FEATURES

Adjustable KYB Suspension

Adjustable KYB Suspension

High-spec KYB suspension units are specified – including a 43mm USD front fork with base valve and a rear shock with a low-speed valve – the first for a motorcycle. The shock generates linear damping for precise road holding and chassis stability.

Powerful CP3 Engine

Powerful CP3 Engine

The heart and soul of the YZF-R9 is its characterful 890cc liquid-cooled three-cylinder powerplant, which receives a unique ECU tune and optimised gear ratio to provide thrilling supersport power with a broader, torquey street-friendly engine character. A carefully tuned airbox amplifies induction sound which combines with the CP3’s distinctive crossplane triple exhaust note to provide an aural resonance which further heightens the thrill of acceleration.

Dedicated Supersport Chassis

Dedicated Supersport Chassis

The YZF-R9 chassis begins with an advanced gravity-cast Deltabox frame that's the lightest aluminium frame ever offered on a Yamaha supersport model. The frame is extensively tuned to deliver a supple, predictable feel at lower speeds and supersport rigidity for razor-sharp handling at track speeds. Along with high-spec fully adjustable KYB® suspension and nearly perfect 50/50 weight distribution, the YZF-R9 delivers light, agile handling that inspires confidence for a wide range of riders and experience levels.

Advanced aerodynamics

Advanced aerodynamics

The YZF-R9 includes MotoGP®-inspired functional winglets which add downforce for a stable, planted front-end feel while keeping drag to a bare minimum. In fact, the ultra-sleek new R-series design yields the most aerodynamic Yamaha model ever offered. A dedicated supersport riding position is optimised to achieve excellent handling and a strong sense of unity with the machine while still offering a short reach to the clip-ons, ample leg room and low seat height for more comfort in a variety of riding scenarios.

Brembo Brakes

Brembo Brakes

Premium Brembo® Stylema monoblock front brake calipers combine with a Brembo® radial master cylinder, large 320mm dual front discs, stainless steel brake lines and aggressive pad compounds to offer supersport-level braking performance with exceptional power and feel. YZF-R9 also offers the option to turn rear ABS off for track riding.

New generation TFT display

New generation TFT display

The YZF-R9 receives Yamaha's latest generation full-colour five-inch TFT display providing a wide range of vehicle data. The rider can select their display preference between four separate street themes or a dedicated track theme. Display themes, vehicle data, connectivity functions and the YZF-R9's electronic suite are navigated through Yamaha's latest integrated handlebar switches.

Intuitive Switchgear & Controls

Intuitive Switchgear & Controls

The YZF-R9 employs Yamaha's latest integrated handlebar switchgear with extensively refined button shape and feel providing intuitive operation and navigation of the TFT display in a compact, easy-to-use solution. Turn signals now include quick signal, continuous signal and self-cancelling functions, while premium brake and clutch levers offer simple, multi-level adjustment to further enhance the riding experience.

6-Axis IMU

6-Axis IMU

An advanced six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) is based on the proven performance of the flagship YZF-R1 superbike. Data collected from the IMU and wheel speed sensors enable a high-tech suite of rider aids including a nine-mode Traction Control System (TCS), three-mode Slide Control System (SCS), three-mode Lift Control System (LIF) and a Brake Control System (BC). Levels of intervention can be adjusted and each of these systems can also be turned off providing the ultimate versatility and control in a variety of weather and surface conditions.

Smartphone Connectivity

Smartphone Connectivity

Riders can link their smartphone to the TFT display via Yamaha's free Y-Connect app to receive message notifications, calls and listen to music (through use of an aftermarket Bluetooth® headset, not provided). Additionally, full turn-by-turn navigation is available through the Garmin® StreetCross app to make each journey easier.

Advanced Electronics

Advanced Electronics

Road riders will appreciate convenient features such as cruise control and Yamaha's Variable Speed Limiter functions while track day enthusiasts will enjoy the Y-TRAC race settings complemented by a virtual pitboard feature that displays instructions and information from pit crew to rider in real time. 

R-Series Style

R-Series Style

With sharp, distinctive R-series styling including its signature M-shaped front duct and tail wing, combining with next generation design cues like angled LED position lighting and advanced aerodynamics including functional front winglets, the revolutionary YZF-R9 is instantly recognisable as the next evolution of Yamaha's iconic R-series.
