and you have a machine that can do it all. The potent engine,
lightweight chassis and ABS brakes are perfect for the twisties. While
the comfortable riding position, new seat and 18 litre fuel tank are
ready for exploring the open road. And for those days when work gets in
the way the FJ-09 is sure to be one of the bright spots.
ENGINE
- Slim, compact, 847cc, DOHC, 12 valve (4-valves/cyl), liquid-cooled,
42.5 degree inclined, inline-three cylinder engine. The engine has been
tuned to provide plenty of low to mid-range torque with strong yet
linear throttle response.
- Downdraft style combustion chamber design features 4-valves per
cylinder and an 11.5:1 compression ratio for excellent torque output.
- Intake valves are 31mm in diameter and exhaust valves are 25mm. The
valve angle is set at 26.5 degrees (intake is 13 & exhaust is 13.5
degrees) to keep the combustion chamber compact. The stainless steel
valves feature an Isonite surface treatment and carburized tips for
improved durability and wear resistance.
- Valve adjustment intervals are every 40,000 kms.
- 120 degree crankshaft is used. This design reduces inertia torque
while emphasizing linear torque development in response to the rider's
throttle action. This design has been optimized to achieve strong torque
over a broad rpm range as well as fast, strong, linear throttle
response. This engine design allows a whole new level of "rider -
machine communication". The engine features "even- 240 degree firing
order.
- A lightweight "coupling force balancer- is used to reduce engine
vibration for excellent rider comfort.
- "Fracture split- connecting rods feature a nutless design. The lower
end "cap- of the rod is made from the same piece of material as the
upper portion; this design is known as "fracture splitting". This design
aids in establishing true big end roundness and greater precision in con
rod dimensions for excellent durability despite the higher horsepower
loads.
- Lightweight forged aluminum pistons. Lightweight design aids in fast
engine response and reduced weight. During the forging process, the
aluminum is heated to the point where it can be shaped under pressure in
a die but not to the point that it melts. By not melting the aluminum,
the material stays stronger and hence can be lighter with excellent
durability.
- Direct plated cylinders are a "liner less- design with a ceramic
coating sprayed directly on the aluminum block. This coating enhances
the thin film of oil between the cylinder and pistons which reduces
friction and increases power. Other important benefits include;
excellent heat dissipation for consistent power delivery and reduced
weight since there are no heavy liners.
- The cylinder is "offset- (5 mm to the exhaust side) relative to the
crankshaft to reduce frictional losses between the pistons and the
cylinder wall during the power stroke.
- One-piece cylinder and upper crankcase assembly provides superior
engine rigidity and reduces weight. The engine is a stressed member, so
it also increases chassis rigidity as well.
- Lightweight, hollow intake and exhaust camshafts are designed to
provide strong low and midrange power and torque, in the most commonly
used speed ranges.
- Mechanical "half nut- cam chain tensioner reduces mechanical engine
noise and maintenance. This special design is a world's first for Yamaha
and better controls the flexing of the tensioner spring. The benefits
include fewer parts and a lighter, more compact design.
- Mikuni, 41mm, throttle body fuel injection system utilizes a throttle
position sensor (TPS) and an acceleration position sensor (APS).
Yamaha's chip controlled throttle (YCC-T) and D-Modes systems are also
used. The injectors feature 12 holes and 20 degree spray pattern. The
injectors are located such that the fuel is sprayed directly at the
intake valve.
- This is a closed loop fuel injection system, with an oxygen sensor
that monitors the amount of oxygen in the spent exhaust gases and
adjusts the fuel -air mixture via the ECU and FI system for maximum
performance with minimum emissions. The benefits of fuel injection
include choke-free starting, steady idling during warm up, excellent
fuel economy, and reduced emissions. The system has been "tuned- to
provide excellent "ride ability- with "linear- throttle control.
- Yamaha Chip Control Throttle (YCC-T) system electronically controls
the throttle valves for outstanding response and improved
controllability at all rpms. The YCC-T is used to provide optimum
control of the intake air volume for a smoother torque character. The
YCC-T is capable of responding to changes at a speed of 1000th of a
second.
- Yamaha D-Mode variable throttle control enables the rider to adjust
the performance characteristics of the engine based on riding
preferences or road conditions. Standard mode emphasizes the very linear
throttle and torque feel of the engine. The A mode allows the rider to
enjoy even sportier engine performance in the low to mid rpms. While the
B Mode reduces throttle response for riding situations that require
softer power characteristics, such as slippery conditions. The D-Mode
button is located on the RHS handle bar switch gear.
- New traction control system works
in conjunction with the YCC-T system. Utilizing front and rear wheel
sensors, this system senses when the rear wheel begins to spin and
modifies the YCC-T function, ignition timing and fuel injection to
reduce power and eliminate wheel spin. The actuation button is on the
multifunction instrument panel as is the status indicator / warning
light. The traction control system helps maintain traction when
accelerating on slippery surfaces. The system automatically is engaged
when the ignition is turned on but can be turned off if desired.
- Compact Electronic Control Unit (ECU) utilizes a powerful 32-bit
processor for fast control of the injection, engine management and
ignition processes. The compact design reduces weight.
- Revised air box features dual resonator chambers and unequal internal
intake funnel lengths for all 3 cylinders. The left cylinder funnel is
102.8mm, the centre is 82.8mm and the right cylinder is 122.8mm. The
benefit is a wide torque curve and an exciting intake sound that
accentuates the exhaust note. A viscous paper type air filter is
utilized.
- Compact 6-speed transmission "stacks- input/output shafts to
centralize mass and to keep the overall engine size shorter front to
back. As a result, this allows the engineers the freedom to place the
engine in the frame for optimum front to rear weight balance. The
transmission primary reduction ratio is 1.681 and gear ratios are
optimized to accentuate the torque and throttle response of the engine.
- Compact, wet-type heavy duty, multi-plate clutch ensures consistent,
positive engagement.
- Revised, low mounted, 3 into 1 exhaust system features stainless steel
header pipes with special "Nano-film- coating to help prevent rusting
and discolouration. Revision is based on the fitment of the new centre
stand. The muffler is a triple expansion type with a 3-way honeycomb
catalyzer to reduce harmful CO and HC exhaust emissions. The low mounted
design centralizes mass for excellent handling and a lightweight
feeling.
- Lightweight flat design radiator for maximum cooling efficiency. There
is a protector plate on the lower edge of the rad to prevent small
stones from being kicked up into the fan.
- Lightweight, aluminum liquid-cooled oil cooler maintains stable
lubricant temperatures for extended engine life.
- Convenient spin-on type oil filter.
- Convenient oil level sight glass means easy oil level inspection.
- Maintenance-free transistor-controlled digital ignition (TCI) ensures
fast starts and great performance at all rpms.
- Air Induction System (AIS...not ram air) injects fresh air into the
exhaust port to reduce harmful HC and CO emissions for a cleaner
environment.
CHASSIS / SUSPENSION
- CF (Controlled Filling) die cast, twin spar, diamond-type, aluminum
frame provides an optimized rigidity balance for incredible handling
performance combined with great stability. The engine is a stressed
member of the chassis, allowing a lighter, more compact main frame
design without sacrificing rigidity or agile handling qualities.
- The riding position is one of the most important features of the FJ-09
chassis, offering a balance between sporty handling and excellent rider
comfort thanks to its upright seating position.
- Key chassis geometry figures include: 1440mm (56.7") wheelbase, 24
degrees of rake and 100 mm of trail. The front to rear weight
distribution is 51 - 49% and the lean angle is 51 degrees, highlighting
the sporty nature of the FJ-09. The chassis dimensions and shape have
been designed to enhance the qualities of the 3 cylinder engine and to
centralize mass and lower the centre of gravity to provide the rider
with "the pleasure of controlling the bike at will-
- Revised, detachable, round tube steel rear sub frame has been designed
to withstand the extra load and forces applied during light adventure
touring. It is one of the mounting points for the accessory hard
saddlebags. It also allows easy access to rear suspension components and
reduces costs in the event of accidental damage. The sub frame features
corrosion resistant electrostatic paint process.
- Lightweight, externally mounted, C.F. (Controlled Filling) die cast
aluminum, truss-type rear swingarm offers great rear wheel control and
traction for razor-sharp cornering and superb stability at speed.
- Adjustable 41 inverted cartridge e style fork offers 137mm (5.4") of
wheel travel. The fork can be adjusted for spring pre-load and rebound
damping. The benefits of the inverted design include: reduced "unsprung-
weight and reduced fork flex since the larger diameter tubes are gripped
in the triple clamps. The adjustable design allows the rider to tailor
suspension settings to match rider weight, road conditions and riding
style to maximize handling and suspension performance.
- Lightweight, cast aluminum upper and forged aluminum lower triple
clamps.
- Adjustable link-type Monocross rear suspension. The rear shock can be
adjusted for spring pre-load and rebound damping. The adjustable design
allows the rider to tailor suspension settings to match weight, riding
style and road conditions. Shock is almost horizontally mounted to
centralize mass and reduce the centre of gravity for light, agile
handling. Rear wheel travel is 130mm or 5.1-
- ABS equipped dual 298mm floating front discs are squeezed by
ultra-rigid, 4-piston monoblock calipers. The master cylinder features a
16mm piston for outstanding stopping power with less lever effort.
Braking performance is excellent and offers good "feedback- to the
rider.
- ABS equipped 245mm rear disc is squeezed by a lightweight single
piston slide-type Nissin caliper with sintered metal brake pads.
- The Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) features Yamaha's latest generation
independent linear controlled system with step-less, infinitely variable
hydraulic pressure adjustment. This system uses the same wheel sensors
as the traction control system, further reducing weight. When the ABS
system senses impending wheel lock-up, the system regulates the
hydraulic pressure to the point just before the wheel or wheels lock-up.
The benefit of ABS is excellent control under hard braking or when
braking on wet, slippery or loose surfaces.
- Unified Brake System is combined with the ABS system. When the front
brake is activated, an electronic control applies some rear wheel
braking force as well. The amount of rear braking force is dependent
upon how hard the front brake has been applied, unit speed and the
amount of load on the unit. If the rear brake is applied prior to the
front brake, it cancels the unified braking system temporarily (until
the brakes have been released).
- Lightweight, cast-aluminum 10-spoke wheels reduce unsprung weight for
great handling characteristics. The front wheel is an MT3.50-17 and is
fitted with a 120/70-ZR17 radial tire. The rear wheel is a MT5.50-17
fitted with a 180/55-ZR17 radial tire.
- New adjustable, tapered aluminum handlebar combines with the upright
positioning for excellent all day riding comfort. The handlebar can be
adjusted 10mm by simply turning the eccentric handlebar holders. The
handlebar holders feature special threads for additional accessory
installations.
- New hand covers (aka brush guards) offer good wind protection, add a
styling highlight and offer some unit protection in the event the bike
tips over.
- New, 18 litre fuel tank offers an extended riding range with great
knee grip. It is made of steel, for ease of use with magnetic style tank
bags. The reserve portion of the tank is 2.8 litres (when the low fuel
light illuminates). The riding range should exceed 300 kms per tank.
- New, separate rider and passenger seats are designed for longer
distance riding. Both seats are longer than those on the FZ-09. The
passenger seat is also significantly wider for improved passenger
comfort. The rider seat offers 2- positions of height adjustability 845
mm in the low position and 860 mm in the high position. No tools are
required to adjust the seat.
- Passenger grab rails for extra peace of mind
- All new, multi-function meter assembly. Left side features digital
tach and speedo, plus fuel gauge, clock and status indicators for
traction control, D-modes, and Eco System. The right side utilizes a DOT
Matrix LCD display, which includes odometer, dual trip meters, outside
air temp, coolant temp, instant & average fuel consumption, estimated
travel range (based on remaining fuel), time trip and low fuel trip
meter. Other functions include grip heater status (grip heaters are
optional) and gear position indicator. All functions are controlled by
buttons on the L.H.S. switch gear. There are also a full range of
warning and indicator lights as well. The ECO indicator is a light that
indicates the bike is being ridden in a manner that conserves fuel.
Background illumination is adjustable.
