YAMAHA FZ1 N (2006-2012) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Yamaha FZ1 was a naked machine produced by the Japanese maker over two generations, from 2001 to 2005 and 2006 to 2015. The bike was known as the FZ1 in the American market and FZS1000 Fazer in the European market.

In 2006, Yamaha launched the FZ1, a semi-naked machine joined by a fully naked motorcycle with the FZ1-N designation. Compared to the semi-naked motorcycle, the FZ1-N came without a front cowl, a single headlight design, and without a windscreen.

From 2006 to 2012, the FZ1-N motorcycle featured several modifications in the technical and performance departments, such as a revised rear suspension, an updated fuel injection, and a revised Electronic Control Unit (ECU) mapping.

In the suspension department, the FZ1-N packed the same suspension as the faired version, with a 43 mm adjustable MotoGP-style Kayaba telescopic fork and 130 mm wheel travel on the front. The rear suspension was operated by an adjustable Kayaba shock absorber with 130 mm wheel travel.

The stopping power was achieved by four-piston Sumitomo calipers with two 320 mm floating discs on the front and a single Nissin one-piston caliper with a 245 mm disc on the rear, offering robust and reliable braking performance.

As for power, the Yamaha FZ1-N was fitted with a 998cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine and an electronic fuel injection system, delivering a power output of 150 hp at 11,000 rpm and 89 Nm (66 lb-ft) torque at 8,000 rpm.
