    Problems in my FZ

    Guys,

    Kindly help to fix the following problems in my FZ 16. i bought it on 2nd july 09. did 3 free services so far.

    the problems are,

    1. My handlebar is jittering more while driving even in slight bumpy roads ( I am driving my friend's Shine too. But in it I didnt feel this much vibe)

    2. I feel a change in engine vibration at 2 conditions.@ 50 kmph in 4th gear, @ 60 kmph in 5th gear. At this condition my engine is vibrating more than normal. I can feel it in my handle bar.
    Reported this prob to my service people. They simply tightened every bolt & nut. But same problem is repeating.

    3. My engine s gettin turned off frequently. Bad thing is sometimes engine turned off while accelerating from idle..
    Its not about just vrooming the engine, sharp cuts, top speeds...A true biker should understand his machine

    The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

      dude no matter how much u tight every bolt & nut its not gonna make ne difference.I was also facing da same probs for my FZ-S, so i went to yamaha service center & the mechenic there he did some setting near the engine. there is some screw near the rpm meter which u wil find near ur engine dat has 2 be properly tuned.

      & regarding ur engine it must b'cause da engine is 2 cold or u r not heating up ur engine properly or it could also b for the RPM setting. your RPM should be at 1.2k.
      Four wheels move the body. Two wheels move the soul.......

        . If u r saying it s due to cold engine, it should not happen after some 1 hour of continuous riding. In that case, engine will be hot. But in my case it s turning off irrespective of engine condition

          50 in 4th and 60 in 5th correspond to approximately the same engine speed. The vibrations that you feel are due to resonance. My FZ has the same behaviour. So this is normal. If it annoys you so much, don't stay at the speed in those gears!

          Without you comparing your bike with other FZ, it's impossible to say whether the steering jitteriness that you felt is again a problem or not.

            Thank u vik

            I didnt drive any other FZ yet..But the vibe s uncomfortable. My forks are repaired once by removing slight bent formed due to one accident..Whether this could be a reason?

            do u have the engine switching off problem.. Also my clutch is hard even 1 hr conti travel making my left hand painful

              hey kain...i dont know bout your riding style...but would suggest to try doing this...

              1)dont try to pull from 0 with a jerk,begin slowly...
              2)try up shift at about 4500-5000rpm and down shifts at 2500rpm.(works good for my fazer keeps the running smooth)
              3)even after 3rd service avoid going 40-50+ n first 10-15 mins of ride,let the engine heat up a bit...

              aftr riding the fazer for almost 5 months now, i feel that following above things help me keeping the ride quality smoother...

              regarding the startin g problem,,,i hv not faced any such issues yet,,,but checking your idling rpm settings might help..

              gud luck...

                Repaired forks are never as good as new ones so they could be the cause of the steering jitteriness.

                The clutch could hard because of a sticky cable. Have it lubricated or replace it.

                You will have describe the engine problem in more detail to get people to help you.

                  Your Issue seems to be the same of mine - what im facing in My Ride...

                  1 - Your handle bar Vibrates - check for the Bar end Weights - and also the Balls in the handle bar - they might have got crushed during the time you had the Accident - shine has a Commutish Seating position rather than the FZ's Sporty seating positon - there are Differences

                  2 - Your Valve train and Tappets needs to be Checked

                  3 - You are running in Lean Mixture - or an Air Block

                  4 - Check for Clutch cabling Lubrication - ask your mechanic to examine your Clutch Plates

                        same way am always driving

                        2)try up shift at about 4500-5000rpm and down shifts at 2500rpm.(works good for my fazer keeps the running smooth)

                        I usually upshift at 5-6 k. This I will follow and see. thanks for d input.

                        3)even after 3rd service avoid going 40-50+ n first 10-15 mins of ride,let the engine heat up a bit...

                        Every morn I ll keep my engine in idling for 5 min before start driving. Also will drive upto 3 kms well below 50 kmph

                          Dude about the bolt, look it up closely in the manual they'll tell u where it is, u can tune her yourself, My bro does the same to his R15, the RPM should idle at 1.2-1.3k,..

                          For ur engine switching off problem, im facing that with the passion plus, dont give too much throttle all at once, thats how my passion switches off,...

                          Change the clutch cable, but before u do that tell the service people to check up your clutch plates too

                          Fork throwing isn't always perfect. but did u get your front rim and /or Disk checked if they are bent?? this could and lead to shaking of the handle

                          The vibrations u are experiencing at the above mentioned gear speeds is as said by a fellow Bhpian is due to RESONANCE,..try n keep outta that speed if u dont like it

                            This much earlier to change the clutch plates.I did only 4.5K with my man..And friend with this robust looks & grunt its def not a gal

                            Actually I met th an accident. In that my front forks & disc got bent. I changed the disc th a new one. not the forks since its 10k. So no probs th disc..

                              check the rim,...that may be the problem,...im sorry i thought every guy (like me) refers to their steeds as girls sometimes as girlfriends (my r15 is a sexy good looking fast chick)

                              Even if u dont release the clutch all the way the plates can get damaged,...thats why better check it up,...or it will be the problem of the clutch wire
