The new FZ-S is differentiated by means of an angular headlamp which offers more real estate for the accompanying body colored panel. The visor has also been redesigned to suit the new headlamp and is smaller than before. The new instrument console has a rectangular LED display unit which is larger than the previous unit.

The side of the Yamaha FZ-S V2.0 gets numerous new elements like tank scoops and smaller silencer.

In profile, the motorcycle is instantly recognizable yet incorporates plenty of upgrades. The color themes and body decals are new and so are the tank extensions. The centre panel is mildly revised and the tail section is completely reworked to include split seats, new grab rails and a license plate enclosure. The bulky silencer of the old bike has been replaced by a sleeker element, which gives it a sense of lightness.
