the good highlight of the new YZF-R1 is its engine. gaining an uneven firing order, the engine is said to iron out the spikes during hard accelareation .

the new floting panals are laid out specific manner to optimize faster cooling of the engine.the new headlight has traded the clear lens covers for exposed projector lamps. covering these units is new
ram-air intakes which are visible only to expets eyes.

THE COCKPIT

rigid.

FRONT SUSPENSION
The new forks borrow technical aspects from the YZF-M1.while being fully adjustable, the fork adopt sepreate damping channels. The right fork control the rebound while the left one controls the compression.by dediccating individual tasks to each fork.the new suspension allows for precise tuning

THE TAIL END
The 2009 R1now gets large tri-oval titanium exhausts which not only reduce weight but also adhere to stringent emission norms.unlike other japanese manufacturers,Yamaha has retained the underseat design for the exhaust.housed between the tailpipes is a reshaped LED tail light which addszing to the entire rear section

THE POWERPANT
The all-new 998cc engine now use a smaller stroke then its predecessor.the forged aluminium piston are mated to new connecting rodswhich are cast as a comlete piece and then split to achives optimum tolerance. the unit also featuer a crossplane crankshaft inspired from the yamaha M1. the design essentially arranges each crank journal go degrees apart on two different planes making for an uneven firing order which allows a linear power delivery and torque distribution. the engine is fed by mikuni injectors with 12-hole sprayers mated to YCC-T and YCC-I controllers
