OUTLINE OF THE FI SYSTEM
The main function of a fuel supply system is to provide fuel to the combustion chamber at the opti-
mum air-fuel ratio in accordance with the engine operating conditions and the atmospheric tempera-
ture. In the conventional carburetor system, the air-fuel ratio of the mixture that is supplied to the
combustion chamber is created by the volume of the intake air and the fuel that is metered by the jet
used in the respective carburetor.
Despite the same volume of intake air, the fuel volume requirement varies by the engine operating
conditions, such as acceleration, deceleration, or operating under a heavy load. Carburetors that
meter the fuel through the use of jets have been provided with various auxiliary devices, so that an
optimum air-fuel ratio can be achieved to accommodate the constant changes in the operating con-
ditions of the engine.
As the requirements for the engine to deliver more performance and cleaner exhaust gases
increase, it becomes necessary to control the air-fuel ratio in a more precise and finely tuned man-
ner. To accommodate this need, this model has adopted an electronically controlled fuel injection
(FI) system, in place of the conventional carburetor system. This system can achieve an optimum
air-fuel ratio required by the engine at all times by using a microprocessor that regulates the fuel
injection volume according to the engine operating conditions detected by various sensors.
The adoption of the FI system has resulted in a highly precise fuel supply, improved engine
response, better fuel economy, and reduced exhaust emissions.

FI SYSTEM
The fuel pump delivers fuel to the fuel injector via the fuel filter. The pressure regulator maintains the
fuel pressure that is applied to the fuel injector at 324 kPa (3.24 kgf/cm², 47.0 psi). Accordingly,
when the energizing signal from the ECU energizes the fuel injector, the fuel passage opens, caus-
ing the fuel to be injected into the intake manifold only during the time the passage remains open.
Therefore, the longer the length of time the fuel injector is energized (injection duration), the greater
the volume of fuel that is supplied. Conversely, the shorter the length of time the fuel injector is ener-
gized (injection duration), the lesser the volume of fuel that is supplied.
The injection duration and the injection timing are controlled by the ECU. Signals that are input from
the throttle position sensor, accelerator position sensor, coolant temperature sensor, atmospheric
pressure sensor, cylinder identification sensor, lean angle sensor, crankshaft position sensor, intake
air pressure sensor, air temperature sensor, speed sensor and O2sensor enable the ECU to deter-
mine the injection duration. The injection timing is determined through the signals from the crank-
shaft position sensor and cylinder identification sensor. As a result, the volume of fuel that is
required by the engine can be supplied at all times in accordance with the driving conditions.

YCC-T (Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle) YCC-I (Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake)
Mechanism characteristics
Yamaha developed the YCC-T and YCC-I system employing the most advanced electronic control
technologies. Electronic control throttle systems have been used on automobiles, but Yamaha has
developed a faster, more compact system specifically for the needs of a sports motorcycle. The
Yamaha-developed system has a high-speed calculating capacity that produces computations of
running conditions every 1/1000th of a second.
The YCC-T system is designed to respond to the throttle action of the rider by having the ECU
instantaneously calculate the ideal throttle valve opening and generate signals to operate the motor-
driven throttle valves and thus actively control the intake air volume.
The ECU contains three CPUs with a capacity about five times that of conventional units, making it
possible for the system to respond extremely quickly to the slightest adjustments made by the rider.
In particular, optimized control of the throttle valve opening provides the optimum volume of intake
air for easy-to-use torque, even in a high-revving engine.
The YCC-I system calculates the value from the engine speed and throttle opening rate, activates
the intake air funnel with the electronic control motor drive to control the intake pipe length in order
to gain the high power output in all revolution ranges from low speeds to high speeds.
Aims and advantages of using YCC-T system
• Increased engine power
By shortening the air intake path, higher engine speed is possible →Increased engine power.
• Improved driveability
Air intake volume is controlled according to the operating conditions →Improved throttle response
to meet engine requirement.
Driving force is controlled at the optimal level according to the transmission gear position and
engine speed →Improved throttle control.
• Engine braking control
Due to the throttle control, optimal engine braking is made possible.
• Simplified idle speed control (ISC) mechanism
The bypass mechanism and ISC actuator are eliminated →A simple mechanism is used to main-
tain a steady idle speed.
• Reduced weight
Compared to using a sub-throttle mechanism, weight is reduced.

Aims and advantages of using YCC-I system
• Improved power band
By using a dual intake funnel system, YCC-I optimizes the effectiveness of the fuel injection sys-
tem to deliver an incredibly precise air/fuel mixture to the combustion chamber. This degree of
intake volume control gives both improved low to mid-range power, as well as improved power in
the higher rpm range. In effect, the YCC-I offers higher levels of power across the RPM range.
• Electronically controlled intake length
The YCC-I system consists of four lightweight plastic resin funnels, and each of these is divided
into an upper and lower portion. Depending upon operating conditions, the funnels can be joined
to form a single long funnel, or split to create a short funnel. This change is performed instanta-
neously by an electrically controlled servo-motor which handles the function so smoothly that the
rider is unaware it is happening.
