This feature was accepted well by our customers & moving forward with today's launch of FZSFI, we have decided to make it as a mandatory feature for our FZS FI Models. We are committed to offer something exceptional to the motorcycling customers of India and today we are upgrading our popular FZ series with features like side stand engine cutoff switch & inbuilt Bluetooth connectivity for FZS-FI. We will keep on listening to our customers & continue to launch new products under the banner of The Call of The Blue."

The 2021 Yamaha FZ FI now comes with the side-stand engine cut-off switch for the new year, while the company says the exhaust has been tuned for better sound. The bike is offered in two colour options - Racing Blue and Metallic Black. Moreover, the kerbweight on the motorcycle has been reduced from 137 kg to 135 kg, which should help improve handling on the motorcycle.

The 2021 Yamaha FZS-FI, on the other hand, gets a new matte red paint scheme, along with the four existing colour options Dark Matte Blue, Matte Black, Dark Knight, and Vintage Edition.

The motor is paired with a 5-speed gearbox. The Yamaha offering competes against the Hero Xtreme 160R, Honda X-Blade, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and the likes in the segment.
