YAMAHA FZR 400RR (1991-1995) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Yamaha FZR 400RR, also known as the FZR400 or FZR 400R, was a sports motorcycle manufactured by Yamaha in 1987 as a replacement model for the Yamaha FZ 400R and continued production until 1994. Over its lifetime, the bike was updated constantly every year.

In 1991, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha FZR 400RR, a sports machine and a new model with no parts compatible with the previous models. It had an upgraded frame, and the overall design was made to ease up track-side repairs.

Visually, the 1991 motorcycle was different from previous models, packing standard features, such as a full fairing with a rectangular headlight up front, a medium-sized windscreen, a single seat with an optional pillion cover, a single exhaust system, a side stand, and three-spoke lightweight wheels.

An aluminum Deltabox frame was the mounting point for all bits and pieces, including a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front and a preload-adjustable shock absorber on the rear, delivering excellent suspension performance and handling.

As for the stopping power, the bike relied on two 298 mm brake discs tied to dual-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 210 mm disc engaged by a two-piston caliper on the rear wheel, providing optimum braking performance.

The 1991 Yamaha FZR 400RR had its heartbeat set by a 399cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, delivering 66 hp with maximum strength at 12,500 rpm and 39 Nm (29 lb-ft) torque at 9,500 rpm.
