Yamaha Y-AMT: Automated Manual Transmission Technology
Two Distinct Riding Characters at One Button Press
Y-AMT integrates advanced electronic actuators with Yamaha's ride-by-wire throttle and engine mapping:
Tactile Hand-Operated Control
Shifts are actuated using an intuitive see-saw handlebar lever. Pull the plus (+) lever to upshift and push the minus (-) lever to downshift, or execute both shifts with your index finger alone so your thumb remains locked to the grip.
With no foot gear lever to operate, your left foot stays locked into the footpeg, dramatically improving lower body weight transfer and bike control when carving Lancashire corners through the Ribble Valley.
Dual-Program Automatic Drive
Effortless riding tailored to your mood. Switch between two distinct transmission mapping programs with a dedicated right-hand handlebar button:
- D+ Mode (Sport): Holds revs higher, shifting late in the powerband for aggressive acceleration and enthusiastic blasts.
- D Mode (Urban/Touring): Shifts earlier at lower RPM for silky smooth commuting through Blackburn or Preston traffic.
Jin-Ki Kanno: Unity of Rider and Machine
Yamaha develops motorcycles around the concept of Jin-Ki Kanno—the seductive exhilaration of becoming completely one with the motorcycle. Because hands possess a significantly faster neural connection to the brain than feet, shifting by hand reduces reaction delay, allowing you to channel 100% of your concentration into throttle application, braking points, lean angles, and tyre grip.
