 |
The ultimate power cruiser delivers unmatched performance from its 65-degree, four-valves-per-cylinder, 1,679 cc V4�plenty of eye-opening, controllable acceleration from a compact engine that looks as powerful as it is. |
|
|
Downdraft four-bore fuel injection with YCC-I� intake technology and YCC-T� fly-by-wire throttle provide awesome acceleration throughout the broad powerband. |
|
|
Lightweight aluminum chassis puts the engine low and forward for mass centralization, resulting in a machine designed to handle curves as well as straightaways. |
|
|
Borrowing liberally from advanced sportbike technology, VMAX features a slipper clutch, wave-style brake discs, master cylinders, ABS, and complete suspension adjustability front and rear. |
|
|
Functionality and forward-thinking style uniquely combine with features like oxidized-titanium-coated 52 mm front fork tubes, magnesium engine side covers, fluorinated polyethylene fuel tank and the organic electroluminescence multifunction display. |
|
|
|
The thunderous 1,679 cc, 65-degree, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected four-valves-per-cylinder, DOHC engine pumps out astonishing power to reinvent the VMAX legend. |
|
|
The sportbike-proven Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake (YCC-I) switches nearly instantaneously between 150 mm and 54 mm intake funnels as needed for a broad powerband that delivers optimum performance at any rpm. |
|
|
Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T), the fly-by-wire system, delivers optimum acceleration under all conditions. |
|
|
Engine combines four-valve technology with a high 11.3:1 compression ratio, forged aluminum pistons and NGK� Iridium spark plugs with R1-type direct ignition coils to extract maximum horsepower from the fuel charge. |
|
|
Cams are driven by a combined chain and gear system to precisely control valves while keeping cylinder heads remarkably compact for such a large displacement engine. |
|
|
Hydraulically activated clutch includes racetrack-proven ramp-type slipper clutch system that makes braking from speed while downshifting smoother. |
|
|
Five-speed transmission has superbly spaced gear ratios to take full advantage of the engine�s awesome power in straight-line acceleration or through the canyons. |
|
|
Delivering this power cruiser�s muscle to the street means a beefy shaft drive just like its predecessor. Special shaft design includes two cross joints to accommodate the fat 200/50 R18 rear tire. |
|
|
The high-performance engine is cooled by two radiators for efficiency and clean looks. Lubrication is via a simple, reliable wet sump system. |
|
|
Four-into-one-into-two-into-four exhaust system with EXUP� delivers a broad, seamless powerband with the right VMAX look. |
|
|
The iconic VMAX aluminum intake covers are hand buffed by craftsmen for superb quality and individuality. |
|
|
|
The chassis is light and compact, with a cast aluminum main frame, CF die-cast and extruded aluminum rear frame and cast aluminum swingarm. The result is superb rigidity balance for both hard acceleration off the line and corner carving. |
|
|
Cartridge-damper-type front forks have substantial 52 mm inner tubes with oxidized titanium coating. Forks have both compression and rebound damping adjustability plus spring preload. |
|
|
Link-type Monocross� rear suspension has a piggyback reservoir and features compression and rebound clickers, plus remote preload adjustment. |
|
|
VMAX uses Brembo� master cylinders, the front with radial pump and reserve tank. Large 320 mm wave-style dual front discs are matched to radial-mounted mono block 6-piston calipers. On the rear wheel, there�s a 298 mm disc, also wave design, and single-piston caliper. These high-tech brakes also incorporate three-position ABS. |
|
|
Tapered handlebar provides a muscular 1-1/8 inch diameter look at the triple clamp while using conventionally sized controls. |
|
|
18-inch radial tires, 120/70 R18 front and 200/50 R18 rear, are mounted on cast aluminum five-spoke wheels. |
|
|
For mass centralization that contributes to the bike�s lean looks, the 4 gallon (15-liter) fuel tank is mounted under the seat, with the filler under the rider�s backrest. Tank is constructed of fluorinated polyethylene with superb permeability resistance. |
|
|
|
The Electronic Control Unit (ECU) uses three microprocessors to control fuel injection, ignition, YCC-T, YCC-I, meters and other electrical components. |
|
|
Distinctive key design reinforces the unique character of this new VMAX. |
|
|
The instrument panel includes an analog, step-motor driven tachometer and digital speedometer with LED indicator lights. Prominent LED shift timing indicator adds to the performance character of the new VMAX. |
|
|
Organic electroluminescence multi-function display provides a more precise display vs. LCD and includes clock, fuel meter, trip meter with fuel reserve trip meter, transmission gear position, coolant temperature, stopwatch and more. |
|
|
H4 60/55W headlight provides excellent visibility and distinctive style, while the trick-looking LED taillight is light, bright and highly efficient. |
|
|
Rare earth magnet AC magneto puts out a robust 420W at 5,000 rpm. |
