20. Increase Acceleration Intake & Exhaust Ports 05 vs 06 Comparison 06 Refinements ◆ The cylinder head’s intake ports were refined in shape and its exhaust ports increased in size for an accelerated flow of volume into the smaller combustion chambers combined with faster and more forceful exhaust.

21. Increase Acceleration  Crank shaft material was changed for more toughness, feed back from race technology. ◆ In valve spring was doubled for higher rev performance. Double In-Valve Spring, High-Endurance Material Crank Shaft Higher Rev achieved by Material Change 05YM 06YM

22. Increase Acceleration Clutch 05YM 06YM  Clutch outer was changed with more rigidity for smoother starting, feed back from race technology.

23. Increase Acceleration Transmission Gear ◆ Gear dog shape was modified to gain more linearity when acceleration and deceleration, which gives overall smoother riding feel.

29. Shorten Trail length  The steering head’s caster angle was reduced by a quarter of a degree, from 23 degrees, 45 minutes to 23 degrees, 25 minutes for a reduction in trail from 102mm to 100mm that helps sharpen steering response and overall handling. Steering Geometry 05YM 06YM 14001410102100 23°45‘ 23°25‘

30. Shorten Trail length  The swingarm was reduced in length by 8mm, which combines with the reduced caster angle to shorten the chassis’ wheelbase by 10mm, from 1,410mm to 1,400mm. Swingarm 05 vs 06 Comparison 633 628 589(Set Position)581(Set Position)
