    I am new to this forum so bear with me if I am wrong with any protocol.
    I want to buy a FZ16 but I have 2 very important questions:

    You can expect a average fuel consumption of 35 on the FZ. By average it is a mean average. If ridden very hard she might return a mileage of 28 and is ridden conservatively even upwards of 45

    Yes, the bike is hassle free the open chain will need timely attention. I would suggest you get a motul chain spray and read bout maintenece of chains O-Ring chains here on XBHP. This bit of maintenece will be there on any bike sporting a open type O - Ring chain. That apart the bike is really hassle free.

    Thnx in advance
    Mumbai xbhpians its upto you guys on this one.

    Overall my expeirence with the FZS has been like a dream i dont want to ever wake up from.

                  its a local one...i guess "Type R" only 300rs i was initially going for the ROOTS one which is 600RS,but then realized that i am only going to use one horn so better buy the cheaper one...one horn itself is loud enough

                    should i ask for ,type r in the shop ,is it the name of that horn(do all horns fit the fz or only some)
                    guys i have solved probs of the left rvm angle.
                    i moved the entire clamp assembly of mirror to full corner ,now it is much better rear view
                    & now for headlight beam not proper. i have changed the entire angle to low ,it lights the roads 1000x better ,no need for high power bulbs as i has thought

                      Are you talking about the mirrored reflector in the headlamp around the bulb??

                          Is the head lamp beam problem with all the stock FZ-16 bikes. My bike's beam is more upwards and high beam is too high. Is this something difficult to change it a bit lower?

                            Hey, full corner means parallel to the handle grip? or more towards the headlights? Can u post a pic here, so that I can also adjust like the same and try out on my RVM?

                              Do the Fazer's mirrors fold inwards? I saw one in my office parking lot, but couldn't make out whether he had folded it or it was bent!
                              Sadly it was a TR vehicle, but already crashed&damaged on the right side!
