Features Renowned 890cc liquid-cooled CP3 engine with unique ECU tune and optimized gear ratio provides broad, torquey power delivery. Lightweight forged pistons allow for smooth, high-revving power. Forged connecting rods made using innovative fracture-split method ensure unparalleled degree of manufacturing accuracy. Offset cylinders reduce friction for more power and improved fuel economy. Direct-plated ceramic-composite cylinder bores provide excellent heat dissipation and reduced friction. Throttle valves governed by the Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) system enables finer actuation and precise control. Assist & Slipper clutch provides lighter clutch lever pull and smoother chassis behavior during downshifts. Third-generation Quick Shift System enables clutchless upshifts and downshifts under both acceleration and deceleration. Latest generation full-color five-inch TFT instrument display provides selectable themes and a wide range of vehicle data. Smartphone connectivity with Yamaha Y-Connect allows riders to link their smartphone to the new TFT display.

Lean angle-sensitive Traction Control (TCS) offers nine selectable intervention levels to suit rider preference. Three-level Slide Control System (SCS) detects lateral slides and adjusts power delivery to control cornering attitude. Three-level Lift Control System (LIF) detects front wheel lift and regulates power to maintain chassis attitude and forward drive. Lean-sensitive Brake Control (BC) System works with ABS to provide progressive brake force intervention. Two-level Engine Brake Management (EBM) system allows rider to adjust engine braking to suit preference. Back Slip Regulator (BSR) reduces rear wheel lock up under engine braking by controlling torque supplied to the wheel. Launch Control System (LC) allows track riders to dial in race starts when launching and accelerating from a standstill. Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) simplifies rider aids with selectable pre-programmed and customizable modes. Yamaha Variable Speed Limiter (YVSL) controls engine output to enable rider to set a maximum speed limit for their machine.
