FZ16 problem - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

hi guys ... suddenly have a problem with my FZ , bought in June with about 1.5k on the odo ... there are really weird rattling sounds from the engine ,as if something has gone loose inside and the engine seems to be choking while riding (i.e power delivery is considerably reduced ) , the problem seems to reduce if the bike is not used for sometime , say overnight ... then re-occurs once you ride it for sometime ..

I got no clue as to what could be wrong

... Is it the spark plugs or something worse ??? SVC is closed half day as today is saturday ... can't take it there as well .

Maybe the tappets are loose. Or the timing chain has some slack.

Nand15,

Take it to your Yamaha Authorized Service Station ASAP. Posting here with vague symptoms won't help much.

Cheers,

Jay

It's almost close to a year and was just wondering if things got sorted out. Curious because you will be doing a long trip(again?) to Krishnagiri this weekend

If things are fine now, what was the issue?
