CONQUER ROAD

Yamaha has set the standard in the entry sports class with the exciting "R3". Sporting a twin cylinder 320 cc engine and an ultra lightweight chassis, the R3 offers a solid combination of class-leading power and light, agile handling. Mix in an easy to ride personality and you are ready for a super fun riding experience!

PERFORMANCE

Powering the R3 is a 320 cc, DOHC, parallel twin featuring a 4-valve cylinder head, 32 mm throttle body fuel injection and 6-speed transmission. Dig a bit deeper and you will find many of the high tech features found in our R6 power plant inside this engine too. Highway speeds are easily obtainable making the R3 a very versatile machine.

EASY RIDING

The R3 has been designed to provide a fun, enjoyable riding experience. To that end, the R3 utilizes a lightweight diamond type steel frame which is narrow and compact with a low 780mm (30.7") seat height. Despite the cool super sport styling, the R3 offers a comfortable, upright riding position which reduces rider fatigue and increases the fun factor.

ENGINE

Lightweight & compact, 320cc, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 8-valves (4-valves/cyl), fuel injected, inline-twin cylinder engine. The engine has been designed to provide solid performance right across the rev range, with very linear throttle response, low vibration & excellent fuel economy.
Downdraft style, compact combustion chamber
- 4-valves per cylinder
- straight intake path into the combustion chamber for excellent power output
- 4-valves per cylinder enhances the low to midrange torque
The YZF-R3 uses regular 87 octane gas
Intake valves are 26 mm in diameter & exhaust valves are 22.5 mm.
- Isonite surface treatment on the valve stems for improved durability & wear resistance
- valves feature carbon cutters on the valve stems to help reduce carbon build-up during slower speed operation
Valve adjustment interval is every 42,000 kms.
Automatic cam chain tensioner.
- reduces mechanical engine noise & maintenance
Lightweight, all aluminum DiASil cylinder (die cast all aluminum cylinder with silicone content).
- offers outstanding cooling performance / heat dissipation for consistent power delivery
- reduces weight since there are no heavy liners & cylinder is made completely of aluminum
Offset cylinder design.
- offsets the cylinder 7 mm relative to the crankshaft (to the exhaust side)
- reduces frictional losses between the pistons & cylinder wall during the power stroke
- improved power output & improved fuel economy
180 degree crankshaft with uneven firing order.
- helps reduce "pumping losses" for maximum power output
- provides an interesting exhaust note
Gear driven "primary coupled-force" balancer shaft.
- reduces engine vibration for excellent rider comfort
Lightweight forged aluminum pistons
- provide fast engine response
- reduced weight
- reduced mechanical vibration for excellent durability
Carburized connecting rods (carburizing is a form heat treating).
- excellent strength & durability
"Closed loop" 32 mm throttle body fuel injection system.
- system uses an idle speed controller (ISC) to maintain a steady idle regardless of engine temperature
- 12 hole injectors for optimum fuel atomization
- system is "tuned" to provide excellent "ride ability" & "linear" throttle control.
- "closed loop system" uses an oxygen sensor to "sniff" spent exhaust & automatically adjust the fuel / air ratio for reduced emissions
- fuel injection benefits include choke-free starting, steady idling during warm up, excellent fuel economy & reduced emissions
Air box utilizes a viscous paper type air filter.
Compact, 6-speed transmission.
- ratios specially designed to suit the character (torque & power) of the engine
- 5th & 6th gears are overdrive gears to reduce engine rpms at highway speeds
Compact, wet-type, multi-plate clutch.
- ensures consistent, positive shifting
- light, easy clutch lever pull.
Low mounted, 2 into 1 exhaust system.
- utilizes a short design muffler fitted with a 3-way catalyzer to reduce exhaust emissions
- low mounted design centralizes mass for agile handling & lightweight feeling
Maintenance-free transistor controlled ignition (TCI).
- produces a strong spark for fast starts
- provides precise ignition timing / mapping for optimum engine performance at all rpms
Easy access spin-on type oil filter & engine oil drain plug.
- fast & easy oil changes
- oil change interval is 5,000 kms after the initial 1,000 km break-in oil change
Air Induction System (AIS... not ram air).
- reduces harmful exhaust emissions
- injects fresh air into exhaust ports to fully burn any unburnt fuel, further reducing exhaust emissions

CHASSIS

Lightweight, diamond-type, high tensile, steel frame
- features an optimized rigidity balance for light, agile handling with excellent stability
- engine is a stressed member of the chassis, allowing a lighter, more compact main frame design
- frame features a mix of both solid & rubber engine mounts
- Electrostatic paint helps prevent corrosion
The riding position is one of the most important features of the R3. Despite its super sport styling the R3 offers excellent rider comfort thanks to its upright riding position.
Key chassis geometry figures include:
- 1380 mm (54.3") wheelbase
- 25 degrees of rake & 95 mm of trail
- 50 / 50 front to rear weight distribution
- chassis dimensions and shape have been designed to centralize mass & lower the centre of gravity to provide the rider with light, agile handling
Tapered, long design, high tensile steel swingarm.
- lightweight design reduces unsprung weight for superior suspension performance
- excellent rear wheel traction & control
41mm KYB conventional style fork offers 130 mm (5.1") of wheel travel.
- plastic chip guards help prevent damage to the fork tubes & seals
Adjustable Monocross link-less rear suspension with 125 mm (4.9") of wheel travel.
- features a single KYB rear shock adjustable for 7-positions of spring pre-load
- adjustable design allows rider to tailor pre-load settings to match load & road condition
298 mm floating front disc brake squeezed by a twin piston caliper.
- provides solid stopping power
- brake force & feel are tailored towards new riders
220 mm rear disc is squeezed by a lightweight single piston slide-type caliper.
Lightweight, cast-aluminum 10-spoke mag wheels.
- reduce unsprung weight for great handling & suspension performance
- front wheel size is MT2.75-17 fitted with a 110/70-17 tire
- rear wheel is MT4.00 fitted with a 140/70-17 tire
Lightweight hollow axles front & rear.
Clip-on style handlebars.
- provide a super sport image but offer a comfortable, more upright riding position since they are mounted above the top triple clamp
14-litre fuel tank.
- offers a slim design with great knee grip
- "reserve" portion of the tank is 3 litres (low fuel light will illuminate)
