hmmmm

Nopes bro.......i looked at other fz's but there is no change.........even i heard about it but the sales guy there had no idea about it........also i paid 500 bucks for the leg guard which I think is a standard fit ment and not an accessory as told by the sales guy there....

oh ok ... I guess you have to ask them for it ... because when i went they said it's being done for only the newer bikes and spares hadn't arrived for the older ones ...


enjoy the ride ...

hmmmmmmm

enjoying it a lot yaar..............its just that some niggles do exist.......

@to all delhi fz owners
can a G2G be planned so that we can get to know each other and plan some weekend trips?? would be great to meet you all........

@admin
sorry if i posted this in wrong section......kindly take suitable action if required........

can any one post the picture of fz's latest leg guard and rear mudguard...so that we can have an good look at it..

take a look at my rossi repica helmet in helmets thread

I saw the FZ mudguard being fitted to some of the bikes when I went for my service on Saturday. It is almost the same length, just a bit thicker on the sides. Was wondering how it would help in the rains.
I think they are fitting it free, but I didn't ask them. They had a stock of about 100-200 mudguards though.

Are there any problems with Fz self start

I am planning to buy a fz in a couple of days. As there is no kick start in bike, do you guys have faced problems with self start anytime especially during winter

Logged 100

Here's my 100 km report what I liked what I don't and all the stuff........

(all compared to my CBZ Star)

likes:
Smooth and Refined engine
love the muffled revs of it
handling is a step up from my CBZ
looks are drooling
self start is improving with kms
LCD Digital display
mirrors are really good
compact dimensions a boon in city riding
headlight spread is good
switchgear quality and buttons excellent
engine kill switch
flasher
vibe free

Dislikes
I would like to ask Yamaha that is a leg guard a fashion statement kind of accessory or a standard fitment for safety??
And Why this horn which is embarrassing for me on such a good machine??

FE seems to be gud rite now but would surely report it...

overall enjoying every bit of it and as suggested by my friends here once I take it above 4.5 k while rest its 4k for me and I vary speed too.....
rest a small question its a really small one as I am confused whether to switch the bike off via key or engine kill switch?? any help........

Castrol Power1 on FZ 16

Hi Guys,

Is Castrol Power 1 an ideal engine oil for the FZ 16. I recently replaced my engine oil (yamalube) with Power1. Seems to be working fine. It has a viscosity rating of 10W - 30. I think it is a bit less for our road conditions and temperatures. Most of the times, we top-up/refill with an oil of rating 20W-40.

Any one had bad experiences with this oil? Please share them.

Castrol Activ 4T seems to be ideally suited with respect to the rating.

Comments welcome.

Many Thanks,
-Asim

FZ 16 mudguard pics please

Please share the pics..... (if any)

FZ's top speed??

Hey did anyone check the top speed for FZ??
In my case it once went till 120 kph but that's the top speed it clicked.

Went to the SC today guys....enquired about the mudguard....they said
it was being fitted for free to any FZ if asked to....
But believe me you dont wanna get it done...coz it looks so ugly and in
reality it is of no use....its just a LITTLE broader than our original...
Here's the surprising part its not actually a mudguard but a small piece
of fibre moulded to fit to our EXISTING mudguard...they drill four holes
on the mudguard and fit it....but the mud splashes anyway....
didnt get to take a pic coz my mobile doesnt have a Cam....
Wonder why Yamaha bothered for that at all....
Worthless...coz in the end it doesnt serve its own purpose...

A leg guard helps in times of crashes by saving your legs and the side
if the bike you fall on....mainly the tank...

And you can switch off the bike anyway..doesnt matter really...i usually
use the kill switch during long waits for signal...it saves the hassle of ON and OFF the battery everytime....

Castrol Power 1 is a good one but IMO is not worth the price it commands..
You should have gone with the Yamalube semi-synthetic....it serves the
purpose really well...its rating is also better than what is recommended...

I cant say about the winters but until now i had No issue with the self
starter buddy....My bike stands for hours in the torrential pour and it gets
a bit cold you know...Yet it Roars back to life with the slightest first touch
to the self start

Hmmmmmmmmm

Thanks for your reply to my query, what i meant to say was why is yamaha not offering it as a standard accessory on FZ as I had to shell out 500 bucks for my safety?? Anyways hope they address this issue soon for the new owners.........

Ways of earning extra money! The Honda guys even charge extra for the number plates!

Now that's too much!
