The fuel injected mill is mated to a five-speed constant mesh transmission system and uses wet multiple plate clutch to transmit the power.

The V-Max is known for its powerful V4 engine, unique styling, and performance-oriented features. The latest iteration of the Yamaha V-Max was the 2020 model, which was powered by a 1,679cc V4 engine that produced 197 horsepower and 123 lb-ft of torque. It featured a unique intake design and exhaust system that helped to optimize its performance. The bike also had a slipper clutch, traction control, and fully adjustable suspension. Overall, the Yamaha V-Max is a high-performance cruiser motorcycle that appeals to riders who want a powerful, stylish, and unique machine. However, it is important to note that due to its high performance and relatively heavy weight, the V-Max may not be suitable for novice riders or those who are not comfortable handling a powerful motorcycle.
