| Yamaha VMAX |
Main features:
The ultimate power cruiser delivers unmatched performance of its 65 degrees, four valves per cylinder-SPS-cylinder, 1679cc V4-plenty of revealing, controllable acceleration from a compact engine that seems as strong as it is .
Four-hole injection upset with YCC-I intake technology and YCC-T ® ™ fly-by-wire throttle provide awesome acceleration throughout a wide range of powers.
Lightweight aluminum chassis puts the engine low and forward for mass centralization, resulting in a machine designed to handle curves and straight lines.
Borrowing liberally from advanced sportbike technology, VMAX features a slipper clutch, brake discs wave style, master cylinders, ABS, and fully adjustable suspension front and rear.
Functionality and style combine with prospective unique features such as oxidized titanium coating 52mm fork tube, magnesium engine side covers, fuel tank polyethylene and fluorinated organic electroluminescent multifunction display.
Engine:
The thunderous 1679cc, 65 degree water-cooled, fuel injection with four valves per cylinder, DOHC engine pumps to the astonishing power to reinvent the VMAX legend.
Admission to sporting proven Yamaha Chip Controlled (YCC-I) switches nearly instantaneously between 150mm intake funnel and 54mm depending on the needs for a wide power band for optimum performance at all engine speeds.
Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T), a fly-by-wire system that provides optimum acceleration under all conditions.
Engine combines four-valve technology, a high compression ratio of 11.3:1, forged aluminum pistons and NGK ® Iridium spark plugs with R1-type direct ignition coils to extract maximum power, the fuel tax.

The cams are driven by a combined chain and the computer system to precisely control the valves, while maintaining very compact cylinder head for larger displacement engine.
Hydraulically operated clutch includes track tested with ramp type of slipper system that makes braking speed while climbing smooth.
Five-speed, which is sovereign gears spaced to enjoy the overwhelming power of the engine in linear acceleration, or through the canyons.
Provide the muscle power cruiser on the street means a beefy shaft as its predecessor. Special shaft design includes two cross joints to accommodate the fat 200/50 R18 rear.
The high performance engine is cooled by two radiators for efficiency and clean appearance. Lubrication is provided by a simple, reliable wet sump.
Four-in-one every two to four with the exhaust EXUP ® offers a wide range of uninterrupted power with the right VMAX look.
Blankets iconic VMAX aluminum intake is polished by craftsmen of excellent quality and individuality.
Chassis / Suspension:
The frame is lightweight and compact, with a cast aluminum main frame, CF die-cast and extruded aluminum rear frame and cast aluminum swingarm. The result is excellent rigidity balance for both hard acceleration off-line and corner carving.
Front shock fork tubes 52mm cartridge-type has a large interior with oxidized titanium coating. Holders that both compression and rebound damping and spring preload adjustment.
Monocross Link ® rear suspension features a piggyback reservoir and features compression clickers and rebound, preload adjustment, more distant.
VMAX uses Brembo ® master cylinders, the front with radial pump and reserve tank. Stylish wave twin front discs 320 mm adapted to mount radial piston monobloc 6. In the rear wheel, a disc of 298 mm, the design also wave and single-piston caliper. These high-tech brakes also incorporate three-position ABS.
Tapered head gives a muscular look 1-1/8 "in diameter 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 aluminum five-spoke.
For mass centralization that contributes to the viewing angle of the motorcycle, a 4 gallon (15 liter) fuel tank mounted under the seat, the load on the driver folder. The tank is constructed of fluorinated polyethylene with excellent resistance to permeation.
Additional features:
The electronic control unit (ECU) uses three microprocessors to control fuel injection, ignition, YCC-T, YCC-I, meters and other electrical components.
A key to the distinctive design confirms the uniqueness of this new VMAX.
Instrumentation includes an analog, step-by-engine tachometer and digital speedometer with LED indicator lights. Main LED indicator adds to the performance of time shifting character of the new VMAX.
Organic electroluminescent multifunction display provides a more accurate display than LCD and includes clock, fuel gauge, odometer, trip fuel, with reserves of a meter, gear position, coolant temperature, stopwatch and more.
H4 60/55W headlight provides excellent visibility and distinctive style, but the trick to look LED taillight is light, bright and highly efficient.
Rare earth magnet AC magneto puts a strong 420W at 5000 rpm.
