Calculate approx. kilometers reading done after you did your last service(date would be there on the booklet) and now.

please help me out......
Dude, by the way u narrated i'm assuming that ur rear shocker rod must have been damaged. AFAIK the shocker rod if gets damaged cannot be repaired should be replaced.!

Well askyashu, you can check the rear absorber first. Perhaps the adjustment must have been moved from the original position before the accident. Shock absorber can be adjusted using a tool, it can be raised or lowered according to your needs and comfort. Have it check in the Yamaha workshop first and you can get the rate of the Mono shock from there itself.

Ride safe.... buddy....

Even i faced it....before first service it was around 45kmpl and then after 1st service it dropped to 38-40kmpl....dunno but is it coz they do some adjustments to free the engine from stock settings???

Sorry sir but i am from out of town . So the ALL philips crystal vision 55 fits onto the Fz16 ? I thought there are types like h1 h2 etc . ? And it wont need anythin extra like wat hid and xenon kits need right
? And sir what about the secondary light ?(the one below the main headlight ) can it be changed as well ? Oh yea i also heard about somethin called osram night somethin . Which one is better ? Are all of these 35watts? Sorry bro too many questions but i really need answers for all .hope u fellow Fz16 owners and likes would help me out here . Tks . . .

UPDATED:: Just found out about Osram nightbreaker and Philips extreme vision.. seems this 2 are the ones i want.. the Philips Extreme vision is my first choice.. since FZ has a stock 35watt 12v Halogen bulb, how great will it impact my bike's battery since the Extreme vision has 55/65 ? not sure... WILL BOTH bulbs fit onto the FZ with no problems if it is a H4 (one wid hi and low beam)?
