R World Is Calling!
Legendary Yamaha superbike styling, advanced twin cylinder engine and ultra-light chassis make it the bike of choice.
Top Features
- Sleek
R-Series Styling: Featuring flowing bodywork and ergonomics inspired by
the MotoGP® YZR-M1®, the YZF-R3® is sleeker, more aerodynamic and more
refined than ever before.
- Advanced
Suspension: The R3's inverted fork works with a Monocross® rear shock
to provide exceptional handling, with balanced chassis rigidity, a near
50/50 weight balance, and damping and spring settings designed for a
wide range of road conditions.
- High-Revving
Supersport Engine: Yamaha's championship-winning technology gives the
YZF-R3 a broad spread of power with exciting high-rpm performance.
- Compact
Chassis: With a fully-fueled weight starting at only 368 pounds and a
seat height of only 30.7 inches, the YZF-R3 is ultra-light, nimble, and
confidence-inspiring on everything from tight city streets to wide-open
racetracks.
- Practical
Performance: A range of exclusive technologies ensures the YZF-R3
combines Yamaha's legendary refinement and reliability with thrilling
performance, all while sipping fuel at an efficient 56 mpg.
Engine Features
- Potent
Twin-Cylinder Powerplant: Yamaha's 321cc liquid-cooled, inline
2-cylinder engine delivers excellent power and performance throughout
the rpm range. With a 180-degree crank design and integrated
counterbalancer, the layout minimizes vibrations for a smooth, refined
engine character.
- High-Revving
Engine Architecture: With a compression ratio of 11.2:1, double
overhead cams (DOHC) and four-valve cylinder heads, the YZF-R3 motor is
designed for quick- revving performance and high-rpm efficiency to
deliver an exciting ride with a broad spread of power.
- Six-Speed
Transmission: A smooth-shifting six-speed gearbox ensures the rider
always has the right ratio, whether riding through tight canyon corners
or racetrack straightaways.
- Modern
Fuel Injection: Downdraft induction fuel injection system provides easy
starting, excellent fuel economy, and responsive performance in all
conditions.
- Advanced
Cylinder Construction: Yamaha's unique DiASil—a high-silicon aluminum
alloy—engine block is used to ensure excellent heat dissipation, with an
innovative offset cylinder design that reduces horsepower loss and
improves both power and fuel efficiency.
- Strong
and Lightweight Pistons: Forged aluminum pistons—the same technology
used for the YZF- R1® and YZF-R6®—means lighter weight and excellent
strength at higher temperatures, ensuring reliability at higher rpm.
- Compact
Exhaust System: The short muffler design features modern styling and
helps to centralize mass, improving agility for ultra-responsive
handling.
Chassis/Suspension Features
- Inverted
Front Fork: The YZF-R3 features an inverted fork with optimized spring
and damping settings, significantly improving fork rigidity, front-end
feedback and control feel. The design also includes a YZR-M1-inspired
top clamp for improved supersport style.
- Monocross
Rear Shock: The single-shock design further centralizes mass and is
tuned to strike a balance between ride comfort and sporty performance,
for capability across a wide range of uses, from urban commuting to
trackdays. It's also adjustable for spring preload, to account for
passengers or cargo.
- Potent
Braking with Available ABS: The 298mm floating-mount front disc brake
ensures excellent stopping power, supported by a 220mm rear disc. The
YZF-R3 ABS model also features an antilock braking system to boost rider
confidence and prevent wheel lock-ups in reduced-traction conditions.
- Sportbike-Spec
Wheels and Tires: Stylish 10-spoke cast aluminum wheels minimize
unsprung weight for improved suspension responsiveness and refined
handling. Grippy Dunlop® radial tires offer enhanced grip and feedback
for sporty riding, too.
- Perfectly
Balanced: Thanks to the engine placement and overall machine
dimensions, the YZF-R3 features a near 50/50 front/rear weight
distribution for enhanced performance, especially in dynamic
canyon-carving or racetrack riding environments.
Additional Features
- Sleek
R-Series Styling: The R3's aggressive design continues the legendary
styling born from the YZR-M1 MotoGP® machine and improves overall
aerodynamics at high speeds, too. The glaring face of the R3 features
compact LED headlights with a central air duct that maximizes cooling
airflow for the engine.
- LED
Lighting: Light Emitted Diode (LED) elements are used for both the
taillight unit and headlights. Not only do LEDs offer long life with
minimal power draw, they provide brilliant illumination, for confidence
and visibility day or night.
- Refined
Sportbike Ergonomics: Thanks to the low-profile fuel tank design and
relatively compact handlebar position, the rider is able to naturally
grip the machine for confidence, especially when tucking aggressively
behind the windscreen on the racetrack.
- Digital
Instrumentation: The compact multi-function meter informs the rider of
gear position, fuel capacity, real time and average fuel economy, water
temp, clock and an oil change trip meter—all presented in a clean,
modern layout.
