At the heart of these motorcycles is a 998cc liquid-cooled inline 4-cylinder DOHC engine, delivering exceptional power and performance. The engine features a crossplane crankshaft design, providing a linear torque curve and enhanced traction. With a compression ratio of 13.0:1, it achieves optimal combustion efficiency and power output. The fuel delivery system utilizes a sophisticated Mikuni fuel injection system with YCC-T and YCC-I, ensuring precise throttle response and performance across the rev range.

The transmission is a 6-speed multi-plate slipper clutch, designed for smooth and controlled downshifts. The chassis is a Deltabox aluminum frame, offering a perfect balance of rigidity and lightweight agility. The suspension system includes a fully adjustable 43mm inverted fork at the front and a fully adjustable link-type rear shock, both providing superb handling and stability. The braking system features dual 320mm hydraulic disc brakes at the front and a 220mm hydraulic disc at the rear, ensuring powerful and reliable stopping power.

The electronics package is comprehensive, including a Traction Control System (TCS), Slide Control System (SCS), Lift Control System (LIF), and Launch Control System (LCS), along with a quick shifter for seamless gear changes. The instrumentation is a full LCD display, offering all necessary information at a glance. The aerodynamic bodywork is not only visually striking but also functional, designed to reduce drag and improve airflow. The YZF-R1M variants additionally feature Öhlins Electronic Racing Suspension (ERS) and a Communication Control Unit (CCU) for data logging and fine-tuning of performance parameters.
