A Communication Control Unit (CCU) enables checks of the various forms of machine information and simplifies the setting process in order to heighten the instrument panel’s function as a rider-machine interface. Comprised of the CCU and a GPS antenna, running data can be recorded via a data logger, and with the GPS function, the system also enables automatic lap time recording on circuit course.
Developed through extensive simulator and on-track testing, MotoGP®-inspired carbon fibre winglets create additional downforce for exceptional chassis stability and added front-end feel when braking or cornering.
Developed using M1 MotoGP technology, the 998cc engine features Bosch injectors that deliver a wide spray angle for increased efficiency. Specially designed finger-follower rocker arms and cam lobes give outstanding high rpm performance – and this EU5 crossplane engine also features a high efficiency lubrication system for optimum performance.
Riders are treated to even higher levels of fit and finish thanks to full carbon-fibre bodywork, matched to a polished aluminium swingarm and topped with a unique serial-numbered badge on top of the airbox cover.
The YZF-R1M comes equipped with a Quick Shift System that gives faster gear changing. This system instantly cancels drive torque when an upshift is detected - enabling full throttle clutchless upshifts for outstanding acceleration through the close ratio 6-speed transmission.
The YZF-R1M utilises the advanced Öhlins® ERS system, featuring the NPX gas-charged front fork. A dedicated suspension control unit rapidly adjusts the front and rear damping in real time for optimum suspension performance whether braking, cornering or accelerating.
