Hi Guys,
I got an used 2010 Model Yamaha FZ16 which have done around 29000 kms. This is the first time i am riding FZ16 model bikes.
Replaced Engine Oil to Motul, Air Filter,Oil Filter,Wheel Bearing front and some cosmatic changes. Fuel signal is always blinking even if the tank is having more than 5 litres.

Actually previous owner has fitted 140/70 Size rear tyre which is looking bit different. Can anyone say whether this will reduce the Engine performance of the bike.
Already i am getting around 48 kms for 100 Rupees Petrol. (1 Litre Petrol Cost is around 76 INR).

The fuel signal has become faulty. You can change it at any service center, and it is quite cheap.

Also, the difference in performance will be marginal due to the fatter tyre.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Hi ,
Thanks for the comments guys. Just now the Previous owner called me for name transfer things. He mentioned that he changed the fuel sensor 3 times before it seems.
In Petrol pumps, while filling the petrol, the force (Pressure) from the nozzels makes the float sensor fail it seems.
But i am not sure about that, because almost many FZ owners who see their Sensors working fine.

So whether this is worth spending on for Fuel sensors.

And also planning for a good paint scheme for my FZ16. Approximately how much will it cost for the entire paint change. Whether we can register these modifications legally and endorse in RC book.

I am having exactly the same issue.Mine is used 2009 model.
Does it ruin the entire display if i leave it this way cause the fuel meter keeps blinking all the time.

It is a common problem amongst Fuel sensors across all FZs/Fazers and there is no solution to it. Follow the simple tankfull to reserve method and once you get the idea of the average consumption you need not be bothered with the fuel meter rather just taking a peak at the trip meter will give you an idea about how much futher you can go..

Cheers,

Thanks shv18
You are great help for fz community.
Thanks for the information regarding air induction system and now about fuel sensor.
If it does no harm then i will leave the sensor this way but the fuel indicator blinks all the time.Is there any way to shut it?

Check for the brake shoe spring. Incase it is faulty or broken, the shoe will rub against rim even if you dont apply the brakes. Also, check for any damage to the exhaust (very rare chance). Under normal usage of rear brake, the rim does heat up. This is normal for all automobiles.

Cheerz!!

Thanks a lot!!! I will check the brake show spring and see if that works.. Also will check the exhaust.

Re: Problem with my yamaha FZ S

Hey guys,

Greetings from Kolkata.
Got my black FZ-16 last Sunday. On road price was 83K.

Congratz on the new bike

The bike won't start in gears unless the clutch is pulled..
if it isn't stating even with the clutch pulled, then its a problem and get it checked..
also follow the run-in process properly..

Thanks for the reply buddy.
Ofcourse, the clutch was pulled before trying to start. So its a problem it seems.

Regarding the run-in process, I was told to keep the rpm between 4-5k in all gears - thats all.
Any other suggestions?

Bike should not have any problem in starting in any gear..

Ya.. You doing it fine.. Just keep varying the rpm.. Don't ride at constant speed.. Keep it varying..
And go for servicing at the right time..

On the clutch lever mounting assembly next to the clutch wire you can see another wire connected to the mount. That is the switch which detects if the clutch is disengaged while starting the engine. Many times this switch is loose. It happened to me too but in my case the engine used to start in gear when the clutch was released. Try posting that switch into the mount properly and then check. If you still have problems then most likely the switch is faulty. Take it to the SVC.

And yes your run in is fine. As mentioned by fellow riders, make sure you vary your speed.

It is not recommended. As per other fellow members who have used, it isnt worth using. Also, if you install aftermarket Air Filter, your warranty will be voided.

I will get it checked in the Yamaha Svc, but that will take some time. Just tell me one thing though, if the switch is unable to detect if the clutch is engaged or not, is it, anyway, going to harm the engine and/or the gearbox?

In your case, No.
Your bike is not starting even after the clutch is disengaged. This means that the switch is preventing an engine-start. Engine damage may occur only when the switch allows the engine to start when the clutch is released. This will give a massive jerk to the bike as the engine is "connected" to the wheel. This causes massive stress on the drivetrain (gearbox, chain etc) and doing this frequently will definitely damage the engine and drivetrain.

This is what was happening in my case.

Hope that helps

Cheers!!
