2016 YAMAHA FZ-09 Review

Design - large-diameter fork tubes, exposed engine wasp-like waist and tapers to leave anything in the sub-frame bicycle looks like a cheese wedge - "All the front," which is to say, when the tank is designed with sporty Exterior side bump typical hot-headed, they seem a little high, and not really in a position to be able to hook it under the knee, but hanging in the buttocks in a sharp turn.


Still, it is there to see, it says, to design the cornering performance configuration. Since there is no body panels to cover all the excuse it, disused factory hidden under a large stretch of the radiator. Instead, they have it, and make it look part.

Chassis - Yamaha in the right direction and things start aluminum frame, leaving features such as ABS and traction control systems on the shelf, in order to prevent the frame structure to obtain a loss of revenue. Steering head angle and 17-inch front wheels generate 4.1 inches clues decisive turn 25 degrees and clear reversal. Of course, you will when you hit the highway a long, straight stretch pay for that, but it is a sports car after all.

Inverted front fork is quite sturdy 41 mm, two forks, rear monoshock is equipped with a preload and rebound damping adjustment, so you can dial in your journey. Front brake discs fell just a little on the small side at 298 mm, but there are two people, they have four pots, opposed-piston calipers bind them - a lot of bikes, weight only 414 pounds soaking wet. No ABS or brake system link, but I personally think count as a bonus, rather than damage.

Transmission - Yamaha Crossplane concept CP3 engine as the heart beat of FZ-09. This is a 847 ml, liquid cooling, which cranks out 64.3 pounds - feet of line three 8500 rpm; in part staggered maturity, downdraft intake port POWERBAND intended to open up a little, it began to come early in the rev range Isometric than intake system. As one would expect, the engine ignition sequence to follow symmetrical, which makes it smooth power pulse transmission, and balancers counteract the swinging couples, further rationalize the engine.

Although the factory to save weight everywhere it can sense and control is clearly too important to miss. Yamaha Chip Control Throttle (YCC-T) is totally riding the line (RBW) system reads the current engine speed and throttle opening to reconcile changes in demand for engine throttle grip position. Yamaha drive mode (D mode) feature that allows riders to quickly and easily change the power transmission and throttle response to switch between three separate premapped settings so you can configure according to performance needs to be changed.

For me, the most interesting part of the engine is connected to the rod. (I know, this is a fairly trivial part, but bear with me.) The plant uses "fracture splitting" approach to outsole actual cracked open, and then bolt throw around its two and a half to produce the perfect crankshaft mating joint. I want to know how many engineers working to improve the link destroy this approach, but I digress.

It comes with a six-speed transmixer for full use of the expanded torque curve while maintaining a reasonable speed cruising speed. When designing a narrow three sausages engine, gearbox helps keep the drivetrain rear trim and adapt to the future running gear.

Yamaha FZ-09 mobile price is $ 8,190, and provide its crow (black) or affect blue. It comes with a one-year limited warranty.
