2005 Yamaha YZF600R Features & Benefits
Engine: Potent 599cc, liquid-cooled, 16-valve, DOHC, in-line four-cylinder powerplant puts out strong, yet street-friendly power
perfectly tuned for both aggressive sport riding and everyday commuting. Durable, lightweight forged pistons help reduce weight for increased throttle response.
Ram-air-style intake features a central duct below headlight to aspirate engine with high-pressure cool air for maximum top-end performance. Four 36mm Keihin downdraft
carburetors ensure crisp, seamless throttle response throughout the rev range. Close-ratio 6-speed transmission provides optimal power delivery to the asphalt with effortless shifting.
4-into-2-into-1 muffler optimizes engine performance while reducing weight and maximizing lean angle with tucked-in positioning. Crossover pipe between exhaust
headers and muffler enhances low- and mid-range torque. Chassis/Suspension: Legendary Deltabox chassis design is perfect combination of light weight and rigidity for
ultra-precise handling and flex-free stability while cornering. Rear subframe is lightweight and compact for greater performance and rider comfort. Fully adjustable
(preload, compression and rebound damping) 41mm telescopic front fork with 5.1" of travel offers race-inspired suspension performance with ultra-precise rider feedback during aggressive riding
conditions. Fully adjustable (preload, compression and rebound damping) remote-reservoir rear shock with 4.7" of travel delivers super-precise handling performance and maximum
versatility. Competition-spec brake system features dual 298mm floating front discs with one-piece 4-piston calipers and 245mm single rear disc brake with single-piston caliper for
exceptional stopping power. 5-position adjustable front brake lever fits a wide range of hand sizes. Lightweight, cast-alloy, 3-spoke 17" wheels front and
back reduce unsprung weight for superior suspension performance, while 120/60-ZR17 front and 160/60-ZR17 rear radials deliver incomparable grip and balanced steering characteristics.
Additional Features: Sleek, drag-reducing fairing and bodywork combine with tall windscreen for the perfect combination of wind protection and aerodynamics for optimal rider comfort without
sacrificing performance. Moderately low clip-on bars, wide, plush seat and slightly rear-set footpegs create ideal ergonomic balance between hard-edged supersport machine and everyday
commuter. Multiple, under-tailsection cargo hooks furnish numerous bungee cord anchoring points. 5.0-gallon fuel tank ensures excellent range, while tank-side knee
cutouts help create aggressive seating position to enhance sharp cornering with exceptional control. Instrumentation includes easy-to-read analog speedometer, tachometer, odometer,
and tripmeter with indicator lights for neutral, high beam, turn signals, low fuel and oil. Sleek 60/55-watt multireflector resin-lens headlight maximizes visibility and enhances
slippery aerodynamics. Standard toolkit located in convenient storage compartment under passenger seat.
