    Yamaha Fazer Mileage problem

    i own a limited edition fazer bought on 4th november
    the bike had its first service and clocked 2358km on the odo
    i had never checked the mileage thought im getting 40kmpl. yesterday i went a road trip.i fueled 5 litres and when i came back that 5 litres are gone and i only coved 153km.plz help me how to solve this problem.when i told yamaha guys they told me that its due to rash driving.i havent crossed 60kmph before the first service and still im getting only 30.in yesterdays trip 75 was the maximum speed that i went.so pls help me how to solve this.i cannot afford this kinda mileage for long.even my xbhp friend is gettin 45km in his pulsar 220.plz seeking your advice..

      30-35 kmpl is normal for fazer .

      And tell the SC guys to talk with some respect , dont let em get over your head .
      Hope is a good thing ,
      may be the best of things and
      no good thing ever dies .

        As said you cannot expect better mileage figure from an Yamaha - they are not meant for that....
        The normal Mileage figures of FZ or Fazer is somewhere around 30 - 35 -extreme conditions 40....
        And as for your Friends P220 - giving 45kmpl.......
        That is Pulsars Story....

          see dude...31 is kinda on the low side but i guess 35-40 kmpl is the mileage u can target to achieve....try using better fuel...it helps...drive sensibly....dont accelerate suddenly....driving rash with jerk acceleration reduces mileage...get ur feed checked....if its too rich then may be u can lose a bit of acceleration for much needed FE

            dude u cannot except mileage for yamaha bikes like fz,fazer.my friend fz(9000 kns done) gives max 30 km/litre.my pulsar 180 ug4(5500 kms done) gibes me 45-50km/litre

              You can check the choke cable, and ensure that its not pulled. Also get the spark plug checked for excessive carbon deposit. If any, then it would indicate that the fuel mixture is rich, i.e. the bike is burning excessive fuel.

              Also keep the tyre pressure regulated. Tubeless tyres tend to lose air more frequently than tubed tyres.

              Guys lets not just write off the mileage, im sure there are a few basic checks that he can do before giving in to this kind of mileage.

                Well, contrary to ur problem, I own a fz 16 for the past 3 months and I haven't got a mileage less than 42kmpl. The maximum I have got is 54kmpl, both in city and the 2nd service is completed. Since the fazer also has the same engine as the fz, the mileage should be similar. But the fazer is 13kg heavier than the fz. I think the average mileage should be in the 35-45kmpl range. I suggest you do this mode of driving:
                Draw the bike to the maximum in each gear . Shift up at 4000rpm only, shift down at 2000rpm, don't exceed the speed over 53kmpl. Also don't use the clutch except for gear shift. These should give u the maximum mileage. I got mine with these.

                Also consider modification like the k & m filter for Rs.1600. A performance and mileage increase of 10% is guarenteed
                Reduce 1 km/hr speed, add 1second 2 ur life.

                  k and N increases the mileage!!!! no chance man...the thread on air filters says that be prepared to lose out on mileage for performance....

                    Dude I guess the petrol bunk guy duped you. Be very alert when you are filling fuel, always make sure that the bunk guy resets the bunk meter to zero and never talk another attendant while filling fuel, keep your eyes fixed on the bunk meter.

                      Could any-body tell what exactly is the cause for low mil. of FZ. Is it due to the fat Tyres or anything else. By reducing the tyre size can we increase the mileage.

                          one of the primary reason for the low mileage is the rear tyre....but the design is such that expecting anything over 45 kmpl is optimistic...

                          but jus changing the rear is not a solution....the bike has been designed and tested with this tyre...any change in the tyre may lead it to behave unexpectedly...the bike may loose traction and feel really unsafe ....

                          a simple way to increase mileage is to drive constant acceleration ...shift up at 4000rpm...down at 2000rpm...no sudden braking...no speeds over the limit...basically 60kmph...and all such measures.....

                            everything said and done.. still no report on whats the condition of the spark plug, whether tyre pressure is being maintained and checked on a regular basis.

                            You could try out the following - Increase the tyre pressure, front by 1 psi, and rear by 2 psi than normal. this will reduce the contact area of the tyre and reduce rolling resistance, increasing the mileage.

                            Also check the condition of the chain, it should be clean, and well lubricated, and should not be too tight or too loose.

                              Well the fz series aren't gonna give you good mileage. The fat rear tire is to blame for this. My friend's fz16 isn't giving him anything over 35km/l. But for increasing the mileage you can try with more air air pressure in the tires(both front and rear). Also, sudden bursts of acceleration would be your enemy. Try slow acceleration, de-acceleration, minimal use of brakes, shutting off the engine at red lights etc etc.

                              BTW:there's a thread on xbhp about how to extract most mileage from 150+cc bikes. Read through it and maybe you'll get a respectable figure of around40-45km/l
                              A good long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith, and use up a lot of fuel.
