1 . All- New 890cc Liquid- Cooled 3- Cylinder DOHC
Fuel- Injected Engine
The 2021 TRACER 9 GT features a newly developed 890cc liquid- cooled 3-cylinder, DOHC, 4-valve-per-cylinder fuel-injected (YCC-T) engine with a downdraft intake. The bore × stroke of 78 mm × 62.1 mm and 11.5:1 compression ratio provide outstanding torque with strong power delivery characteristics. Almost all of the fundamental parts of the engine, from the pistons and connecting rods to the crankshaft, camshafts and crankcase, have all been redesigned. The combustion efficiency results in an impressive 9% improvement as well as an increased fuel efficiency to 49 MPG.
2 . New Lightweight Aluminum Frame
To achieve both sporty performance and excellent riding comfort, the new TRACER 9 GT adopts a newly developed lightweight aluminum frame with model-specific tuning. Using the latest Controlled Filling (CF) aluminum die-casting technology, this frame features the thinnest sections ever on a Yamaha die-cast frame at just 1.7 mm (thinnest section on the 2020 Tracer 900’s frame is 3.5 mm).
3 . KYB Electronically Controlled Suspension
Jointly developed with KYB to deliver both sporty performance and a
comfortable ride, the TRACER 9 GT features an electronically
controlled suspension. The suspension provides optimum damping
force that is based on real-time running conditions for great riding
comfort and feel from the road. Based on input from the 6-axis Inertial
Measurement Unit (IMU), the Engine Control Unit (ECU) and the
Hydraulic Unit (HU), the Suspension Control Unit (SCU) calculates the
optimum settings for suspension damping. The damping adjustment
mechanism is solenoid-driven which enables changes to the damping
force to be reflected quickly, and big damping force changes are
possible. This suspension system generates steady damping force
even when the suspension piston is moving slower, which contributes
to stabilizing the motorcycle’s attitude when starting from a stop as
well as stabilizing the chassis attitude when accelerating, braking and
cornering. The electronically controlled system controls the rebound
and compression damping for the front fork and rebound damping for
the rear shock.
4. 6-Axis IMU
The 2021 TRACER 9 GT features a newly developed 6-axis Inertial
Measurement Unit (IMU) that retains the base performance of proven IMU
in the YZF-R1 but is 50% smaller and 40% lighter due to a thorough
review of the sensor layout. The engine control unit (ECU) that receives
and reflects the data from the IMU is equipped with three rider aids: a
Traction Control System (TCS), Slide Control System (SCS) and the
front-wheel LIFt control system (LIF). The Brake Control System is
controlled by the Hydraulic Control Unit (separate unit from ECU)
which modulates front and rear brake pressure based on data from the
IMU as well as the front and rear wheel speed sensors. All three systems
work together to help the rider concentrate on better extracting the
machine’s potential. Each of the systems can also be turned on or off
and have their levels of intervention adjusted to preference.
5. Full LED Lighting With Cornering Lights
The compact mono-focus (separate high and low beam units) LED
headlights in a twin-eye arrangement provide excellent beam spread for
the 2021 TRACER 9 GT. The edges of the beam have a softer contrast
to be easy on the eyes while emitting a soft and even spread of
illumination. Since the TRACER 9 GT uses not one but multiple LEDs
to produce light, it can project a complex distribution of illumination
across a broad field. The position lights also use LEDs for a wider
field of illumination while the redesigned rear lights give off a
smoother plane of light. New for 2021, the cornering lights help
improve rider's confidence at night as the light strength grows as the
lean angle increases. Following the FJR1300ES, this is the second
Yamaha model to feature a cornering light system but the only one
with a single LED unit per side that emits increasingly stronger source
of light in a high-quality, highly functional design.
