Motorcycle Frames for Yamaha YZF600R
The Yamaha YWF600R is a sports bike that was produced by Yamaha between 1997 and 2007. It features a heavy Deltabox frame that is known for its rigidity because it is made from steel. As this frame is patented by Yamaha, the only means of repairing a YZF600R model is by using replacement parts.
What is a Deltabox frame?The Deltabox frame is patented by Yamaha and found on most of its sports bikes, including the YZF600R, and most Yamaha snowmobiles. It was originally developed by a Spanish engineer, Antonio Cobas. Although steel makes the frame rigid, its triangular chassis shape adds to the strength of this system. This makes it a framework to support machinery that is used in off-road applications and on uneven terrain.
How is a Deltabox frame made?Yamaha uses controlled flow die-casting to increase the rigidity of the Deltabox frame. Controlled flow die-casting injects alloys under pressure into a vacuum-held die to reduce air bubbles and keep the casting thin. This results in a consistent frame that is strong and lightweight.
What key parts make up the Yamaha YZF600R frame?The frame is the part of a bike that holds everything together; the brakes, transmission, rear wheel, and fuel tank are joined together by the frame. It is also the starting point for building a new bike from scratch. These parts make up the Yamaha YWF600R frame:
- A rigid, triangle-shaped chassis: The chassis is the main body of the motorcycle frame. The design of the frame for the YZF600R model is patented, so it is sold as one piece. In this case, the frame has a special design that allows the engine to sit as low as possible on the chassis. Furthermore, the front of the frame is equipped for the attachment of the brakes and a front-wheel suspension. This allows the rider
- Rear sub-frame shelf: The sub-frame shelf is an important part of the motorcycle because it provides a secure foundation for heavier parts of the bike.
- Rear swing arm: This part of the frame serves as the foundation for the rear suspension. The rear swing arm aids in shock absorption.
- Frame sliders: Frame sliders are small pieces that are added to the frame on the interior of the bike. These pieces keep the metal of the exterior body from being pushed inward and affecting the internal structure.
