The Unique Design : 2013 Yamaha VMax VMX17

The name is 2013 Yamaha VMax VMX17. Its unlike any other motorcycle available today, the bike is the ultimate fusion of brawn and brains where offeres the awesome acceleration and muscular beauty combines with sporty handling and Yamaha's latest electronic engine management technologies to offer an incredibly exhilarating riding experience. This radically-styled muscle bike became an instant legend when the first versions rolled onto the streets and drag strips in 1985, and the current incarnation continues those traditions of brawn and beauty, with massive, muscular design to match the vast power of the engine. 

The engine arrived with Super-powerful 4-stroke V4, 1679cc - plenty of eye-opening, four valves per cylinder with liquid cooled. Its adapted four-bore fuel injection with YCC-I® intake technology and YCC-T® fly-by-wire throttle provide awesome acceleration throughout the broad powerband. The engine also used Iridium spark plugs, its ensure extremely efficient combustion at all engine speeds.

The 2013 Yamaha VMax VMX17 also used Mikuni fuel injection system uses four 48mm throttle bodies fitted with T.P.S. (Throttle Position Sensor) and numerous other sensors. An oxygen sensor has been fitted into the exhaust making this a "closed loop" type FI system. The benefits include excellent throttle response, great fuel economy, reduced emissions, stable idling and no choke to fuss with during start up. The closed loop design means the system is constantly monitoring the fuel / air mixture and adjusting it as required for maximum performance plus reduced emissions.

The 2013 Yamaha VMax VMX17 Chassis used lightweight cast aluminium frame. Its has been designed to offer an optimized rigidity balance to maximize handling performance. This frame is very rigid or stiff at the head pipe, engine mounts and swingarm pivot point. For suspension used Link Monocross rear suspension utilizes a fully adjustable remote reservoir rear shock. Rear wheel travel is 110mm (4.3"). Adjustments include 11 way spring preload adjustability (via easy-access remote adjuster), 12-way compression damping and 18-way rebound damping adjustability.

To reduce speed, 2013 Yamaha VMax VMX17 used dual floating 320mm wave-style front rotors are squeezed by radial mount, monoblock 6-piston calipers. The master cylinder is a Brembo radial pump master cylinder with a 16mm piston, a direct GP race innovation. And 298mm wave-style rear disc is squeezed by a single-piston slide-type caliper utilizing sintered metal pads and a 14mm Brembo master. The caliper is mounted below the swingram to maintain a handling enhancing low centre of gravity. Anti-lock braking system features Yamaha's latest ABS system. The linear controlled 3-position ABS system features an ECU with an integrated compact hydraulic unit built into the ECU plus active type wheel sensors with magnetic rotors. The result is incredible braking performance with excellent control and lever feedback.
