Is the FZR 600 engine an interference or non-interference engine?

Non-interference engine = cam chain/belt snaps, or valve timing is incorrect, pistons do not hit valves.

My guess. the 600 is a high compression engine 12.1 ratio. Higher compression = smaller combustion chamber. I'd put money on it that the 600 is a "interference engine". But I'm not certain.
