[quote=Anjit_Sharma;187933]can understand your feelings bro,
why don't you try in some other service station,
i mean in Hyd there should be somany service station unlike Jabalpur where only one YMISS is present

I think thats what i have to do, but i dont think thats fair as the bikes still under warranty and i shouldnt be paying for any thing. Has any one tried the Castrol Bike Zone? Hows the place? I mean are they professional? Damn these indian bikes, cant even get a Dyno test done on them to check the performance or change in performance!!!!!

The FZ-S has weird color combo's, the bikes lost its Masculinity. I think rather than colors Yamah shud think on increasing its performance. Just add another 100cc + FI + Rear Disc = YZFR15 killer. It will out sell any other local bike.

Say what guys?

^^ what you talking about... if you want a faster bike with more BHP go buy a R15.. the FZ16 is perfect for what it is..

agreed, ppl's expect too much its like asking for a NANO with 6 CD changer, and turbo charged engine. Yamaha set expectations right already its a street bike and i never felt less power it being a street bike.


Guys any updates on engine cover or some accessories for FZ? how is the mesh for seat provided by yamaha?

i think its an OT in ownership thread, but if you want some more power from that 153 cc mill,
shell out some more money, add an tractac Exhaust, install a K & N filter, use full synthetic oil, you will see the results
and you can install a rear disk too,
its all about money bro

oh engine cover is a small plastic part which covers lower part of engine to prevent from mud and all those. like in apache RTR Fi, you see one below engine near the footpeg.

Also any idea how good is mesh seat cover by yamaha? My bike still hits the breaker with pillion Grrrr....
