LOL! I think it should not be a problem for a small ride within the limit of 4 K RPM for first 500 kms, others pls correct me if I am wrong here.

On other side, the bike touches 100 kmph in 4th gear with 10500 RPM! Damn thats quite high, shifted to 5th gear and smooth road ended so had to drop the speed.

Let some other to reply on this.. +1 for your reply.. any more advice on my question

Lalit even my bike crossed 45 kmph under 3800rpm sometimes on good straight road.... then i remembered that its run in period so I closed the throttle to 3000 rpm...
Till now no problem at all, on my front tyre is little bit stiff due to disc break, will check the same on coming sunday & will change my oil also as till now its completes... 250

I got one que for the owner of this bike, which is common,

Is this bike got all-the-time milage figure ? What is that ? (example;- Unicorn return 50 kmpL, no matter what )

Saw the poll result, (at the time of writing)

38 people (25.17%) vote this bike return 41-45 kmpl

38 people (25.17%) vote this bike return 45-50 kmpl

Which one to trust ?
---------------------------------------------
Yes, I guess

18 people (11.92%) vote 50-55 kmpl <-----yes may be they are in run-in mode.

16 people (10.60%) vote more than 55 kmpl <--- sure they drove like splender.
---------------------------------------------

Also, point to note,

23 people (15.23%) vote 36-40 kmpl <----this is the average milage figure for FZ engines.

You can understand this as: 87.5% of all SZs owned by xBHPians return an FE of 50kmpl or less. Thats what a typical new owner should expect.

Also, contrary to what you might think, not all Unicorns return *at least 50kmpl no matter what*. My roomie's Unicorn would struggle to even reach 45kmpl. Sometimes even my P220 would return more under identical traffic and route conditions.

Same Question here :

My SZ-r is only 15 days old, I filled up the petrol of 500rs which was 7.30 ltrs ( Delhi)

My bike runs only 250kms(upto Reserve) .. which means only 35 per liters...i never crossed my bike above 4000rpm but still so how less mileage will wait for first service.

How much petrol did your bike had when you filled in Rs. 500/- worth petrol?

Showroom people might have said they pour in 1 liter 2 liter etc etc, I dont trust them, because they are more interested in keeping their bikes tanks full than the new bikes to be delivered to the customers.

As far as the mileage of SZ-R concerned, like I said earlier that mileage of this bike is entirely depend upon, how you completed the run-in of this bike and how you ride it, the question of reliable petrol bunks and other technical factors also come into the picture here.

I got upto 55 kmpl under a standard condition of Splendor mode ride of 40 kmph, now after switching to Elf 10W50 Synthetic oil all that gone into the bed. I rip my bike whenever I want and ride below 55-60 kmph in city limits because I feel unnecessarily exceeding speed limit in city would only invite trouble. In Rs. 100/- petrol my bike run upto 60-65 kms, and I calculated it 3-4 times after 8th service. Petrol prices in Pune are Rs. 75.50/-

PS: I havent yet ridden it on highway after switching to ELF FS, planning for Pune - Mumbai - Pune ride, and I dont know if I would do it or not, due to some personal commitments.

Cheers!

I believe proper run in and how bike is ridden is crucial for any bike's mileage and not a special case for SZR. I have 11 year old Enfield and it gives 40 KMPL consistently, have heard a friend's splendor giving him 35 KMPL!!!

kya yaar!!! now i need to learn the motorcycle riding technique.

Joke apart!!! yesterday i filled again 7.30 ltr petrol on 230 km

let c the mileage.. now..

Your bike, Yamaha SZ-R is an air cooled single cylinder bike with its maximum power of 11.93 bhp at 7500 rpm and, in that sense, much behind most of the other 150 cc bikes we regularly see on our roads.
SZ-R reaches above 110 kmh - not 100 - in forth gear if – only if it can be – revved up to 10500 rpm. Usually it is a bit difficult for any bike to reach the level where the maximum power is produced; going beyond that need not be mentioned.
Being it an air cooled bike, minimize your riding speed. Don’t forget to get the speedometer/tachometer assembly checked, repaired and calibrated when you go to the SC next time.

Bro, My post was never meant for low mileage reported by you.... . It was just my view to what Lalit said " run in matters for this bike..." but run in and driving style matters for every bike not special case for SZR.

Bike manufacturers give max bhp rating that is generated in engine chamber but how much of those bhps ACTUALLY get transferred to wheels is different matter altogether. bhp rating is not only significant factor...but how well things are implemented around those bhps also matters a lot like transmission, gears, bike weight etc.Swift Diesel and Tata Vista share same fiat engine....but they are worlds apart as how things around that engine are implemented make the difference.

SZR falls in price category of 125cc... It is just alternative to 125 cc bike with bigger heart ie 150cc and a yamaha engine.

This does not mean in any sense that I want to say that Yamaha SZR is more powerful or less powerful than other 150cc bikes ... but just adding whatever I know.

Yes, that's true buddy, I never ride 125cc till today, but there is a vast change when you moved from 100cc to 150cc specially SZ-r, much more relaxed engine even after 20 days of purchased , good shock observer too..

It is good to see man content with his new bike who posted so many bike queries in "what bike" section.

Post your new mileage figures soon.... whats ur daily travel by the way ?

My replies in bold.

Cheers!

1. You may be correct. But it is not my own discovery. A stranger while going together on our own bikes said me that Fazer, FZ16, FZS, SZR and SZX shares the same engine. Besides that, he went to the extent that Yamaha R15 uses the same engine with different bore stroke and compression ratios. According to him, modifying an engine is easy but designing one is not.
But after reading your post, I doubt that what I said earlier may perhaps be incorrect. Better consult an automobile engineer or someone like that. I too shall try to enquire about it.
2. You are misinterpreting my words. I did not say or imagine in my mind that your claim is a fake. At least, aren’t both of us riding on bikes? This is what I said: SZR reaches 110 kmh speed, not 100 kmh, at 10500 rpm in forth gear. Further, I said that for any bike it is difficult to reach the rpm where the maximum power it produces and going beyond that is almost impossible. This is from my experience and don’t know where I did abuse you or your bike.
3. If you are sure that the reading of speedo/tachometer is correct, it need not be checked. Anyway, riding at 10500 rpm – your bike redlines at 9500 – is not good for your bike as some engine parts like valves or something like that – I am not sure but read somewhere - may melt due to the extreme heat produced.
