Do You Remember.....Yamaha YZF1000 Thunderace Classic Motorbikes

Yzf Thunderace. 1997 Yamaha YZF 1000 R Thunderace The Thunderace is actually a bit of a mongrel, the 5-valve four-cylinder mill was spawned from an FZR1000 mold, and the frame was adapted from the vastly underrated YZF750R EXUP valve The exhaust powervalve, situated where the four downpipes meet the single end pipe, is an ingenious device that artificially changes the system's tuned length.But it requires regular maintenance if it's to work as intended

The extreme heat and soot inside the exhaust can cause the valve's blade to stick in situ. The YZF1000R was a stop-gap bike from the FZR1000 to the YZF-R1 and produced from existing parts bins
