Yamaha YZF R1 2009 Engine Technology Explanation

[daikiryoku]

so the 2009 technology, same as 1909...

[urosh911]

Dear Santa....

[6romansoldier]

if you dont ride on the track. you need to , or you need to do more homework. esspecially physics and mech engineering. hope i see yall on the road

[6romansoldier]

and it is absolutely never about how much power you put out. it's more about how you can control that power. I own a very powerful 07 r1 but im going to buy a new crossplane as well to test the smoothness it has on the track. when it comes to racing, you need so much control and feel at the engine and tires. yamaha just gave it to you.

[6romansoldier]

i own two r1s, an 05 and an 07. the 07 is tuned with akropovic exhaust and one tooth down sprocket in the front. I have yet to be touched by anything less than a liter bike. harleys red line at around 6 thousand rates per min. inline fours like the r6 go up to 17 thousand rpms. plus v twins cant make very much overall power. harley davidson big engine around 110 hp tuned. my tuned r1 around 170hp or more. and able to do 100mph in first gear. sorry vtwins see you at the finishline

[srbinizkraja]

I bet the speaker didnt understand anything what he was reading

[emercito]

The name of this drummer is Akira Jimbo

[buckcitycrunk]

video does what it says

[morkovija]

Thats the worst music to be ever picked as a background for a bike presentation.

I mean, come on Yamaha!Seriously!

[6romansoldier]

it's the firing order guy lol

[2StrokeRacing]

Its no V2 or V4 engine so its shit.

[phatray]

@2StrokeRacing old fart who wouldnt accept new technologies are better than old

[idrivea911]

@2StrokeRacing The V4 has to be the best motor ever. My VFR750 has the smoothest power delivery of any bike I've owned.

[franian77]

becasue of this shitty technology we are missing the sound of the screamer engine noise too dissapointing..too bad yamaha

[sewerrod]

why are they lying about how it fires off, the actual rythm is one two three four, repeat

[1971SuperLead]

@sewerrod, No their not. Watch the video again. The first engine is conventional, but then they show how they twist the crank and it fires in odd timing.

[sewerrod]

@1971SuperLead so then why is the piston going up and not firing

[1971SuperLead]

@sewerrod , Because it's a 4 stroke engine. On a 4 stroke engine the piston only fires every 2nd time the piston reaches the top of the cylinder.

[6romansoldier]

someone needs to watch this a few more times....it misses one of the power strokes intentionally. for instance you could fire all the pistons at the same time. but the backpressure to the intake would cause the engine to poof out and not run properly. firing order doesnt matter. it's all about primary and secondary forces. gotta get the idea of the explosion inside the engine causing the vibration, it's the rotation that causes vibration.

[6romansoldier]

if the explosion was what caused the vibration it would be the same as going out to your car and trying to pick it up by pushing on the hood. the bang goes in all directions but the simple fact that the piston is just a smidge past top dead center it allows the explosive force to push the piston down rotating the crank, causing a vibration in two positions 1deg to 180 and 90 to 270deg.

[acaltairezio1121]

i love yamaha. but the only thing bothers me is that they always had wierd lightings.. but thiere bikes ar perfect

[Ananthu90210]

its really great to watch r1 advertisement actually i cant even dream off an r1 or buy one

its a man made beast with power,looks ,passion etc thanks yamaha company to build this bike

[sangolt88]

I guess a motorcycle engine is not the same today as it was 25 years ago ^^

[sixfifty3]

sounds like an RC30, but will probably fall apart like a cheap watch.

[cameron197040]

the 09 is slower than the 07-08 R1, to those who bought an 09 model.....bahaahahahahahaahaa

[viper22jc]

@cameron197040 lol, I'm glad I have my 07....

[cameron197040]

@viper22jc same ere mate.... mine is unique, check it out, plus more mods not on video yet

[galaxything]

@cameron197040 09 is a better engine, it has no tdc , bdc inertia so better throttle - engine connection / control and superior tyre wear. This is all for the track / racing though of course. In other words the 09 engine will produce better lap times and less drop in lap times from start of a race to the end.

[cameron197040]

@galaxything ok mate, but i have beaten 09's everytime i come across 1.

Go speak to a mechanic n he'll tell you the same, 09's are slower than 08's.

they've al told me the same thing, "Yamaha went backwards with the 09".

or have less power. forget wot magazines n books tell you.

I WILL NEVER BUY AN 09

[galaxything]

@cameron197040 ye your not wrong that the new firing order is a loss in turms of bhp (strait line speed) thats because the crank shaft has to have a weight put on it (counter balance weight due to the piston position on the shaft) but on a race track it realy is the better engine hence the use of it in racing now... But for a strait line battle on the road then ye the older is a little better :)

[cameron197040]

@galaxything thanks for letting me know i am right....again. lol.

I've seen 08's vs 09's on the track here at Eastern Creek International Race Track, on ride days.

The 08's always go faster AND look better.

Not only that, my 08 flogs 09's on the street.

[galaxything]

@cameron197040 well thats just rider level tbh. In-line 4 engines faded out from gp racing due to the eason i stated, cross plain crank engines are just better for racing. even in world superbikes shows the same theory at work

[ht666th]

one thing i dont get though.. this leads to nonlinear combustion cycles. Isnt the block more prone to cracking that way? and what about engine vibrations?

[domsaleo]

YAM aha technology :P

[edifierkenn]

bravo!

[bmx4637]

bro, is that a little kid playing the drums?

[fanofyoubulb]

gr8 explanation, and gr8 technology

[RedboyGarinich]

This new model look like a SHIT - i'm disappointed ... model of 1998 BETTER-BETTER-BETTER ... i like her .... but this new model SHIT!

[mattblack77nz]

is it just me, or is this complete bullshot?

[marek0086]

@mattblack77nz~ It's you!

[Naturepheonix]

This is going to be my third bike!

[Manifesto1975]

I have this black bike :-)

video here

[dpianonvocals]

yamaha makes good motorcycles,good pianos,and good drums.

[Lawgiver45]

Makes me want to buy an 09..

[billysull]

It's hardly revolutionary...it's exactly the same principle that Triumph used with the release of the 750 tripe Trident T150 in 1968!! The only difference being that this crankshaft has four pins. Not only does the design equalise inertial torque, it also largely eliminates vibration....nice of the Japanese to mention the heritage of "their idea"!!

[KenMacMillan]

Just like a Chevy or Ford V8. The only difference I can see is that all the balancing is done internally rather than with an inertial dampener. It probably sounds like a car.

[ryanvssr]

great explanation and graphics!

[KendrickMcMurphy]

I wonder will the other big sportbike companies switch to a cross plane engine layout? I guess only time will tell.

[1990GABOR1990]

put the new V-MAX 1800 ccm engine in one of there sportbikes...aahhhhh...it's gonna rock an' roll

[laci0008]

pretty sure the Yamaha beat the pants off of the RSV4 and every other manufacturer in SBK last year. Nuff said

[carl206rc]

don't forget bmw is now in the business and that is a complete ride with loads of technology

[soulseeka1]

This is what you call a V4 wanna be. Yamaha, why not just build a new V4 for the R1?

[imoujaber]

its not a V its an inline,

V is when you have for example 6 cyclinders 3 on each side in a V shape

so here it is an inline 4

[soulseeka1]

Well, no duh. Now teach me something I don't know.

[HazaRDReBorn]

its not a V4 wonna be, they didn't change the degrees to create a 90degree angle between the pistons, they only changed the result on the crank shaft. in simple, the weight balance in the engine is kept in tact giving less vibrations as opposed to the V design. Less vibrations along with better weight distribution in the in-line design means for a smoother and more controlled ride.

[soulseeka1]

Trust me, Yam was still trying to make an "inline V4". Don't try to convince me otherwise. It's reality, you can make mute with all the specs. Put it up against the RSV4 and see what smooth, balanced and narrow. I don't have anything against Yam, but the truth is the truth. My guess is no other manufacturer will follow.

[HazaRDReBorn]

i disagree with the whole inline V4 idea and the RSV4 is not as smooth in my opinion (i may be wrong). I see that you're set on your opinions and im not trying to change them, just stating my own as well. i never said you have something against Yam. I myself mostly favour European engines, even though they are not as smooth by comparison. they are smooth, but not as smooth... again my future experiences may teach me otherwise but for now this is my conclusion. After all we live to learn :)

[wanky448]

that was so stupid drums 1 2 drums 123 drums 12 drums 12 12 3

[2stroketurbo]

sounds different, almost like a v8 down low

[greenboy215]

this is awesome no more spin outs on fast turns i hope....

[salam28000]

this is perfect but i didn't undestand what the idea is about :s

[seltblade]

no wonder valentino keeps saying "I FEEL GOOD WITH THE BIKE"....

[elevenbravoonepapa]

Yamaha World Domination.

[Sethlapod]

Yamaha 2009 MotoGP Champion ........ Yamaha 2009 WSBK Champion ........ Yamaha 2009 World Supersport Champion

[ekwan87]

the perfect machine

[Sethlapod]

Firstly the last time i checked, "7h0p0r" there were 2 Yamaha's at the top of the Moto GP and Rossi doesn't ride both of them! Where the fuck would Ducati be without Stoner? As for Suzuki what a joke.

Secondly how is Ben Spies going in his first year in WSBK on his Yamaha? Don't get me wrong, I like Ducati's but like i said "No Stoner no Ducati...... PERIOD!!!!!

[7h0p0r]

why cross shit and in line shit acceleration and all that shit if they can not beat ducati and suzuki, kawasaki, yamaha beats them all now beacause of rossi, but put rossi on a ducati...fuck's them all

[hiyadroogs]

7h0p0r, The crossplane crankshaft concept may be new on a road bike, but it's common practice on racebikes, so any superiority or inferiority between marques on the track is not because of the in line/crossplane concept, because as far as I know, they all use crossplane. In racing, you want as much power & revs as you can get out of the engine, & a crossplane crank helps to achieve that.

[Haney520]

your just pissed because I probably passed you on my R1 and you were on your ducati....

[Crashbandicout]

the drum desmostratio is out of order, Otto cicle is 1342, (not 12 43 on video!)

[euheide]

I prefer the 1st drum beat although I prefer the Cross plane crankshaft's sound :)

[asdasdasdasdasdas98]

Cadillac introduced the first crossplane crankshaft in 1923! not that new really.

[Module79L]

@asdasdasdasdasdas98: They're referring to motorcycles, not cars.

[a1n9d7r7ea]

The best music for a four cylinder Yamaha!!!!!!

[steady2wheels]

yamaha's are truely 'precision tuned instruments' hahahaha!

[yosuaeko]

in Indonesia you can buy R1 for $35000, yes, in europe or USA you can get 3 R1!!!! This is because that Indonesia have a big tax, the tax is about 147,5% from the original price, so the Price in Indonesia is about 247,5% from the other contries, UHHHHH S**T, What a F******G TAX.......... I hope INdonesia join a WTO, ^_^.......

[rahul0046]

I RESPECT YAMAHA...........THANKS.

[acidangelster]

Can I pls have the cross plane crank technology with the sound of the older r1 s? Come on yamaha!

[Crossplane951]

No. The crossplane has a rhythm that makes it sound like so. Yamaha makes a really aggresive bike and their entire focus if performance. Believe me, I love the sound of my 07 R1 at 14,500 rpms. It sounds scary when reved up that high, but the 09 has the crossplane and is proving to be better. Just ask Ben Spies!

[acidangelster]

Yup I can appreciate that.And pls do maintain your r1 well ,she s gonna have great demand in sometime cause guys like me d want to own her ,when we can afford one,just cause she sounds so much better ha ha....cheers!

[shinobistyle86]

who cares about sound when you have unmatched performance

[acidangelster]

Me....I do.....! CAn come to terms with the unparalled performance but the fact that my dream bike doesnt have the dream sound it once used to make is a lil hard for me to digest.

[7h0p0r]

unmatched performance???...lol, ducati and suzuki fuck's yamaha from behind

[juathuan]

who is the drummer? play really well!!

[peraemail]

Sorry, but i don't know...

[MFJ931]

THE R1 IS IN A WEAPONS RACE!!!!

[rsscoyote]

this engine have a new sound and potenci

but is necessary ability

[norgon87]

excelente

[driftability]

Very cool, i like this video.
