VMAX Key Features
VMAX in Granite Grey
1 A thunderous V4 with YCC-I intake
technology, YCC-T fly-by-wire throttle and a
slipper clutch almost single-handedly reinvents
the VMAX legend of old. But then we bolt it
low and forward into a lightweight aluminium
chassis with excellent mass centralisation
characteristics, resulting in a machine designed
to handle curves as well as straightaways.
2 Sculpted and supportive VMAX seat
cradles the pilot in plush leather, while a thick
pillion cushion allows you to share the VMAX
experience. An under-seat fuel tank makes
efficient use of space and mass.
Downdraft four-bore fuel injection with
YCC-I intake technology provides awesome
acceleration throughout the broad powerband.
Borrowing liberally from advanced sportbike
technology, VMAX features a slipper clutch,
wave-style brake discs with ABS and Brembo ®
master cylinders and complete suspension
adjustability front and rear.
Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake (YCC-I)
switches nearly instantaneously between
150mm and 54mm intake funnels as needed
for a broad powerband that delivers optimum
performance at any rpm.
Hydraulically activated clutch includes
racetrack-proven ramp-type slipper clutch
system that makes braking from speed while
downshifting smoother.
Five-speed transmission has superbly spaced
gear ratios to take full advantage of the engine’s
awesome power in straight-line acceleration or
through the twisties.
Delivering this power cruiser’s muscle to the
street means a beefy shaft drive just like its
predecessor. Special shaft design includes two
cross joints to accommodate the fat 200/50
R18 rear tyre.

3 Linear-controlled ABS system enhances
braking control over a variety of road surfaces
and conditions. Innovative and compact design
combines the ECU and hydraulic mechanism
into a single unit that is situated under the seat.
4 Size matters, and these huge 52mm tubes
combine excellent rigidity and a smooth action.
The oxidised titanium coating increases surface
hardness and reduces stiction while proving
that black is beautiful.
5 The ultimate power cruiser delivers
unmatched performance from its 65-degree,
four-valves-per-cylinder, 1679cc V4—plenty of
eye-opening, controllable acceleration from a
compact engine that looks as powerful as it is.
Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T),
the fly-by-wire system, delivers flawless
response every time the rider twists the throttle.
Engine combines four-valve technology
with a high 11.3:1 compression ratio, forged
aluminium pistons and NGK ® Iridium spark
plugs with R1-type direct ignition coils to extract
maximum horsepower from the fuel charge.
Cams are driven by a combined chain and
gear system to precisely control valves while
keeping cylinder heads remarkably compact for
such a large displacement engine.
Four-into-one-into-two-into-four exhaust
system with EXUP (Exhaust Ultimate Power
valve) delivers a broad, seamless powerband.
The iconic aluminium intake covers are hand
buffed by craftsmen for a superb quality finish.
Chassis is light and compact, with a cast
aluminium main frame, CF die-cast and
extruded aluminium rear frame and cast
aluminium swingarm.
VMAX utilises a link-type Monocross ® rear
suspension with a piggyback reservoir and
features compression and rebound clickers, plus
remote preload adjustment.
Organic electro luminescence multi-function
display provides a more precise display vs. LCD
and includes fuel meter, trip meter with fuel
reserve trip meter, transmission gear position,
coolant temperature, stopwatch and more.
