Yamaha India has stricken the carburetted versions of the FZ-S and Fazer, along with their scooter, the Ray, from their rosters. Just recently, Yamaha has chosen to discontinue the carburetted version of their ever-popular FZ-S, as well as its semi-faired cousin, the Fazer, in India.

Monday, 28 August 2023 01:01 PM Yamaha India has recently discontinued the carburetted versions of the FZ-S and Fazer, marking the end of an era for these popular models. This move is part of the companys shift towards more environmentally friendly and efficient fuel-injected engines. I believe this change will appeal to buyers looking for better mileage and performance.

Saturday, 01 July 2017 10:01 PM The Yamaha FZ-S Battle Green Special Edition, although now discontinued, was a unique offering with its black and battle green graphics. This bike had a 153cc single-cylinder engine, a 5-speed gearbox, and a top speed of 115 kmph. I think the special edition colors added a nice touch to an already popular model.

Saturday, 01 July 2017 10:51 PM With the implementation of GST in July 2017, Yamaha dropped the prices of the FZ series across India. The FZ now retailed at Rs 81,040 (ex-Delhi), a reduction of Rs 571 from the previous price. This price drop made the bike more competitive in the market. I believe this move helped maintain the FZs popularity among budget-conscious buyers.

Tuesday, 01 July 2014 08:48 AM In July 2014, Yamaha launched the new FZ and FZ-S models in India, featuring a newly developed 150cc fuel-injected engine that improved fuel economy by 14% and enhanced acceleration. These bikes also boasted a lightweight frame and new body design, making them more appealing to the Indian market. I think these updates significantly boosted the bikes appeal to young riders.

Monday, 30 June 2008 04:34 PM The original Yamaha FZ-S Version 1.0, which was introduced several years ago, was a game-changer in the Indian street bike segment. It was powered by a 153cc air-cooled engine producing 13.8 BHP and 13.6 Nm of torque, and it quickly became a favorite among stuntmen and performance enthusiasts. I believe its raw power and styling made it a standout in its time.
