About the Yamaha R2

Overview

The Yamaha R2 is a motorcycle from Yamaha. It is currently on sale. With a 204 cc engine it sits in the 150–250 cc class.

Engine and performance

Power comes from a 204 cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that makes 26.5 bhp at 10,000 rpm and 19.1 Nm of torque at 8,000 rpm. Its bore is wider than its stroke (66 mm x 59.6 mm), a short-stroke layout that generally favours higher revs. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 180 PS per tonne; by that measure, it is lively, with easy overtakes and relaxed highway speeds. It has electric start.

Gearbox

It has a 6-speed manual gearbox with a 1-down, 5-up shift pattern, and a chain carries drive to the rear wheel. Its slipper clutch lightens the lever and stops the rear wheel hopping when you downshift hard.

Chassis, brakes and tyres

It is built around a backbone (Steel tube dimond frame) frame. Suspension is by telescopic upside down fork (USD fork) at the front and linked - type monocross suspension at the rear. Braking is by a 282 mm disc at the front and a 220 mm disc at the rear, with dual-channel ABS. ABS on both wheels keeps either tyre from locking under hard braking. It rides on 17-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres — 100/80 - 17 at the front and 140/70 - R17 at the rear.

Size, comfort and range

The seat is 810 mm off the ground, which is about average and suits most riders. It weighs 149 kg ready to ride. Ground clearance is 170 mm — enough for most speed breakers. It is 1,980 mm long, with 1,340 mm between the axles. It carries 12 L of fuel.

Features and equipment

Equipment includes 5 " TFT Display with Brightness Control, an LED projector headlamp, call and SMS alerts, gear position indicator, ride-by-wire throttle, shift light and low fuel indicator. Safety equipment includes engine kill switch, side-stand engine cut-off, side-stand warning and traction control. It has two riding modes: Street and Rain and Sport.

Owning the Yamaha R2

Maintaining the Yamaha R2

  • Routine servicing

    Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.

  • Engine oil & filter

    Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.

  • Brake inspection

    With Disc, 282 mm and Disc, 220 mm brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.

  • Chain cleaning & lubrication

    A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.

  • Coolant & cooling system

    A liquid-cooled engine relies on coolant. Check the level and look over hoses and the radiator for leaks or damage, and replace coolant as the owner's manual directs.

  • Air filter & spark plug

    A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.

  • Disc brake fluid

    Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point. Have its level and condition checked and change it on the interval in the owner's manual.

  • Tyre inspection

    This bike runs 100/80 - 17 / 140/70 - R17 tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.

  • Battery & electricals

    The battery is listed as 12 V, 5 Ah. Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.

Yamaha R2 specs explained

What the technical terms on this page mean.

ABS
Anti-lock braking system. It stops a wheel locking up during hard braking so the rider can keep steering. A single-channel system works on one wheel, usually the front; a dual-channel system works on both.
Liquid cooling
Coolant circulates through the engine and a radiator, keeping temperatures steadier than air alone, especially in traffic or under load.
Assist and slipper clutch
The assist part makes the clutch lever lighter. The slipper part eases the rear wheel's tendency to hop when you shift down hard.
Ride-by-wire
The throttle grip sends an electronic signal instead of pulling a cable, which allows features such as ride modes and cruise control.
Upside-down fork
A front fork mounted the opposite way round to a conventional one, with the thicker tubes at the top. It is typically stiffer under braking and cornering.
Tubeless tyres
Tyres with no inner tube. A small puncture usually loses air slowly, which makes roadside repair easier.
Kerb weight
The weight of the bike ready to ride, with its fluids and fuel, but without a rider or luggage.
Bore x stroke
The cylinder's width and the piston's travel. A larger bore relative to stroke tends to favour revs; a longer stroke tends to favour low-speed pull.
Compression ratio
How much the fuel-air mixture is squeezed before it is ignited. It is one of the factors behind an engine's efficiency and power.
