Nopes bro.......i looked at other fz's but there is no change.........even i heard about it but the sales guy there had no idea about it........also i paid 500 bucks for the leg guard which I think is a standard fit ment and not an accessory as told by the sales guy there....

I saw the FZ mudguard being fitted to some of the bikes when I went for my service on Saturday. It is almost the same length, just a bit thicker on the sides. Was wondering how it would help in the rains.
I think they are fitting it free, but I didn't ask them. They had a stock of about 100-200 mudguards though.

Default Are there any problems with Fz self start

I am planning to buy a fz in a couple of days. As there is no kick start in bike, do you guys have faced problems with self start anytime especially during winter

Cool Logged 100

Here's my 100 km report what I liked what I don't and all the stuff........

(all compared to my CBZ Star)

likes:
Smooth and Refined engine
love the muffled revs of it
handling is a step up from my CBZ
looks are drooling
self start is improving with kms
LCD Digital display
mirrors are really good
compact dimensions a boon in city riding
headlight spread is good
switchgear quality and buttons excellent
engine kill switch
flasher
vibe free

Dislikes
I would like to ask Yamaha that is a leg guard a fashion statement kind of accessory or a standard fitment for safety??
And Why this horn which is embarrassing for me on such a good machine??

FE seems to be gud rite now but would surely report it...

overall enjoying every bit of it and as suggested by my friends here once I take it above 4.5 k while rest its 4k for me and I vary speed too.....
rest a small question its a really small one as I am confused whether to switch the bike off via key or engine kill switch?? any help........

Default Castrol Power1 on FZ 16

Hi Guys,

Is Castrol Power 1 an ideal engine oil for the FZ 16. I recently replaced my engine oil (yamalube) with Power1. Seems to be working fine. It has a viscosity rating of 10W - 30. I think it is a bit less for our road conditions and temperatures. Most of the times, we top-up/refill with an oil of rating 20W-40.

Any one had bad experiences with this oil? Please share them.

Castrol Activ 4T seems to be ideally suited with respect to the rating.

Comments welcome.

Many Thanks,
-Asim
