TOP FEATURES
Torquey CP2 Powerplant
Yamaha’s proven 689cc liquid-cooled, inline 2-cylinder DOHC fuel-injected CP2 engine delivers excellent power and performance throughout the rpm range for an exhilarating ride and a true Supersport experience. Its 270-degree crankshaft delivers linear torque for exciting acceleration and limited vibration.
Advanced A&S Clutch
A first for Yamaha’s CP2 platform, the Assist and Slipper clutch reduces clutch lever force while providing seamless downshifts and a controlled feeling over the bike’s engine braking. This helps make the Supersport riding experience more accessible to more riders. For fast and smooth upshifts, an optional Quick Shift System (QSS) is also available on the YZF-R7.
Thin Proportions for Perfect Control
With the slimmest proportions of the entire R-Series family, the YZF-R7 provides confident cornering performance on the track and quick, agile direction changes on twisty roads. The slim design also reduces wind resistance for optimal aerodynamics, while aerodynamic bodywork incorporates the rider’s body to improve the flow of air around the bike.
Sport Suspension
The YZF-R7 features an inverted 41mm front fork with optimized spring rate and damping settings for an excellent front-end feel during cornering and braking. The linked-type Monocross single-shock with adjustable spring preload and rebound damping strikes an ideal balance between ride comfort and Supersport performance for capability across a wide range of uses from urban commuting to track days.
Adaptive Bi-Functional LED Headlight
The iconic R-Series M-shaped intake duct and twin-eye look, along with the adaptive bi-functional LED headlight, perfectly complement the YZF-R7’s aggressive Supersport styling.
ENGINE
Torquey CP2 Powerplant
Yamaha’s proven 689cc liquid-cooled, inline 2-cylinder DOHC fuel-injected CP2 engine delivers excellent power and performance throughout the rpm range for an exhilarating ride and a true Supersport experience. Its 270-degree crankshaft delivers linear torque for exciting acceleration and limited vibration.
Linear Torque with Smooth Acceleration
The YZF-R7 boasts a 270-degree crankshaft that delivers a tactile experience of pulse and acceleration with limited vibration. The CP2 engine provides the rider a linear-feeling, direct connection from the throttle to the rear wheel.
Advanced A&S Clutch
A first for Yamaha’s CP2 platform, the Assist and Slipper clutch reduces clutch lever force while providing seamless downshifts and a controlled feeling over the bike’s engine braking. This helps make the Supersport riding experience more accessible to more riders. For fast and smooth upshifts, an optional Quick Shift System (QSS) is also available on the YZF-R7.
Quick Shift System for Smooth Upshifts
An optional Quick Shift System (QSS) can be paired with the YZF-R7 to help provide speedy, smooth upshifts. When the sensor on the shift rod detects movement in the gearshift lever, adjustments are made in the engine output according to ECU calculations to instantly cancel out the drive torque of the engaged gear to promote swifter gear changes.
Strong, Lightweight Pistons
Forged aluminum pistons with direct-plated cylinders integrated with the crank case make for lighter weight and excellent strength at extreme temperatures, ensuring reliability at higher rpm.
CHASSIS/SUSPENSION
Supersport Riding Position
The YZF-R7’s carefully developed rider’s triangle and racing-inspired cockpit puts you in a comfortable, confidence-inspiring riding position. A contoured seat combined with tank covers featuring deep knee pockets, provide optimal hip and knee positioning. Riders get the freedom to adjust positions while also maintaining a firmly planted feel in corners and sturdy body hold under braking. Separate clip-on handlebars are set in relation to rider hip and footpeg placement for a commanding riding position.
Inverted Front Fork
The YZF-R7 features a preload, rebound and compression adjustable inverted KYB 41mm front fork offering optimized spring rates and damping settings for an excellent front-end feel during cornering and braking.
Lightweight Frame Tuned for Rigidity Balance
A high-strength steel frame with a rigid-mount aluminum center brace provides an optimized balance of rigidity for linear and nimble responsiveness to rider input.
Monocross Rear Shock
The linked-type Monocross single-shock design reduces weight and further centralizes mass. Its adjustable spring preload and rebound damping are tuned to strike an ideal balance between ride comfort and sporty performance for capability across a wide range of uses, from urban commuting to track days.
Potent Braking
The Brembo radial brake master cylinder combines with radial-mounted front brake calipers on dual 298mm front brake rotors to optimize braking pressure for linear delivery with excellent performance and controllability.
Thin Proportions for Perfect Control
With the slimmest proportions of the entire R-Series family, the YZF-R7 provides confident cornering performance on the track and quick, agile direction changes on twisty roads. The slim design also reduces wind resistance for optimal aerodynamics, while aerodynamic bodywork incorporates the rider’s body to improve the flow of air around the bike.

ELECTRONICS
Digital LCD Instrumentation
A full-LCD instrument panel informs the rider of gear position, fuel capacity, real time and average fuel economy, water temp, clock, and more—all presented in a high-contrast display.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Adaptive Bi-Functional LED Headlight
The iconic R-Series M-shaped intake duct and twin-eye look, along with the adaptive bi-functional LED headlight, perfectly complement the YZF-R7’s aggressive Supersport styling.
LED Lighting
Light Emitted Diode (LED) elements are used for the front and rear turn signals, the tail light unit and the headlights. Not only do LEDs offer long life with minimal power draw, they provide brilliant illumination for confidence and visibility day or night.
Refined Sportbike Ergonomics
Thanks to the low-profile fuel tank design and compact clip-on handlebar position, the rider is able to naturally grip the machine for confidence, especially when tucking aggressively behind the windscreen on the racetrack.
Sleek R-Series Styling
The YZF-R7’s aggressive design boasts the slimmest bodywork in the Supersport lineup for optimal aerodynamics, handling and agility. The glaring face of the YZF-R7 features a compact LED headlight housed in the iconic M-shaped intake duct, while its sharp tail is reminiscent of the YZF-R1.
