R1 Gytr

The R1 GYTR is supplied with a lightweight glass fibre carbon reinforced race cowling, specifically developed for easy installation and optimised aerodynamics. The MotoGP-style aerodynamic winglets fitted to the top of the main fairing were designed and developed from technical feedback from the Yamaha Factory Racing MotoGP team, generating downforce and complimenting the R1’s wheelie control.

New 43mm KYB inverted front forks have been fully-re-designed and now feature individual adjusters for rebound and compression damping on the left and right fork tube, with two-way adjustment. Each fork leg now features a base valve, designed to optimise pressure in the cylinder by limiting or entirely preventing oil from flowing into the bottom of the fork, resulting in an improved damping response, enhanced contact feeling and better all-round stability.

Responsive and high-performing, the new front braking system featuring Brembo master cylinder and Stylema calipers take the R1 GYTR’s stopping power to the next level, combined with Brembo’s Z04 racing pads for increased braking performance.

The 998 high performance CP4 engine features exclusive crossplane crankshaft technology developed from Yamaha’s winning MotoGP race bike. It’s uneven firing sequence delivers linear torque for outstanding performance and high levels of rear traction, while sophisticated electronic control technologies enable you to push even harder to the chequered flag.

A titanium Akrapovic exhaust (featuring new mid-muffler system) for optimised power output and controlled noise output.

The R1 GYTR is equipped with a lightweight GYTR wire harness and GYTR programmable ECU which allow you to set up your bike to achieve the best performance. Its advanced electronics package enables you to modify in a detailed level the slide, lift, engine brake settings and much more, including a GYTR ABS Emulator to disable the machine’s ABS.

The R1 GYTR’s race-ready specification includes race handlebars and racing rear sets for ultimate body position and controllability. This track machine also comes equipped with a keyless fuel cap, on/off switch and paddock stand and hooks for extra convenience.

For optimum drive efficiency the R1 GYTR is equipped with a race specification 520 chain and runs with a 15T/42T front/rear sprocket combination. And there are also a wider range of front and rear GYTR sprockets available to adapt to your preference and track, that you can buy at your GYTR PRO Shop.

Yamaha is a world leader in aluminium chassis design, and the R1 GYTR’s ultra-compact Deltabox frame with its lightweight magnesium subframe delivers outstanding cornering precision with high speed stability. The 10-spoke magnesium wheels reduce unsprung weight and minimise the rotational mass for responsive suspension action and easy directional changes.

The Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) is activated by a high-tech twistgrip assembly that gives a natural feeling for precise control. Featuring a spring, slider and gear that give a smooth and progressive feel, the lightweight ride-by-wire APSG (Accelerator Position Sensor Grip) twistgrip gives instant throttle response.

The R1 GYTR’s specification can be taken to an even higher level by fitting a selection of other GYTR components that have been developed by Yamaha Racing engineers.
