The European model 'FZ6 Fazer S2 ABS' has ABS and electronic immobilizer as standard. The only difference is in appearance of front cowling around the headlights, which is now black regardless of motorcycle color. The 2008 model is technically unchanged from 2007. The FZ6 received optimized fuel injection (FI) system mapping, redesigned fairing and windscreen, new instrument cluster with analog tachometer and digital speedometer (similar to the FZ1), new four-piston monoblock brake calipers for the front brake, alumite-finished front forks with revised damping, a three-way catalytic converter, a new seat design, a new rear swingarm, and new passenger footpegs. In October 2006, Yamaha announced an updated FZ6 for the 2007 model year. It had a metal honeycomb type catalytic converter satisfies EU2 and CARB emissions standards, and optimized fuel injection (FI) system mapping to increase torque at lower engine speeds.

The FZ6 in 2006 has a revised engine, frame, subframe, grabhandle, rear swingarm and wheels are painted in black. These features position it between a full supersport and a naked streetfighter (although in Europe and Australia, there is an available naked FZ6N option). This bike is a popular choice for its half-fairing, upright seating position, and underseat exhaust. The FZ6 styling was continued in 2011 with the Yamaha FZ8 and FAZER8. In 2010, the FZ6 was replaced by the fully faired FZ6R in North America, and the XJ6 Diversion, XJ6 N and XJ6 Diversion F in Europe. As a multi-purpose motorcycle it can handle sport riding, touring, and commuting. The engine is retuned for more usable midrange power. The Yamaha FZ6, also known as the FZ6 FAZER is a 600 cc (37 cu in) motorcycle that was introduced by Yamaha in 2004 as a middleweight street bike built around the 2003 YZF-R6 engine. 600 cc (37 cu in), liquid-cooled, DOHC, inline 4-cylinder, 16 valves
