The 2011 Yamaha FZ6R is a 600 cm³ liquid-cooled, four-cylinder motorcycle with a six-speed transmission and chain final drive. Yamaha’s U.S.-market owner’s manual is the best reference for its specifications and routine service details; use the motorcycle’s model information and VIN to confirm parts fitment and recall status.

2011 Yamaha FZ6R specifications

The following figures come from Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A.’s FZ6RA(C) owner’s manual, first edition, October 2010. They are manufacturer-listed specifications, not measurements of an individual used motorcycle. The manual distinguishes the FZ6RA and FZ6RAC curb weights.

Item Manual specification
Engine Liquid-cooled, four-stroke, DOHC, inline four-cylinder
Displacement 600 cm³
Transmission and final drive Constant-mesh six-speed; chain
Overall length × width × height 2,120 × 770 × 1,185 mm
Seat height 785 mm
Wheelbase 1,440 mm
Ground clearance 140 mm
Curb weight 212 kg (467 lb), FZ6RA; 213 kg (470 lb), FZ6RAC
Fuel tank capacity 17.3 L (4.57 US gal); reserve amount 3.2 L (0.85 US gal)

These specifications are from the 2011 Yamaha FZ6RA(C) owner’s manual.

2011 FZ6R oil and maintenance schedule

Oil specification and quantity

Yamaha lists SAE 10W-30, 10W-40, 10W-50, 15W-40, 20W-40 or 20W-50, selected for ambient temperature. The oil should meet API service SG type or higher and JASO MA. The manual gives a capacity of 2.50 L when the oil filter cartridge is not replaced, or 2.80 L when it is replaced. Check the oil level before each ride and follow the manual’s procedure and service chart rather than treating capacity as the amount to pour in without checking.

Inspection intervals

The schedule starts at 600 mi (1,000 km) or one month, then shows service points at 4,000 mi (7,000 km) or six months and later scheduled points through 20,000 mi (31,000 km) or 30 months. These are chart milestones, not one universal interval for every maintenance item. Use the item-specific chart in Yamaha’s manual and account for the motorcycle’s actual service history. Before each ride, Yamaha calls for checks that include engine oil, coolant, tire pressure, controls and other pre-operation items.

Spark plug

The manual specifies an NGK CR9E spark plug with a gap of 0.7–0.8 mm (0.028–0.031 in). Confirm the model code and fitment before ordering a replacement.

Tires and pressure

Yamaha lists a 120/70 ZR17M/C (58W) front tire and a 160/60 ZR17M/C (69W) rear tire. For a total load of 0–90 kg, the manual’s cold-pressure figures are 33 psi front and 36 psi rear. It says pressure should be checked before each ride and adjusted for riding speed and the combined weight of rider, passenger, cargo and accessories.

The manual specifies tubeless tires and warns against mixing front and rear tire make or design. It lists Bridgestone BT021 and Dunlop Roadsmart as approved tires in its October 2010 edition; that dated approval list is not a current assessment of tire availability or a present-day recommendation. Follow the manual’s safety guidance and consult a qualified tire professional when choosing replacements.

Finding parts for a 2011 Yamaha FZ6R

Don’t rely on a generic “FZ6” listing to establish compatibility. Yamaha’s manual says the model label is under the passenger seat and advises recording its information when ordering spare parts from a Yamaha dealer; it also asks owners to record the VIN. A dealer fiche catalogs 2011 FZ6R FZ6RAO/FZ6RACO diagram categories and parts, but the listing alone does not guarantee that a specific part fits your motorcycle.

Use the model-label information or VIN to ask a Yamaha dealer or seller to confirm exact fitment. Compare the part’s application, the motorcycle’s model code, and any relevant specification in the manual before purchase or installation. The 2011 FZ6R parts fiche provides a model-specific parts lookup.

Accessories, load and riding safety

Yamaha warns that cargo and accessories can change stability and handling. Added equipment may affect ground and cornering clearance, suspension travel, steering or control operation, lighting, weight balance and stability. The manual says genuine Yamaha accessories offered through Yamaha dealers were designed, tested and approved for the vehicle; Yamaha cannot test unrelated aftermarket products. Check fitment and installation carefully, and consider the added weight and its placement.

The manual states: “This vehicle is not designed to pull a trailer or to be attached to a sidecar.”

Check recalls by VIN

A year-and-model search is not enough to determine whether a particular used FZ6R has an unrepaired recall. NHTSA’s recall lookup distinguishes general year/make/model results from a VIN or plate lookup, which identifies unrepaired recalls associated with that vehicle. NHTSA notes that some recalls already repaired and some more than 15 years old may not appear. For a 2011 motorcycle, ask a Yamaha dealer to check the VIN and service history as well as using the public lookup.
