YAMAHA FZ-10 (2017) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Yamaha FZ-10 was a standard motorcycle part of the FZ series that comprised motorcycles of different displacements with various shapes and sizes. The bike, also known as the Yamaha MT-10, was presented at the 2015 EICMA in Milan, Italy.

The bike was first sold in 2016 and was the flagship model of the FZ series in Yamaha's range. It was powered by a 2015 YZF-R1-derived engine with a cross-plane crankshaft design tuned to deliver low-mid torque.

Also, the bike came with several significant changes, which included newly designed intake, exhaust, and fuelling systems. Although the motorcycle featured V-Max-type air vents, those were simply for design without any functionality.

Also, in 2016, the Japanese maker made the Yamaha MT-10 SP available only for the European market, which packed some modifications, such as YZF-R1M-derived Ohlins electronic suspension, a full-color TFT LCD instrument cluster, and an exclusive livery.

In 2017, Yamaha released the FZ-10 machine with a mechanical design, a single-piece dual seat with small pillion grab rails, an up-swept exhaust system, a small dual headlight layout, and five-spoke lightweight wheels.

For power, the 2017 Yamaha FZ-10 had a 998cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, capable of delivering a power output of 160 hp with peak force at 11,500 rpm and 111 Nm (82 lb-ft) torque at 9,000 rpm.

As for braking performance, the machine was fitted with four-piston calipers and two 320 mm discs on the front and a single-piston caliper with a 220 mm disc on the rear, providing strong and reliable stopping power.
