2009 Yamaha FZ 1, 2009 Yamaha FZ1, cobalt blue, clean bike, must see!! Key Features: - Our ultimate street brawler brings 998cc of fuel-injected previous generation R1 power to the fray, in a light-and-strong aluminum frame. - Sculpted fuel tank and one-piece handlebar move the rider forward for aggressive naked-bike excitement. - Adjustable suspension lets the FZ1 be dialed in for a wide range of uses, everything from urban assault to sport touring. 2009 Yamaha FZ1 Features: Engine: Ultra-lightweight 998cc, DOHC, 20-valve, liquid-cooled, 40 degree inclined, in-line four-cylinder engine. The engine has been tuned to provide outstanding performance and excellent passing performance. The crankcases, pistons, cylinder and cylinder head are based on the 3rd generation R1 powerplant ('04 to '06). Combustion chamber design and squish area has been optimized for maximum sports performance. The compression ratio for the FZ1 is 11.5:1. Redline is set at 12,000 rpm and features a "soft" rev limiter to protect the engine. Special lightweight, high lift, high performance intake and exhaust cams help to provide incredible horsepower and fast engine response. Cam profiles and the cam timing are designed to provide for more low to midrange power (Vs R1) . Automatic cam chain tensioner reduces both maintenance and engine mechanical noise. Lightweight, 3rd generation R1 based crankshaft provides quick engine response. Connecting rods are carburized and use a nutless design. The lower end "cap" of the rod is made from the same piece of material as the upper portion, this design is known as "fracture splitting". This design aids establishing true big end roundness and greater precision in con rod dimensions. Closed deck cylinder design allows the cylinders to be spaced more closely together, allowing a narrower engine. The cylinder block is a stand-alone part. The benefit if this design is improved sealing, and easier serviceability. Ceramic composite cylinder "bores" are a "liner less" design with the ceramic coating sprayed directly on the aluminum block to ensure great heat dissipation for consistent power delivery, reduced friction and reduced weight. Short skirt, lightweight forged piston design features special ribs in the piston pin area for great rigidity. 3rd generation R1 inspired "stacked" 3-axis gearbox / clutch design stacks input/output shafts to create a low center of gravity and keeps overall engine size shorter front to back. As a result, the stacked design gives the engineers the freedom to place the engine in the frame for optimum front to rear weight balance and thereby maximizing handling Smooth shifting 6-speed transmission features optimized gear ratios for maximum performance in the "real world". 5th and 6th ratios are wider for reduced engine rpms at highway speeds for more relaxed cruising.
