. I was wondering if we could clean the chain with petrol, kerosene or any other cheaper chemical before using the Yamaha Chain Cleaner as a final touch

. Of course the chain cleaner gives good result, but damm its expensive

to use every now and then considering the riding environment and the rain.

Does anyone have an advice?]

it will sound peculiar but earlier I used to of cleaning my chain with the Burnt Oil

it really worked fine for me

,
cheap, and working Jugaad

But why does one have to buy it..... Shouldn't it come bundled with the bike itself.

you may not have noticed it, but someone may peeled it off from there,
its a common damn thing happens on FZ,
or if its not present till the purchase date you can ask your dealer to give you one,

Step 1: Place vehicle on centerstand, ensure rear wheel is off the ground.
Step 2: Start engine, let it run in 2nd gear.
Step 3: While the chain is moving, spray the cleaner evenly.
You will notice black drops falling on the ground.
Step 4: Accelarate a bit hard so as to let all the dirt come out.
Step 5: Stop the engine, clean the chain with a cloth&do not poke your fingers too far in. If you want, you can even wash the bike with pressure water wash.

Now its time to spray the chain lube. Follow Steps 1, 2&3 for this.

This is what I do to clean my chain,
Nice Info Sarvajit

I have this one,
In Yamaha Genuine Accessories They have a bit cheaper one,450 bucks Chain Lube,
but quality of both are very satisfactory

In other FZs I saw that they had a .........

Many Thanks,

i still think it would be better to use a crash bobbin, for eg.

eBay.com.my: YAMAHA FZ1 & FAZER Round CRASH BOBBINS- 2006-09 (1Pair) (item 110351577092 end time Feb 25, 2009 01:34:40 MYT)

would not even spoil look of FZ.

Devilboy · 05-06-2009, 10:54 AM

Have you tried fitting those bobbins in FZ16/S ?
See your link...looks good and appealing....but dont think it will have a place for FZ16/S.... looks like they are made of rubber, good impact-absorber....

By the way are they available in Indian Market?

i would prefer to spend on Split seat installation then buying this Mesh Seat ,
but its undoubtedly comfortable,

i think if you find in any seatcover shop you will find better options and cheaper too
