Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S
Hi Team,
A small suggestion recently i have bought new yamaha FZ16 that is 2017 manufactured batch and mine was the last manufactured vehicle from company, which i bought on 26 JAN2017, after owning FZ v2 for 6 months, i sold bought this old version, when i drove speed of vehicle is very less, i mean gear ratios are very near, so what i did is i have changed the front small sproket wheel to unicorn wheel which has 15 teeth, stock one has 14 Teeth, this has increased my vehicle speed, like example earlier i use to clock 60 KMPH with 4000 RPM, now if i touch 4000 RPM, my bike is touching 65 KMPH, then still i am not satisfied, so i went for changing stock new MRF type to Machillin which larger than stock tyre, now i check and tested my bike speed, 4000 RPM, it is touching 70 KMPH, So i can give gurantee that for log drives easily i can touch 130 KMPH, we this simple modifications, last but not he least, slightly you need to compromise on pick up.
Cost for modification.
Unicorn: Front Sproket wheel, 150 Honda Original
Rear Tyre : Michellin 3250, including tax ( Since my Bike was brand New, Type shop owner offered me Rs 2000 for MRF company tyre which came along with Bike)
So tyre cost could be 1250.
With this slight modifications you can achieve top speed, without touching engine or going for race air filters.

Thanks for your update. My questions were just queries from a novice rider. I have burnt my hands with those relatively faster, longer rides and have come down to the range of 95-100 Kmph touring. The yamalube SS 15w50 has been able to take this kind of long touring at 90-100kmph. But I was surprised and confused as to how the Motul FS could not take this.
My earlier ride was a 2004 Scooty pep, a punny 80cc that could do 70kmph...
A Fazer feels rock solid, but I have had valve issues earlier and the Factory shop mechs cared two hoots for it. Have found a better SVC now.
Might switch over to a more powered liquid cooled bike in the future but for now it shall be the 150 cc Fazer...Still trying to learn its limitations. I knew the limitations of a pep, but the Yamaha engine is so refined and the bike build so good that one tends to misjudge the limitations....
I am still learning....
Btw the Motul case was in normal city riding at speeds upto 90 kmph
