3. New Traction Control System
Yamaha has introduced traction control across its 2023 motorcycle lineup, bringing an additional safety net for users. The new Yamaha FZS FI V4 also benefits from the same. Yamaha says the traction control system controls the ignition timing and fuel injection volume to adjust engine power output to avoid excessive slippage. This ensures minimising wheelspin on the motorcycle. The feature is also available on the 2023 FZ-X, MT-15 V2, R15 and R15M motorcycles.
4. Familiar specifications
While the 2023 Yamaha FZS FI Deluxe variant gets a host of new features, it continues to use the same mechanicals. Power comes from the 149 cc single-cylinder, fuel-injected motor tuned for 12.2 bhp and 13.3 Nm of peak torque, paired with a 5-speed gearbox. The bike uses telescopic forks at the front and a monoshock at the rear, while braking performance comes from disc brakes with single-channel ABS.
5. New prices
The 2023 Yamaha FZS FI V4 comes with a price increment of ₹3,000 over its predecessor. The upgrades do add to the cost and the model now retails at ₹1.27 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). That said, the standard FZ FI will continue to be on sale at ₹1.14 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), which is a whole ₹13,000 cheaper in comparison.
