== Overview ==
Yamaha FZ8 Fazer






















The Yamaha FZ8-series Yamaha is proud to announce
two new motorcycles that open up a whole new class within the popular FZ
sportsbike range  the FZ8 and the Fazer8. The FZ8-series is based on the idea
of a high-performance all- rounder with the power and character to make every
ride an exhilarating sports ride. Following in the footsteps of the hugely
successful FZ6-series  which, since 1998, has sold over 250.000 units  both
bikes offer serious sports bike looks, outstanding handling and a flexible,
powerful, torquey engine that encourages riders to explore its full potential.
Its an accessible kind of adrenaline: a shot of sportsbike energy, designed to
be enjoyed every day. These dynamic new sports machines are built on a new 779cc
engine and all-aluminum frame.
The engine offers a balance of middleweight
accessibility with big-bore power and instant grunt throughout the rev range. It
steers fast and effortlessly, and handles with surefooted confidence - whether
its cranked right over on a tight, smooth corner or slicing its way through
traffic on a congested commute. The naked FZ8 is a machine with attitude.
Muscular, aggressive design gives onlookers a hint of this bikes serious
intentions. Not a bike for beginners, the FZ8 is a pure expression of
performance and quality craftsmanship. With the semi-faired Fazer8, the emphasis
is placed firmly on getting out there and enjoying the roads, whatever the
weather. Discover sportsbike performance and handling, with the aerodynamics,
wind and weather protection of a front cowl and screen. Its a solid step up in
performance and quality.

779cc, liquid cooled, inline 4-cylinder engine In
order to arrive at the perfect power and torque spread for a mix of high
performance and all-round usability, Yamaha threw out all preconceptions about
engine size. The 1000cc and 600cc categories that largely divide the market are
imposed by racing regulations, not road riding considerations. Many riders find
600cc supersport engines to be hard work on the open road  and 1000cc superbike
engines to be overkill. Yamahas engineers selected a 779cc engine displacement
to provide the perfect balance between the accessible performance of a 600 and
the broad, instant torque and power of a litrebike.



The new FZ8-series engine is fuel injected, and
uses both a throttle valve and an electronically controlled sub- throttle valve
to provide additional control over intake airflow volume. The cylinder bodies
have a bore and stroke from 68.0x53.6mm. Readings on engine rpm and throttle
opening are processed in real time by the ECU, which operates a new stepping
motor to control the sub-throttle valves and optimise volumetric efficiency in
each part of the rev range. This is one of the many design considerations aimed
at boosting low-middle drive. Another key to the FZ8-series motors flexibility
is found in the large-capacity 7.8 litre airbox, where the air intake funnels
are two different lengths  cylinders 1 and 4 have 125mm intake funnels, where 2
and 3 are 150mm in length, producing an excellent spread of torque throughout
the rev range.
The FZ8-series engine produces 106.2PS (78.1kW)
at 10,000rpm, and a generous 82.0Nm of torque at 8,000rpm  with a character
that feels light, torquey and responsive down low but builds to a signature
Yamaha top-end power rush. It easily clears EU3 exhaust emission standards,
using a short, side mounted muffler and a 4-into-2-into-1 exhaust system with a
honeycomb type catalytic converter fitted at the point where the header pipes
meet. An oxygen sensor feeds real-time exhaust information back to the ECU,
allowing the bike to constantly adjust its air/fuel mixture for optimum
efficiency and clean emissions.
Yamaha Motor Europe N.V. Press Release Chassis
and running gear The FZ8-series features a new engine that is a stressed member
in an all- aluminum frame. The designs high rigidity and low weight minimises
frame torsion while providing outstanding high-speed stability and cornering
confidence. The FZ8-series also uses a CF aluminum die-cast swingarm, enhancing
the effectiveness of the rear suspension. Front-end suspension is a pair of
upside-down forks, running 43mm inner tubes. Rear suspension is handled by a
linked Monocross unit  the link being designed to provide soft, light
suspension near the top of the stroke to deal with bumpy surfaces in comfort,
but then to provide firmer cushioning as the shock is further compressed, for
sharper handling during hard cornering. Front brakes are twin four-piston
monoblock calipers, gripping 310mm floating front discs. Being monoblock
designs, the calipers suffer minimal distortion under hard braking, so the
stopping force is linear, stable and controllable when the chips are down. Both
the naked FZ8 and semi-faired Fazer8 models are available with optional ABS.

The wheels are five-spoke cast aluminum rims 
the front tire is a 120/70 ZR17, and the rear is a 180/55 ZR17. This gives both
bikes outstanding ride feeling, grip and cornering performance, with access to
the full range of sports rubber. The riding position is sporty but comfortable,
with a seat height of 815mm and a narrow tank which gives the rider a good
ground access. Overall ride experience is compact and light, with generous room
for manoeuvring. Steering is quick and responsive, with an extended 33-degree
left-to-right steering angle - making tight U-turns and peak-hour traffic
busting much easier. Muscular, mass-forward design The FZ8-series consists of
two models  the naked FZ8 and the semi-faired Fazer8 with a front cowl and
screen. A short muffler, narrow tank and new 3-part tank cover instantly
distinguish these bikes from their peers. Visually, the FZ8 series evokes a pure
release of energy in forward motion. The black side parts on the tank provide
comfortable knee grip, and give the subtle impression that the coloured tank is
breaking away and accelerating forward. The headlight unit on the naked FZ8 adds
an aggressive-looking detail. In all, the visual impression is of a bike that
looks fast even when its standing still  and that sensually curved diamond
frame and muscular 4-cylinder engine are still the stars of the show.
