I have posted this a few pages back. Are you talking about this rubber piece??Originally posted by neer350 View PostA small query...
What is the purpose of that rubber cover near the intake area of air filter cover????
If so then even I've always had the same thoughts.
It seems the only real function that rubber piece has is to hold the pipe coming from inside (from the AIS probably).
Other than that this rubber only serves to create a problem while removing the air-box cover
If you are looking to remove that cover to take out the air-box cover then see the replies below my post in the page I linked.

If you look at the design of the piece, it is actually a "seal"Originally posted by arijitmaniac View PostI have posted this a few pages back. Are you talking about this rubber piece??

Hello ! I am new to this forum and have a few qts, hopefully it would be answered here.
I own a Yamaha Fz 16 which has done around 12000 kms. I wanted to know if the following requires to be changed ?
a. Engine oil and if so which one ? Mineral or Synthetic ??
b. Brake oil. What kms normally do i need to change ?
c. Air Filter ?
d. Lubrication of the Chain ? ( Can it be done by myself rather then giving it to the company every 500kms ) ? If so what do i need to lube it and how ?
I am not very happy with the Yamaha service center here in chennai where i am presently giving the bike for service, I dont know if they really do change the required items above or just top it up. I am completely new to bike ownership and have no clue how they really operate. Is it better to get all these mentioned items above and get them changed in front of your eyes ? Kindly Advice, Thanks again.Comment

Thanks Mik. That makes sense!!Originally posted by Mad Mik View Post
Wouldn't it help the airflow if the space from where the air-box takes in air were more open?
Just asking...

Cheapest jugaad!! buy feviquick for 5 bucks INR get hold of the hanging indicator wriggle it back inside the designated area and apply the Feviquick all over between the edges liberally. Hold the bulb and then blow air evenly across the edges till the glue dries up. And there you have it as good as new.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Almost had a horrendous accident today.a bike hit me directly on the left side.its front tyre hit my pillion,thankfully nothing serious.I was downshifting & immediately put my foot down so that bike doesn't fall.sprained my ankle a bit.but dunno how the gear shift lever bent & twisted downwards.fixed it from a roadside mechie as svc was far and it was hard to ride like that.its far from perfect & gearshifts have become more clunky(noisy) which wasn't there before.
Visiting the SVC tomorrow.what would be the price of the gear lever thing? Do I have to buy the whole set which consists of 3 parts?

hey guys,
i've been modding my fz-s for a while now..i've installed a BMC air filter, but no other performance mods.
i'm thinking of changing the spark plug to this :
NGK Iridium Spark Plug : Yamaha FZ16 - 550.00Rs
i read somewhere that high tension cables should also be installed for actual performance gain..what cable do you recommend? NGK/MSD/Splitfire?
also, what other modifications do you suggest?Comment

The HT cable will give enormous gains if you also installed a bigger bore and forgot about the larger displacement.Originally posted by jamiejako View Post
Sadly the HT cable alone on a basically stock bike won't give you much gains except for a lighter wallet, That may give you more speed and power due to the change in the power to weight ratio.
Save your $ and get some decent mods.
I've done a couple mods to my FZS and haven't touched the plug or cable.2013 Ducati M795 with a few mods in here http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/superbik...95-owners.html

I already bought the spark plug and the splitfire cable ( together cost about Rs.800), I'll survive on the $ dept.Originally posted by Mad Mik View Post
although, i'm not keen on installing a bigger bore..what other mods have you done?Comment

Hi guys, today I rode my friend's Hero Hunk. I felt the engine was so refined and rev friendly compared to my FZ. The engine sound is crisp and bless full.
Have anyone experienced the same?2009 Yamaha FZ-S
