Source: YAMAHA

Any new, lightweight, powerful and bristling with knowledge gained after years of running, YZF-R6 is the most advanced production motorcycle Yamaha-or anyone else-has ever built.

The YZF-R6 is the first production motorcycle with a fly-by-wire throttle response system flawless in all conditions.

Straight framework concept developed from the Yamaha M1 GP machine, the YZF-R6 direction of the head, swing arm pivot and rear axle are all in a straight line for handling with a brand-new line of four cylinders designed to optimize the layout and mass centralization.

Slippers type back torque limiting clutch greatly facilitates braking / downshifting from high speed.
Formula 1-style management of the air this very small frontal area and excellent aerodynamics; new ram-air ducts costs and high pressure air in the head direction to optimize combustion, more power and strengthening cooling the engine.
50th Anniversary Special Edition model Yamaha famous race heritage classic black and yellow and delivered special badging.

Engine:
Compact and lightweight, 67 x 42.5mm 599cc DOHC 16-valve liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder features titanium valves, 12.8:1 compression and compact combustion chambers to produce maximum thrust at 14500 rpm and a ceiling of rev 17500 rpm.

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

Twin-injector fuel injection: shower-type injection above each intake funnel help achieve optimum fuel atomization at high rpm.
Back limitation couple slipper clutch greatly facilitates braking and downshifting from high speed. Close ratio six-speed transmission offers seamless power and maximum acceleration.

Despite the increase has brought, piston and pin weight has been reduced for more power and less vibration; 1mm smaller main journals reduce friction while 1 mm larger rod journals increase performance.

Compact oblique block engine design uses widely triangulated gearbox trees to make the GP derivatives, straight frame concept work; optimal weight distribution and excellent handling are the result.

GP-style titanium silencer contributes to the centralization of mass, and contains EXUP, an O2 sensor and catalysts for a great power, spot-on injection and EU-3 emissions compliance.

Linerless, direct-plated ceramic-composite cylinder bores mean greater heat dissipation for consistent power delivery and reduce friction also a narrow engine.

Cool magnesium valve and engine covers are light and elegant. Curve radiator with two cooling fans ring retains its freshness.
Coils direct ignition, dual-electrode candles and highoutput magneto deliver extremely accurate, reliable firing.

Chassis / Suspension:

Any new Deltabox aluminum frame incorporates GP thinking in terms of engine positioning and rigidity welcome to the next level of the 600 class handling.

MotoGP-52 ,5-style percent before-wheel weight bias can produce razor-sharp handling.

A new swingarm is 2.2 pounds lighter and pivots 20 mm higher in the frame, to increase anti-squat effect and mid-corner stability. TZ-type chain adjustment facility changing rear tires.

Four-adjustable (preload, compression high-/low-speed, depreciation and relaxation) inverted fork with 41mm tubes increases freedom in setting up the street or track; absorb the bumps and hollows resist braking.

Four-adjustable (preload, compression high-/low-speed, depreciation and relaxation) piggyback rear shock offers exceptional rear wheel tracking and stability.

Dual 310mm front disc brakes using false, a piece of mounting radial calipers and radial-pump front master cylinder with adjustable lever for incredible braking power and feel.

FC removable die-cast rear subframe is light and strong.

Super-light five-spoke 17-inch wheels are light and sound, casting technique makes the rim section light, not to mention wickedly cool-looking.

Other features:

Quick detach license plate and rear turnsignal mount prepare for track days or racing a snap.

Built in turn countdown is controlled by a handlebar right of way.

Multi-function digital and analog instrumentation features: programmable shift light, digital speedometer, analog tachometer, dual tripmeters with Miles-on-reserve function, odometer, gauge water temperature and lights for neutral, high beam, low fuel and turn signals.

Standard toolbox located in practical storage compartment under passenger seat.

OUR TAKE ON THE R6 YAMAHA 2006: In 2006, Yamaha R6 is the most refined R6 so far, elegantly carved and built to perform. The placement of new silencer is shorter and more compact than previous models, and a welcome change. The new R6 is available in three colors: black mat, yellow / black and blue / black.
