YAMAHA FZ-6R (2009-2010) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2010, the FZ-6 line of motorcycles was replaced by the Diversion line in the form of the XJ6 N, XJ6 Diversion, and XJ6 Diversion F. The XJ6 Diversion F was the equivalent of the FZ-6R, a fully-faired motorcycle without an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) and electronic immobilizer.

The 2010 Yamaha FZ-6R was fitted with standard elements, such as a full fairing, a single headlight with ram-air vent on each side, a small windscreen, a blacked-out engine and frame, an invisible exhaust system, and five-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.

The bike was manufactured on a diamond-shaped aluminum frame with a 43 mm telescopic fork handling the front suspension and a single shock absorber with an aluminum swingarm operating the rear suspension.

The 2010 Yamaha FZ-6R rolled on five-spoke aluminum wheels with four-piston calipers, two 298 mm discs handling the front stopping power, and a single-piston caliper with 245 mm discs taking care of the rear-end braking performance.

In the performance department, the bike took its nerves from a 599cc four-stroke liquid-cooled four-cylinder engine fed by an electronic fuel injection system, delivering 77 hp with maximum peak at 11,500 rpm and 52 Nm (44 lb-ft) torque at 8,500 rpm.

The engine was a detuned version of the powerplant used on the Fazer and was fitted with a six-speed manual transmission that took the engine power and delivered it to the rear wheel through a final chain drive.
