Model numbers

[Farjo]

Shamelessly stolen from Rob2222:

I know this model numbers:
FZ6-N == Model 2004-2006 Naked
FZ6-S == Model 2004-2006 with fairing
FZ6-NA == Model 2004-2006 Naked & ABS (Anti Lock System)
FZ6-SA == Model 2004-2006 with fairing & ABS (Anti Lock System)
FZ6-NHG(W) == New S2 Model 2007 Naked (W marks Australian version)
FZ6-SHG(W) == New S2 Model 2007 with fairing (W marks Australian version)
FZ6-NAHG == New S2 Model 2007 Naked & ABS (Anti Lock System)
FZ6-SAHG == New S2 Model 2007 with fairing & ABS (Anti Lock System)

Then there are the US models:
FZ6-SS
FZ6-SSC

I've found in different Yamaha PDF's too:
FZ6-S (Europe South Africa)
FZ6-SV (Australia)

FZ6-ST (U49/Canada)
FZ6-STC (California)

FZ6-NHG (Europe/South Africa)
FZ6-NHGW (Australia)

FZ6-SS© From the US Manual 2004.
FZ6-ST© From the US Manual 2005.
FZS6-V© From the US Manual 2006.
FZS6-W© From the US Manual 2007.
FZS6-X© From the US Manual 2008.
FZS6-Y© From the US Manual 2009.

This looks for me that in SS and ST the 2nd letter stands for the year.
And then they changed the system and V-Y stands for the year. (What happens 2011??)

Oh dear.

Well, it looks like:

A = ABS (Anti Lock System)
C = California Version
HG = The 2007 new S2 model. (Why H AND G?)
X = The 2007 new S2 model in the US.
N = Naked
S = Fairing
V = Australian Version
W = Australian Version

Is there a list of serial numbers for the FZ6 anywhere?

I have a 2009 but just niggling doubt that it is the 2008 bike although it has many of the 2009 bits and pieces

Cheers

Was not aware that there were differences between the '08 S2 and the '09 model?
Am I wrong on this?

[dolau]

I dont know I think the S2 2009 was always 98 bhp or something like that but the 2008 had the option of the 77bhp which I think ended up in the FJ6 Diversion

I dont have ABS

[flesh]

Some apparent "facts" about the FZ6 model revisions. What this suggests is the FZ6 S2 was supplied with 98bhp but the European FZ6 (non S2) only had 77bhp which is the engine used in the Divvy. Details below:
2006 revision
The FZ6 in 2006 has a revised engine, frame, subframe, grabhandle, rear swingarm and wheels are painted in black. It had a metal honeycomb type catalytic converter satisfies EU2 and CARB emissions standards, and optimized fuel injection (FI) system mapping to increase torque at lower engine speeds

2007 revision
The FZ6 received optimized fuel injection (FI) system mapping, redesigned fairing and windscreen, new instrument cluster with analog tachometer and digital speedometer (similar to the FZ1), new four-piston monoblock brake calipers for the front brake, alumite-finished front forks with revised damping, a three-way catalytic converter, a new seat design, a new rear swingarm, and new passenger footpegs.

European versions other than the S2 have reduced power of 78 hp (58 kW).

2008 revision
The 2008 model is technically unchanged from 2007. The only difference is in appearance of front cowling around the headlights, which is now black regardless of motorcycle colour. The European model 'FZ6 Fazer S2 ABS' has ABS and electronic immobilizer as standard. It is also 5 kg heavier (Dry Weight 191 kg).

2009 revision
The 2009 model (introduced on September 8, 2008) is technically unchanged from 2008/2007 except for the addition of the FZ6R. The European model 'FZ6 Fazer S2 ABS' has ABS and electronic immobilizer as standard. It is also 5 kg heavier (Dry Weight 191 kg).

2010 revision
For the 2010 model year, Yamaha continued to sell the FZ6 Fazer S2 (half-faired) and FZ6 S2 (naked) in Europe. Both have full power (98 PS) and ABS. Reduced power models have been discontinued and replaced with the XJ6 Diversion (half-faired) and XJ6 (naked); both have optional ABS.

In North America, the FZ6R replaces the FZ6. The FZ6R in North America is similar to the XJ6 Diversion, except it is fully faired.

Yes- I have the black headlamp covers so 2008 onwards and no other difference anyway- thanks for that

Love mine! and a weekend away awaits- mid Wales to Wiltshire and back

I'm confused because my FZ-6 papers state under
model number "RJ14" or "RJ148" in between the very long
ID number, which would make it a 2007 FZ6 model, but
while the bike itself is painted black, those motor parts, which
are supposed to be blackened out in 2007 models, are silver
still.

I also have 98hp not 78hp.

*scratches head*

I was trying to find out the exact model year etc because
the previous owners made some modifications to the bike
and I wanted to be sure what I purchased.

[Manny-FZ6]

Took some photographs of the bike in order to better determine
what type & model year it should or could be...2007 or 2006?

Also I wonder what type of case might have been
sitting on top of the back there, that whole assemblyx
looks like a DIY job upon closer inspection.
