Yamaha FZ1

Key Features:



Our ultimate street brawler brings 998cc of fuel-injected power to the fray, in a light-and-strong aluminum frame.
Sculpted bodywork and a comfortable handlebar position for great looks and rider comfort.
Adjustable suspension lets the FZ1 be dialed in for a wide range of uses—everything from urban assault to sport touring.


New for 2011:



The ECU mapping has been revised to achieve improved throttle response in the low speed range.


Engine:



Compact design, 998cc DOHC 20-valve engine is tuned for tremendous mid-range punch and massive top-end power.
Fuel injection with computer-controlled sub-throttle valves provides precise fuel/air mixture for superb power delivery across the entire rev range.
Closed-deck cylinder block provides great strength while allowing a narrow engine in spite of big, 77mm bores.
Narrow-angle five-valve combustion chambers produce a highly efficient 11.5:1 compression ratio.
Carburized connecting rods with fracture split big ends produce a quick-revving engine with excellent high-rpm durability.
High silicon-content ceramic-composite cylinder lining reduces friction and maximizes heat dissipation for consistent power delivery.
Four-into two-into one short-style exhaust system with Exhaust Ultimate Power valve (EXUP®), a stainless catalizer and 02 sensor. Delivers outstanding power throughout the FZ1’s broad rpm range while meeting all emissions regulations.
Race-inspired curved radiator with twin ring-style fans keeps everything cool under all conditions.


Chassis/Suspension:



Aggressive chassis geometry with Supersport inspired 51 percent front wheel weight bias. Provides quick and nimble handling.
Short 4.8-gallon fuel tanks allows the rider to move into a forward position. Rider forward ergonomics move the rider into a position of great control.
Cast aluminum frame uses the engine as a stressed member. Allows for optimal rigidity, light weight and superb handling.
Stressed-engine design holds the engine in place with six mounts, for excellent vertical stiffness and handling.
Controlled-Fill (CF) aluminum swingarm. Lightweight and tuned for excellent handling and tire grip; looks great, too.
Fully adjustable 43mm inverted fork and a single shock with adjustable preload and rebound damping. Tunable for sport touring or track days.
320mm front discs squeezed by monoblock four-piston calipers up front and a single 245mm rear disc serve up strong and consistent stopping power.
Removable subframe for easy maintenance and detachable passenger footpegs for even more stripped-down style.
Light, five-spoke wheels and fat radial tires, including a 190/50-ZR17 rear, complete the look and serve up the traction.
