2008 Yamaha FZ600, The multipurpose, go-anywhere do-anything middleweight; the FZ6 is just as happy taking you to work, for a brisk sport ride or on a weekend tour. Multipurpose, go-anywhere do-anything middleweight; the FZ6 is just as happy taking you to work, for a brisk sport ride or on a weekend tour. Style and performance: Controlled-Fill aluminum frame, a high-tech half fairing and an undertail exhaust are just a few of the FZ6's upscale components. Super-light and compact fuel-injected YZF-R6S engine is tuned for enhanced mid-range performance as well as strong revvability. Engine 600cc liquid-cooled 16-valve DOHC four-cylinder engine with special cams and intake tracts is tuned to produce maximum torque and horsepower at more accessible rpm levels. Group fuel injection (powerful 32-bit processor and 4-jet bidirectional injectors) combines simplicity with excellent response and performance. Six-speed gearbox with triangulated input and output shafts, heavy-duty clutch and through-the-frame shifter for years of precise, positive shifting. Stainless-steel underseat exhaust system with heat shield looks cool and doesn't interfere with passengers or luggage. Acoustic analysis of the downdraft intake tract and exhaust produce a bike that sounds as cool as it looks. Large radiator with ring-type fan for excellent cooling capacity. Yamaha Air Induction System, along with a metal honeycomb-type catalytic converter, let the FZ6 pass strict EU2 and CARB emissions standards.
