2006 Yamaha R6 Supersport Features

Model 2006 new features
MOTOR any new short-engine with a maximum power at 14500 rpm.
The third generation R6 is powered by a brand new 4-stroke liquid-cooled 600cc DOHC in-line 4-cylinder 164-valve engine that was developed to provide maximum power to 14500 rpm. The design of the combustion chamber has been made more compact, which led to an increase in compression ratio of 12.8:1, and at the same time the valve angles have been reduced admission and New titanium exhaust valves.
The new larger diameter entry and exhaust valves are made from titanium, a metal which is characterized not only by its low weight, but also by its excellent durability. This has reduced the weight directly contributes to increasing power. Furthermore, their high resistance has allowed the use of a much more compact cylinder head assembly, which helps to ensure greater centralization of mass. And to help reduce the weight even further, the new position of valves used in aluminium. Injection system with fuel injectors secondary.
The third generation R6 is one of the earliest models of the range Yamaha to benefit from a transfer of technology from our YZR-M1 machine-Moto GP to win the race. As the leader class M1, the new R6 has a fuel injection system with secondary injectors. Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) fly-by-wire system
Perhaps one of the most avant-garde on the characteristics of the new R6 is his Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) who, like fuel injection, was developed from the winning technology used on our YZR - M1 bike race. Our engineers have taken the decision to use this new highly advanced gas monitoring system on the R6 because it is ideally suited to the wide range of operating the new engine court, which is designed to rev up the red line of area around 17500rpm.
YCC-T has been specially developed by Yamaha an independent project team, and the nature of the electronic throttle control was determined by our test riders who have registered thousands of hours of development time. The result is a system that delivers smooth, linear type carburetor throttle response in low and medium ranges rpm, with power levels above 10000 rpm. New Slipper clutch
The new R6 has a clutch slipper (back torque limiter). This system is widely used on the road, and, more recently, Supermoto machines, and offers riders a number of advantages over manual clutch. Mainly, the slipper clutch ensures smooth entry into the corners, absorbing the return of forces of torque transmitted through the rear wheel through the chain and the clutch during downshifting. A mechanism of the R6 slipper clutch change instantly pressure plate clutch in response to the return of torque, and this makes for a more smooth transition during downshifting to increase control. Another advantage of this system is that, by absorbing back torque, it helps to reduce stress on bicycles and transport chain. New 3-axis transmission layout
Yamaha launched the 3 axes provision whereby the crankshaft, the main shaft drive and trees have been repositioned in a triangular layout in order to reduce an engine front / rear dimensions. The third generation R6 uses a revised version of 3-axis transmission layout, and has a crankshaft more than 3 mm, and a little further down the main shaft to create a flat triangular relationship among the three trees. First use of EXUP on a 600
Yamahas exhaust Ultimate Powervalve (EXUP) has been used successfully on our bike race and also the R1 and R6 third generation is the first 600 supersport Yamaha to benefit from this class leader. EXUP The body is made of titanium to reduce weight and the system is at the point where the exhaust merge four to one. By effectively controlling impulses in the R6s exhaust, this compact and lightweight race-proven system significantly enhances the rideability bikes. In mid-titanium silencer
One of the most original design on the new R6 is the middle of heat, which is located in the centre of the machine in both lateral and longitudinal aspects. The silencer is made from titanium, and positioning it under the motorcycle at its midpoint, we were able to lower the center of gravity. This halfway location also contributes to achieve an ideal front wheel weight distribution, and the visual level in the middle silent improves concentration of mass that characterizes the entire look and feel of new R6. R6S
The YZF-R6S is designed for performance very entertaining, with a superb engine and chassis agile working with you on each journey. This race is a proven technology, developed from Yamahas MotoGP-winning factory race bikes and refined to perfection in the World Supersport. Since its renowned 16-valve, fuel injection engine with its aluminium die-cast entirely with adjustable upside down 41mm forks and radial-mounted four-piston monobloc front brake callipers, this weapon has superport the race know-how for you ahead of the rest on the road and circuit.
