Yamaha YZF-R description

Superb , Garage kept, black, very clean. Great bike in exceptional condition. 2 helmets and 2 jackets worth over $ 400 included. made some major changes to the model. This included style updates, like an under seat twin exhaust, and performance upgrades including radial brakes, and, for the 1st time an Ram-air intake. Furthermore, the tendency for wheelies by earlier productions was reduced by changing the geometry of the frame and weight distribution. The all-new engine was no longer pre-owned as a stressed member of the chassis, and featured a separate top crankcase and cylinder block. This weighs 380lb dry. The conventional front brake calipers were replaced by radially mounted calipers, activated by a radial master cylinder. A factory-installed steering damper was also added this year. Combined with the changes to the frame, this helped to eliminate the tendency of the handle bars to shake violently during rapid acceleration or deceleration on less-than-perfect surfaces Shipping Financing and Warranties may be available to qualified buyers.
