High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Yale Blue is the dark blue color used in association with Yale University. It is defined as the color of light with a 482-nm wavelength, yet more practically varies with use and history. University Printer John Gambell characterized the spirit of the color as "a strong, relatively dark blue, neither purple nor green, though it can be somewhat gray. It should be a color you would call blue." The hexadecimal value of the color is 0F4D92. The university administration defines Yale Blue as a custom color whose closest approximation in the Pantone system is Pantone 289, with Pantone 288 and Pantone 654 as related colors of higher and lower intensity.

The railway was built for the haulage of brown coal and overburden between the Yallourn open cut mine, briquette works, and power station. The Morwell Interconnecting Railway (ICR) was later constructed, linking the Yallourn mine complex with the Hazelwood open cut, briquette works, and power station. The network used overhead wire electrification, and track in the open cut mine was frequently moved using special track shifters. Locomotives were supplied by Henschel Данное издание не является...

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Flower Nagai Line is a Japanese railway line in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan. It runs from Akayu Station in Nanyo to Arato Station in Shirataka. The Flower Nagai Line is the only line operated by the third sector Yamagata Railway Company which took over the former JR East line in 1988. In 2005, Yamagata Railway was in danger of having to shut down due to low volume, leaving many residents, especially the young and old, without a mode of transportation from their farms. The only option available to the company was to try and attract more tourists to the scenic views. Lone train operator, Tatsuo Asakura, working...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The FZ-600 was Yamaha's first true attempt at a 600 cc "Race Replica" with the growing interest in MotoGP Road Racing taking hold in the mid-1980s. Many FZ owners confuse their bikes with the later FZR models due to similar name and body styling. A major difference between the FZ-600 and its successor, the FZR-600, is the Delta Box One-Frame the FZR-600 incorporated, like the one used on the earlier FZR-400s. This gave the FZRs more rigid support, tighter handling and reduced weight. Another notable difference was that the FZR-600's engine was tilted forward to a significantly greater angle, thus providing a lower center of gravity and even more handling capability. The almost horizontal angle...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The beginnings of Yamaha XS650 reach all the way back to 1955 and the HOSK SOHC 500 twin. After about 10 years of producing 500 twin, HOSK engineers went on and designed 650cc twin. Later the HOSK was acquired by Showa Corporation, and in 1960 Yamaha had bought Showa with HOSKs early design of 650cc twin. When the Yamaha XS 650 was launched in 1968 it had one of the most advanced engines in its class of large parallel twin motorcycles. The engine and gearbox are unit construction with the crankcase split horizontally for ease of assembly whereas almost all contemporaries in its class in 1968 are either unit construction with a vertically-split crankcase or pre-unit construction with separate...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Yamaha TDM is an 849 cc two-cylinder motorcycle, manufactured by the Yamaha Motor Company of Japan, that first came out in 1991. With a lot of torque, and 78 horsepower, it is considered to be a very good all-rounder. It was imported into the United States for only two years, 1992 and 1993. It was never a big seller in the United Kingdom but in Northern Europe sales were very strong. In 1996 Yamaha released the Mk2 TDM with updated bodywork and a 270 degree instead of a 360 degree firing order. This upgraded engine was first seen on the Japanese market in 1995, when Yamaha introduced the TRX850. In 2001 the 3rd incarnation of TDM arrived, the TDM 900 again with new bodywork, 6 speed...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Yamaha SR500 is a popular thumper. It first started production in 1978, as a road-going version of the popular Yamaha XT500. It experienced good sales throughout the US, Europe and Australia. The SR500 is no longer sold in any market worldwide, but its sister bike, the SR400, was manufactured in Japan until 2008 when emissions restrictions halted production. In 2010 Yamaha is reintroducing the SR400 with a fuel injection system replacing the carbouretter. The SR400 is essentially the same bike as the SR500, but with a shorter stroke and heavier muffler to pass tighter emission restrictions. The SR500 was well received on conception, largely due to its contemporary styling and reliable...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Phazer is the name of a model of snowmobile produced by the Yamaha Motor Corporation. Introduced in 1984, it became an immensely popular model for Yamaha and spawned several follow-up models (such as the Phazer II, Phazer Deluxe, Phazer Mountain Lite, Phazer FX, and Phazer GT); its design features were also incorporated into other models (such as later-model Exciters as well as the Venture Lite). Of particular note on the Phazer is way in which the headlight is directly connected to the handlebars so that the headlight follows the direction of a turn. This feature was certainly new among Yamaha models when it was introduced in 1984, and Yamaha claims that it and other features 'began a new era...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Yamaha DT is a series of mopeds and motorcycles produced by the Yamaha Motor Corporation. Models in the DT series feature an engine displacement of 50 to 400 cc (3.1 to 24 cu in). The first DT model, the DT-1, was released in 1968 and quickly sold through its initial 12,000 production run. The DT series was created by Yamaha in the late 1960s when the United States motorcycle market was down. Market research by Yamaha indicated that, despite slow motorcycle sales, there was a largely untapped market for off-road motorcycles. At the time, only a few specialty European manufacturers such as Bultaco and Husqvarna made motorcycles specifically for off-road use. Instead, many owners purchased...

While similar in style to its sibling, the YZF-R6, the 600R maintains some significant differences, including a less aggressive posture, lower revving and higher torque producing motor, a large 1 piece seat and a steel frame rather than aluminium. While the 600R started out in life as Yamaha's 600 cc class Supersport motorcycle, it is now considered a comfortable alternative to the aggressive racing motorcycles that dominate the 600 cc market.

The Yamaha OX99-11 was a sports car designed by Yamaha subsidiary Ypsilon Technology and IAD, an English engineering consultancy, which was supposed to come out in 1994. Yamaha began competing in Formula One in 1989, and using the experience they had gained during that time they wanted to build a price-no-object car based on actual Formula One technology. Even though the Formula One team was doing poorly in competition, by 1991 the team had just come out with a new engine, the OX99, and approached a German company to come up with an initial version of the car. Yamaha was not pleased with the result as it was too similar to sport cars of that time, so they contacted IAD to continue working on...

In an attempt to repeat the success of the SR 500, Yamaha placed a more modern engine derived from the XT 600 into a light, sportive street bike. While still being an air-cooled, overhead-camshaft single cylinder like its predecessor, the new engine featured a four-valved cylinder head, a two-staged carburetor, a balance shaft, and various improvements. The chassis was a lightweight steel frame with alloy wheels, a double disc brake on the front- and a single disc brake on the rear wheel. However, unlike its cheaper predecessor, the SRX 600 did not compete well on the international market. Nimble...
