The demand for naked middleweights and in response to this growing market sector, Yamaha launches FZ6 for 2004
Engine character with priority on middle range and no sacrifice in high revving capability
Engine developed directly from the YZF-R6
Fuel injection
Maximum power output 72kW (98PS) to improve character in the low- and mid-speed range
Cornering character, which enables an effortless riding on winding country lanes
Super-lightweight, high rigidity aluminium die-cast frame using Yamaha's unique CF Die Casting Technology
Increased rear wheel drive force by improving the torque character and optimized transmission gear ratios
A front wheel weight distribution ratio of 51% by revising the machine dimensions and moving the battery farther forward
Optimized suspensions (43mm diameter high rigidity inner tubes for the front fork, lightweight Monocross rear suspension)
New tire sizes. (Change front 110/70 ZR17 M/C to 120/70 ZR17 M/C, and rear 160/60 ZR17 M/C to 180/55 ZR17 M/C.)
Light and nimble handling (even in traffic jams and around-town riding)
Handlebar turning angle of 35 degrees (minimum turning radius of 2.8m)
Greater freedom of riding position by moving the hip point 8mm father forward
Impressive looks: the upswept mufflers produce a great sound too
New styling and function in line with concept
Aluminium frame with excellent exterior appearance using Yamaha's unique CF Die Casting Technology
"Up-swept muffler" exhaust pipe layout metallic-look coloured exterior body parts
New windscreen design
Immobilizer system to prevent theft
Environment & maintenance friendliness
Fuel injection to achieve ideal air/fuel settings for excellent fuel economy and optimized performance of the engine at all altitudes
New Yamaha Air Induction System
Metal honeycomb catalytic converter
Low oil consumption with adoption of direct-plated cylinders
