YAMAHA FZ1 Fazer TE (2007-2009) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2007, Yamaha released the FZ1 Fazer TE, a touring edition version of the standard FZ1 machine that was specifically designed for long-distance touring purposes. The bike was fitted with touring accessories that offered more comfort and convenience.

The Yamaha FZ1 Fazer TE was more dressed than the standard model, with a full cowling and extended windscreen for more wind protection, side panniers, and a corresponding mounting and locking kit.

In every other department, the TE model was identical to the standard machine, delivering the same output from the R1-derived engine, softened by the same suspension system, and stopped by the same braking system.

The diamond-shaped die-cast aluminum frame was fitted with a 43 mm fully-adjustable fork on the front end for suspension. In contrast, the rear end was handled by a preload and rebound-adjustable shock absorber with 130 mm wheel travel.

The braking power came from four-piston calipers with two 320 mm discs mounted on the front wheel and a single-piston caliper with a 245 mm disc mounted on the rear wheel, offering reliable stopping power.

As for the power figures, the Yamaha FZ1 Fazer TE boasted 147 hp with a maximum peak at 11,000 rpm and 106 NM (77 lb-ft) of torque at 8,000 rpm from a 998cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine paired with a six-speed manual transmission.
