YAMAHA FZ-07 (2016-Present) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2017, Yamaha released the FZ-07, a standard or Universal Japanese Motorcycle (UJM), also known as the MT-07, that came with minor modifications, such as the addition of an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) and tuned engine for low-mid range torque and linear throttle response.

The bike debuted in 2014 and was released in the United States in 2015, packing a 689cc four-stroke DOHC parallel-twin engine with a cross-plane crankshaft design mounted in a compact, diamond-type, high-tensile steel frame.

The 2017 Yamaha FZ-07 came with a sharp design, a two-piece dual seat, a single headlight, a black-finished engine, a short exhaust system, a side stand, a conventional handlebar design, and 10-spoke lightweight cast-aluminum wheels.

The bike's suspension was handled by a 41 mm conventional telescopic fork with 130 mm wheel travel on the front and an adjustable link-type shock absorber with 130 mm wheel travel on the rear.

The bike was fitted with an Anti-Lock-Braking System (ABS) in the safety department, working in tandem with four-piston calipers and two 282 mm discs on the front wheel. A 245 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel handled the stopping power.

The 2017 Yamaha FZ-07 was powered by a lightweight and compact 689cc four-stroke liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine, capable of providing an output power of 75 hp with a peak force at 9,000 rpm and 68 Nm (50 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.
