New Yamaha Sport 3 cylinder SxS?

[JACKAL]

So I haven't seen anyone comment on the third Yamaha teaser video let out yesterday, gotta slow mo it but definitely show three header pipes coming out of the head assembly. Triple cylinder it is!

Here is a pause of the video.


And here is what they say it will look like.

Those two pictures are not the same motor.

Lol...
I haven't a clue. I do see header differences but not familiar enough with Yamaha engines to know.

I agree now that you mention it.
Header tubes are different lengths from exhaust ports to the bend. The ports are at different angles and have the header bolts in different positions. Also the round "thing" above the center port on the full motor is missing on the screen cap.

Yes. I have been searching Yamaha 3 cylinder photo's online all night and I haven't found it.

I believe it is the Yamaha Genesis 4 stroke series this is awfully close here:

This engine is 130 HP using triple 41mm throttle bodies just a hair over 1000cc.Yamaha could easily knock 15cc per cylinder off to be 999cc

 

[hondarock]

It is still different, but it could be based on that motor. They would have to make changes to it to make it work with in a sxs so the head might end up looking different.

The interesting thing about the Genesis motor is that it was originally basically just three cylinders of the four cylinder FJR 1300 motorcycle engine. Another interesting thing is that the FJR 1300 is available with a 5 speed electronically controlled and shifted transmission and clutch.
Supposedly the new sporty has a paddle shifted transmission. Convenient.
Just speculation, but.

Seen this picture on Instagram today. Looks different!

 

[Hondasxs]

Look what I found coming from Yamaha!
112 hp
998cc
Manual 5 speed!

It wouldn't take much for Honda to top that!

 

[Kyle]

Can't seem to open the file on mobile device.

Never mind got it. Should be interesting with a manual 5 speed! Wonder if it's there three cylinder motor they have in there sleds.

 

[Hondasxs]

There ya have it the YXZ. Looks pretty cool gotta say. Always was a Yamaha fan. Had a raptor 700r thing flat ripped in the dunes. The fenders on that look very similar.

Based upon patent drawings posted to another forum, it does appear to have a truly manual 5 speed.
