Thank you
I live in sri lanka so the authorized dealer says that they haven't seat covers :-(
Can i buy them online?

I am just thinking about writing a strongly worded email to Yamaha customer care, just have to figure to out what documents to be attached with the email. I really dont want to go to a SVC and return back without getting the issue fixed anymore

Installed projectors...

Hi everybody..I installed 2 35w projectors on my ride.But is it safe to switch to both beams on low beam and keep them running below 4000rpm? Is it going to affect the longevity of the stock 5 Amp battery or the electrical circuit? I had been using HID on dual beam for both low and high beams,didn't have any problems.But my friend who fitted the Projector setup simply refused to put dual beam setup,saying that it will be too much load for the battery. Missing the intensity of the HIDs with only one projector on low beam. currently the setup is similar to R15...one beam on low,two on high.Kindly suggest!

You will need stator coil mod to run both HIDs on high beams as the stock output from the alternator is not enough to take the load of both HIDs. I believe R&D Motovil provides stator coil mods for higher power output although i cannot comment about the reliability of the same.

Cheers,

THanks for the correction Mik..

guys anybdy frm mumbai??? who knows where can i wax or polish my bike??....can it be done in any garage???....or is it DIY?? no idea......plz help...

Re: Yamaha FZ-16

Its is a complete diy if you have interest bro :thumbup:

Wash your bike first n dry the parts where you want to polish.
Buy a wax polish (rs 85) . Put in on a soft cloth n apply it on the parts evenly.
When you apply on the painted surface, let it become dry (til it looks like as if yout paint has faded )
After that wipe the surfaces with a soft cloth.

N there you are!!!

A brand new bike
I do it once a week

Sorry mate, but it is. At 5,000 rpm, this alternator delivers 125 watts under 14 Volts. Even with ignition + brake light+ rear light+ flashers, etc....there is still plenty.
Then, of course, if one idles all the time at 2 to 3 k rpm, with twin HIDs on, he will drain his battery in no time, as this will easily be the case in city riding, but if riding on the road at never less than 5 k rpm, one can just keep going as long as he wishes with both lights on....and it makes a hell of a lot of difference. One single light (I tried hiding one), is absolutely miserable compared to the wide, bright lighting that two give, whether on high or low beam.

I have got this setup on my Fazer, and only once got problems: this was after having left my bike for a month as I was overseas, and taking it out for a city night ride, keeping (stupidly!) my headlights on while stopped at traffic lights or in congested traffic. Then, my lights started flickering as the voltage had dropped and was insufficient to ignite the HID lights. Such flickering is extremely damageable to these lights. I then just switched them off (the angel eyes being far enough in the brightly illuminated city), and rode in rather high revs for some five minutes....and that was it: the battery had been charged up and was back with it's nominal voltage, I could have my (both) HIDs on when bright light was needed, and no more flickering. On the highway back home it got even more charge.

Since that, I simply switch off my headlights when stopped at traffic lights or other reasons, and balance my night and day rides to keep the battery at 12 volts ... and that flickering has never happened to me again.

Thanks for the replies. Will the fazer dual horn sound good?? Is the Pulsar 220 horn directly compatible??What about air horns??

Rear brake gone kaput

Guys, just did my servicing of the bike and informed the technician to check my rear brakes, as the efficiency of the brake was not upto the mark.

on checking the spring tension, he said the liners have gone. I was like "how come so early??" To which he said "liners to 1000, 2000 kabhi b chala jata hai, ap kaise chalate ho uspe hai sab".

My bike has done 5840kms (bought it in Feb - 12).

Can the liner go kaput so early??

As per the feedback from my set of Fazer riders with 35 watt and 55 watt HIDs on both lamps have had battery and flickering issues within 2 months from using both HIDs. This becomes more apparent if one uses 55 watt HIDs on Fazers. Not sure about your case though. Thus the ideal recommendation to get rid of this problem is higher wattage output from the stator coil mod.

All the riding was done in city premises majority of which was stop and go traffic.



Cheers,

yes the fazer's dual horns sound give out a decent but loud tone,enough for the traffic conditions in our city.i am using them for over an year now.and don't go for any air horns as they will kill the battery.
don't know about the pulsar's.

Hi,

Most likely you had kept your foot on the rear brake pedal/lever which kept the brake engaged lightly throughout the 5.4k of ownership of your ride. So it is possible for the brake pads to wear out. It is a common rookie mistake i have seen been followed or done by a lot of riders unknowingly. I presume you have replaced the brake pads with fresh ones. Ensure that you get the lever adjusted according to you preference and consciously make an effort not to put your foot on the brake pedal and rest on it.

Cheers,

thank buddy...will do that

You are also from Bhopal.. Where did you get it done..??
