2015 Yamaha YZF R6 The R6 was born on the racetrack. Its MotoGP-bred technology is tuned to give you the kind of outstanding engine and chassis performance usually reserved for professional racers. The R6 is full of innovations and technology, you just won't find on the competitor's machinery. The YZF-R6 offers a significant level of power and performance. It is not intended for novice or inexperienced riders.ENGINEUltra-compact, lightweight, short stroke, 599cc, DOUBLE OVERHEAD CAMSHAFT, 16-valve, liquid-cooled, in-line 4 cyl engine with lightweight titanium valves produces incredible horsepower. Redline is set at an amazing 16,000rpm.67mm bore and 42.5mm stroke provide a fast revving powerplant. Engine width is minimized thanks to Yamaha's special casting technologies and ''liner less'' cylinder design.Compact ''pent roof'' cylinder head design features ultra lightweight titanium valves for both intake and exhaust. The intake valve angle is 11.5 degrees and the exhaust is 12.25 degress. The intake valves are 27mm in diameter while the exhaust valves are 23mm.Single intake valve springs reduce weight and ''friction'' for optimum high rpm performance. The valve retainers are made of lightweight aluminum.High flow intake and exhaust ports allow more fuel in and more exhaust out for great power delivery at all rpms.Lightweight magnesium cylinder head cover and case covers reduce weight.Separate cylinder block (the cylinder is not part of the upper crankcase) design utilizes ceramic composite plated ''liner less'' cylinder bores. The ceramic coating is sprayed directly on the aluminum block. The benefits are greater heat dissipation for consistent power delivery, reduced frictional power loss, reduced oil consumption and since there are no heavy liners, reduced weight too.Lightweight forged pistons feature thin top rings for great high rpm power. The pistons are secured by lightweight tapered type piston pins. The lightweight design means fast engine response.Lightweight crankshaft features 31mm bearing journals. The inertial crank mass has been optimized for excellent throttle response and impressive acceleration. The crank journal bearings feature special oil holes that increase the supply of oil for excellent durability.High lift / high performance, hollow, side-driven camshafts provide arm stretching power and strong acceleration.Automatic semi-hydraulic type cam chain tensioner reduces mechanical noise and maintenance.Closed loop Mikuni fuel injection system with 41mm throttle bodies features twin injectors (primary and secondary). This type of twin injector system is also found on our MotoGP M1 machine and the latest generation R1. Each of the injectors utilizes twelve spray holes to maximize the atomization process. The secondary injectors, located inside the air box, begin to function at mid rpms (6,000 to 7,000rpm) thru to redline. Special short intake tracts allow for higher rpms and improved power.Yamaha Chip Control Throttle (YCC-T) is another first for
