ENGINE

All new, 1199cc compact, lightweight, water-cooled, DOHC, 4 valves, pumps, double line of more than 80 pounds-feet of torque, a key ingredient that makes the tour exciting adventure.

The engine is tilted 26 degrees forward, which allows the use of a system of powerful downdraft intake, and at the same time, lower the center of gravity of the light, easy to handle

All new 4-valve cylinder head design. The DOHC valve train features 37mm intake and 31mm exhaust valves. Valve angle is 12.5 degrees for admission and 14 degrees from center for the exhaust, creating a compact combustion chamber. The valves are equipped with a coating ISONIT for excellent durability.

Automatic hydraulic tensioner Automatic cam chain reduces maintenance and mechanical engine noise.

A 4-valve cylinder head has two spark plugs per cylinder, so as to shorten the timing and nature of the diffusion flame burning torque excellent speed.

Powerful direct ignition coils (ignition coil is built on the spark plug) to reduce weight, and iridium spark plugs and high-yield Magneto spark of energy increase.

High performance, short skirt, forged aluminum pistons are lightweight for quick throttle response and also to reduce the mass of small mechanical vibrations. Compression ratio is 11:01

The newly designed 270-degree crankshaft with uneven firing order (270 and 450 degrees) for an excellent grip and throttle lever. This design crank and the firing order to reduce the "inertial torque", providing a more linear throttle, and improved rear wheel traction. Rider feels like he / she is directly connected to the rear wheel, a significant advantage when driving on loose ground such as stones and dirt.

Carburized connecting rods to handle outstanding strength and durability. Heat treatment of steel is a heat treatment process, which increases the carbon content in the outer surface of the bar to increase strength and endurance.

Ceramic composite cylinder "holes" are the "liner less" design with a ceramic coating on an aluminum block directly to the uniform heat dissipation for consistent power delivery, reduced oil consumption, reduce friction and reduce weight.

Specially designed high lift intake and exhaust cams provides excellent torque and power characteristics suitable for adventure tourism.

Automatic discharge from the device makes the Super Tenere, quick and easy. The advantage is a starter can be made smaller and lighter, because the load is reduced.

Dual front and rear balance shafts speed leads to reduced engine vibration to a minimum for rider and passenger comfort

Simple, mounted on the side (LHS) with a radiator-type cooling fan specially designed ring keeps the engine temperature under control. Page placement helps reduce the overall length of the bike.

Dry-sump lubrication system eliminates the design of deep sump at the bottom of the engine. The oil tank is integrated into the crankcase. This design helps to increase the ground clearance as there is no oil pan under the engine. It also reduces the weight and mass centralized because there is no remote oil tank or oil lines.

Easy access to oil filter and spin-type drain plug for quick and easy changes.

The newly designed air box maximizes air flow for excellent power and torque output element and uses a high-viscosity flow filter paper.

Double hole, 46 mm throttle body fuel system with TPS (position sensor throttle) and APS (accelerator position sensor). This is a "closed" system, which uses the oxygen sensors in both collectors. The sensors "sniff" the exhaust gases and spent the information fed back to the controller which in turn adjusts the air / fuel mixture for maximum compressive strength of the emissions. Oxygen sensor is located before the muffler, so the use of slip-on will not affect this system.

Denso injectors enjoy 12 holes and 20 degrees is a jet fuel atomization excellent complete filling of the combustion chamber and the throttle response instantaneous. One injector per cylinder. Injection provides low fuel consumption, the starter-less operation, to reduce emissions, and smoother running.

Throttle Yamaha chip control (YCC-T) electronic control throttle valve for the response and improves maneuverability at all speeds. The YCC-T used to give even more control over the volume of intake air for the character of sweet couple. Special ECU has three key internal ECU to control ignition, fuel injection and the YCC-T. The ECU that controls the YCC-T is able to meet the evolving at a rate of 1000 a second.

The driver can "mechanically close" the throttles by simply closing the throttle.

Function traction control is also part of the ABS system, and works with the YCC-T. Using front and rear wheels, sensors, the system detects when the rear wheel starts to rotate and change the ignition timing and fuel injection to reduce the power and remove the wheels rotate. This is a traction control mode 2; TCS1 TCS2 normal mode, and a little 'less power. The system can be deactivated by the times when the rear wheel is required.

Yamaha D-Mode variable throttle control, also a feature of the YCC-T, allows the rider to adjust the properties of the motor based on conditions or preferences horse rider. "S" mode offers performance motor sport, while "T mode" is suitable for touring or around town use. D-Mode switch is located on the ERS controlled switch.

Wide ratio six-speed transmission uses optimized gear ratios suitable for a wide variety of conditions. Top Gear is an overdrive with reduced rpms at highway speeds for relaxation, long-distance comfort.

High capacity, heavy clutch uses friction 9 and 8 steel plates. Clutch lever has 4 positions adjustable to fit different sizes.

Low maintenance, compact system with an axle hypoid gear. The benefit of the hypoid gear is that it allows the Crown to be smaller, reducing the size and weight of the house too. The reduction in unsprung weight improves handling.

2 into 1 exhaust system with catalytic converter honeycomb style to reduce harmful emissions and compact design, "elliptical" muffler soon. "Elliptic" slim design keeps the pot, keeping a thin width of the whole machine. Thermal properties of the silencer for driver and passenger and provides a throaty exhaust note.

Compact 600-watt (@ 5000 rpm) AC magneto provides plenty of power

Chassis / suspension

Backbone frame style of high-strength steel using the engine as a stressed member. Steel tube is used because it offers excellent resistance - the balance of stiffness and softness intrinsic aluminum for excellent rider and passenger comfort ... especially on long trips. The engine is mounted low in the chassis and allows a fuel tank designed to lower the center of gravity too.

Removable aluminum rear frame to reduce weight and drag. The rear frame has been designed to withstand the rigors of adventure in gross passenger and equipment.

Sustainable design, low steel swingarm casting. The casting process for a higher power because it reduces the amount of gas / air trapped in the material ... to make it stronger. The design contributes to the long stability and handling. The left arm "houses" shaft.

Fully adjustable 43mm inverted fork. This fork is designed to provide good compliance and a sense of stroke. Adjustments include spring preload 8-channel, 10-way rebound and compression damping 13-way. Travel of the front wheel is 190mm (7.5 "). Adjustable design allows the driver to tailor suspension settings to match rider weight, load and terrain conditions.

Monocross link type rear suspension is adjustable, shock, conveniently integrated in the controller "type crown" pre-load (no tools are necessary to adjust the rear spring preload). The rear suspension settings are: 6-way adjustable spring preload and 18-way extension. Rear wheel travel is 190 mm (7.5 ").

ABS equipped with two 310 mm "wave style" floating front discs are squeezed by ultra rigid one-piece 4-piston. The master cylinder has a piston 16 mm. Braking is excellent and offers a good "feedback" to match. There are five options for the positions of the front brake lever to suit a variety of hand sizes

ABS equipped with "wave style" 282mm rear disc is squeezed by a single piston sliding rear caliper type. The rear master cylinder uses a 14mm piston to produce a sound, progressive stopping power with excellent control and feel.

The blockade of the ABS braking system or the next generation of Yamaha has independent control system step-less linear, infinitely variable adjustment of hydraulic pressure. The unity of the ABS, the computer and the hydraulic unit are combined in one compact unit that allows for mass centralization. This system uses wheel sensors and the traction control system, further reducing weight. When the ABS system detects impending wheel lock, the system regulates the hydraulic pressure to the point just before locking the wheels. The advantage of ABS is an excellent control when braking hard or braking on wet, slippery or loose. The ABS system prevents wheel lock allows.

Unified Brake System is connected to the ABS system. Braking system is a unified system in which the front brake is activated, the electronic control of some of the braking force of the rear wheel well. Number of rear braking force depends on how hard the front brake is applied the rate of unity and the amount of weight on top. If the rear brake is applied before the front brake, which will erase the integrated brake temporarily (often in difficult terrain, the pilot does not want one system to activate).

Large capacity 23 liter tank is stretched vertically to help centralize mass and lower center of gravity. Parts of the shell is placed in a small, behind the airbox and the cylinder to keep the weight lower than the beginning. Part of the book is 3.9 liters.

"Double T" type of wheel is used on the front wheel. There are two raised "rails" that connect the spokes, allowing the use of tubeless tires and provide the optimum angle of force and spoke excellent durability. The rear tire as it is bigger, uses only a single rail design high. Both front and rear tires are radial.

Dual, cat's eye, the projector-type H7, 55/55 watt headlights provide great confidence when you drive an extra beam in the dark. Solenoid moves in the shadows, which controls the function of the projector lamp.

Touring driver focused and passenger seats. The cycling part (only) offers two different seat height options. The low position is 845mm (33.3 ") above the ground, while the upper position is 870mm (34.3"). Passenger seat is removable.

Multi-function plastic resin frame back. In its standard form, is a conventional rack / carrier. It also works as an accessories box top-mounted 30 liters. And finally, there is an additional integrated transport under the passenger seat. When the passenger seat is removed, mixed with grilled back of a platform, providing a maximum support area / space.

Based on the Super Ténéré is used for different types of driving conditions that have pushed the folding position and is designed to be both versatile and comfortable, the rider is standing or sitting. The handle is a sturdy design for strength & durability cone.

The rider footrests combined rubber / steel offer the best of both worlds. When sitting, the foot is placed in the driver inserts the rubber vibration damper. The position of the rubber to compress and display the jagged edges of the steel pins with an additional network of more technical riding.

Compact, multifunctional, single-piece instrument features analog tachometer, digital speedometer, odometer, fuel partial dual trip, fuel gauge and clock. It also has traction control and D-mode indicators, reading and instantaneous average consumption, coolant temperature, light and ABS with self-diagnosis, and more. Adjustable backlight.
