Tip:
•Air filter
•This model’s air filter is equipped with a disposable oil-coated paper element, which must not be cleaned with compressed air to avoid damaging it.
•The air filter element needs to be replaced more frequently when riding in unusually wet or dusty areas
•Hydraulic brake service
• After disassembling the brake master cylinders and calipers, always change the fluid. Regularly check the brake fluid level and fill the reservoirs as required.
• Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinder and calipers, and change the brake fluid.
• Replace the brake hoses every four years, or if cracked or damaged.
About the 2017 Yamaha FZ-09
Yamaha powers the FZ-09 with its 847 cc, Crossplane Crankshaft Concept CP3 engine. In response to critics of the too-abrupt throttle changes of the previous gen, Yamaha repurposed the FJ-09 fuel map for use with the FZ’s ride-by-wire throttle control.
The result is a much tamer, less abrupt response that retains but a fraction of its former snappiness, much to the benefit of the handling since the previous setup was widely regarded as being far too sensitive to even minor changes in throttle-grip position.
Yammy’s proprietary D-mode allows the rider to further tune power deliver according to riding style and conditions, so you should be able to mix and match D-mode and traction control settings to suit whatever kind of rider you identify as on any given day.
