2015 Yamaha FZ-09, NO HIDDEN FEES! THE ULTIMATE TRIPLE THREAT. The FZ-09 combines a powerful 847 cubic centimeter, triple cylinder crossplane crank concept engine with a slim, ultra-lightweight design for incredible handling, all at an amazingly-low price. Additional Features The aluminum, tapered-type handlebars a first for a Yamaha sportbike provide a good balance of strength and light weight. The fuel tank, with its deeply recessed knee grip area, contributes to a narrow seat/tank juncture. Compact, hexagonal-type rearview mirrors match the mass forward design of the rest of the bike. A newly designed lightweight, compact, full LCD instrument panel is adopted. The tachometer has a digital bar-type display with gear position indicator. The electric starter button is a new slide-type that incorporates the engine cut-off switch is an integrated button for a modern and high quality appearance. The brake pedal, shift pedal, and footrests are made of forged aluminum for light weight and excellent appearance. The LED taillight has separate left and right lamps that illuminate when the taillight is on and across the entire lens when the brake light is on. Chassis/Suspension The wheelbase, seat height, fuel tank width, rake and other dimensions are all set to work with the qualities of the compact 3-cylinder engine to achieve a sporty, light and neutral handling character, an upright riding position and a narrow feeling chassis at the seat/tank junction. For excellent damping characteristics, the front suspension is an inverted fork with 41mm inner tubes with 5.4 inches of travel. The front suspension features adjustment for spring preload and rebound damping. The rear suspension features a linked-type Monocross® shock. The shock is positioned below the seat and features an almost horizontal alignment. This unique positioning contributes to mass centralization and a slimmer body design. The rear suspension is also adjustable for spring preload and rebound damping. These adjustments allow for different riding conditions and rider preferences. 10-spoke lightweight cast aluminum wheels are used, fitted with a 120/70ZR17 front tire and 180/55ZR17 rear tire. The tires have been designed with an optimally-tuned internal structure that contributes to good handling stability.
