Designed to let riders focus on performance, the Y-AMT offers both manual and automatic modes for smooth gear transitions. Hand-operated gear shifting, as opposed to traditional foot pedals, provides faster and more intuitive control. This allows riders to concentrate on throttle, braking, lean angles, body positioning, and tire grip, enhancing overall ride control and especially benefiting cornering.
The system features adjustable gearshift characteristics, accommodating rider preferences and varying road conditions. The manual transmission (MT) mode enables quick and precise shifts via handlebar-mounted levers marked with “+” for upshifts and “-” for downshifts. These levers are ergonomically designed for minimal finger movement, even while wearing gloves, ensuring maximum control and ease of use. The clutch operates smoothly across all speeds, delivering a natural feel and maximizing the performance of Yamaha’s crossplane technology.
For those preferring an automatic experience, the fully automatic transmission (AT) mode offers two distinct programs. The ‘D+’ mode provides sporty gear changes for dynamic, enjoyable rides on winding roads, maintaining high RPMs for a thrilling experience. For long-distance and urban commuting, the ‘D’ mode ensures smoother shifts and lower RPMs, boosting confidence and handling at low speeds. Riders can also manually override the automatic mode at any time using the shift levers.
With the Y-AMT, gear changes are consistently smooth, allowing riders to fully engage with the nuances of body positioning, cornering, braking, and acceleration, whether navigating urban streets or off-road trails.
