FAQ

ありがちな質問をまとめてみました。かなり辛口評ですので参考まで。

Fサスはどうですか

　テレスコピック式から乗り換えても特別違和感を感じることは無いと思います。ノーズダイブしないのではなく、ノーズダイブによるジオメトリの変化を抑えるのがこのサスペンションの特徴なのです。

ABSはどうですか

　緊急回避においては絶大な効果があります。フルブレーキング状態でハンドルをこじって障害物を避ける程度のことは可能です。スポーツ走行等で超高速からABSを使って長時間のフルブレーキングをする場合、HUの容量不足で途中でABSの作動が止まる可能性があります。あくまでも補助的な安全装備とお考え下さい。
　ABS装着車は5kg程重くなります。また、ロックより少々早めにABSが効きます。これらのため、好き嫌いに個人差があります。
　エア抜きが困難です。エアが入った場合、ABS作動後次のブレーキング時にブレーキが効かなくなってしまうことがあります。GTSのエア抜き方法に関してはこちらを参照。（管理者までお問い合わせ下さい。）
　ABSの有無に関わらず、Fブレーキラインが非常に長くなるため、ブレーキのタッチが若干柔らかく感じられます。

真直ぐ走りますか

　もちろん真っ直ぐ走ります。ただし、タイヤの片減りの状態や乗り方の癖によって、他車両よりも左右非対称性がシビアに出るように思われます。
　左右のコーナリングに差があると報告されるオーナーもいますが、恐らく乗り方の問題でしょう。

ハンドル切れ角はどうですか

　十分切れます。Ducati等より余程普通です。

ハンドリングはどうですか

　素直です。90年代初頭のYAMAHA車なりと考えて良いと思います。
　どちらかというと、リアに加重を掛けて曲がるタイプです。
　寝かす、起こすの動作がトラクションコントロールと連動しにくい傾向が感じられます。具体的には、寝かした状態でアクセルを開けても車体が起きず、旋回したまま加速していく、と言う感じです。

走っていてFホイールが取れませんか

　とれません。
　ばかばかしい質問ですが、出先で割と良く聞かれる質問なのです。

取り回しはどうですか

　非常に悪いです。マスの集中化、低重心化を謳っていますが、実際には若干腰高で重さを感じます。

足付きはどうですか

　車格に対して、悪い方ではないと思います。

風防性はどうですか

　かなり高い方です。ハイスクリーンの場合、200km/hでもどうにか伏せずに走れます。伏せれば無音です。
　ハイスクリーンでは、風が目線より上には当たります。このため高速巡航では頭が揺さ振られ、肩や首が凝ります。150km/h以上で2時間以上走り続けるような場合の話ですが。
　風防性だけでなく、風の巻き込みが良くコントロールされており、風によりわずかに背中を押されるような状態となります。このため。巡航時の姿勢維持が非常に楽です。

乗り心地はどうですか

　良いです。手への振動が多少あります。

最高速はどのくらいですか

　メーター読み250km/h程度です。パニア付きだと200km/h程度です。

燃費はどのくらいですか

　街乗り15km/L、ロング17km/L、講習走りで8km/L程度でしょうか。乗り方次第ですが、余程極端でない限り差が少ないようです。

航続距離はどのくらいですか

　中高速走行では満タン20Lで320km(200mile)は走れます。街乗りでは250kmくらいで心配になります。燃料計があまりアテになりません。E振り切っても3Lは残っているようですが、振り切る前にガス欠を起こした実績もあります。

積載性はどうですか

　シートがフラットで広く、グラブバーにフックを掛ける孔があるので良いです。
　本格ツアラーとしてはケース装着をお薦めしたい。

タイヤはどのくらい持ちますか

　タイヤ次第、乗り方次第です。
参考まで、管理人の場合D205でF10000km、R12000km。D220STでF8000km、R7000km。

タンデム走行はどうですか

　非常に楽です。ピリオンライダーは寝ます。
　タンデム時の方がRに荷重がかかり、旋回が軽くなります。
　シートが若干前下がりなので、ブレーキ時には滑って嫌だそうです。

パーツ供給はどうですか

　純正パーツの供給は今のところ全く問題ありません。

アフターパーツはありますか

　あまりありません。特にマフラー換える趣味の方は苦労されます。触媒があるので、あまりマフラー交換もお薦めしません。

GTS1000 DEVELOPMENT GOALS
プロジェクト“069”がぶち上げられたとき、開発チームの狙いはプロデュースすること　技術的に卓越したスポーツツアラー　それは　高いシャシとエンジンパフォーマンスに卓越したライダーとパッセンジャーの快適性が合体した　するものである。いわば、私たちのゴールはこれまで造られたものに比べ、最も洗練されたYAMAHAのモーターサイクルを造ることだった。 When project '069' was launched our developments tearn’s aim was to) produce a technologically superior Sports Tourer that would offer high chassis and engine performance combined with excellent rider and passenger comfort. In short, our goal was to build the most sophisticated road-going Yamaha motorcycle ever produced. To achieve this out, team set about designing the completely new Omega chassis with its single-sided swinging arm front suspension and hub link steering - a design offering previously unattainable levels of roadholding and high-speed stability. Powering the GTS is a specially r-modified version of our highly acclaimed FZRI000 motor. To achieve dramatically increased low to mid range torque our engineers have modified valve tinting and lift, and for smooth, stepless power delivery the 1002cc S-valve motor is fitted with Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) as well as a 3-way catalytic converter tot- reduced emissions. Once we had created the new Omega chassis and high-torque motor our next task was to create the most comfortable seating position possible for both the rider and passenger. This has been achieved by developing a natural seat/footrest/handlebar layout combined with the use of an aerodynamically efficient fairing with air management. By using advanced chassis and engine technology combined with an ergonomically-designed riding position and low drag fairing we hive not only met, but exceeded our target for rider and passenger comfort. The result is a motorcycle that in every sense is ahead of its time!
YAMAHA GTS1000 TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS:
CHASSIS
Omega Chassis Concept ensures high rigidity and low centre of gravity for excellent roadholding and stability. Single-sided swinging arm front suspension gives excellent handling together with a high level of comfort – and with its inherent anti-dive properties delivers remarkable suspension performance. Easily accessible Final fully adjustable front shock absorl3er. Excellent rider and passenger comfort. Large diameter-ventilated front disc with 6-pot caliper - the first time this design liars been used on a production motorcycle. Monocross rear suspension.
OMEGA CHASSIS CONCEPT
	The Omega chassis represents a revolutionary new way of constructing motorcycles. Unlike anything previously manufactured by Yamaha, this design uses a single.-sided swinging arm front suspension instead of conventional telescopic forks - and because. this new system separates steering and suspension functions it has given our engineers greater freedom in setting chassis dimensions. Main frame beams are manufactured from multiple aluminium castings welded together, risking for a very strong yet extremely light structure with a low centre of gravity - while detachable, down-tubes run between the beam ends under the engine. Both the front and rear aluminium swinging arms are mounted directly to the main frame, while the front subframe supports the steering head, radiator and fairing and the rear subframe supports the seat, rear bodywork and electrical components. Front and rear shocks are also mounted directly onto the main frame, and die cast aluminium brackets bolted to the rear of the main structure support the passenger footrests and serve as mounting points for the rear subframe and muffler.
High levels of rigidity have been achieved by constructing the frame to be a very close fit around the motor, and for easy maintenance tile rigid side of the frame can be unbolted. With no conventional steering head, fork tubes or triple clamps the omega chassis also allows greater freedom when mounting items such as the radiator, instruments and other front end components. And the name Omega? This was chosen because when viewed from the left side, the GTS1000's chassis resembles the Creek character Omega.
SINGLE-SIDED SWINGING ARM FRONT SUSPENSION
The GTS1000's single-sided swinging arm front suspension consists of an aluminium swinging arm mounted to the main frame. A fully adjustable shock absorber is mounted between the swinging arm and frame, arm steering inputs are transmitted from the handlebar crown through a steering box to a vertical cast aluminium spar (also called a knuckle arm) to the front wheel. This vertical spar is also supported by in upper arm mounted between the top of the spar and the main frame. Ball-joints located at the front of the, swinging arm just above and below the axle and just below the- steering box permit the front wheel and vertical spar assembly to turn left and right. This design offers the rider many benefits. Because the single shock is independent of the structure. which supports and steers the front wheel, its function is less influenced by the twisting and bending moments caused by braking and normal riding.
As a result this new front suspension system functions extremely well under a wide variety of road and load conditions to give excellent roadholding characteristics. Another advantage of this system is that it gave our engineers a large. degree of freedom in establishing chassis dimensions. Depending on the location of the pivot points for the upper and lower arms, the length of the arms and the distance between the ball joints, the rate of change ill rake and trail and other important factors could be changed to give the, most appropriate dimensions. Another feature of this design is that the trail and wheelbase have very small rates of change during suspension action - the wheel moves in an almost vertical plane, thereby maintaining virtually constant steering characteristics regardless of suspension action. In addition, because there is almost no rearward movement of the wheel when the suspension is compressed our- engineers have been free to locate the engine further forwards to achieve the desired front/rear weight balance. Finally, with its inherent anti-dive characteristics the GTS1000's front suspension eliminates the pitching motion experienced with conventional forks under braking to give a much smoother and more comfortable ride. Fully adjustable for spring preload, compression and rebound damping, the single front shock absorber offers 116mm of wheel travel.
ENGINE
1002cc liquid-cooled 5 valve slant block DOHC Genesis motor designed 1o produce massive low to mid-range torque.. Electronic Fuel injection (EFI) for excellent efficiency and reduced emissions. Liquid-cooled oil cooler for extended motor life. Curved radiator with large surface area for efficient cooling. Chokeless operation due to EFI. 3-way catalytic converter. 　 Developed from our proven and highly successful FZR1000 engine, the heavily modified GTS1000 engine has been specifically designed to produce significantly higher low to mid range torque with a smooth, stepless power delivery that is ideally suited to Sports Tourer usage.
This has been achieved in a number of ways, and in particular by the use of Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI). Controlled by an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) the GT51 000's injection system delivers precisely the correct amount of fuel to each cylinder to suit the prevailing conditions. So whatever the altitude or ambient temperature, the engine 'jetting' is always right over a wide range of conditions - an especially important feature on a Sports Tourer. In addition to these advantages, EFI also increases fuel efficiency and eliminates the need for a choke. Low to mid range. performance has also been boosted by altering valve timing and lift, giving the GTS a strong spread of smooth pulling power. Together with the advanced suspension system, highly efficient fairing and ergonomically-designed riding position, this rider-friendly motor gives an incredibly smooth and relaxing ride.
ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION (EFI)
The GTS1000's Electronic Fuel injection system consists of 4 injectors located in the machines inlet tracts, with each injector operated by an Electronic Control Unit (ECU). The ECU uses information gathered from sensors on and around the engine, including throttle sensor, intake air temperature sensor in the airbox, air intake pressure sensor in the inlet tract, an rpm sensor, water temperature sensor, cylinder identification sensor and oxygen feedback sensor. At low engine loads the precise quantity of fuel to be injected is determined by the amount of vacuum in the inlet tract, while. at high loads it is determined by the amount of throttle opening. By independently monitoring each cylinder the exact amount of fuel is always injected which significantly improves throttle response and fuel efficiency over ii wide range of operating conditions. So regard less of whether [lie GTS1000 is being ridden at sea level or high up in the mountains, in a very hot or very cold climate, the fuel mixture will always be accurate. And because Electronic Fuel Injection eliminate the need for a choke, the GTS is quick and easy to start whether the engine is hot or cold. Fitted with a self diagnosis function, any potential problem on the new Electronic Fuel Injection system is easy to identify and put right.
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
As well as being remarkably smooth, the new GTS1000 powerplant is also cleaner than a conventional engine because it is filled with a 3-way catalytic converter. Used in conjunction with Electronic Fuel Injection this stainless steel honeycomb design catalyzer offers low flow resistance and reduces HC by approximately 60%, CO by approximately 70%,, and NOx by approximately 60%.
BRAKES, WHEELS & TYRES
The GTS1000 represents many firsts for Yamaha, and with its-6-pot opposed piston caliper front brake it is the first production motorcycle fitted with this system. Operating a large, centrally-mounted .33Omm ventilated disc, this Flew caliper design ensures dependable braking, and is backed up by all 282iiii-n ventilated rear with twin pot caliper. New design 'I 7 inch cast alloy wheels are fitted with a 130/60/17 front tyre and 170/60/17 rear for excellent traction, and to accommodate. the new single-sided swinging arm front suspension the front wheel axle. is considerably offset.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
The ABS system used on the GTS1OOOA is very similar to that used oil the FJ1200A, and its advanced design incorporates an Flc-Electronic Control Unit (ECU) using dual microcomputers with a self-diagnosis function. A Hydraulic Unit (HU) controls the flow of brake fluid by means of a flow control valve, pressure control solenoid valve, buffer chamber, hydraulic pump and electric motor. The HU is controlled by the ECU which receives signals at 8 millisecond intervals from sensors at the front and rear wheels which it analyses using dual microcomputers. If the ECU senses imminent wheel lock-up it will sign the HU to increase and decrease brake fluid pressure at up to 10 times per second to prevent lock up at the relevant wheel The rider becomes aware of the ABS operation by feeling the pulsating brake fluid pressure al the front brake and rear brake levers. If the ABS system ever malfunctions a warning light is displayed on the instrument panel and the machine reverts to normal non-ABS assisted braking, Weighing only 2.8 kg, the HU for the GTS1000's ABS is located centrally in the chassis to maintain the low centre of gravity achieved by this new machine.
RIDER COMFORT
Full fairing for efficient air management and excellent wind protection. Natural riding position gives high levels of rider and passenger cornfort and reduces fatigue on long rides. Anti-dive front suspension eliminates pitching under braking. Proven Monocross rear suspension for stability and comfort. Omega chassis ensures high speed stability. Large, comfortable seat. Storage spaces ill batik and body for personal items. Car-style instrument panel for comprehensive information.
RIDE COMFORT
As described in the introduction, one of our main aims when developing this revolutionary new Sports Tourer was to offer the highest possible levels of rider and passenger comfort This has been achieved by the use of an aerodynamically-efficient fairing, natural riding position and a luxurious scat, together with the GTS1000's excellent new front suspension system and our proven Monocross rear end. We've also provided useful storage compartments for personal belongings, and fitted the machine with out- most comprehensive instrument panel ever.
FULL FAIRING
As every rider who has ridden at high speeds knows, comfort on a motorcycle is dramatically influenced by air velocity. The fairing and bodywork on the GTS1OOO have been designed to manage the airflow in such a way as to minimise turbulence and maximise wind protection. Available as standard with a choice of Sports or touring screens, the GTS fairing deflects turbulence and creates a relatively stable pocket of air around the rider and passenger. This extremely efficient design achieves a remarkably low coefficient of drag and also reduces wind and air noise induced fatigue. Built-in mirrors give extra weather protection for the rider's hands, and the tyre-hugging rear fender keeps dirt and water in its place.
RIDING POSITION
One of the most critical features for any long distance machine is the riding position. In Keeping wills our aim of producing an advanced Sport-tourer we paid close attention to creating a seat/footrest/handlebar relations for the rider and a seat/footrest/rider relationship for the passenger that would ensure a natural riding position. Neither too far forward nor too upright, the GTS1000's riding position ensures high levels of comfort.
SEAT
Long, roomy, deeply padded and comfortable, the dual seat allows the rider and passenger to shift their weigfii around and find the most comfortable position.
STORAGE SPACES
On(a of the benefits of the Omega chassis design is that it frees up a great deal of space that would otherwise be occupied on a conventional machine. For example, the fuel tank features a built-in storage compartment ideal for storing gloves, maps or other small items, and further storage space is available ill the tail and tinder the
INSTRUMENTATION LIGHTING AND SECURITY
	The GTS instrument panel is both elegant and functional, and includes a speedometer with twin tripmeters, tachometer, clock, fuel gauge and a full range of indicator lights including one for water temperature. With its automotive style layout, the instruments are easy to read, and for high reliability and convenience both the speedometer and tachometer are. Electronically operated cable-free designs. Headlights throw a broad beam to give excellent forwarf and peripheral illumination, and for improved aerodynamics and enhanced looks both the front and rear turning signals are built ill to the fairing and rear light cluster respectively. To deter thieves the, GTS is equipped with a speciality hardened 7-leaf tumbler ignition switch which resists attempts to penetrate it with drills and screwdrivers and should any attempt be made to by-pass the switch a sensor commands an automatic cut-out to immobilise the EFI.
MONOCROSS REAR SUSPENSION
Our proven Monocross suspension system is used at the back end for smooth, accurate operation. Created by a lightweight Deltabox swinging arm, the preload, compression and rebound adjustable shock gives a full 13Omm rear wheel travel for a comfortable ride even when fully loaded.
PAINT
Another first on the GTS is our use of a new painting process developed by Yamaha. Called Melange, this patent-pending technique achieves an outstanding finish with amazing depth and clarity, and with its semimetallic finish this new system emphasises the high quality image of the new GTS1000.
ACCESSORIES
The GTS1000 has been designed as an advanced sport-tourer and in line with this concept Yamaha has developed pannier boxes as optional accessory items. These panniers feature an all-new mounting system and have been developed in close co-operation with Krauser. They will be available exclusively as Genuine Yamaha Accessories through the Yamaha dealer network. The panniers will be available in two sizes with the larger version capable of storing an integral helmet.
