Comments

CONQUER ROAD
Yamaha has a rich heritage of building the most sought-after supersport motorcycles designed to deliver the pinnacle of performance on and off the track. The 2020 Yamaha R1 is forged from the technology and development gained from countless racetrack challenges, from MotoGP to the Canadian Superbike Championship. From crossplane crankshaft engines to revolutionary electronics such as the six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), Yamaha's historical achievements have become the future of R World.

REFINED CP4 ENGINE

The new 2020 R1 comes equipped with the next generation of Yamaha's unique 998 cc inline four-cylinder crossplane crankshaft (CP4) engine for refined performance. Returning features such as titanium fracture-split connecting rods and offset cylinders contribute to a responsive and potent character, while the cylinder head, fuel injectors, finger-follower rocker arms, and camshaft profiles are new for 2020.

RACING PEDIGREE

Based on 22 years of proven race-winning engineering, the 2020 Yamaha R1M and R1 are forged from the technology and development gained from countless challenges in MotoGP, World Superbike, and MotoAmerica Superbike races, and the grueling demands of Endurance World Championship racing.

MULTIFUNCTION TFT SCREEN

The R1 features a brilliant full-colour, thin-film transistor (TFT) instrument screen, with front brake pressure and fore/aft G-force readouts, giving the rider even more feedback from the machine. Choose either the street or track display mode, the latter of which focuses on performance information such as YRC settings (including new Engine Braking Management and Brake Control systems), a zoomed-in view of the tachometer in the upper rpm range, a lap timer, gear position indicator and speed.

NEW FOR 2020

Redesigned cylinder head, fuel injectors, finger-follower rocker arms and camshaft profiles
New ride-by-wire system with YCC-T
Brake Control (BC) and Engine Brake Management (EBM) for a total of seven electronic control rider aids

ENGINE

Ultra-lightweight, compact, 998cc, DOHC, 4-valve, liquid-cooled, in-line four-cylinder engine with "crossplane" style crankshaft.
The key components of this cutting edge engine design are the "crossplane" crankshaft and an uneven firing order. Both of these features are used on Yamaha's race winning M1 MotoGP racer. The R1 crossplane crankshaft locates the center two rods at a 90 degree plane from the outer cylinders. Instead of the crank pins aligned on the same plane (a straight line drawn through the center of the crankshaft), they align on 2 planes in the form of a cross... or "crossplane". Working in conjunction with the crossplane crank is an uneven firing order. This R1 engine fires 1,3,2,4 cylinders and the firing intervals are uneven at 270 / 180/ 90 /180 degrees. What all this means to the rider is the most linear torque possible and amazing throttle control. This engine design allows a whole new level of rider - machine communication. One of the most important benefits is the outstanding cornering performance that exceptional throttle control allows.
The key engineering goal for the R1 series is significant horsepower with excellent controllability, making the bike easier & more enjoyable to ride. The R1 is a "rider's machine".

ELECTRONIC RIDER AIDS... YRC

Many of the following rider assist aids are derived from Yamaha's MotoGP race efforts and help make the R1 more controllable & more enjoyable to ride. We call them Yamaha Ride Control or YRC.

At the heart of the "Yamaha Ride Control" electronic rider assist aids are the IMU or Inertial Measurement Unit & ECU. The IMU features six axis of measurement using a gyro sensor to detect rotational motion in the pitch, roll & yaw directions. A "G" sensor detects acceleration / velocity in the forward & back, up & down and left & right directions. The vehicle position information obtained from the two sensors including bank angle, pitch rate & sideways slide acceleration is sent to the ECU which in turn controls the five YRC systems (not including the quick shift system). These variables are calculated 125 times per second.
PWR: Power Delivery Mode is Yamaha's variable throttle control, which controls the throttle valve opening speed, enabling the rider to adjust performance characteristics of the engine based on riding preferences or riding / racing conditions. There are 4-power settings available from an enhanced race setting to a slippery condition mode with softer power characteristics.
TCS: Traction control system with lean angle sensor. System uses front & rear wheel sensors to detect slip & then adjusts / regulates power via the ECU / IMU to control rear wheel spin. In addition to detecting difference in speed between the front & rear wheels, the system uses input on the degree of bank / lean angle to adjust the degree of TCS intervention to an optimum level in relation to riding conditions in real-time. As the banking angle increases, the amount of TCS intervention also increases. When the TCS is disabled, SCS, LIF & LCS systems will automatically be shut down as well. There are 9 settings plus off.
SCS: Slide Control System controls engine power when side slip is detected. Power output is adjusted to an optimum level to control side slide. There are 3 settings plus off.
LIF: Lift Control System (a.k.a. anti-wheelie control) reduces time loss due to wheelies during closed course competition. System reduces front end lift during starts & hard acceleration. When the IMU and other sensors detect lift, engine output is adjusted to the optimum level to maintain strong acceleration without lift. There are 3 settings plus off.
LCS: Launch Control System is adopted to help ensure fast, strong, controllable starts in closed course competition situations. When the LCS is activated, it keeps engine rpm limited to approx. 10,000 rpm & maintains an optimum level of engine power in conjunction with inputs from the TCS and LIF systems, allowing the rider to concentrate on clutch engagement & other competitors, reducing stress associated with race starts. There are 2 settings plus off.
QSS: Quick Shift System provides smooth, fast upshifts even at full throttle. When the switch on the shift lever rod detects motion, it adjusts engine output & momentarily cancels out the drive torque to promote faster gear shifts. There are 2 settings plus off. System can be adapted to race shift pattern.

Front & rear brakes feature Yamaha's latest anti-lock brake (ABS) & variable unified brake (UBS) technology.
- main benefit of ABS is excellent control under hard braking or braking on wet or slippery surfaces
- when ABS system senses impending wheel lock-up (via active type wheel sensors) it regulates the hydraulic brake pressure to the point just before the wheel(s) lock-up
- UBS system "unifies or links" the front & rear brakes when the front brake is applied
- applying the front brake will engage the UBS and to a varying degree will apply some rear brake force too. The amount of rear brake force is based on the attitude & lean angle of the bike.
- if only the rear brake is applied, the UBS will not apply any front wheel brake force

Immobilizer ignition system is designed to reduce the possibility of "ride away" theft.
- system must recognize the "coded ignition key" in order for the unit to start
- if the immobilizer ignition does not recognize the key, the ignition system & starter will not function, even if the ignition is forced into the on position
