some times the gear lever only moves (like spring) but does not fall in gear end up getting confused witch gear i am in .
ALSO sometimes while the bike is stopped fully in signal ,gear does not fall in to 1st from 2nd. is this my bikes problem or this is typical yamaha gearbox

Hi Anirudh,
I've had the issue a few times but its usually when shifting from neutral to 1st or 2nd.When i shift from neutral to 2nd,the gear engages but falls back to neutral.I've given it for my 1st service today,will update if this still occurs

Thanks

the question of mileage has come up so many times. and i was waiting for this day untill i got my friends FZ16 2nd service done.

i ask all those who own FZ16 and try to rule the road from the day the got their hands on FZ16... whats the speed u drove before the first service and whats the speed u drove after the first service.

the average speed before 1st service should be not more than 55kmph. and even if u do exceed 55kmp, u should vary the speed such that u dont put pressure on the engine. and after 1st service.. its a limit of 75kmp.

my friend maintained the same and now he is getting 55kmpl!! now he and me drive in high speed but still dont find much drop in the mileage. and that what the technician said at the pearl yamaha!!

and one more thing....

the upgrades for FZ16 r to be released on 3rd Feb. could get more info other than that there r air intake systems, brake calpers, handle clips and foot rests. there might be more he said. lets hope they have engine upgrades also.

Looks like you haven't seen the post about the accessories for the FZ! Was it in this thread??? I have emailed the photos to Pearl Yamaha last week and until then they were unaware of the details (they knew accessories were coming in but not the details!)

You seem to have a misconception. Please don't do that. Make sure your bike attends the free services... if there are any niggles, get them sorted with another visit but not going for service would mean not attending the minimum problems, apart from voiding the warranty!

sometimes bike gives odd mileage too, well i dont know abt FZ all my frnds are getting 42-45, but i know one issue while owning a pulsar, a guy with 180 pulsar was getting 55kmpl, in service i came to know he had some carburettor issue and he lacked power. I hope the same is not with your FZ

Dn kno much about this, but I was getting average of about 45 before first service, and now, almost 1 month after first service, its mere 35.

I communicated this to mechanic, and he said that after first service, bike will definetely drink more fuel for initial 2-3 weeks, and then, average will improve..

Any Idea/comments on this?
