Performance Profile & Rider Fit

Rider Profile
| Best For | This is a big, tall adventure machine best suited to riders with prior experience on large-displacement bikes rather than absolute beginners. |
| Purpose | Built as a long-range, go-anywhere adventure tourer, with this Worldcrosser edition adding extra off-road and touring-ready hardware. |
| Rider Fit | At 261 kg with an 846 mm seat height, it demands decent height, strength, and confidence to manage at low speed and off-road. |
| Character | It has a torquey, unhurried parallel-twin character paired with shaft-drive reliability, favoring smooth, controlled power delivery over outright sportiness. |
| Not Ideal For | It is not the right choice for riders wanting a light, flickable machine for tight city commuting or track-day carving. |

⚠ Safety Recalls (1)
Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA (Yamaha) is recalling certain model year 2015 FJ-09 (FJ09F/FC), FZ-09 (FZ09F/FC), FZ6R (FZ6RF/FC), Super Tenere (XTZ12F/FC), Super Tenere ES (XTZ12EF/EFC), and R6 (YZF-R6) motorcycles manufactured September 1, 2014, to November 17, 2014. The affected motorcycles may have an incorrectly manufactured shift cam segment stopper, having a sharp edge on the inside of the bend instead of a smooth radius. As a result, the stopper can crack and possibly fracture at this sharp edge.
Risk: If the stopper fractures, the transmission may not shift properly, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Yamaha will notify owners, and dealers will replace the shift shaft assembly with a new one, free of charge. The recall began on April 6, 2015. Owners may contact Yamaha customer service at 1-800-962-7926.
