2010 Yamaha RS Vector GT
N ew to the lineup this year, the Yamaha RS Vector GT sports Yamaha's highly praised Genesis 120FI 4-stroke engine with an advanced fuel-injection system that delivers spot-on performance and throttle response across the range. A unique Engine Braking Reduction System allows a small amount of air to pass through the fuel injection system when the throttle is released, giving riders a “coasting” sensation.
All Genesis 120FI sleds feature a small radiator and fan on the right hand side of the engine cab, which improves the sled’s cooling system function by 23% versus the previous carbed Vector GT, resulting in greater engine durability and performance.
Yamaha's patented rear exit design serves many performance-enhancing functions on the RS Vector GT. First, it maximizes horsepower by using a straight exhaust pipe design. Second, it reduces the amount of under-hood heat produced. And third, the rear-exiting design distributes weight to contribute to the excellent balance of the sled.
The RS Vector GT also sports Yamaha's 2nd-generation front suspension geometry which features short spindles and long A-arms. The suspension was engineered to deliver excellent cornering stability and consistent turning effort throughout its travel stroke. It delivers 9 inches of vertical travel and sets the skis at 42 inches. Steering is consistent, because the spindle caster is maintained at a constant 23 degrees.
To match the tall and forward position, a single-piece, dual-hooked handlebar is standard fare on the RS Vector GT. The hooks have the same grip material as the main bar section, for consistent control, regardless of hand position on the grip.
