This is not definite.. The blinking can start anytime with low fuel.. The quantity or how much it wil run is not same everytime..
The bars are just to make things a bit easier.. But its not accurate..
my bike usually runs 40-50kms before hitting reserve..

I agree with you buddy. ....I had this similar incident of hitting reserve between 20 to 21 kms before hitting actual reserve.

I hate quotes. .....

Ya.. You right.. It won't matter much..

also, you should try 300v.. I filled you a couple of days back.. Engine seems to be loving it till now.. Engine feels way less stressed..
I would have used it earlier, but it wasn't available here..

300V has got real good response from many bikers. At present i am looking for Shell oil. But, haven't been able to find it.

Cheerz!!

Hello People,
Any idea about "YAMALUBE ADDRIVE OIL" ? The svc guys told me that its a ADDITIVE oil used with regular YAMALUBE engine oil. I have been billed for Rs 135/- for it . The bike has a one ltr oil sump and i was wondering how could they add additive oil along with one ltr of engine oil! I asked svc about it and they said its added in proportion but i was billed for whole one ltr of oil and the additive oil both

But engine seems to be running smoother and the heat from the engine is relatively lower! Do share your experience if you have used it and if its really worth and they are doing this with all bikes in my svc center.

14500 kms on my odo n i was billed 3k for this service

Was asked to change the chain and sprockets. Please let me know if everything mentioned below in the bill was necessary.

Not sure what Addrive oil is. Hearing it for the first time. Also, incase any additive is mixed in the oil, the requirement is in ML and not Ltr. If you have been charged for the whole pack, take back the balance from SVC. Post a pic of Addrive here.

Addrive oil is additive oil indeed. I inquired about it with svc people and they said it was additive oil. Even i felt that there is no way they can add a liter of additive oil, the oil sump itself is 1000ml.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

[MENTION=60146]sachin_v[/MENTION] - in 135 rs. you won't get more than 500 ml of the cheapest oil on market. they have put 1L by mistake.it would be 200/300 ml of some additive.
don't worry too much about it.

Thats one serious bill with cancerous english

Looks good to me.. But why did you changed to 'pork' spring also ? Was it damaged..?
And was the sprocket set this much costly ? I remember changing it for 1200₹ something a year back.. Maybe i don't remember correctly..

Like I said a few pages back, the conditions were pathetic; the PORK oil needed to be changed and yea, unfortunately the sprocket prices have gone up.

Damages to my salary....

Yar

mine is to be changed in a couple of thousand kms.. Gonna kill my pocket money and some more..
Good that you changed most parts.. The bike should feel good now..

One thing, when the fork oil was drained, was it of dark colour.. Like dark grey..?

I wouldn't say grey for the oil exactly but it was considerably dark.

Misfire or popping sound is nothing but unburnt fuel escaping from the exhaust port and then coming in contact with ambient air. When this happens, the fuel re-ignites causing the phenomenon. Well one should ideally check the spark plug and see if the readings are showing lean tuning. If that's the case then it is dangerous for the bike in the long run. Enough has already been discussed on this thread regarding tuning and spark plug reading, going to earlier pages will help. One has to make changes with the tuning or reject the carburettor to compensate for the lean tuning if that's the case.

To get rid of the popping sound, you may disconnect the AIS pipe (Air Induction System) which feeds additional air to the exhaust port in order to reduce pollution and burn unwanted fuel.

I am not aware of the environmental norms in Nepal so i cannot comment about the carbon emission norms. But if one requires a PUC or pollution control certificate for the vehicle to be eligible on the roads and periodic checkings are done by traffic police.. chances are your bike will most likely fail the PUC test.

Hope this helps,

Cheers

Thanks...
I learned to tune carburator and kept rich setup just for test but still bike is misfiring.So i think i should do something on the silencer.Recently service center called me and said if i want a catcon from another bike whose muffler broke because of accident.Will go to them after few days.Lets see what will happen after doing the job.

Again mate you are making the same mistake. Popping sound has nothing to do with the AFR being rich or lean form the carburettor. The popping sound happens because the AIR Induction System or AIS pumps in fresh air inside the exhaust vent to burn off any fuel which has escaped from the combustion chamber. When the fuel comes in contact with ambient temperature, it re-ignites causing the popping sound. You must be witnessing the popping sound when you shut off the throttle am i correct?

Yes you can get the cat con installed from a damaged exhaust. All they will do is saw off your existing exhaust and then weld the cat con piece in between. Make sure to check for leaks once the welding is complete or else you will start losing performance and power. With the cat - con being installed you will immediately notice increase in the mid range and the top end dropping drastically on your bike.

Cheers,

If you find a good local mechanic it is a blessing in disguise. Else, they tend to make the bike a big pain for us.
