No no.....i am asking whether they will allow me to change my bike's oil to semi synth at time of free servicing...!!!should i take it to any local mechanic for changing to semi synth??.... i can bring the oil or i can use their...no issue....but i need to change...i feel some sort of engine roughness below 65KMPH.....its clocked 4k kms...!!!

also if you are unaware then there is a MOTUL dealer just near by KAMALA yamaha...!!! he is also very helpful..!!!

Hi,

I understand what you are trying to say. First tell them that what brand and grade of engine oil you want them to put. If they don't have it in stock then can they please organise it for you. If they say that they can't then tell them that I shall bring it along with me since, you guys cannot provide me the same engine oil. Tell them that you are willing to pay for it but if they cannot organise it then you have the right to pick it up and give it to them.

They can charge you for service charge but till your free services are done you are not entitled to pay for the labour charges. Speaking with the head mechanic will help you sort out the issue.I believe if I remember correctly they had earlier refused to let you use oil from outside. But this time if you explain it properly then there should be no problem. They don't loot customers that's why they are becoming bigger and have moved into a bigger SVC workshop and not like chors say for eg. factory shop in goregaon who are shutting down.

Cheers,

Guys, I need some help. Can anyone tell me what would be the price for H1 HID bulb 4300 k with all necessary wiring harness and ballast? I need one for my fz's bixenon projector as the previous bulb went kaput.. So wanna change the whole set. Thanks.

The best ones in the market will be Osram and Philips HID conversion kit with H1 bulb and 4150 Kelvin colout temperature. But they are pricey, at a range of 6000-8000 onwards. They are best one can buy atleast in the Indian market. I presume you were using a cheap chinese make? You can also check out DealExtreme - Cool Gadgets at the Right Price - DX Free Shipping Worldwide and see if there are any HIDs that may fit you budget and also will last good. Not that all chinese brands are bad.Hope This helps.Cheers,

thanks mate for the reply. I couldn't source it anywhere here so just wanted to know the price so that I can order it from India itself. Does Navnish sell these products these days? I tried contacting him but didn't get any reply.
Anyways thanks.

Guys any Suggestion on the Break in process for the new Piston rings set??

I believe Navnish does sell such products but most of his HID kits are from HK. Very robust ballast and HID unit. Unfortunately for some reason even I was unable to continue my correspodence with him as his phone was unavailable and his email responses were not there. I guess he is currently out of the country.

You can also get in touch with Rohit, RnD Motovil who also deals with similar kits. He can be contacted at: +91-8013592296


If you have the budget I would suggest go for either Philips or Osram. They are very reliable and robust kits from well known brands.

Hi

I'm new to this forum. Been a silent member for quiet a long time and is really amazing to see everyone participate so lively about their bikes.

I recently got a second hand FZ-16 2008 model, which had clocked 9500 kms.

Got the servicing done at Thomsun Yamaha Andheri West.

Would like to know if I need to specifically check anything or how should I go about the next service ??

Thank you :]

i hope you have asked for the service manual with all the past servicing records entered in it,though to retain a service manual is not compulsory but it will let you know about the bike's past services and maintenance costs.
i will suggest you to look for factors,which indicate normal condition of the bike.it will be best if you take a test ride of a well maintained fz and compare it with yours.
so the factors for normalcy of the bike are:1.strong initial pickup which continues till 6000 rpm.(if you are not heavy)
2.no misfiring,jerks and no hard gearshifts. 3.no tappet noise(type of sewing machine noise from engine) 4.color of sparkplug should be tan. 5.the engine of fz gets a bit more hot (just a bit) than other 150cc's but if it gets too hot and too early then afr is lean(more air than fuel) if the engine is jerking,misfiring then afr is rich(more fuel than air),no need to worry,get the carburetor adjusted from a reputed mechanic. 6.to check the rear suspension,front suspension,handlebar play,brakes go once through the owner's manual.
hope this helps you to decide the health of your beast/baby/brawler (or in my case,my mule)(no offence)

Step 1: Avoid all other SVCs in Mumbai and go to Kamla Yamaha. They are best in the business.

Step 2: Since, you will hit around 12000 kms in your next service it is wise to replace the stock air filter as per the manual and also the spark plug if the tip is not looking fine. Request them to lubricate all the necessary parts.

Step 3: Ensure that you give her a good treatment of engine oil. If cost is a major concern then Motul 3000V 4T mineral oil is the one to go for. If you want better quality and engine protection, opt for Motul 7100 FS oil 20W 50 or else SS oil Motul 5100. My personal preference has always been Motul 300V FS oil but it is expensive a good 940 bucks INR. With the cost of the oil filter coming down to just 35 bucks INR, I would recommend that you should get it replaced at every service though not mandatory but won't harm your engine or your wallet either. Its like throwing a fresh pair of socks instead of using old ones.

Step 4: Have fun riding her.


Cheers,

Hi Santosh,
Adding to above points & considering this motorcycle to be 3-4 years old & completed just 9500kms:
1. Check with the owner if he has completed the all the services, check the service record.
2. Don't follow the service manual as per kms, you will now need to do the service after 70 days from the previous service. At least try to follow the schedule for first couple of services. If you don't have the service & user manual I can provide you the xerox copy if you need, I stay in Goregaon. As mentioned by Shiv, Kamala Yamaha has service center at Borivali too. If possible go there or at Malad YFS, but YFS will be closed down from 20th Jan temporarily till they find the new place. I myself do not like the service of YFS, had bad experience, but still prefer it, because it's very near to my house,
3. Replace the front break fluid & hose unless you are absolutely sure that it has been replaced recently,
4. Check the break pads if they are worn out completely, check rear break,
5. Fork alignment, get it checked unless you know the rider & condition of the motorcycle well,
6. Replace fork oil & also the seals if required,
8. Steering play & get the cone set well greased. Check if there is no bend in the handle,
9. Check & replace the battery if it has not been replaced recently.
10. Replace the oil & oil filter. I moved to motul FS after 5K, since then using it. No issues.
11. Check the spark plug condition as well as gap & get the carburetor cleaned & tuned properly,
12. Replace the air filter,
13. Check clutch & throttle play, check idling speed,
14. Check the chain tightness & lubricate it regularly. You can use Motul chain lubricant & diesel for cleaning,
15. Check the air pressure in both tires & check for wheel bends if any, if possible replace the tires (you might require to replace it near future),
16. Get the swing arm lubricated,
17. Lubricate clutch & throttle cable,
18. Use System23 from iftex, it will be available at BP petrol pumps or you will find it at Opera house market. I used it once & felt the difference. Need to add 2ml per litre of petrol before refilling. Do not know the chemical composition though. Don't use System G, it is used for 4 wheeler, may have negative effects in the long run,
19. Check tool kit,
20. Check registration papers, insurance & PUC validity. Keep a notarized copy under the seat, no need to carry originals.
It may look exhaustive to you, but better to get it done if you don't have the previous service record.

Confirm the usage..I doubt its 9500 km run bike in the last 4 years.. Check the manufacturing date on tyres. Get carb and air filter cleaned and tuning redone. Check pipes and connections for leakages. Check oil level and condition.. you may also like to have a look at the tire tread and cracks if any.. and you are good to go.

Guys any help??
