    What to say... these are not very common issues which we face in our motorcycles.. and I am forced to rethink about my impressions of FZ.
    Oh man dat was not expected ya...
    FZ's a really beautiful BABE... but got many problems! SAD!
    expected alottt from Yamaha this time...

      well..... It doesnt have problems as such. I havent faced any, neither my friends who own Fz, nor I have come across one who has problems. Anyone can post cr@p without any proof, dont have to whine like a sad soul for every post.

      All machines have problems, so do yours and mine.

        Sorry dude (shark80)... was that for me. Do you think that what I wrote about FZ is cr@p. You want proofs .
        Look buddy,
        1. I am not in competetion to Yamaha. In fact as a Motorcyclist, I love yamaha.
        2. Problems I mentioned are specific to bike. I never genralized it for all Yamahas or FZs.
        3. Please have some respect for others. It always pays back.

                chillax! no offence meant!

                All I meant was, I use a Fz and i believe its strong as a bike can get, I've really pushed her hard on the metal roads, no issues as yet. Havent dropped her though
                If your claims are true, a pic would help. Even if there is one, might be a case of one off problems, not a general problem. If there was any major problems, news would have been all over the internet like p200 fork issue.
