    • Hi guys,Dont worry,Nothing to worry,He is a newbie,thats why his heart is beating. and the main thing i noticed in SZ-R is,When you remove the tire for a new tire installation or puncture work,you have to remove the chain cover,because its sprocket and alloy is connected and you cannot remove the alloy alone as in other bikes,so we found it difficult to get the tire changed

      @Athul

      post some pics of tire in bike and different views.

            • Gave bike for 3rd service. If you all could remember i mentioned about accident which i had been through. Well that crash had taken a bit of toll on my bike, at servicing i mentioned him pain in the right hand while riding, then he showed me that the handle bar is bent also he stated fork alignment is also disturbed! Handle bar cost about 200+ and for Fork alignment he mentioned Rs. 450/- i was like what the heck! But I had to do it as it was becoming painful to ride my bike.

              Yamaha Factory shop Pune charges Rs. 230/- for chain lube! I asked them not to do 'Yamalube' chain lube for me and instead asked him to do it normal chain lube, he said that would cost Rs. 200/- I guess this is the time to shoot an email to Yamaha! This is a loot and nothing else! I also saw one strangest thing, they force everyone to go for Semi Synthetic oil stating that it is recommended by Yamaha, I was like how that could be possible?! Manual mentioned 20W40 or 20W50. Mineral oil cost Rs 230/- and Semi synthetic oil Rs. 450/-. Absolute LOOT!

              Seniors please advice on the points mentioned above.

              Cheers!

                        I changed the back tyre of szx without removing the chain. It took less than 3 minute to remove just like any other bike.

                            the tyre had got punctured. I kept the bike at our apartment and a guy came from a nearby puncture shop and did it in minutes.
                            Took the tyre out, went to the puncture shop, fixed the puncture, filled the air and refitted it and charged Rs 60/
