Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Hello,
Done 800 kms on the new MRF REVZ-M and reviewing it as requested by a fellow xbhpian

. As mentioned in my previous post about changes in this tyre from the stock REVZ, this one seems to provide the solutions for problems faced on the stock one. Loving my experience with it currently. The bikes returning 2-3 kms of mileage more than before

and also felt a slight rise in rear height. The only thing with this tyre is that it isn't that grippy as the stock flat one, but it isn't that bad either. Meanwhile riding on this new tyre feels like there is less burden on the engine, feels a bit pacier than before.
Hope this experience continues and feel that MRF has done its bit to rectify the flaws in the stock REVZ one.

Hope this helps the fellow fz/fazer riders, as the rear tyre issue is the most bothering thing for us

. REVZ-M is not a bad option at all ! Being 140/60 its a perfect fit and no fuss such as handling issues and all.

Happy Riding!

If you are unable to find cheaper options then go to Orion motors opposite forum mall. They have the lock. Ask for disc lock. But it's fairly expensive there. INR 450 last time I saw a year ago.

There are simple disc locks available in the market for rs. 150-200 (also on ebay, snapdeal etc )

Best to stay away from these. They can be broken easily and in worst case scenario when theft fails while trying to break the disc lock, disc rotors get damaged.
As suggested by a fellow member above, OP can walk to Orion Motors Koramangala and get himself the cheapest yet decent lock (not 100% safe) for 500 odd rupees.

Thanks bro... guess i will get it replaced during my next servicing that is coming up soon.

cheers

Thanks bro..
ODO reading is 30k and wheel is at the extreme setting. I will get the chain replaced in the next servicing which is soon..in 10 days..

WoW 30K. The chain and the sprocket set has done an excellent job. Please change the full set (i.e) chain, small sprocket and the larger sprocket.

Cheers,

Fantastic buddy running an open chain for 30000kms is quite commendable, when you change the chain set make sure to clean the front sprocket area thoroughly with petrol or kerosene and afterward you can fix front sprocket, take care of the new chain properly ,and it may serve you more than your current chain set.

Is changing the small sprocket necessary? frankly the rear sprocket is also in good shape. But I have heard that the chain and sprocket has to be purchased as a set. Does the set also include the front sprocket?

Thanks man..
If the area around it is cleaned thoroughly, even then does the front sprocket need replacement?

On a different note-
Any options that I have for a different sprocket? Effect of acceleration, power and top speed?
My understanding is that higher number of teeth will better the torque and acceleration but will result in a lower top speed.

It is highly advisable that you replace the sprockets. Nevertheless, it did its part. And yea, everything's a set.
Though your understanding is correct, it would be wise to keep things stock unless your preference is otherwise. While the initial acceleration may seem lucrative, it becomes equally frustrating to remain restricted on straight highways. FZ is already short on juice.

Changing the size of the sprockets modifies the final drive ratio, a lower gear ratio will enhance your bike 's bottom end power,while higher gear ratios will give you more top end power, remember lower of shorter gears are numerically higher, and higher gears are numerically lower, you should change both of the front and rear sprockets with chain as a set, fixing new chain on worn or on older sprockets will eat up your new chain very quickly.

Agree with you on the "short on juice" part... and yes the complete set will be replaced soon.. BTW does Yamaha SVC have any sprocket options apart from the racing kit and the stock one?

Point Noted.
This is new information to me. Thanks

so it is the complete set with thorough cleaning. I will get that done. Do i need to specifically request the Yamaha SVC guys to clean the front sprocket area? or they do it as a routing for the chain sprocket changing? Also any info on sprocket options is welcome.

No other options except Daytona kit and stock one. Daytona is whoppingly costly.

SVC guys generally clean the sprocket area and other things before fitting the new chain sprocket kit. Just to be sure, tell them to clean the dirt before putting the new chain and sptocket.

Cheerz!!

These Daytona kits are hugely expensive and are more for track oriented performance, i don't think it's advisable to get these kits, a normal road user won't achieve that much from these performance parts. Actually they should install newer part after cleaning the area, but most of the times i have seen they don't care, there main job is to just replace the part and take money from you. So pls be very alert and don't hesitate in raising your voice if he dosen't listen to you.

I think most of your queries are answered. I have a doubt by any chance did you change only the chain (or) sprockets before?
