Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S
Give for a full service and replace chain and battery. Go for a maintenance free battery from Amaron or Exide. The fuel knob screws should be tightened,or if problem is not solved,replace it.

> Battery problems !!
My Fazer is 4 year old Fazer is having starting troubles every winter morning . Even if I ride bike quite a lot the previous day , I don't think the battery is holding charge and the next day it won't start , the biggest problem is that old Fazers don't have kick start
.
I push start the bike ( and it starts within 1 or 2 attempts ) . The battery gets charged on the run and I don't have any problems for the rest of the day but once I park my bike at night and return back the next morning , it just wouldn't start .
The battery is the one which came with Fazer 4 years back . And I have never checked the battery water levels , though once I did get the battery charged at SVC for about 4-5 hours or so but I don't think they did anything about the battery water .
So guys , should I change the battery or just check the water levels . In case of buying a new battery , which one is the best and prices ?
> Chain sound and rust !!
The chain got rusted during the last monsoons ( about 6 months ) , this hadn't happened in the previous years . I believe the bike is running under lots of friction , the chain makes "chik" sound when I leave the throttle after reaching 50 or 60 Km/hr . What's the reason for this sound ? Is it due to chain slack or time to change the chain , it is 4 years old but has been used for less than 9k Km .
> Oil/petrol leakage from the fuel knob
I sometimes see oil spots on the engine and the source seems to be the drops from fuel knob , the knob also has oil and dust sticking to it . Some solutions please .
Off topic : Why I am I seeing a pic of a guy with helmet on and showing victory sign on the left as my profile picture . I am also seeing this picture on posts made by others .

even while starting on cold engine, just try & hold the starter key bit too long and slowly crank the engine (don't give more throttle in idle speed, which may affect the engine badly
). if you are using twin lamp, it will rip off the battery hence its life will get reduced. I switch both lights on in my r15, it doesn't affect the battery to greater extend and cold engine is lighting fast to start as with the advantage of having ECU. 
But its always safe to lube and adjust the chain@ every 500kms or even lesser:thumbup:
