    [MENTION=47870]devils_friend[/MENTION].. Check the cables (accelerator cable and other cables). The rubber outer layer might be torn and the inner metallic part is rubbing with the steering and making the noise. Might be one possibility.
    Ride safe and have fun.

It isn't noise, rather it is something like a jammed hinged door and you try to move it. The noise (trrr trrr) that comes while doing so is similar to what i can make out.

      Regarding jerks, yes i do feel them even passing over a small stone, same is with rear suspension. Not able to figure out the issue with suspension setup :banghead:

      Cheerz!!
      First check all the cables near steering pipe see nothing is touching to the handle, although i believe the noise is coming from race bearing set, get the set changed and your problem should get solved.

        Hi guys,

        Got the bike serviced from the mechanic with the modded air filter. The cost of air filter 180, the guy did a pretty decent job better than most of the SVCs.
        The problem I had with the misalligned fork and the incorrect handle bar height was resolved. This was never checked by SVC.
        Now coming to the air filter , there is no difference in engine sound its stock . A very minimal increase in pickup may be even negligent. Couple of things i noticed is the air filter is sucking much more than the stock filter and the ride also became really smooth even on higher revs not sure its because of the filter or motul SS oil used. Didnt change the clutch plates since I am on budget. Tried to check the top end , the bike was able to do 107 only earlier it was able to do 117 but with struggle. I assume that the drop in topend could be due to any of these the airfitler , the worn out front tyres, clutch plates and if there any thing else please add on.
        The total cost of the service was 940 rs labor 340. The engine oil and oil filter 400rs.

          Found the culprit, two wires were rubbing on a metal link.

              Told ya
              We shouldn't always assume the worst case. Sometimes the problem is really minor, but we overlook it by assuming there might be some big problem.
              Ride safe and have fun.

                The drop in top-end might be due to a leaner AFR. Since the air filter is allowing more air in now, the mixture might have become lean.
                Its advised to check the spark-plug and if found to be lean then get the carb tuned.

                Cheers!!

                  Will check AFR, could the low fuel also be the cause.

                    If by low fuel you mean quantity of fuel in the tank, then no. The carb will only allow a certain amount of fuel in depending on the current throttle position regardless of the amount of fuel left. This will happen all the way till the fuel runs out.

                      Yes I meant the quantity of fuel. Any DIY guide tune AFR available?

                        You can check out this.
                        Tuning Yamaha FZ 16 Carburetor

                        The way its described here, it seems like a simple procedure. But there are risks associated with it. You will have to take that risk.
                        So it's better if you check your spark plug first. Go about tuning the carb only if the spark plug shows that the AFR might be lean.

                          Re: FZ16 front suspension issues and handle vibration.

                          Hi Guys... I complained to Yamaha about the worst service in Orion Motors and the company responded and asked me to take the vehicle to Orion Motors and this time when I went there things were totally different. A warm welcome and a technician named Madhu checked the bike thoroughly and he assured to fix it. After two days I was told that bike is ready. I went and checked the bike and it was simply WOW!. The vibration has gone.

                          Thanks to admin for letting me know about the coneset. That was the issue and bike thoroughly serviced and cleaned and I had to pay only Rs.375!.

                          Moral of the story: Sometimes you need to escalate things!

                            It is the filter, mate! With only an aftermarket filter, top end is lost while the throttle response and low end is slightly increased. Expert-speak - Use it in conjunction with a FFE to maintain the right AFR. The leaner AFR might give you a convincing mileage per say. And yea, trust me you'll never be able to reach the previous top speed until you tune the mixture to the right settings; not to mention the damage it does to the engine on the long run.

                              You can mail them directly from the Yamaha website.
                              Contact Us| India Yamaha Motor Pvt. Ltd.

                              They definitely respond. Usually 2-3 days after you send the mail.
                              And yes if you have mentioned the SVC name then they will make sure that the SVC calls and resolves your query.

                                Took the bike to same mechanic and tuned it. Still the Topend is the same 107 but got there quicker. Will ask him to check the AFR once again if nothing works out will go for the stock filter.
