Yamaha FZ-16 breathes through a BS26 carburetor and is neither fuel injected nor oil cooled; but working under negative pressure.

The 12-liter stainless steel tank has a plastic cover to give it that a molded look and reflects the perfect dynamic and muscular image of the bike.

It has a large disc brake on the front which helps with great braking power and high-end balance.

The Mono-cross suspension at the rear, inner tubes in the front and 41mm hydraulic forks provide excellent shock absorption typical of Yamaha craftsmanship and gives  riding pleasure during those long rides for the rider and the pillion. Not to mention adding stability to the bike as well.
