      You can use Michelin Pilot Street Radial as replacement for your rear tyre. They are available in 140/60 and 150/60 sizes. I use the 150 on my FZ and it's a perfect fit. Looks brilliant too. And I don't even need to speak about the grip levels

        Just had to cut the stock battery holder from the top & RHS and thats it.
        The wiring is slightly adjusted too.

            That would be strange as the dealer I got mine from said 140/60 is manufactured. 😕 could be mistaken though.

              Anyone changed Clutch plates recently? How much do they cost?

                my speedometer light is not working when I turn on the headlights, if that is because of loose wires, which one should I adjust, please advise guys .

                I am working in night shifts, so
                I am unable to see the speed or Fuel meters at night rides.

                  Spray WD40 in the switches, this thing happens during rainy season.
                  The real beauty lies in throttle's twist!!

                  Headlight can be replaced, Head cannot be. Wear a helmet.

                    Sorry, i didn't read that first time and i'm not a clutch rider. I also drive honda twister and it has clocked around 60 kms. Never changed clutch and even clutch wire. And to add up i service twister after 5k kms and that too at local shop and pour sunny deol engine oil. And i had never let any local person to touch fzs even for chain slack.My fzs clutch wire has broken two times in 30k kms. I doubt yamaha spare parts quality.
                    Even the new chain set i bought had manufacturing defect since day one.

                      It's been 3 years running on the Dunlop Tuffgrip.. not a single puncture till date, still going strong & quite happy with it.
                      Check out Michelin Street Radial.. it's a good tyre too.

                      Hope it helps.

                              Welcome to problematic world of fzs, these minor problem is normal for fzs because of poor quality control of yamaha. Try to ignore them and leave up with it. Just don't listen to svc do everything according to service book for long life of your bike. And xbhp is your friend everyone will help with your anytype of query.
