Yamaha YZF-R tech info



Bought it last year (2015) brand new. Hurt my back recently and cannot ride it for long periods of time. Bike has a Toce slip-on exhaust, CRG brake and clutch levers, smoked wind screen and brand new Dunlop Q3 tires (less than 100 miles on them). The bike has not missed a service and has Yamalube gold label synthetic oil and was changed last week as well as chain adjustment and lube.

A new report says riders with ABS-equipped bikes can dramatically reduce the chance of a fatal accident. The study compared fatality rates among riders on bikes that have antilock brakes, and it found that death rates were 38% lower on motorcycles equipped with the optional ABS systems compared to non-ABS bikes. In 2005-2006, the fatal crashes per 10,000 registered motorcycles without antilock brakes was 6.6.
The brief I gave to my girlfriend before packing for our little California road-trip was simple: “No hair straighteners, no high-heels and no hand bags!” So, I had to honour the whole ‘packing light’ thing too ...or risk a week of abuse. I picked up these shoes as I thought they’d double as decent riding gear for the Yamaha XVS650 and Ducati Diavel we had lined up but they also looked perfect for wearing with jeans when we’d dumped the bike and were heading out to explore the sights. They don’t feature any ‘real’ armour but they are made from a tough yet flexible canvas and they feature additional protection around the ankle.
Yamaha will present an electric prototype version of its Vino scooter and a new electric dirt bike for youths at the Nov. 22-Dec. 1 Tokyo Motor Show.
