Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S
called bro just now.. they said since our engine oil is compatible with our bikes.. using other brand oils lile motul will void your warranty.. they said it is totally your call.. we are not saying that motul is bad.. but your warranty will be gone.. i said many people are facing issues with yamalube and i think it is not compatible.. they said like we said it is your call.. you can use motul.. but anything happens to the engine.. your warranty will be goneOriginally posted by S3maphor3 View PostLeave a comment:

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S
got a reply from yamaha customer care - "We thank you for your query. This is to inform you that you are requested to contact the nearest Authorised Yamaha Service Centre for details regarding technical specifications for the vehicle."Originally posted by S3maphor3 View Post
Their customer care is actually non existent .. they have only 2 solutions .. 1. go to svc 2. show to engineer .. man I couldn't believe such a reply for my query .. it should have been either yes or no .. they just copy pasted a replyLeave a comment:

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S
no i have not seen in the book that oil should be bought from svc.. but 2 things make me wonder.. 1. i have noticed yamaha has pulled their yamalube products from the market.. so i dont think their oil is available outside the svc 2. they have mentioned in the manual that recommend brand for engine oil is yamalubeOriginally posted by S3maphor3 View PostLeave a comment:

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S
You can obtain email approval from Yamaha customer care if u so want.Originally posted by vanp View Post
But if dealer is educated enough and not hell bent on extracting every last ₹ out of your pocket that he can , you won't face any inconvenience whatsoever.
Warranty booklet no where says you have to buy oil from ASC only as far as I have seen it.Leave a comment:

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S
hahaha.. you have teased the motul to me big time.. i am getting swayed towards switching to it..Originally posted by S3maphor3 View Post
even if the svc people don't check which oil we are using.. but if any day we get an issue.. and go for warranty claim..and if they check our service history.. they'll know we never bought oil from them and surely they'll void our damn warranty.. but somewhere i think keeping warranty and using their shitty oil is not worth itLeave a comment:

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S
reply.. more questions:-
1. at what odo did you switch to fs?
100kms post purchase. Changed to motul 7100 10w40. And I ripped it all way to 100kmph. Before switching to FS. I am getting 50+ mileage.
2. did you first use mineral then ss and then fs or just moved directly from mineral to fs?
I switched to FS by draining factory oil.
3. do you do your services at the authorized svc?
Yes. At least till completion of free services.
4. if yes, do they allow using other brand oil?
Yes of same grade 10w40.
5. did you email yamaha to take permission to use other brand oil so as to retain your warranty?
Warranty is void of you change oil grade. For that too only if u tell them that. By looking at drained oil no one can tell brand or grade. Unless some sort of forensic investigation is done.
Which won't happen unless u get swayed away by smoothness of bike and break some law or commit some heinous crime .[emoji3]Leave a comment:

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S
But personally i dont like the design of V3 altough it has got new features like ABS, Single seat, New head lamp unit the overall design is missing that FZ characterstic . I feel the new FZ 25 looks more muscular & Clean[emoji106].Originally posted by #bpk View PostLeave a comment:
