Yes paper filters are better in functionality but that boils down to personal/individual experience. Like I said, cleaning isn't much of an issue and it's doing its job pretty well. So no complaints. It should cost you ~1800-2000/- INR. I have no clue about its availability in Pune. You need to venture out, mate!

Re: Performance upgrade ideas for FZ16

Hi all....
I am thinking of doing some cosmetic mod to my Fazer (black-green).
I want to make the bike complete black using carbon fiber stickers on green panels and paint the rims orange(Honda repsol type).
Any more suggestions from you guys and from where i can get the job done in delhi with good quality? Also the budget if anyone did this kind of paint job?

Thanks in advance...

The stickering job would only look good for sometime and then the edges would start coming out..
i am assuming you have sufficient budget, so my ideas go as follows..
if you want a black look, you can buy new body panels and replace them.. I has enquired about the same and the whole body panels would cost you something like ₹4-5k.. But since yours is black-green already, you would only need to replace a few green panels with black and that would not cost you much..
And as for rim paint, no idea from where you could get it done.. Try asking in Delhi offline thread..
also you can try installing projectors.. Have seen a Fazer with projectors and rest black and it was looking sexy..
and try removing the saree guard and the chain cover.. The gap between the wheel and body looks even bigger and nice.. I have also removed these two..

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

The right rod of the front suspension is leaking oil through the seals.. Saw it today only.. The whole seal was covered with oil..
So when changing the seals, fork oil also has to be changed in both sides. ???
Also does anybody know the cost of changing seals and oil ?

Change the fork oil and seal together. It is a good practice. I would suggest, change oil and seal of both the rods. No clue about the cost.

Cheerz!!

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Guys after that minor accident last week, I changed the brake lever and checked the pads it was about to wear out. So changed them and bleeded the brakes, now they have become really spongy . The mechanic bled them thrice but still it is spongy, what could be the problem? The mechanic told the entire brake assembly is to taken apart and serviced, he said only one of the two pistons is pushing the pads and the other is idle. Could this be fixed without taking the brake assembly apart?

Check the brake oil level. There is a possibility that it might be low. If not, the assembly has to removed.

Are there three pistons? From what i know, there should be only two pistons and not three (maybe wrong).

The brake oil was replaced almost thrice the same day but still no use. There are 2 pistons only what the mechanic said was only one of the piston is pushing the pads.
He told if I can bring the bike today he would disassemble the brakes clean the calipers and try replacing the oil once again.

Make sure you check the fork tube for any scratches or scruffs. These scratches will soon tear the new oil seal on the fork necessitating a replacement again in a short time.

Okay, so after a a lot of tightening loosening experimemt, I got my cone set replaced. Cost only 225 bucks. The '"tak" sound is gone now, although slight vibration/wobble still persists. The mechanic informed its a regular problem with FZs, because of the cone set design(something to do with a rubber washer.) I don't know how much he is correct. Neither the SVC nor the mechanic had the torque wrench, so it was tightend according to feel.

For the misfires, he advised me to add a bit of mobil into the fuel from time to time. He was against opening and cleaning the carb, citing that the longer the carb remains untouched, the better. I also have a feeling that the misfires could be rainwater going in the tank, so maybe waiting is a good option. Should I add the mobil as he advised?

I believe the suggestion itself from your mechanic tells you about his level of low standard knowledge on 4 strokes. In 2 stroke motors you mix 2T oil along with fuel for lubricating the engine internals when in operation. YOU DONOT MIX ENGINE OIL WITH FUEL in 4 stroke motors unless you want to ruin your bike's engine!!

Also most mechanic are adverse to open and clean up a carburettor because they have no clue how to put it back together and tune the carburettor properly. It is an absolute nonsense they try and feed you. Don't believe any such crap ever!!

Mosfires may persist if:

* Spark Plug is foul
* The ignition timing is not precise
* cam chain has not been adjusted properly
* Fuel quality is sub standard from wherever you are filling fuel from.
* Air Induction syste, is dirty

Try changing your fuel filling bunk and see if the misfiring goes off.
