The last machine from the “breed” of 28 Yamaha YZR500 bikes, the Yamaha 0WL9 of 2002, will go into history as the “final” two-stroke. Compared to the 2001 0WL6 it had the engine moved more forward in order to have a better weight distribution and the rear swing arm was made a little lighter. It competed together with the first new 1000 cc four-strokes in 2002 and Olivier Jacques clinched pole position in the German GP with it. Norick Abe became finally 6th in the World Championship table.
