2004 Yamaha FZS 1000 Fazer Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Positioned in Yamaha's naked motorcycle lineup, the 2004 Yamaha FZS 1000 Fazer features a 998 cc (60.9 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 141.1 HP (103 kW) at 10,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 105.9 Nm (78.1 lb-ft) at 7,500 rpm. With a specific output of 141.4 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (7,500 rpm) and peak power (10,000 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the FZS 1000 Fazer measures 208 kg (459 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.68 HP/kg (1.47 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 825 mm (32.5 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,450 mm (57.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure.
