| 2012 Yamaha Fazer 8 |
What do you want from a sport bike? Tremendous speed? Or the elegant body design? If you want two things, you can try a 2012 Yamaha Fazer 8. 2012 Yamaha Fazer 8 give what is desired by every sportbike rider. A great speed, elegant body design as well as a steady handling in your hands.
Yamaha is proud to have two new bikes, bike to a new class in the FZ area grassroots announce open – the FZ8 and Fazer8. The FZ8-series based on the idea of high-rounder with the power and character to make every trip a thrilling driving sport is based.2011 Yamaha Fazer 8 has a capacity of 779cc engine with a ratio of 68.0 x 53.6mm bore x stroke. Engine type Liquid-cooled, DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder. The engine has been optimized to provide many low for a few mid-range response with the linear accelerator, but solid. Redline is set to 11 500 revolutions per minute and has a “soft” rev limiter to protect the engine. They can be removed with a maximum strength.
Mikuni "sub throttle valve" fuel injection system is based on the FZ1 design, featuring 35mm throttle bodies fitted with T.P.S. (Throttle Position Sensor). This style of fuel injection uses sub throttle valves in addition to the main valves to further control the intake airflow. The sub valves optimize the intake volumetric efficiency at all rpms and are powered by a stepping motor that is controlled by the ECU. The key benefit is excellent "ride ability" and throttle response.
The injectors are sequential high dynamic range type featuring 4 holes and a dual directional spray pattern for excellent power and a linear throttle response across the entire rev range. The fuel injections lightweight Electronic Control Unit (ECU) utilizes a powerful 32-bit processor for fast control of the injection process. The compact design also reduces weight.
Specially designed 7.8 litre airbox features different intake funnel lengths for the inner (150mm) and outer (125mm) cylinders. The benefit is a wide torque curve. A high flow paper type air filter is utilized.
R1 inspired "stacked" 3-axis gearbox / clutch design stacks input/output shafts to centralize mass and keeps overall engine size shorter front to back. As a result, the stacked design gives the engineers the freedom to place the engine in the frame for optimum front to rear weight balance and thereby maximizing handling performance.
Smooth shifting wide ratio 6-speed transmission features optimized gear ratios for maximum performance in the "real world". 5th and 6th ratios are "tall" for reduced engine rpms at highway speeds for excellent rider comfort.
Compact, heavy duty, multi-plate clutch ensures consistent, positive engagement. The clutch has been designed to provide a light lever pull for excellent rider comfort … especially during stop and go city use.
4 into 2 into 1 exhaust system features 35mm diameter, stainless steel header pipes and a short design silencer / muffler. The header pipe length has been optimized for maximum power and torque. This system is fitted with a 3-way honeycomb catalyzer with an oxygen sensor to reduce harmful CO and HC exhaust emissions. The oxygen sensor monitors the amount of oxygen in the spent gases and adjusts the fuel -air mixture via the ECU and FI system for maximum performance with minimum emissions.
High-efficiency "curved" design radiator features compact dual ring-type fans for maximum cooling efficiency. This rad and fan design allows more airflow than conventional flat design rads to maintain optimum engine temperatures for consistent power output. Large liquid-cooled oil cooler maintains stable lubricant temperatures for extended engine life.
