YAMAHA FZ-09 (2017-Present) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2017, Yamaha launched the FZ-09, a street motorcycle also known as the MT-09 that debuted in 2014. The FZ-09 machine was powered by an 847cc Three-cylinder powerplant mounted in a lightweight aluminum frame.

The bike was presented at the 2016 INTERMOT Motorcycle Show and came with a vast list of changes for the 2017 model year. Also, the machine was famous for its naked and supermotard elements combined together.

The long list of modifications included the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), a twin headlight design with four LED globes, and a revised fully-adjustable suspension system, offering excellent handling.

The bike came equipped from the factory with a one-piece dual seat, a large air scoop, a rear fender with a single forged aluminum arm, an Assist and Slipper (A&S) clutch, a Quick Shift System (QSS) that offered smooth shifting, and ten-spoke wheels.

In the suspension department, the 2017 Yamaha FZ-09 was equipped with a fully-adjustable 41 mm inverted telescopic fork on the front and a preload and rebound adjustable shock absorber on the rear.

In the performance department, the bike packed an 847cc four-stroke liquid-cooled three-cylinder engine capable of delivering an output power of 115 hp with a peak at 10,000 rpm and 88 Nm (65 lb-ft) torque at 8,500 rpm.

The engine was paired with a six-speed manual transmission, taking the engine power and sending it to the rear wheel through a final chain drive, pushing the bike to a top speed of 210 kph (130 mph).
