Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

[pali]

Hey Pali the Fazer's got the same handle bar as the FZ-16 and the FZ-S. In fact the bike is the same except for the headlight and the fairings.

Its the same but mounted a little higher than normal FZ16 or FZS.

Sorry but afaik the fazer handle is shorter than that of fz in length.. and i don't know about the height..but the length is definitely shorter..

I don know how much kilometers you did th ur bike. But during my first few rides with the bike, I felt pain in my hip. Which is due to the hard rear suspension's effect on sporty seating position.

Asked the service people to change the suspension setting, after that I didnt feel any pain..change your suspension setting if it is hard and try

I have done about 1.9kms.. suspension is pretty soft ,its still in stock setting though..

Hi guys

I am riding the FZ since Jan 2009 and i have done 19490 Km's , there is a dull pain that i notice in my knee and hip joints, is it because of the ergonomics of th e bike or because that i am riding too much..?

Does anybody here has a similar experience.?

dude whatever it is thats causing this pain, I suggest you start jogging coz riding your bike less won't solve the problem(even if it is the cause). but na; I also have same extensive riding habits but no long term pains only the ones due to fatigue.

I haved powered the clutch, by doing a hole in clutch plate. Good power difference, no change in milage.

can you explain it further; how holes in clutch plate can increase performance, I am not getting it

Interesting you made holes in ur clutch plate for what joy....And how has it made an increase in the power. This is the 1st time i have heard of this...

Yesterday a weird thing happened. I was supposed to give my bike for 3rd service today and was thinking of telling them to adjust the tuning toward more mileage when I got a mileage of 51kmpl! I am sure that for exactly 2.2 litres, the bike has run abt 112km. as I use the reserve to reserve method.

Now have decided not to adjust the tuning after all.

yamaha doesn't sell the emblems separately..you will have to replace the whole part for the sake of having the yamaha emblem..
still check out with your svc guy. maybe he can help.

+1. If they are the tuning fork holograms, you can get them, but the body panel stickers are not available separately. They come clear (lacquer) coated to the paint.
Mostly the person who made away with your sticker also wouldn't have been able to use it.
The same thing happened to my R15's left side panel sticker too, costed me Rs.575 to change it.
Really sad that such things happen to people like us who love their bikes so much.

You're wrong bro.... Yamaha does sell the emblems separately,..costs 20 rupees or something,...

some hooligans removed it from the R15 and i got new ones kept,..from service station itself

But the stickers u cannpt get them,..have to change the part!! yamaha emblems are available for sure

[Sarvajit]

Oh, if its that one, you'll get it easily for about Rs.20 as nikhpaul has said.
But if they are the tank/other panel stickers, its not sold separately.

U can easily get it at few service centres dude.. Like your case, even my YAMAHA logo was scratched & I got a new sticker from SVC @ Rs 20 only.. While they were searching for the sticker, I saw they have a collection of all possible Yamaha FZ & R15 stickers with them.

Are the ones that are on the tank of the R15 also available at Karol bagh..? i need the same one's but smaller in size. but the type should be the same...any idea ?
