This lightweight and compact engine has linearly distributed brute force. This three-cylinder with four valves per cylinder has improved combustion and higher torque than the four-cylinder engine with similar volume.
Less weight and compactness of the Yamaha enabled the creation of a small aluminum frame at which the engine will be placed, and is itself based on two-wheelers, he became extremely compact.

The new engine and a new frame is 20 pounds lighter than the same components on two-wheels with similar displacement engine as a Yamaha MT-09 brings a mass of 188 kg, which makes it one of the lightest two-wheeler with an engine larger than 700 cc.
