2009 Yamaha FZ6 S2 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Yamaha's naked motorcycle platform, the 2009 Yamaha FZ6 S2 pairs a 600 cc (36.6 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 96.6 HP (70.5 kW) while maximum torque reaches 63.1 Nm (46.5 lb-ft) at 6,400 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 161 HP per liter, the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.

On the scales, the FZ6 S2 measures 201 kg (443 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.48 HP/kg (2.08 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 795 mm (31.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,440 mm (56.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 19.4-liter (5.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
