Yamaha FZ1 FZ-1 Information FZ-1 Features & Benefits FZ-1 Specification FZ1 Accessories FZ-1 OEM parts Everyday Comfort Coupled with Razor Sharp Handling and Open Class Power Motorcyclist Magazine's "Best Naked Bike" Derived from the legendary R1, the FZ1 packs a huge amount of horsepower and torque into a chassis that handles like a superbike yet is comfortable enough to ride all day long. For the rider who likes sportbike performance but prefers more comfortable ergonomics. The FZ1 offers a more traditional upright seating position, yet sacrifices nothing in terms of engine and handling performance. The FZ1 is fitted with an engine based on the R1. With a different cylinder head than the R1, the compact 998cc liquid-cooled powerplant is fed by four side-draft 37mm carbs. The crankshaft, 10% heavier than the R1, has greater inertial mass, providing better around-town ridability. Handling the exhaust chores is a 4-into-1 system controlled by Yamaha's Exhaust Ultimate Powervalve (EXUP) that precisely matches the exhaust backpressure with engine RPM to create maximum power. A perimeter-style steel tube frame mated to a box section aluminum swingarm adds up to incredible rigidity and confidence inspiring handling. Front and rear suspension is fully adjustable for preload, compression and rebound dampening to help fine tune the ride. Cycle World, May 2002 stated... "While it's impossible to please all of the people all of the time, the FZ1 manages to come remarkably close." Just like the R1, the FZ1 has set the standard for sporting street motorcycles. Providing uncompromised performance in a comfortable, all-around package.
