  • Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

    Been hearing 'squeky' noise from the rear suspension these days. happens only when I ride with a pillion, the bumps cause the rear suspension to squek a lot.
    What might be the reason ?
    I don't get this noise when I ride alone.

      I think it is time to lubricate/change the swing arm bushes and bearing.

          I changed the swingarm bush & bearings a few days back.
          Cost of both comes to around 240 and add 250 for labour charges (in Mumbai).
          A total harm of 500 for the swing arm

                I want to know that does it will create balancing issue if i only change right side fork seal and oil or i have to change both side oil and seal. And what would be the total cost charged at svc.

                  Ya, it will create imbalance as the old oil will be less viscous than new one and hence there will be different damping in the forks.
                  The cost was Rs. 450 per fork for oil+seal change few months back.

                    Try to change both the fork oil seals. Thats what my machanic did for me. Because old and new oil will sure create imbalance so change them both.

                        Tomorrow went for a short trip to Noida for my Exam total 90km around with my Fz-S . Today I checked the Engine Oil level it was decreased to middle of Maximum and Minimum level. Earlier it was a little upper of Maximum level.
                        Engine oil was changed Recently to Motul 7100 20W50(25days)

                        Is it normal in this Condition...???

                          Have you changed the oil filter? As per mannual oil filter also consumes 200 ml

                              When was engine oil changed? When was oil filter changed? Both have to be changed simultaneously at the same time.

                              Cheerz!!

                                Filter and engine oil was changed in 6th free service... But due to 100 times of telling them they pour the Old yamaha Lube but I neglected has it costed me around 295 and at that time already bought the Motul 7100 20W50

                                But after 10kms I drain out the Engine Oil into bottle from local mechanic and filled the Motul 7100 Engine Oil. The mechanic told me you don't need to change the Oil filter as it is new, so I guess oil is consumed by the Oil filter.
