Every time I switch off the engine with the engine kill switch and not with the ignition.

Well, that is the purpose the switch exists for. There might be a loose contact inside the switch for some bikes and you are supposed to get a replacement for it from Yamaha. Warranty Power. Go, get it.

The switch is meant for using at signals, so that you don't have to turn the ignition off with the key everytime&the battery also stays on if you need to honk/use the indicators. Use it for what its meant, I'm using it since 5 years on my Fiero F2&no problems with the fuse yet!

When i asked abt the SVC guy if i can use it for the reasons you mentioned..he shaked his head vigourously and said 'sir,use it only during emergency and avoid using it unnecessarily' ..

Just saying what d SVC guys told me..

well.........is the gearshifting supposed to be completely noiseless......i do whatever the manual says......upshift at 4-4.5k.....downshift at 3k and below.....but still the upshifts are fine.......the downshifts make a "tak-tak" noise

.......should i get this checked at the SVC or is it normal for downshifts????

It is not a choke, that has to be used once in a while...it is meant so that we don't use the ignition every now&then!

There is an optional crash guard available for the FZ. Get it asap! I wish there were crash bobbins available for the R15, I would have got it the day I got the bike&saved Rs.1200 (billet clutch lever accessory-Rs.1100+Rs.65-footpeg) when my bike slipped&fell in my own building parking!

**Mindgrinder** · 08-21-2009, 01:54 PM

damn no crash bobbins for FZ, only ugly looking guards, but i am disappointed with built quality!
