As per discussion earlier meet with an accident on 31st December after that bike was given to Yamaha service center and after a week Bike was fully restored not much damage .As changes and replacement done

1. Speedo Meter Changed
2. New handle
3. Fork Alignment
4. Disc Pad
5. Labour Work ... etc
and last
6. 5th Free service

Billing was made around 5,200.
Now the question Arises Is it due to accident that clutch wire was Little bit broken that service Center guy didn't pay attention to it or is just any other reason.
Clutch wire was changed through a local mechanic shop as they charged me around Rs.130 (Including Labour) Should I have to changed the clutch wire again from service center or just leave it.

Clutch wire snapping can be caused due to multiple factors, maybe the clutch wire was tightened too much, or proper greasing was not applied at the clutch level area, or the clutch wire channeling along the chassis might have been improper causing extra tension on the wires, or it could have as well been defective.

Nonetheless, if you have changed the wire with a genuine Yamaha spare, then no need to go to the svc again, it should be fine. Still if you have doubts if the person has not installed it correctly, then do get it checked.

Yes As I notice when the clutch wire was broken near the clutch lever and greasing was gone.... But As you told me, I will visit SVC for proper Inspection of Clutch wire because I don't trust Local Mechanic work. Also Local Mechanic adjust the clutch lever to loose but I adjusted to medium setting according to my riding condition.

Yamaha Fz-s Engines Sound Changed

One Month Old Yamaha Fz-s (350 km) engine started making a different sound..so i gave it for service immediately....the bike has been serviced but the sound remains same...my max speed was 55-60 at 5th gear and rpm at 4-4.5 please help.....the sound is more like stressing the bike at high rpm... but here the sound starts from 3-4.5 . i have not went over that..

Re: Yamaha Fz-s Engines Sound Changed

Help Topic Approved.

Bad sound could mean something wrong with Air filter setup. Check that. Is there any visible crack on the exhaust?
Try finding out where the excessive sound comes from. Try to find out whether its metal clanging physical sound, or combustion sound.

If you could get a video of the running/ idling bike uploaded to youtube and link it here, that would be better. We may spot your problem much more accurately by seeing the video.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Last week, I went on a trip on my FZ16 (4 months old, 2 services done, 2100 kms done).
The bike just stopped pulling on an upward slope. It wouldn't pull even in first gear!
My friend was riding and I was in the pillion seat. When I got down, it started pulling fine.
We stopped for about 10 mins and then started, it was much better.

What could be the issue?
We were riding continuously for an hour before that, could that be an issue?

Not quite sure what happened, but was very embarassing

Other bikes were so easily moving up.

It could be because of extremly hot engine.
It happened to me too.
Mine started puffing white smoke but when stoped for around half hour and things went fine.

Well, it is normal for FZ to run out of breath when climing uphill. Even without pillion, you have to downshift to gain power and move ahead. Witj pillion, it happens on normal road also. Continuously riding has got nothing to do with this.

Check the spark plug condition to see whether you are running on lean AFR or not.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Problem

just now, the service light came up (red one one the speedo *blinking*) and the speedo went dead, couldn't self-start the bike

used the kick and it came back. But when I switch off the bike, its the same, had to kick start the bike everytime.
Is the battery dead ?? Without any prior warning or weakness.

Its over 2 years now for this battery.

has any local mechanic fiddled with the carburettor for "better mileage tuning" ? If yes then you have just found the answer for your query. your bike has been lean tuned or in other wodrs very less fuel is being sent to the engine in comparison to air. As a result it is overheating and you witnessed engine losing all power till it was allowed to cool down. would suggest that you do visit to an SVC ask them to do the carburettor tuning based on CO meter reading.

There is a plethora of information on this thread's old posts some hard work of looking around will give you all the answers that you are looking for...

Check the battery terminals and see if they are clean or have greenish deposits. clean them and then try and start the bike. if it still doesnt start, throw the old battery and opt for MF Amaron battery 5 ampere rating. Should solve all your problems for good.

Agree, was fine after some rest, so could be a case of hot engine.

Yes, running out of breath happens, but downshifting works.
Normally, such uphills can be climbed effortlessly in the 2nd or 3rd gear. But, this time it was quite different. The bike was not moving even in the first gear!
Still feel it had something to do with continuous riding.

And yes, I'll check for lean AFR. Any quick instructions for this?

Never had any local mechanic touch the bike. The SVC guys might have tuned it. Anyway, will check with SVC during my next service that is due in two weeks.
Let me also go through old posts as you suggested.

Thanks

Hope that you haven't put anything under the seat that might obstruct the suction port. Continuous riding will not make the bike go kaput

(personal experience). The only issue can be low oil, lean AFR, this will make the bike hot easily. If the spark plug tip is choclate brown, the AFR is perfect. If it is on the whiter side, AFR is lean.

Cheerz!!
