Generation I (2001–2005)
The FZ1 was produced for the United States in 2001. Models produced in the period 2001 to 2005 were known as FZS1000S, Fazer in Europe. They had a modified Yamaha YZF-R1 motor in a steel tubular frame. The FZ1 was carbureted and produced around 140 hp (100 kW) (118–120 hp at the wheel). They were virtually unchanged over this period, except for different colour options. In some European countries the 2005 model saw the introduction of an exhaust based catalytic converter, albeit of a rudimentary design.
Generation II (since 2006)
2006 saw the introduction of a completely new model. The main changes included a new chassis, suspension, body work and a completely new engine, never seen before in the big Fazer. This brought the bike up to date with modern rivals. The new model has a 998 cc DOHC 20-valve R1 engine, which produces 150 hp (110 kW) (129–132 hp at the wheel) at 11,000 rpm, set in an all-new compact aluminum frame.
2006 Revision
2006 version when first introduced had distinct throttle snatch at 5000–6000 rpm, where rolling off the throttle and rolling back on caused a distinct surge in acceleration due to faster opening of the sub-throttle plates or secondary flies.
2007 Revision
From 2007 onwards Yamaha solved the throttle snatch issue by slowing the rate at which the secondary flies were being opened. Yamaha also softened the rear shock spring. 2007 also received a Raven black colour scheme with red stripes.
2008 Revision
The 2008 model is technically unchanged from 2007. Only change for 2008 other than colours was golden rims.
2009 Revision
The 2009 model (introduced on September 08, 2008) is technically unchanged from 2007 and 2008. Yamaha changed to dark gold rims and replaced the gold anodized USD forks with black anodized ones. Yamaha also reintroduced the Raven colour scheme but with slight changes and called it Granite Gray.
2010 Revision
The 2010 model (introduced on September 08, 2009) comes with revised ECU mapping to achieve improved throttle response in the low to mid-rpm range. Yamaha reverted back to 08 gold rims and the gold anodized USD forks. Yamaha also reintroduced the Red colour scheme. Finally FZ1 now comes with black powdercoated exhaust, rearsets and passenger peg assemblies to match the frame.
