2026 Yamaha YZF R3 70th AnniversaryNEW ASSIST & SLIPPER CLUTCH

The Assist & Slipper (A&S) clutch utilizes an assist cam and slipper cam to help inhibit excessive engine braking for a smooth, easy-to-handle feeling during downshifts while also reducing the amount of force required to pull the clutch lever for less hand fatigue.
