Specifications, Features and Details

2015 Yamaha FZ-07 is powered by a 689cc parallel twin liquid cooled engine. The engine is built on a brand new platform. It is compact and serves as a stressed member in the diamond-type, backbone high-tensile steel frame to reduce weight. It produces a claimed 75 crankshaft HP at 9000 rpm, while torque peaks at 50ft-lb at 6500rpm. The bike comes with a new asymmetrical steel swing-arm which not only aids handling but also improves the aesthetic appeal of the motorcycle. The engine uses the same 270-degree crossplane crankshaft design found in Yamaha’s four cylinder R1 and M1 models. The concept is, by rotating the position of adjacent crank by 90 degrees, inertial torque is virtually eliminated allowing combustion torque to closely mimic composite torque and allow linear power delivery.
