The Yamaha YZR M1 is an inline four motorcycle specifically developed by Yamaha Motor Company to race in the current Moto. GP series. 1 It succeeded the 5. YZR5. 00 by the 2. Since then, the YZR M1 has been continuously developed into several iterations through the 9. Grand Prix Motorcycle Racing. In a change from their V 4. YZR5. 00, Yamaha designed the YZR M1 for Mission One with an inline 4 engine because it was the format considered to have the best mutual balance with the frame. Also, Yamaha wanted to preserve the superior handling of the YZR5. M1s engine was designed to fit in a chassis developed around the basic structure of the YZR5. The M1 was outfitted with an electronic engine management system that controlled the engine braking endemic to 4 strokes. The new engine had 5 valves per cylinder, was fed by carburetors and began with a displacement of 9. The frame design also evolved during the season, with adjustment of the engine mounting position and change in the fuel tank shape. The M1 was test ridden and developed by Max Biaggi, John Kocinski, Norihiko Fujiwara and Kyoji Namba throughout 2. It was raced in the 2. Sage Peachtree Company File. Biaggi and Carlos Checa on the factory team, and towards the end of the season M1s were also provided to Norifumi Abe, Olivier Jacque and Shinya Nakano. Biaggi achieved two wins and placed second in the final standings as did Yamaha in the manufacturers championship. In 2. 00. 3, the engine went from carburetion to fuel injection, and the engine brake control system was replaced with an Idle Control System that automatically adjusted the throttle valve opening on two of the four cylinders to improve stability and handling during deceleration. M1 riders were Checa, Alex Barros, Olivier Jacque, Marco Melandri, Shinya Nakano and Norifumi Abe, and there were no wins and Yamaha came in third in the manufacturers championship. Valentino Rossi signed a two year contract with Yamaha, reportedly worth in excess of US6 million per season, in a move that was described by the press as biting off more than he could chew. It was widely felt not only by his critics and media pundits, but also by many fans, that even he would not be able to bring the struggling YZR M1 up to the level of the hereto all conquering Honda RC2. V. A well publicised increase in the pace of development of the Honda machine over the winter season fuelled expectation that a Honda RC2. V in the hands of riders the calibre of Max Biaggi and Sete Gibernau would have no problem in retaining the World Title for Honda. Meanwhile, Rossi wasnt the only defection Honda had to contend with Jeremy Burgess crew chief for Rossi at Honda, along with the majority of his long established crew, were convinced by Rossi to join him at Yamaha. This was a shrewd move, and was cited by Rossi in his autobiography as being instrumental in providing him with the strong basis necessary for launching an attack on the Championship with the YZR M1. During 2. 00. 32. Yamaha stepped up to the plate by pulling out all the stops in their collaboration with Rossi and Burgess. Through a systematic regime of innovation and testing, they sought to refine the M1s traditionally strong traits such as good braking and quick handling which impressed Rossi, and marry them with good balance and transition to power. Working closely with Rossi and Burgess, Yamaha engineers under YZR M1 project leader Koichi Tsuji experimented with a number of engine modifications in an attempt to fix the power delivery, and finally it was decided to go ahead with a four valve per cylinder head configuration as opposed to the earlier five valve head, with a specially refined cylinder firing order. This turned the straight four cylinder engine from a traditional screamer, where the power pulses are spaced equally every 1. This firing order mimics the constant kinetic energy of a V4 engine while maintaining the desirable engine packaging of a traditional inline four cylinder. These developments significantly improved the torque characteristics of the engine, and coupled with slight changes to the position of the engine in the chassis, made the M1 much easier to control at the limit of adhesion while exiting corners. After a frantic winter of development and testing, the team showed the world that they had made a significant step in the right direction, when Rossi and the M1 won the BMW car at the 2. IRTA test at Catalunya, by posting the fastest lap of the open session similar to normal race qualifying. With the traditional first race of the season at Suzuka off the list due to safety considerations, the 2. Welkom in South Africa. In a quite remarkable race, Rossi came through to claim the victory, not only silencing his critics, but becoming the first man in history to win two GPs back to back with two different manufacturers. Rossi would go on to claim 8 more GP wins on his way to win the 2. Championship, with a tally of 3. Physics For Scientists And Engineers 7Th Edition Solutions more. Honda riders Sete Gibernau and Max Biaggi took second and third with 2. The 2. 00. 4 season would therefore unfold to give Rossi the opportunity he had sought to prove that it was his talent rather than just the bike that had won him his championships. In so doing, he also achieved one of the great coups in the history of Motorcycle Racing. The YZR M1 and Rossi partnership continued to dominate in 2. Championship was won by a massive 1. Honda rider Marco Melandri in second place. The 2. 00. 5 M1 was hailed by insiders to be a great race bike, it illustrated that Yamaha with input from Rossi had created a race bike to beat the others quite easily. Rossi would go on later to say that the 2. M1 was the greatest bike he has ever ridden. The 2. 00. 6 season proved a little more problematic for Yamaha, with the M1 suffering from chatter from the very first race of the year. It would be a recurring problem for all Yamaha riders in the first third of the season, and was thought to be a function of three major winter season developments namely a significant hike in engine power, a new stiffer chassis and a new construction of Michelin tyre with an even stickier compound and revised profile. Because all three developments occurred almost simultaneously, the usual meticulous testing of one development at a time was compromised and it would take much of the early season to understand and overcome the problems. This setback for Yamaha and the YZR M1 was largely responsible for Valentino Rossis mediocre season start in 2.
