YCC-T (Yamaha Chip Controlled
Throttle)
Mechanism
characteristics
FEATURES
Yamaha developed
the
YCC-T system employing
the
most advanced
electronic
control
technologies.
Electronic
control
throttle systems have
been
used on
automobiles,
but
Yamaha has developed a
fast-
er,
more compact system
specifically
for
the needs
of a sports
motorcycle.
The Yamaha-developed
system
has a high-speed
calculating
capacity
that
produces computations
of
running conditions
every
1
/
1 OOOth of a second.
The
YCC-T
system
is designed
to respond
to
the
throttle
action of
the
rider by having
the
ECU instan-
taneously
calculate the
ideal
throttle
valve opening and
generate
signals to
operate the
motor-driven
throttle
valves and thus actively
control
the intake
air volume.
The
ECU
contains two
CPUs
with
a
capacity about five times
that
of
conventional
units,
making
it
pos·
sible
for the system to
respond extremely
quickly
to the slightest
adjustments made by
the
rider.
In
par-
ticular,
optimized
control
of
the throttle
valve opening provides
the
optimum
volume
of
intake
air
for
easy-to-use torque, even
in
a
high-revving
engine.
Aims and
advantages
of usin
g
YCC·T
•
Increased engine
power
By
shortening
the air intake
path,
higher engine
speed
is possible
~
Increased
engine power.
•
Improved
driveability
Air intake
volume
is
controlled
according to the operating
conditions
~
Improved
throttle response to
meet
engine
requirement.
Driving force is controlled at
the
optimal
level
according to
the
transmission gear position and engine
speed
~
Improved
throttle control.
•
Engine braking
control
Due to
the
throttle
control,
optimal
engine braking is made
possible.
•
Simplified
idle
speed
control (ISC)
mechanism
The bypass mechanism and
ISC
actuator
are
eliminated
~
A
simple
mechanism is
used
to maintain
a steady
idle
speed.
•
Reduced
weight
Compared
to using a sub-throttle
mechanism,
weight
is
reduced.
