Yamaha has boosted the midrange power of its dominant YZF-R6 in an attempt to broaden the appeal and performance of its 16,000rpm supersport screamer. The firm, keen to re-emphasise the R6 as the bike which benefits from race-derived technology first, still doesn’t give it a crossplane crank however.
The midrange-boost comes from tweaks to the variable intake stacks, airbox, a re-mapped ECU and altered exhaust system. No figures available yet and the colours shown aren’t confirmed as those for the UK.
Changes include:
Revised YCC-I (Yamaha's Chip Controlled Intake) funnels
Revised air box.
Revised "Mid Ship" 4-into-2-into-1 exhaust system
Revised ECU mapping
Hoping for more?
The changes to the R6 are significant compared to the competition, but if you were hoping for ever bigger developments you’ll have to wait til 2011.
