PULL CORNERS CLOSER TOGETHER
PULL CORNERS CLOSER TOGETHER
The power of the 998 Genesis turbo pulls the corners closer together than you ever thought possible. Spring Power Surge Exclusive.
• 998 Genesis Turbo Engine
The boosted, one-liter triple is unmatched when it comes to delivering incredible power with the refinement and quality you have come to expect from a Yamaha. Designed around a premium turbo unit, every engine component from the pressed forged crank to the cast steel exhaust manifold is dedicated to producing uncompromised performance. The proven Yamaha engine has earned the respect and reputation befitting the industry's highest achiever. This engine produces the potent venom in the Sidewinder L-TX LE's bite.
• Tether Switch
An integrated switch automatically shuts down the engine whenever the driver is not on-board.
• YSRC High-Performance Clutch System
The YSRC primary and roller secondary clutches are calibrated for durable, cool operation. They harness and transfer the massive torque produced by the Genesis Turbo efficiently to the track while minimizing drive belt wear. The primary shifts out aggressively to use all the power on tap while the roller secondary is quick to back-shift and provides additional ratio through its oversize sheaves. The result is continuous acceleration after others have signed off.
• NEW ARCS Front Suspension
The new Advanced Roll Center Suspension (ARCS) features taller, high-strength, forged alloy spindles and redesigned lightweight upper A-arms. The geometry is further revised to optimize suspension function while increasing ground clearance. This results in a greater bite with less chassis roll for more predictable and consistent handling.
