    What is the 4000 for handle bar for? They did not do anything on that except new paint?

    Yamaha, is just overdoing with the pricing .. FZ was already overpriced at the first place and now these sky rocketting rates for nothing but paint, fibre. They should have given these free to compensate already high price tag for FZ


    i completely agree with you saurabh.....

      • It makes some sense for Yamaha or their dealers to charge premium for these accessories. If they were cheaper, lots of people would go for it and so no exclusivity for those who buy. What you guys think?

          • Fz refused to start

            Last saturday I went to my friends house for a mini party wid my wife and kid ...we stayed there for almost 3-4 hours. My house is around 4-5 km from my friends house, while returning at 9.30 pm in the evening, in the way I felt that my horn sound is lill week. I thought it was my hearing mistake but again I blow the sound but it was really week even my headlight became weaker when I blew the horn and after some time I felt it went off. Immediatly i switched off my headlights and then tried now the sound was lill higher but not up to the mark then i stopped my vehicle at railway crossing just near where thease problem arised. Then I tried to start my bike but was really surprised and scared to see that bike refused to start and the horn also but headlight was on but like a lill candle. That time i was really disoppinted and schoked that, what happened to my bike ? I really missed cick start 1st time in my life. I searched some mechanic but disappointed at 10 pm I cud not find anybody..just after 15 min I again tried to start my vehicle but surpricingly it started but the baterry was really weak ..I swiched of my headlights even in the night I thought atleast I shud drop my family at my place and then go to service centre. Any how I reached my place ..I dropped my family ..till then I didnt shut down my vehicle ..and run away for yamaha service centre which is just 3 km away from my house.
            I thought it will be open till 10 pm...but after running some 2-300 mt Fz’s digital console turned off and the engine red light on the head started blincking . Any how my bike took me to 2 km but was runnng and jumping like horse ...and just before 1 km of service centre it went off and refued to start even after DHAKKA MARO . That time I was relly like crying ....then I took my bike PAIDAL(walking)..I was not looking at anybody on the road .feeling really ashamed of my self ..what would be people thinking about me and my brand new FZ. ...any how troubling my hand and leg I reached at the service centre but shocked to see that it was totally closed ..even the guard refused to park my bike...that time 1st time in my life my bike was BOJH to me.I called my friend and told him to send any mechanic where i was ...After some time a mechanic came to me and went through my bike and told me that the baterry has gone and its better to show at the service centre. I parked my bike at my friends place near to YAmaha service center again by walking. Now today morning I went to Yamaha service center wid my bike and then they told me that it could be batterry problem and it will take 2 days to solve it cos they hav to send the battery to the vendor and if its somthing else with the batery of cource they will call.
            Now i hav come to my office and awating for the call.

            Please reply me if any of you has got this kind of problem or if u hav any idea of problem

            One more thing it starts after DHAKKA MARO but again get BANDH after breaking or keeping speed slow and also even if try to put horn button.

            Thanks Abhishek

              • I have noticed this problem with even my Gladiator. The guys at the service station DONT charge the battery plus when they plug it back many a atimes they dont plug it n properly thus the battery doesnt get chraged while on the run. So my gladiator went blank once. I gave the battery for charging and they charged it free of cost adn fitted it the next day. The battery neve died after that day even once..in 13k kms..

                        you vcan do the same in FZ ask in Service Station....
                        if they refuse to do it then you can try in some local bike modifier...

                            The FZ does a true speed of around 115-118kmph (speedo read 125+kmph... full crouched position)... tested side-by-side speeds with a P220 (P220s speedo indicated 120kmph).
                            Still there are people who say they are not able to cross 110kmph on speedo... donno why !!
