The Japanese factory included an aerodynamic tweak on the M1 at Le Mans to improve acceleration out of the low-gear hairpins.
The Doctor put in a solid performance and managed a fifth-place finish.
However, he was nowhere near championship pace setter Marc Marquez, who already looks the standout performer this season.
The Catalan was rarely threatened at the iconic French circuit and recorded another memorable win.

In the aftermath, Rossi lamented a lack of pace on his bike.
"We have a problem with the engine, the difference is too great,” he told Spanish daily Marca.
“The rivals have improved, and I am the slowest of the four Yamaha, and we can improve it.
"We can do something with the acceleration, there is room for improvement.”
