Chassis / Suspension

• Aggressive chassis geometry with Supersport inspired 51 percent front wheel weight bias. Provides quick and nimble handling.
• Short 4.8-gallon fuel tanks allows the rider to move into a forward position. Rider forward ergonomics move the rider into a position of great control.
• Cast aluminum frame uses the engine as a stressed member. Allows for optimal rigidity, light weight and superb handling.
• Stressed-engine design holds the engine in place with six mounts, for excellent vertical stiffness and handling.
• Controlled-Fill (CF) aluminum swingarm. Lightweight and tuned for excellent handling and tire grip; looks great, too.
• Fully adjustable 43 mm inverted fork and a single shock with adjustable preload and rebound damping. Tunable for sport touring or track days.
• 320 mm front discs squeezed by monoblock four-piston calipers up front and a single 245 mm rear disc serve up strong and consistent stopping power.
• Removable subframe for easy maintenance and detachable passenger footpegs for even more stripped-down style.
• Light, five-spoke wheels and fat radial tires, including a 190/50-ZR17 rear, complete the look and serve up the traction.

Key Features

• Adjustable suspension lets the FZ1 be dialed in for a wide range of uses—everything from urban assault to sport touring.

New for 2011

• The ECU mapping has been revised to achieve improved throttle response in the low speed range.
• Engine
• Compact design, 998 cc DOHC 20-valve engine is tuned for tremendous mid-range punch and massive top-end power.
• Fuel injection with computer-controlled sub-throttle valves provides precise fuel / air mixture for superb power delivery across the entire rev range.
• Closed-deck cylinder block provides great strength while allowing a narrow engine in spite of big, 77 mm bores.
• Narrow-angle five-valve combustion chambers produce a highly efficient 11.5:1 compression ratio.
• Carburized connecting rods with fracture split big ends produce a quick-revving engine with excellent high-rpm durability.
• High silicon-content ceramic-composite cylinder lining reduces friction and maximizes heat dissipation for consistent power delivery.
• Four-into two-into one short-style exhaust system with Exhaust Ultimate Power valve (EXUP®), a stainless catalizer and 02 sensor. Delivers outstanding power throughout the FZ1’s broad rpm range while meeting all emissions regulations.
• Race-inspired curved radiator with twin ring-style fans keeps everything cool under all conditions.
