YAMAHA FZ-16S (2010-2011) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2008, Yamaha launched the FZ 16, a standard motorcycle also known as the Yamaha Byson in the Indonesian market, modeled after the FZ1 machine. The FZ16 was sold in India and other markets, such as Indonesia, China, Columbia, and Argentina.

In 2015, the Japanese maker released the FZ FI, a fuel-injected version of the standard model, with a reduced displacement from 153cc to 149cc. This reduction resulted in less torque and power than the carbureted version. Instead, it had better fuel efficiency.

In 2015 when the Byson FI went on sale in the Indonesian market, according to the maker, the bike featured 91 different components compared to the version sold in the Indian market.

In 2011, Yamaha launched the FZ 16S, a standard lightweight motorcycle that came equipped with a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, a single headlight with a small windscreen, and five-spoke cast aluminum wheels.

The 2011 FZ 16S was a more styled version of the standard FZ 16 model, featuring new colors and graphics, an aerodynamic windscreen, a carbon pattern meter console, and a more aggressive-looking headlight.

In the power department, the bike came in the same package as the standard model, still powered by a 153cc four-stroke four-cylinder air-cooled engine fed by two CV carburetors, boasting 14 hp with maximum peak at 7,500 rpm and 14 Nm (10 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
