Personally, i always advocate Motul brand as i have had a very good experience since, the last two years. Mineral oil does turn black quickly due to oxidation when it comes in contact with the air and then also with your engine running. Actually the colour turning black is not exactly the right parameter to judge the condition of the oil Take one drop of engine oil in between your finger tip and close and open your fingers.. if the oil is sticky then it still has the properties to lubricate properly. If it is runny then the oil has lost the lubrication properties and only the base oil remains. A good engine oil is a must as it also acts a a heat exchanger/coolant; cooling the engine.

What is your FE? if it is hovering around 40-45 kmpl then the tuning is fine from what i can understand. If the colour of the spark plug tip is chocolate brown then it is running stoich mix as explained in PSR Ji's diagram.

Try Motul mineral Oil 3000V 4T 20W 40. Costs the same as Yamalube but your engine will feel much smoother and the engine heat will reduce. I would recommend that you try Motul Semi Synth oil 300v 4T 15W 50 "single ester" as that is one of the best grade oils you can find in the market say once your free services are done. Will last around 3000-3500 kms. You can get in touch with Motul representatives from the website or else shoot a mail to atlantic lubricants they can arrange home delivery in major cities if the nearest Motul retail shop is very far from your home.


Cheers,

Cheers,

Can anyone suggest what tyres i should put on my FZ? After around 33,000kms, most of those were long weekend rides, my tyres have developed cracks and have started balding.

I asked around and heard that Dunlop is a good rear tyre but tey havent made one for the front so i'll have to stick with MRF up front.
I dont want to mix and match.

Any suggestions?

PS: I have tubes in both tyres because if the air leakage caused by slight bend in the rims which is a problem faced by many as i've read.

No need to change the front tire brand.. front tire seldomly goes Kaput on punctures and the stock MRF is very good with grip in cornering. If you are really looking for a lot of grip you can check Pirelli Sports Demon both for front and back.. i cannot comment on the kms you can run on the slick tires.. check with member Dilip Deville on that.

I would recommend sticking with front MRF stock and rear Tuff Grip.

Cheers,

Please visit the dealer as you have finalised the bike and stuck with color/edition. You anyways have to go there to ask the delivery time and all.

Frankly anything you buy from the showroom will not be unique. What you do with the bike after is what will make it unique.

Get some valve caps off a Fazer if you really want to stand out from the crowd Or better yet, get blue headlight fluid instead of the factory yellow. Makes your lights perform much better.

Its baffling to read people getting 45+ avg on fazer here... I am struggling to get even 40..

I'm struggling to get 35+

Maybe its the riding style? Or the way the engine is maintained? No offense meant of course. I get around 40 on my 3 year old FZ-16 and about 45 on highways.

Just 1 year old bike, close to 8k kms, all services done timely and I ride pretty normal. Not a mad rider. Dont know what I could be doing wrong..

now when u sed abt engine oil i noticed.....my engine oil is not at all sticky.....its like that parachute oil.... :P.....may b it is causing engine roughness and harsh sound.... rite? Yamalube is one big time crap yaar......

Guys, from past 1100 kms I am on Shell Delvac 1300 15W40 Pure mineral, Base II oil (260 rs / litre). If anyone amongst you is encountering rough gear shifts and rough engine. This is an exceptional oil. Though priced higher than normal mineral oils.. but worth every penny.
Completely replaces fully synthetic or semi synthetic oils in comfort.
Someone else(@sandeepcf) has also used in it fazer (details on the engine oil thread) and is happy about it. He covered some 2000 km on it.
The engine oil is safe and there is no clutch slippage in my or his bike.
I just cant imagine 20 km on a mineral oil (my bike is so rough) and here I am using this oil from 1100 kms.
When going to buy the oil dont use the word Base II.. it is just to tell you that the oil is not the regular Base I mineral oil and is better refined. It is not a Base III which is major constituent of Shell Advance Ultra 10w40.
Just wanted to share with you all who are investing in FS oils just for comfort. You can read the review of the oil on the engine oil thread. I am so happy with the oil, that I will (hopefully) never put anything else in the bike.
