Add in premium features including an Ohlins Electronic Racing Suspension, lightweight carbon fiber bodywork and our Communication Control Unit that is both a data logger and data setting tool, and you have a machine that is destined to improve racing skills and results.
The YZF-R1M is Yamaha’s most advanced production bike, and its sophisticated technology enables every racer and track rider to discover their true potential.
Its Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) offers precise control over traction, slides, front wheel lift, braking and launches, while the Communication Control Unit lets you analyse running data on tablet or smartphone. The refined Electronic Racing Suspension (ERS) with improved damping control delivers ultimate handling.
With its 200 hp crossplane engine, upgraded QSS with upshift and downshift – as well as a new ECU and restyled carbon bodywork – the YZF-R1M brings YZR-M1 MotoGP Factory-bike technology to private owners.
///Suspension
The Yamaha R1M comes equipped with electronically adjustable, premium Ohlins “Electronic Racing Suspension” with 120 mm (4.7″) of wheel travel front & rear. Electronic Racing Suspension also further enhances the performance potential of the R1M with electronically controlled independent damping front & rear.
///Magnesium
Standard on the R1M are magnesium wheels, oil pan, cylinder head cover & crankcase covers. The lightweight design reduces unsprung weight & contributes to excellent suspension & handling performance.
///Electronic Rider Controls
The R1M has everything from a Launch Control System (LCS) to Slide Control System (SCS).Many of the rider assist aids are derived from Yamaha’s MotoGP race efforts and help make the R1M more controllable and enjoyable to ride.
Revised Electronic Racing Suspension (ERS)
The revised Electronic Racing Suspension (ERS) is the most sophisticated system ever developed by Öhlins for a production motorcycle. Its advanced new software gives a higher degree of braking, acceleration and cornering support with improved front-end feel – and a new interface makes suspension set-up quick and easy.
Communication Control Unit (CCU)
The Communication Control Unit (CCU) has a data logging function that allows you to record a wide range of running data, including lap times, speed, throttle position, GPS tracking, lean angle and more. It can also be used to communicate with the Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) system when viewing, downloading or changing the running modes.
Lightweight carbon fairing with new finish
One of the many exclusive features on the YZF-R1M is its carbon fairing, and in order to underline the bike’s exclusivity, the graphics have been revised for 2018 so that more of this ultra-light material is visible on the fairing panels.
YZR-M1 derived 200 hp crossplane engine
The YZF-R1M is powered by a 998 cc, crossplane, 4 cylinder, 4-valve engine that develops 200 hp – without ram air pressurisation. Derived from our winning YZR-M1 MotoGP bike, its crossplane crankshaft gives an uneven 270° – 180° – 90° – 180° firing sequence for high levels of linear torque.
6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)
The highly sophisticated 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) delivers precise running data to the new ECU – which activates the upgraded lift control system (LIF) as well as the MotoGP-derived banking angle sensitive rear wheel Slide Control System (SCS) and Traction Control System (TCS) for greater control and reduced lap times.
Improved Quickshift System (QSS)
A new higher specification Quickshift System (QSS) offers clutchless upshifting and downshifting that helps to maintain chassis stability for faster lap times, and also reduces the physical and mental input required by the rider. Using the Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) function, YZF-R1M riders can also select their preferred QSS mode.

•The key components of this cutting edge engine design are the “crossplane” crankshaft and an uneven firing order. Both of these features are used on Yamaha’s race winning M1 MotoGP racer. The R1M crossplane crankshaft locates the center two rods at a 90 degree plane from the outer cylinders. Instead of the crank pins aligned on the same plane (a straight line drawn through the center of the crankshaft), they align on 2 planes in the form of a cross … or “crossplane”. Working in conjunction with the crossplane crank is an uneven firing order. This R1M engine fires 1,3,2,4 cylinders and the firing intervals are uneven at 270 / 180/ 90 /180 degrees. What all this means to the rider is the most linear torque possible and amazing throttle control. This engine design allows a whole new level of rider – machine communication. One of the most important benefits is the outstanding cornering performance that increased engine / throttle control allows.

///ELECTRONIC RIDER AIDS… YRC
Many of the following rider assist aids are derived from Yamaha’s MotoGP race efforts and help make the R1M more controllable & more enjoyable to ride. We call them Yamaha Ride Control or YRC.
•At the heart of the “Yamaha Ride Control” electronic rider assist aids are the IMU or Inertial Measurement Unit and ECU or Electronic Control Unit. The IMU features six axis of measurement using a gyro sensor to detect rotational motion in the pitch, roll & yaw directions. A “G” sensor detects acceleration / velocity in the forward & back, up & down and left & right directions. The vehicle position information obtained from the two sensors including bank angle, pitch rate and sideways slide acceleration is sent to the ECU which in turn controls the five YRC systems (not including the quick shift system). These variables are calculated 125 times per second.
• PWR: Power Delivery Mode is Yamaha’s variable throttle control, which controls the throttle valve opening speed, enabling the rider to adjust performance characteristics of the engine based on riding preferences or conditions. There are 4-power settings available from an enhanced race setting to a slippery condition mode with softer power characteristics.
• TCS: Traction control system with lean angle sensor. System uses front & rear wheel sensors to detect slip and then adjusts / regulates power via the ECU / IMU to control rear wheel spin. In addition to detecting difference in speed between the front & rear wheels, system uses input on the degree of bank / lean angle to adjust the degree of TCS intervention to an optimum level in relation to riding conditions in real-time. As the banking angle increases, the amount of TCS intervention also increases. When the TCS is disabled, SCS, LIF & LCS systems will automatically be shut down as well. There are 9 settings plus off.
•SCS: Slide Control System controls engine power when side slip is detected. Power output is adjusted to an optimum level to control side slide. There are 3 settings plus off.
•LIF: Lift Control System (a.k.a. anti-wheelie control) reduces time loss due to wheelies during closed course competition. System reduces front end lift during starts & hard acceleration. When the IMU and other sensors detect lift, engine output is adjusted to the optimum level to maintain strong acceleration without lift. There are 3 settings plus off.
•LCS: Launch Control System is adopted to help ensure fast, strong, controllable starts in closed course competition situations. When the LCS is activated, it keeps engine rpm limited to approx. 10,000 rpm and maintains an optimum level of engine power in conjunction with inputs from the TCS and LIF systems, allowing the rider to concentrate on clutch engagement and the other competitors, reducing stress associated with race starts. There are 2 settings plus off.
•QSS: Quick Shift System provides smooth, fast upshifts even at full throttle. When the switch on the shift lever rod detects motion, it adjusts engine output and momentarily cancels out the drive torque to promote faster gear shifts. There are 2 settings plus off.
•CCU: Communication Control Unit is a standard feature of the R1M. The CCU monitors / records various forms of machine information & simplifies set-up of the instrument panel’s function as a rider-machine “interface.” Comprised of the CCU & a GPS receiver, running data can be recorded via a data logger, and with the GPS function, the system also enables automatic lap time recording on race circuits. This data help racers / track day enthusiasts to improve their riding skills & lap times. By downloading an “app” for an Android or iOS based smartphones, it is also possible to create set-up data on a smartphone. Setting data can then be downloaded into the R1M via a Wi-Fi connection.
•Communication Control Unit (CCU):
•CCU is Yamaha’s data acquisition unit… a great tool for track day & race enthusiasts
•works with IOS & Android platforms
•parameters recorded include: traction-control activation, front & rear ABS activation, lean angle, vehicle speed, engine rpm, wheel speeds, throttle position, gear position, front & rear brake pressures, coolant temperature and lap times
