Overview
The Yamaha FZ 16S is a naked motorcycle from the FZ family, produced for 2011. Its air-cooled, four-stroke single-cylinder engine displaces 153 cm³ and makes 14 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm; the motorcycle weighs 137 kg.
The 790 mm seat height gives riders a useful reference for judging reach at stops, while the 137 kg weight can make low-speed maneuvering easier. The 12.9-liter fuel tank sets the amount carried between fuel stops, and chain final drive needs periodic cleaning and adjustment.
