What kind of exhaust valve does a Yamaha FZR600 have?
Some FZR600’s, and all those sold in California, USA, have an EXUP valve. The EXUP maintains high back pressure at low RPM’s and opens fully at high RPM’s yielding excellent midrange and no loss of top end, most exhaust tuners find the Yamaha EXUP valve design “hard to beat.”
Can a 49 state FZR600 have an exhaust system?
Therefor it is recommended to only add a full exhaust system on a 49 state FZR600 as it requires you to lose the EXUP valve (just get a good slip-on). The only problem with the stock FZR for performance riding is the under dampened rear shock and soft fork springs.
When did the Yamaha FZR 600 come out?

What’s the name of the old Yamaha FZR?
The ’94 FZR (called the YZF600 in the USA) got new frame, wheels (tires), bodywork, engine & suspension. The only similarities to the old FZR were the name and the motor’s angle. The new FZR lacked the old bike’s sparkling naughtiness and though it put Yamaha back at the top, it was only temporary. The ZX-6 and re-vamped CBR6 saw to that.

What kind of engine does a Yamaha FZR600 have?

What kind of springs do you use on a Yamaha FZR?
Öhlins and FOX both make replacements for the rear that make a world of difference and Race Tech springs for the front are the preferred choice. The FZR is an excellent machine that will run circles around inexpensive Ninja’s, Katana’s, and the like.
