanced controllability in a wide variety of riding situations. The Sport, Street and Rain selectable options feature embedded factory settings with different intervention levels to suit different conditions, and these pre-set modes have been developed by Yamahas designers using feedback from test riders. The fourth Custom option enables the rider to manually select their own intervention settings for the various electronically controlled rider aids and save it as their tailored mode. New ergonomic handlebar switch clusters Newly designed handlebar switch assemblies employing a joystick and home button enable the rider to operate the wider range of functions, including smartphone connectivity and navigation. Both the right and left side clusters feature a clear, logical layout and simple design and their ergonomic layout gives smooth thumb movement for easy and intuitive operation. The switch clusters are back-lit for easier identification and use in the dark. Refined height-adjustable riders seat and new seat cover material The height adjustable riders seat is upgraded with new padding and a revised shape for increased comfort. While a new leather-style cover is used to enhance the overall feeling of quality and pride of ownership of this flagship Sport Tourer.

The world has changed dramatically in the last few years, and this motorcycle gives everyone the chance to rediscover the freedoms that were taken for granted. Equipped to go further than any previous Tnr, and featuring the most advanced specification that includes state-of-the-art suspension for added confidence and comfort, improved ergonomics, rally-inspired styling and multi-mode instruments with an incoming call and text message notifications, the Tnr 700 World Raid is a motorcycle that can make the world seem a much smaller place. Twenty-three-litre capacity dual side-mounted fuel tanks The Tnr 700 World Raid is Yamahas most extreme long-distance adventure bike with the ability to go further than ever before. Adventure riders are fearless characters who are always looking for the next challenge, but the one thing thats always at the back of every long-distance riders mind is the availability of fuel in a remote environment. The new 23-litre dual side-mounted fuel tanks are designed to bring peace of mind on the longest trip and eliminate the range anxiety that every rider has experienced when the reserve light starts to flash. In typical usage conditions, these new tanks are estimated to be able to give a range of up to 500 km, giving a higher level of autonomy that makes the Tnr 700 World Raid a master of the wilderness. The unique twin side-mounted design offers a number of significant advantages compared to simply making the tank higher and wider in order to increase its capacity. By having two separate tanks that are positioned lower, and locating the fuel pump in a lower position in one of the tanks, the bikes centre of gravity can be kept almost the same as with the existing Tnr 700 that has a 16-litre tank helping to maintain agile handling despite the increased weight of a larger fuel load. The vehicle mass is further centralised, with an ideal weight distribution between front and rear. An important feature of this new layout is that the highest point on the new twin side-mounted tanks is lower than the top of the tank on the Tnr 700, reducing the height difference between the tank and seat to give a much flatter profile for increased rider mobility and easier front/rear weight shifting when riding off-road. Another benefit of this dual tank design is that the movement of the fuel is limited, compared to a one big tank layout and this gives benefit especially while cornering. And finally, the Tnr 700 World Raids dual side-mounted fuel tanks are not only a reminder of the bikes desert rally heritage but are also clear evidence of the DNA this new adventure model shares with some of Yamahas most successful factory race bikes. Flat seat for improved rider agility As well as the reduced height of the new dual tank design, the Tnr 700 World Raid also benefits from a new 890 mm high seat that gives a much flatter profile for a smoother transition between the seat and tank. This design enables the rider to move backwards and forwards with minimal effort when shifting their body weight to maintain control on rough terrain, and the new ergonomics are suited to both sit-down and stand up riding positions. The seats two-piece design allows for the easy removal of the rear section to enable the fitment of accessories such as a rack or luggage. The seat is made from two different kinds of leather, with a high grip zone in the centre and a smoother zone that enables freedom of movement while riding. Five-inch colour TFT meter with mobile connectivity The new 5 colour TFT meter is linked with the bikes Communication Control Unit (CCU) which talks to the MyRide app, giving connectivity in the form of text messages and incoming call notifications that are displayed on the instrument panel and mobile battery status is displayed as soon as a connection is established. This connectivity and the ability to identify any technical issues that need rectifying provide added peace of mind and reassurance to adventure riders, especially when they are taking part in long-distance trips in unfamiliar territory. Access to the relevant information is crucial on every long-distance expedition, and Tnr 700 World Raid riders can choose from three different themes on the new 5 colour TFT meter. The Explorer screen layout features a modern digital design that provides all of the machines key running data in a contemporary and easy to read style. The Street screen features a tachometer with a circular dial and needle that give a more conventional look from the analogue era, and the Raid screen is inspired by a typical rally racing roadbook and features two independent countdown tripmeters that enable the rider to see the distance to the next waypoint. Located to the right of the dashboard area there is a USB type-A socket that can power navigation systems or charge mobile devices. Three-mode on/off-roadABS For optimal controllability in varying riding conditions, the new Tnr 700 World Raid is equipped with three-mode ABS that can be selected when the bike is stationary, via a specialmenu available in the meter, operated by the right handle switch. Mode 1 is fully on, with both wheels benefitting from ABS as required legally while riding on public roads. Mode 2 and 3 have been introduced for non-public road riding. In detail, Mode 2 (a new function developed for Tnr 700 World Raid) is front-wheel on, rear-wheel o????, and this is the recommended mode for terrain such as gravel tracks, where low levels of grip are likely to be experienced. Mode 3 is fully off, suitable for experienced riders who want to enjoy pure off-roadriding. The instrument panel shows when Mode 2 and Mode 3 are active, and the rider can return immediately to Mode 1 at any time when moving or standing still by pressing a button on the left side of the instrument panel. High specification 43 mm KYB front forks, 230 mm travel For refined off-roadhandling performance, the suspension system on the Tnr 700 World Raid features a number of significantupgrades. Newly designed 43 mm KYB front forks give 230 mm of wheel travel 20 mm more than the Tnr 700 offering increased shock absorption potential on rough terrain. The new forks are equipped with a spring preload adjuster, in addition to the rebound and compression damping adjusters and air bleeding screw already featured on the Tnr 700, enabling the rider to set the suspension to suit different terrain and loads. For increased durability with reduced internal friction, the longer travel 43 mm front forks feature a resilient Kashima coating applied on outer tube, with a distinctive dark bronze colour, while lightweight fork internal components are used in order to minimise weight, despite the longer stroke. hlins steering damper For better controllability particularly in o???? road riding situations an hlins steering damper is fitted as standard equipment. The mounting position is close to the top triple clamp, allowing the rider to quickly adjust the unit to his preferred levels of feel and feedback on a variety of terrain, thanks to 18 different damping settings. Tnr 700 air cleaner box The Tnr 700 family has a new air cleaner box, specifically designed to handle the extreme off-road terrain that this long-distance adventure bike is built for. The Tnr airbox has been equipped with a forward-facing intake duct that is designed to prevent ingress of dust and debris thrown up by the rear wheel. High-torque EU5 CP2 engine Yamahas iconic 689cc liquid-cooled in-line two-cylinder engine is the driving force behind the new Tnr 700 World Raid. Featuring a 270 crankshaft that gives it a characteristic uneven offering sequence, this crossplane concept CP2 engine is renowned for its strong linear torque output as well as its ultra-responsive and easily-controllable performance that makes it so enjoyable and rewarding to ride at all speeds. Compact dimensions and low weight make the CP2 unit ideal for the demands and requirements of adventure riding and with a linear torque delivery providing plenty of low to mid-range pulling power, this rugged, reliable and economical engine is particularly suited to the varied on and off-road terrain typically encountered by adventure riders. Already proven with the bestselling Tnr 700, this engine is one of Yamahas most legendary powerplants, with more than 221,000 CP2-engined units sold since its introduction. Full spec aluminium piggyback rear shock, 220 mm wheel travel The rear suspension has also been upgraded to match the new front forks and features a revised linkage design with a piggyback type shock absorber with a longer stroke. The rear suspensions damping characteristics, spring rate and linkage ratios have all been optimised in order to give a comfortable ride on the road together with the ability to take some hard hits during off-road exploration. For consistent damping performance, the new shock features an aluminium body for good heat dissipation, while the separate piggyback type oil reservoir prevents cavitation and like the forks, the new shock gives 20 mm more wheel travel, and is fully adjustable for spring preload, as well as compression and rebound damping. A new rubber bumper has been introduced as well to increase performance on energy absorption in case of bottoming. Higher windscreen, easy-to-remove side deflectors LED flashers and front cowling For additional wind protection on long-distanceadventures, the bike is fitted with a 15 mm taller screen with easy-to-remove side deflectors and LED ????ashers are original equipment. The front panels surrounding the radiator and the interior panel around the cockpit area are manufactured from tough fibreglasscomposite material. These are designed to be able to handle rugged off-road riding. Larger footrests Yamahas designers have developed the Tnr 700 World Raid to the highest specification without compromise. New larger footrests underline this close attention to detail. The larger surface area gives a greater grip for the riders boots, and also reduces pressure on the soles when riding on extreme terrain. The larger surface area also prevents mud and sand build-up, and the removable rubber inserts improve the boot/peg stability in wet conditions. By removing the rubbers inserts, the footpegs become rally-race oriented components, in terms of look and performance. New three-piece aluminium engine guard For increased protection when riding off-road, the bike is fitted with a new three-piece aluminium engine guard that helps to prevent accidental damage caused by rocks, stones and any other debris. Thanks to new suspensions with longer stroke, ground clearance is 250 mm. New radiator grille To ensure that the radiator maintains its high levels of cooling efficiencyduring off-road riding, a new radiator grille is fitted. Featuring vertical louvres like Yamahas off-road competition models, this new grille is designed to protect the radiator from debris thrown up by the front wheel.

Tue, 02 Nov 2021 00:00:00 GMT https://www.5-ways.co.uk/yamaha/news/yamaha-unveil-2022-new-60th-anniversary-colourway Yamaha has announced a new colourway to be breaking into the 2022 years line-up, along with black and blues, there will be an 'Anniversary Edition' Celebrating 60 strong years of racing on the world stage. Starting from 1961 to the present day. The following read will tell you all about it, and as to why Yamaha have chosen these models, and these new colours. 1961-2021: 60 years of World Grand Prix racing for Yamaha Racing has been an integral part of Yamahas DNA from the day that the factory was incorporated on 1 July 1955. At the time, the company proved its products on the racetrack just days after Yamaha Motor Company was founded, when the YA-1 won the Mount Fuji Ascent Race at its very first attempt on 10 July. Spurred on by this success, Yamaha entered its first international race at Catalina, USA in 1958. By now, the company was developing some of the most competitive two-stroke machines, and the decision was made to experience the ultimate test of rider and machine by entering the 250cc RD48 race bike in the World Championship Grand Prix round in France in May 1961. Competing at the highest level put the company firmly on the map and marked the beginning of the brands transformation into one of the worlds most successful and innovative motorcycle manufacturers. Just two years after Yamahas debut GP, Fumio Ito took the brands first-ever GP win on the RD56 at the Belgian Grand Prix, and the company has never looked back since that day. 1964 saw Yamaha win its first World Championship as well as its first Constructors title with Phil Read in the 250cc class, the first of many victories in that decade. It was the beginning of an incredible journey for everyone involved in the companys race programme, and during the past 60 years, Yamaha has established itself as one of the most successful manufacturers with over 500 Grand Prix race wins, along with 38 rider titles,37constructor titles and 7 team titles. Yamahas historic racing colours In 1964 the competition department debuted their 250cc Grand Prix racer with a new white fairing with a solid red stripe and red front fender. It proved to be a good omen, and factory rider Phil Read went on to win Yamahas first ever world title. This bold, simple and dynamic red/white colour scheme soon established itself as the instantly-recognisable Yamaha look in Grand Prix road racing, and was the forerunner to Yamaha speed block: arguably the most famous and best-loved colour scheme ever featured on a racing motorcycle. A white fairing with red speed block rapidly established itself as the definitive Yamaha racing colour scheme in Europe for the next two decades right through to the Rainey and Lawson era. The incredible public reaction to the recent unveiling of the factory M1 with its special 60th Anniversary speed block colours demonstrates that it is one of the companys most evocative colour schemes that are popular with riders and fans of all ages. Simple, dynamic, timeless and instantly recognisable, speed block will forever be associated with Yamaha and its highly successful GP campaigns from a very special era in the companys history. New R-Series World GP 60th Anniversary models To celebrate Yamahas long and illustrious Grand Prix racing history, the company has created a World GP 60th Anniversary livery for the 2022 R1, R7, R3 and R125 models. Just like Yamahas famous World Championship winning machinery, the World GP 60th Anniversary R1, R7, R3 and R125 feature pure white bodywork with a strong horizontal red stripe and white vertical lines creating the red speed block. This authentic race bike colour scheme features an all-red front fender and gold-coloured wheels just like winning Yamahas factory bikes and this timeless look is completed with a yellow front number plate, an anniversary emblem and a red stripe running along the top of the fuel tank and the tail. Since Yamaha made its GP debut in 1961, the company has achieved over 500 Grand Prix race wins with legendary riders including Read, Ivy, Saarinen, Agostini, Roberts, Lawson, Rainey, Lorenzo and Rossi, and more recently Quartararo and these historic racing colours highlight the connection between Yamahas race bikes and every R-Series model. World GP 60th Anniversary model highlights - White bodywork with red speed block graphics - Special 60th Anniversary emblem - Red stripe along the top of tank and tail - Red front fender - Yellow front number plate - Golden wheels Now, after that read, if you're thinking, when, where and how much there are no firm answers as of yet. All Yamaha have said is that they will be becoming available from December 2021, but no prices have been released as of the time of writing, but if you have any further questions please inquire. Thu, 16 Sep 2021 00:00:00 BST https://www.5-ways.co.uk/yamaha/news/new-yamaha-r7-launched New Yamaha R7: Adding a new dimension to R/World Price: R7 Icon Blue and Yamaha Black 8,200 OTR R7 World GP 60th Anniversary 8,500 OTR Availability: November for the Icon Blue and Yamaha Black colour schemes Enquire here now While there is always going to be a place for the legendary R1M, R1 and R6, the arrival of the new R7 makes R/World a reality for many younger riders who yearn for the Supersport lifestyle. Powered by Yamahas outstandingly successful and much-loved CP2 engine that is famous for its strong and linear torque delivery as well as its reliability and low running costs the new R7 is ready to shake up the middleweight market. Clothed in exquisitely crafted bodywork and featuring an extremely high specification that includes radial-mount front brakes, inverted forks and an A&S clutch, the R7 is a new kind of motorcycle that offers exciting Supersport performance with outstanding handling and aggressive R-Series style and all of this at a highly competitive price. Light, compact and agile, this stunning looking machine is designed to give its rider the highest degree of control and the biggest fun factor in its class whether theyre riding on the track or on the street. This Supersport really is within the grasp of every rider who wants to be a part of R/World. R7 is a new reality, and have a significant impact on the Supersport world. 689cc CP2 engine: Sports performance with everyday fun With its clear focus on pure riding excitement, accessibility and affordability, the new R7 represent an exciting new dimension to the R-Series Supersport family. Regarded as one of the most characterful, responsive and reliable designs in its class, Yamahas successful 689cc CP2 engine is the perfect powerplant for this new model. Featuring a 270-degree crankshaft that gives an uneven firing sequence, the 4-stroke inline 2-cylinder DOHC 4-valve liquid-cooled CP2 engine delivers strong and linear torque across a wide rpm range, making it a lively performer in all gears and at all engine speeds. Maximum power of 73.4PS is produced at 8750 rpm, and more significantly the maximum torque is achieved at 6500rpm, giving the R7 extremely strong standing start and roll-on acceleration while the uneven pulses of the 270-degree crankshaft create a very real feeling of mounting excitement as the revs rise. Dedicated changes to the existing CP2 engine include a new ECU specification and optimised air intake ducts, as well as a revised exhaust design and idealised fuel injection settings. These measures work to enhance controllability and deliver a smooth and responsive throttle response, contributing to the enjoyable torque-rich riding experience of the R7 while also achieving full EU5 compliance. In addition to these dedicated modifications, the R7 also runs a slightly reduced secondary gear reduction ratio to give a sportier character with stronger acceleration. A&S clutch: Ultimate controllability A key new feature on the R7s CP2 engine is the adoption of an Assist & Slipper (A&S) clutch that delivers smoother gear shifting and prevents engine over-rev and rear-wheel hop during hard braking, resulting in more predictable and controllable handling when approaching corners. Another advantage of the R7s A&S clutch is that it provides a significantly lighter feel at the lever, approximately 33% less than a standard clutch. Optional Quick Shift System: Seamless upshifts for full-on acceleration R7 riders can choose to have an optional Quick Shift System (QSS) fitted to their new Supersport by the supplying Yamaha dealer. This simple but effective QSS features a switch positioned on the gear shift rod, and when any upshifting movement is detected the ECU instantaneously cuts power to the transmission for a few milliseconds, allowing for faster and smoother full-throttle upshifts for even more exhilarating acceleration. Slim and lightweight frame: Ultra-responsive handling with agile cornering Slimness and compactness are two of the defining characteristics of the R7, and this new Supersport features a lightweight backbone style frame that is designed to deliver responsive and agile handling together with fast and nimble directional changes. A rigid mounted aluminium centre brace contributes towards the bikes sharp handling performance on the track and road, and the high tensile steel frame uses tubing of varying strengths in key locations in order to achieve an idealised rigidity balance. Fully adjustable 41mm inverted forks: Easily set up for track or road. A great deal of attention has been paid to the design of the R7s new suspension package in order to achieve an accurate front end feel during cornering and braking. The new 41mm inverted front forks provide a high level of stability together with confident roadholding on racetracks and twisty roads. And to ensure a firm and predictable front end feel, a gravity cast upper triple clamp and forged aluminium lower triple clamp are featured. The R7 can be set up by the rider to suit different conditions, and these Supersport class forks are fully adjustable for preload as well as compression and rebound damping. With the compression function located in the left fork leg and the rebound function in the right leg, adjustments are quick and easy to make. For precise handling with accurate feedback, the R7s high specification inverted forks give a steep caster angle of 23.7 degrees with a 90mm trail and with a compact 1395mm wheelbase and a 51/49 front/rear-wheel weight distribution, this new Supersport is built to corner hard and fast. Newly designed link-type Monocross rear suspension The R7 adopts a redesigned link-type Monocross rear suspension system with damping characteristics and a spring rate, that are designed to suit the sporty character of the bike. Being horizontally mounted, the shock contributes towards mass centralization that enhances handling agility and is easily adjustable for preload and rebound damping, enabling the R7 chassis to be quickly set up for track or street use. Supersport riding position: Clip-ons, rearsets and solo-style riders seat The R7s sporty riding position is the result of many hours of test riding by factory riders, and the use of clip-ons confirms the bikes genuine Supersport DNA. After experimenting with a wide variety of bar/seat/footrest configurations, the final result is designed to give a sporty yet adaptable riding position that allows plenty of freedom of body position to master different riding situations especially race tracks and twisty roads. An important feature is the seat design which is narrow around the riders inner thighs and wider at the rear, allowing maximum freedom of movement. The back sweep and drop angle of the clip-on handlebars and the positioning of the rear seats have been carefully considered in order to realise a tucked-in riding position that enables the rider to achieve optimum control together with the greatest possible aerodynamic efficiency. The ability to tuck tightly into the machine is enhanced by the deeply indented tank cover, and these knee pockets also enable the rider to grip the bike during braking and cornering. The solo-style seat features a bump-stop design with a passenger pad on top of the tail, and the optional Yamaha Genuine Accessories seat cowl can be easily fitted to the R7 for riders who only go solo. Radial mount calipers & radial master cylinder: High performance with fingertip control The R7s genuine R-Series credentials can be seen in the high specification front braking system, featuring radial-mount 4-piston brake callipers that give accurate and uniform stopping power for the ultimate in fingertip control. This advanced front braking system also includes a Brembo radial master cylinder that delivers linear brake pressure for enhanced controllability. Ultra-athletic dimensions: The search for perfect control What makes the R7 such an attractive Supersport for a wide range of customers is the fact that it is designed to enable its rider to achieve a high level of control in many different situations. A key element that makes the R7 owner feel truly at one with their machine is its compact and athletic outline that allows the rider to be in charge of the machine, rather than the machine dominating the rider. With a wet weight of just 188kg and compact proportions, it means that the bike is highly accessible and riders can become an integral part of this new generation Supersport. Along with its mass centralised design, low frontal area and small moment of inertia, the compactness gives the R7 rider a feeling of total control that helps to elevate their riding and confidence to another level, while at the same time boosting the enjoyment of a track day experience, weekend ride or daily commute. Super-slim R-Series bodywork: Reduced air resistance for optimal performance The key to pushing any Supersport bike through the air most effectively is to keep its frontal area as small as possible, and this is where the R7 has a strong advantage. Its compact CP2 engine is one of the narrowest in the 700cc class, and the minimalist tubular chassis keeps overall dimensions to a minimum. These factors have enabled Yamaha to create the slimmest ever R-Series thats even narrower than the R3 and R125 making the R7 one of the most aerodynamically efficient bikes with a rider. The incredibly small frontal area not only makes the R7 one of the most stunning looking supersport models, but it also pays dividends in terms of performance. Producing the same maximum power as any other CP2-powered Yamaha, the aerodynamic new R7 is capable of achieving a significantly higher top speed of up to 15-20kp/h more. Evolving R-series face: Pure and aggressive as ever With its aggressive twin-eye glare and YZR-M1 MotoGP bike style M-shaped air intake, there can be no doubt in anyones mind that the R7 is a fully paid-up member of the R-Series family.

Yamahas Faster Sons philosophy is inspired by the past while looking firmly to the future, and it is an approach that strikes a chord with those free spirited riders who like to do things their own way. The whole Yard Built scene has been inspired and encouraged by the Faster Sons movement, and over the past 6 years the most respected custom builders from Europe and beyond have created many radical and thought provoking machines using a Yamaha Sport Heritage model as their starting point. New Yamaha XSR125: Timeless design for the modern commuter 11 May 2021 11/05/2021 New Yamaha XSR125: Timeless design for the modern commuter 2/6 With the current Sport Heritage range headed by the flagship 3-cylinder XSR900, closely supported by the 2-cylinder XSR700, the time is right to introduce a new model that will open up the Faster Sons way of life to a whole new audience. Designed and built to the same high quality standards as its older siblings, the XSR125 offers younger riders the opportunity to experience the unique riding experience and pride of ownership that comes with every XSR and with its premium build quality and proven Yamaha reliability, customers can be sure that this is a machine that will not let them down, and will retain a good used value. All-new XSR125: Commuting in style Commuting is about to become a lot more fun with the XSR125. Built to a high standard specification that includes Yamahas top-of-the-line engine as well as an agile handling frame and featuring state-of-the-art technology seamlessly intertwined with timeless heritage style this new lightweight is the youngest member of the Faster Sons family.

This sophisticated and highly reliable powerplant produces a full 11kW, the maximum permissible in the A1 licence category, making it one of the strongest performers in the class.
