Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Hi Anand

I have dropped a mail to yamaha, waiting for their reply.

Regarding the vibration issue, is it easily rectifiable ?

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

Guys, In addition to this clutch bell issue, My SVC told that my chain sprocket is kaput(8000KMS only) and they tricked me in changing the engine oil during fourth service which resulted in weird engine sounds.
Now i am using fully synthetic engine oil(Shell), now the weird noise is not present.
Will the chain sprocket get damaged this soon? And is fully synthetic oil good for the engine?

Re: Fazer piston change and post experience.

Either take it to a recognised SVC in your area and get the entire engine kit replaced as recommended by them or sell it off.

I know a mechanic near Vaishali metro station. Good guy, but i don't know if he does Yamaha. You can check with him.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Hi
In general the stock chain sprockets provided should last about 12000 to 18000 (I changed at 13000, a Friend's lasted 22k kms, a person in the forum had his sprockets last 30k kms).
To some extent it depends on usage too and the slackness is adjustable.
However that being said its rather weird for chain to give up at 8000kms.
Full synthetic oil is good for the engine post 5000kms as the opinions varies from person to person although its no harm to continue using it.
Vibrations can be for several factors:
Few of them can be for loose bolts and nuts or from the engine end both of which needs to be inspected.
Hope this solves the problem.
Regards
Ride safe.

Acceleration Decreased!! Yamaha Fazer 153cc!!

Hello Friends/Folks,
I am Saikat from Kolkata, proud owner of Yamaha Fazer v1 153cc (2014, June Model). Recently I met an accident on 30th March, 2015. A car just rammed me near Golpark at the rear portion (silencer part) due to wet road braking failure of the car. I got injured in my left knee. My Yamaha is damaged almost every part (Front Headlight Assembly damaged, Gear Lever got stuck into 3rd, Side Main broken, Main Stand damaged, Silencer Portion totally cracked, Handle-Clutch lever damaged). I have done repairing from Yamaha Factory Shop, Kolkata. Bill was 6685 INR. Thanks to Iffco Tokio Motor Insurance, I got a major portion (approx 65%) covered from Insurance Claim. Now, from Yesterday I feel the acceleration is reduced quite majorly. The idle rpm after riding approx 30min is almost 1000 rpm (like a cold starting rpm). The bike is not pulling like earlier. After 85 kmph, bike is behaving like "you are straining engine unit" while previously it happens after 110 kmph. I can't recognize the problem. I checked the idle screw, it is set almost optimum position, but the bike idle rpm is not like hot engine idle rpm (There is no Cold Starting Issue!!). Everything is right, e.g. tyre pressure 29(F) & 33(R), no leaks (I checked today), Both brakes are just Fine. Clutch is appropriately tightened. Even Gears are shifted easily. Motul 15w50 300v Factory Line 100% Synthetic (Engine Oil) is only 3000 km old. Everything seems to be okay to my belief.
I don't know what is happened to my lovely bike. Can anybody please help me!!

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Hi
I am sorry for the accident that you went into. Hope you are doing fine.

As far as the bike is concerned you have a paid an amount to the SVC guys at keshtopur.
Please drop a mail or visit the shop asap as this accident might have played haywire with the symmetry of ur bike's chasis as well. Please get it checked too and if required get it changed.
Though it feels as if you should get your carb, carb hose, air filter and box primarily checked again and all other parts of the bike keenly observed and checked by a trained mech at the SVC only.

If you have changed the cylinder block then you should have opted for a better running in procedure of keeping the speed band within rpm range. Either ways Yamaha workshop should offer a viable solution.
Ride safe.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

^^ Chassis Damage or Fork damage is also what I suspect. Get them checked.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Has anybody put LED headlamp? If so, what make and the wattage for same.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

As far as my knowledge,except for Toyota Altis,there is no proper brand that makes LED headlamps. What we motorcyclists get are overpriced non-guarantee stuff made in China. LED headlamps which are currently available in the market are 15W in low beam and 20W in high beam.its pretty bright and pretty expensive as well. What are you looking for? More luminosity or low wattage or just white light?

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Why not try RS200 led lights ..? Should be cheap and effective ,myself looking for two pairs.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Devils_friend is talking about the headlamp and not pilot lamps/DRLs.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

I am looking for a light whose spread can be seen on the road and not for namesake. Currently using spare bulb of my car, which is effective but not that much.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Sorry,there is no other option than a projector with an HID bulb which would evenly spread out the beam. I have been using projectors on my Fazer and the result is awesome on really dark highways. The stock reflectors of the Fazer are next to worthless even when using better bulbs. I am ordering a pair of Morimotos directly from their distributor.PM me if you are interested in a group purchase.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Hey Speedykol bro, PMed you, please check it out.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

You can install auxiliary lamps. But how to power them is the main problem. Our stock battery can't handle the extra load.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

You mean the fog lamps kind of thing?? If so, the public isn't so friendly that it will stay on the bike for long and even the police will have bright glow in their face when they see such lights on the bike (if you know what i mean).
