2014 Yamaha FZ-09
The Darkside of Japan
The new 2014 FZ-09 boasts a game changing 850cc triple engine with cross-plane crank that pumps out exhilarating power and a throaty exhaust note.
The all new 2014 Yamaha FZ09. "Naked" sportbike features a revolutionary 850cc, triple cylinder engine with a cross-plane crank which provides awesome engine torque and feel along with a unique pulse and sound. Its slim design provides an overall light in weight and a nimble ride unlike any other.
Introducing the all-new 2014 FZ-09, a sports model powered by an all-new liquid-cooled, 850 cc in-line 3-cylinder, fuel-injected engine. The FZ-09 has been developed around the concept of a Synchronized Performance, that allows a rider to enjoy the feeling of complete control in typical everyday riding situations. In other words, the FZ-09 has been designed to respond to your every command.
2014 Yamaha FZ-09 Total Motorcycle Key Features

1. Introducing an all-new 847cc liquid-cooled, in-line 3-cylinder, DOHC, 12-valve engine with fuel injection. This engine combines advanced high tech components including YCC-T and Yamaha D-Mode, with a crossplane concept crankshaft to deliver an exciting, torquey and quick-revving engine character.
2. This 3-cylinder engine features Yamahas Crossplane Crankshaft Concept that provides linear torque development in response to the riders throttle input. Among the advantages of the in-line 3-cylinder engine are: (1) linear torque development, (2) even firing intervals that provide smooth torque characteristics and a good feeling of power in the low to mid rpm range, (3) a light, slim and
compact design, and (4) performance that combines the characteristics of both 2-cylinder and 4-cylinder engines.
3. To reduce vibration and deliver a smoother ride, the engine has a primary coupled-force balancer that revolves in the
opposite direction and at the same speed as the crankshaft.
4. A new 6-speed transmission has also been adopted to match the new engine. The transmission has optimized gear ratios that help to deliver engine torque efficiently. The result is a transmission that helps bring out more of the low- to mid-speed torque and excellent response characteristics.
5. The ride-by-wire Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) system senses the slightest throttle input by the rider, relays the data to the ECU, which instantaneously calculates the ideal throttle valve opening based on engine rpm and throttle opening, and then sends commands to a servo-motor actuator that moves the throttle valve which actively controls the intake airflow volume. This is a
technology contributing to the riders feeling of torque and controllability from the new 3-cylinder engine.
