    There are no oil leaks and the bike still does 100kmph at around 6800 rpm. I do keep a close eye / ear over how it sounds and feels. I doubt piston rings would have gone bust :/ .. I will check the spark plug though as you asked.

    I meant that the frequency of downshift misses is increasing and I shift to 1st around 10-15kmph.

    But, a switched off bike rolling when in gear is normal?
    A switched off bike can roll a bit to some extent until it reached compression stroke.

    Check clutch and chain slack . There should be atleast 1 inch free play and max of 1.5 inch .This applies to both clutch lever and chain

      Hi, my mechanic told, he need to change the carburetor vacuum piston to solve the issue which costs 1700. Is it true??

            • Self do not working after engine warmde up!

              Yamaha Fazer v1 self starter is not responding in hot condition , but absolutely okay in cold condition (i.e. fresh cold morning starts, start after 1hr parking). What happened I don't recognise? Battery is new and absolutely fine.

                  17 mm for drain bolt and 8 mm for oil filter. Socket wrench is the best option.

                      Carburetor has a vacuum piston or slide which has a diaphragm on top. This vaccum piston acts as an fuel pump when you twist throttle.
                      If it is ill fitted or has a hole, it wont provide smooth flow of fuel into carb , leading to missing or flat spots.

                        Hi,

                        I am a new rider (may be a Lizard compared to all the riders with experience as huge as Godzilla) with about only 1.5yrs experience. I own a used Yamaha FZ16 (2009 model).

                        When I had bought my bike it had a very poor condition, which I've kind of restored with regular servicing and necessary repairing.

                        I love my bike very much and replace necessary parts with genuine Yamaha parts only.

                        Recently I've noticed that my engine has caught cold and sounds a little shrill. One of my friend has suggested me to pour 2T next time I refill petrol. He has also asked me not to refill with Xtra Premium (as I usually do) and go for regular petrol.

                        I want to know IS 2T GOOD FOR MY BIKE?
                        If YES, then how much should I pour and which brand? Also, should I pour it every time I refill?

                        Also, SHOULD I GO FOR REGULAR PETROL?

                          No one is a Godzilla by birth they become so with experience and a thirst for learning which never seems to go away. Looks like this is your first post, welcome to xBhp!

                          Now to your query, don't put anything with petrol. 4-stroke engines don't require anything other than petrol and air.
                          And what's wrong in using normal petrol in your opinion. I have never filled premium petrol and the bike is running perfectly.

                          BTW, what is the ODO reading?

                          Ride safe and have fun.

                                Engine did not become cold. It's just sounding a little shrill than usual.
