There's a reason Rossi insisted on his M1 stay carbureted for years while Yamaha was shipping the ycc-t junk on the R1. It was quite public and controversial at the time. Obviously Yamaha was pressuring him to market their ycc-t by winning races with it, but he kept rejecting it after testing and kept dominating motogp using carbs instead.

But this was all I could find: https://www.motorcycledaily.com/2002/02/27february02yamahamotogp/ https://www.motorcycledaily.com/2002/02/27february02yamahamo...
