The new Yamaha VMAX is equipped with a 1679cc, 4-stroke, 4-valve, liquid-cooled, V-type, DOHC engine with a 6 speed gearbox. The 1679cc engine of Yamaha VMAX produces 200 PS power at 9000rpm and 166.8 Nm torque at 6500rpm. The 1679cc power plant of this bike offers great acceleration to cross the mark of 60 Mph(96 Kmph) speed in just 3.0 seconds and make it able to touch the top speed mark of 310 Kmph, with an electronic cut off at 220kmph. Yamaha VMAX will have a true super speed bike image and features. 
The biggest change in technology in the new VMAX's engine is the switch to fuel-injection over the carbureted setup of the old 1,198cc mill. The end result is an engine that produces 200 PS of power and 166.8Nm of torque. To cope with the increased power outputs, the VMAX's engine now uses forged aluminium pistons and Fracture-split (FS) carburized con rods. Weight reduction and mass centralization is the new mantra here, with use of lightweight materials wherever possible. The engine also receives a healthy dose of Yamaha's G.E.N.I.C.H. (Genesis in Electronic engineering aimed at New, Innovative Control technology based on Human sensibilities) engineering philosophy that uses technologies like YCC-I (Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake) and YCC-T (Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle) which have been successfully implemented on the Yamaha R1 over the last few years.The YCC-I system is designed to vary the intake funnel length to give an optimized intake pulse that best suits the prevailing engine speed. In very general terms, a long intake passage tends to improve low to mid-range torque while a short passage helps at higher engine revs. In the VMAX, when the engine revs climb over 6,650rpm, electronic servomotors make each intake funnel separate instantly, creating a shorter intake measuring only 54mm, which enables the massive V4 motor to deliver even stronger performance from the mid-range right through to peak rpm. YCC-T on the other hand is a fly-by-wire system which using high computing speed assesses the engine's running conditions every millisecond and factors that into the equation along with the amount of throttle input from the rider to optimize the amount the throttle bodies need to open. This allows for instant throttle response at any engine speed along with the desired torque curve in all conditions and also prevents the engine from bogging down should the throttle be snapped open too quickly.
Just like its predecessor, power to the rear wheels is sent through a shaft drive system. But the new VMAX's system has been made much slimmer and more compact, while reliability has been dramatically improved. Among the other race-bred technologies to make their way on to the new VMAX is a slipper clutch, which prevents rear wheel lock up when downshifting rapidly. The new 4-1-2-4 exhaust system with short upswept mufflers not only sounds and looks fantastic, it also features a 3-way honeycomb catalyser to reduce exhaust emissions and meet stringent EU3 regulations.
