Yamaha FZS Matt Green Rear Disc Updates

Latest Updates
Thursday, 19 December 2019 08:24 AM Yamaha Motor India has issued a voluntary recall for certain units of the FZS-FI, including those with the rear disc brake, due to the non-fitment of the rear-side reflector. This recall affects motorcycles manufactured after October 2019 and will see the installation of the missing part free of cost. This move ensures compliance with safety regulations. I think this is a responsible step by Yamaha to maintain safety standards.
Saturday, 18 August 2018 03:51 PM Yamaha has reintroduced the popular Matt Green color for the FZS-FI rear disc variant, along with a new Darknight color. These color options were part of Yamahas strategy to boost sales during the festive season. The pricing for these new color options has been incremented by Rs 1,000. This move shows Yamahas effort to keep the model fresh and appealing.
Saturday, 18 August 2018 03:36 PM The Yamaha FZS-FI rear disc brake variant competes directly with other bikes in the 150cc segment, such as the Suzuki Gixxer, Honda CB Hornet 160R, Bajaj Pulsar NS 160, and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V. Despite the competition, the FZS-FI stands out with its fuel-injected engine and Blue Core technology, which improves combustion and cooling efficiency. I think the FZS-FI remains a strong contender in this segment.
Saturday, 18 August 2018 10:03 AM Yamahas decision to reintroduce the Matt Green color for the FZS-FI rear disc variant was well-received by fans, as this color was previously quite popular. The new color options are part of Yamahas strategy to refresh the model and attract more buyers. I think this move shows Yamahas responsiveness to customer preferences.
Thursday, 16 August 2018 05:47 PM The Yamaha FZS-FI with a rear disc brake has been priced at Rs 87,042 (ex-showroom Delhi), making it Rs 4,000 more expensive than the drum brake variant. This variant is available in two new color options: Matt Green and Darknight. The engine specifications remain the same, with a 149cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine producing 13.2 PS of power and 12.8 Nm of torque. I believe the addition of the rear disc brake is a significant upgrade for better braking performance.
Thursday, 16 August 2018 11:40 AM The 2018 Yamaha FZS-FI with a rear disc brake features minor but exclusive changes, including a 220 mm rear disc brake and a new 10-spoke alloy wheel design. The bike also gets angular rear view mirrors, different from the older oval design. These updates enhance the bikes aesthetics and braking performance. I think these changes make the FZS-FI more competitive in its segment.
Thursday, 16 August 2018 07:30 PM Yamaha launched the FZS-FI with a rear disc brake as part of its The Call of the Blue campaign, which aims to introduce Yamahas global image of excitement, style, and sportiness. This campaign includes electronic commercials and digital campaigns across India. The FZS-FI continues to be powered by the same 149cc fuel-injected SOHC engine. I believe this campaign will help in revitalizing the brands image in India.
Thursday, 16 August 2018 09:15 AM Yamaha initially introduced the rear disc brake option for the FZS-FI in January 2018, and later enhanced it with two new color options in August. The bikes mechanical specifications, including the 149cc engine producing 13.2 PS of power and 12.8 Nm of torque, remained unchanged. This update was a step towards keeping the model relevant in the market.
Thursday, 16 August 2018 05:30 PM The pricing for the Yamaha FZS-FI rear disc brake variant varies slightly depending on the color, with the Matt Green and Darknight options being the most expensive at Rs 87,042 (ex-showroom Delhi). This premium is due to the additional features and new color schemes. I think the price increment is justified given the upgrades.
Thursday, 16 August 2018 10:32 PM The Yamaha FZS-FI with a rear disc brake does not come with ABS, which is a notable omission compared to some of its competitors. However, the addition of the rear disc brake itself is a significant safety upgrade. I believe that including ABS would have made the bike even more appealing.
