2009 Yamaha FZ6 Overview

For 2009, Yamaha offers the FZ6 as an all-round motorcycle with 600 cc on tap. The 2009 Yamaha FZ6 is built around an In-line four engine running DOHC valve actuation, a compression ratio of 12.2:1. Internally, bore and stroke are 65.5 x 44.5 mm. In everyday use, the 2009 FZ6 tips the scales at 208.2 kg, carries a 19.30-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 795 mm and spans a 1,440 mm wheelbase. Every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes, is covered in the full 2009 Yamaha FZ6 spec sheet below.

2009 FZ6 - Pros & Cons

Strengths

  • Fuel injection: No choke, no jetting, no altitude compensation to think about - fuel injection just works across a wider range of conditions than carburetion.
  • Large fuel range: With a 19.30-litre tank, this isn't a bike you'll be stopping for fuel every hour - a real asset on longer trips.

Considerations

  • Chain final drive upkeep: A chain drivetrain is the most common setup in its class, but it's also the one that demands the most regular hands-on maintenance.

Wear Points & Servicing Notes

Fuelling & injector care

Fuelling on the FZ6 comes from fuel injection. Cold starts and throttle response stay consistent across altitude and temperature, the main practical edge over a carbureted equivalent.

Valve clearance checks

Valve clearances on DOHC-equipped engines like the FZ6's drift slowly with mileage rather than failing suddenly - sticking to the service interval keeps it a non-issue.

Brake disc and pad wear

Double disc up front provides the primary stopping power; inspect disc thickness and pad wear at each tyre change to catch scoring before it becomes a rotor replacement.

Suspension condition on used examples

Suspension duties are handled by 43mm telescopic fork, 5.1-in travel up front and Single shock at the rear. Weeping fork seals aren't a dealbreaker on a used bike, but they're a fair basis for negotiating price.

Final drive maintenance

Chain final drive on the FZ6 means routine lubing and tension checks are part of ownership - skip them and sprocket wear accelerates noticeably.

FZ6 - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

A pre-purchase check on the 2009 Yamaha FZ6 should cover the same ground every time: service history, chain and sprocket condition, and any oil seepage around the casings. Start it from cold if you can - a well-kept FZ6 settles to a smooth idle within seconds.

Oil and filter changes

Oil changes are the cheapest insurance you can buy for a FZ6's engine - keep to the manufacturer's interval rather than stretching it. Use the viscosity grade the manual specifies, not whatever's on sale.

Fuel system care

Injector systems like the FZ6's hold up well with basic care - decent fuel, an occasional cleaner additive, and draining old fuel before any layup longer than three months.

Valve clearance service

There's no reliable seat-of-the-pants way to tell if a FZ6's valve clearances are in spec - a light top-end tick is the only real warning sign, and by then some wear has already happened. Service records are the only proof.
