Yamaha FZ-S Fi Version 3.0

Yamaha FZ-S Fi Version 3.0 Highlights

While the BS4 Yamaha FZ-FI and FZS-FI will soon be discontinued, the bikemaker is offering discounts for its remaining stock. Check out the offers available on the BS4 FZ range here.

The third-generation Yamaha FZ-FI and FZS-FI come with cleaner BS6-compliant motors and new colour options: Darknight and Metallic Red. The motorcycle continues to get muscular bodywork and now has a new LED headlamp similar to the FZ-25. The 'S' variant gets chrome intake vents on the fuel tank and an engine cowl. Yamaha has switched back to a single seat setup with the third generation FZ-FI. The keyfob position has been move to the fuel tank instead of the handlebar and the revised digital instrument console is more comprehensive now. 

In terms of ergonomics, the handlebar now sits 22mm taller and leans in towards the rider for better reach. So now you have a more upright seating position. The subframe is flatter as well to accommodate the one-piece seat. Even the rear grab rail is a single piece unit now. 

Its updated BS6 149cc fuel-injected motor now makes 12.4PS at 7250rpm and 13.6Nm at 5500rpm. COmpared to the BS4 version, power has dropped by 0.8PS while torque has improved by 0.8Nm. Both peak power and torque now come at a lower rpm than before. The new engine update should make the new FZS-FI friendlier in the city.

Competition for the FZ-S Fi V3.0 comes in the form of the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and the Suzuki Gixxer.
