Yamaha Fazer 2.0 Fi Tyres Price, Best Tyre for Yamaha Fazer 2.0 Fi

In 2014, when Yamaha launched V2.0 of the Fazer, they took a huge leap ahead in terms of technology. The Yamaha Fazer v2.0 was one of the first few motorcycles to feature fuel injection. The Fazer V2.0 was a model update, so along with the updated engine, the motorcycle also featured many cosmetic changes.

The new Fazer carried on the wide front end seen in the older one, albeit with much sharper edges and an all-digital instrument cluster. The Japanese motorcycle company also introduced the ‘Blue Core’ technology, which hinted at lowering the combustion temperature to improve fuel efficiency. The Fazer V2.0 was rated at 12.1bhp and 12.8Nm of torque and power, slightly lesser than its predecessor; But the lack of power was compensated for by a much lighter frame and body. The Fazer V2.0 FI weighed less than 140kg, while the segment leader, the Bajaj Pulsar DTS-i, weighed 145kg. Due to this loss in weight, the motorcycle performed well and offered a real-world fuel-consumption figure of 48kpl.

Yamaha Fazer V2.0 Tyres – An Overview

The Yamaha Fazer V2.0 Fi comes with five-spoke alloy wheels both in the front and the rear. The rims are meant for tubeless fitment only. The front tyre is a 100 / 80-17 (52P), while the rear tyre is a 140 / 60-R17M / C (63P). Both tyres need to be of radial construction.

The wider rear tyre is meant for pillion comfort and better grip over bad roads. The front tyre, on the other hand, is wider than others because the motorcycle is geared to offer a firm, stable ride on all kinds of roads with good braking on all but the worst roads.

Front Tyre	100 / 80-17 (52P)	Tubeless
Rear Tyre	140 / 60-R17M / C (63P).	Tubeless

Note – The rear tyre of the Fazer V2.0 can be upsized, but only to a 140/70-17. This will increase the ride height and may wear out the chain and swingarm faster than usual, but the overall ride quality, ground clearance and off-road grip improve.

Conclusion

The Yamaha Fazer V2.0 Fi is focused more on practicality and smoothness. Thanks to the tractable nature of the engine, it’s still the ride of choice for long-distance motorcyclists.

While selecting tyres for a Fazer V2.0 Fi, keep in mind that the weight of a tyre is directly related to the compound and life. Heavier tyres are harder and hence last longer — at the cost of handling and braking feedback. That is why the kind of tyres one should use for the Fazer V2.0 should be medium-compounded, round-shouldered radial tyres. If possible, match the makes while purchasing tyres. That way, your tread will be directional, and this is good for ride quality and fuel efficiency.
