2007 Yamaha FZ6 Fazer / ABS 57kw = 78Ps
2008 Yamaha FZ6 S2 72 kw = 98Ps

Yamaha launches two new versions of the FZ6 Fazer at Intermot - Dailymotos.co.uk This article would support this claim of two different engine power ratings.

Are yamaha reducing the power of the good old FZ6s just to boost sales of the S2?
So there I was, all getting paranoid, have I got the slow one. How do you check with out a dyno.
So I checked the good old VIN document (in the uk we have a vehicle registration document) It lists year of reg and first reg. Vechicle number ect.
Importantly it also displays the power output. Mine said 72Kw thank god.
So guys I was just wondering if you would check your docs and see if we all read the same. I dont know what the fellas over the pond will do to check their power or the guys n girls in Europe I would be very interested to know.
