hi guys
I have completed three services and the forth one is over due a bit...
In all these I noticed that when i take out my bike after the service the engine oil level is slightly above minimum .. never filled to max. then when you do a lot of stuff with your bike say 1800 kms then the oil level if you check will be fallen...
check on a warm engine after running it for say 5 mins and you find the oil level below min and all the complaints of gearshift and engine harshness are observed..
a note here do not screw the dipstick b4 measuring the oil level.

in this situation i toppen up every time with 100 ml of it and it was smooth like butter again...
there is a service issue i guess no prob with the bike

Depends on how you have ridden the bike...if you constantly ripped it then
you wil need an oil change...i guess you have used a mineral oil...else there may be some other reason to it...do get it checked though...

no yaar oil will last for atleast 2500 kms... that value is with a safety factor...
this is too early for an oil change...

Default Mud Flap

Has anyone fit in the mud flap on their FZ16? The rear mud guard is too small and it splashes the water all over the rear seat..

Even i m waiting to hear about the Mudflap from some of our FZ owners. Monsoons reached our shores at last. So gotta get it fast. Or i guess our shirts will be a piece of abstract art every rainy day.

Default FZ 16 performance kit by Yamaha

Hi Guys,

Got news that Yamaha is releasing performance kits for r-15 and fz 16. Do not know what the price will be though. Let us know if someone has more information particularly about fz-16, what performance parts will be installed etc...

Many Thanks,
-Asim
