Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Hey guys. As per your suggestions, i have finalized Pirelli Sport Demon 140/70 R17 H-rated rear tyre but the shop guy is offering me 2014 made tyre. So is it OK to go for that as it is old stock tyre or should i search for latest stock? And 'm also waiting for fork solution..??

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

I guess you'll have warranty problems. Go for 2016 or later

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Rubber tends to deteriorate with time. Don't buy a 2014 made tyre even on discount.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Yeah that's right. I totally agree with you.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Which tyre should I replace for fz16 rear tyre?

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

How to properly clean bike engine outside as it has so much residues, salt deposit, dirt, oil, etc. When i try to clean it with diesel or kerosene, it become more whitish. What should i do to get clean black look?

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Stock MRF tyre, bur newer one. Revz M I think.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

I think the coating on the metal is lost over time and it becomes like this.
First clean with diesel and then with mild soap and then apply liquid polish. It helps for sometime but then again, it is no premanent solution.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Thanx for your help. Can i apply WD40? Is it safe?

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Why would you want to use WD on the engine

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Recently i bought pair of pirelli sport demon tyres rear 130/70 front 110/70 for just 4500 INR . i tell u these tyres r not upto the mark and skids a lot , hence met with 2 little accidents nothing major. The shopkeeper is a geniune seller in the market and he said its a offer from pirelli thats why it's so cheap these days. The tyres are brand new but not doing the job ! What shoild i do..?

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

How many kms have you done after the tyres were changed?

If it is less than 150-300 kms, this is because the tyres need to bed in.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Yes its been more than 300 kms as i ride daily of 80-100kms.
And the bike is also less smoorh compare to old mrf's.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Hello all

Posting on behalf of a friend who owns fzs 2012 model with 30k on it which only returns 26kmpl

It has been timely serviced
Airfilter, sparkplug are replaced in the last service
Carb is cleaned and tuned at a trusted mechanic (it returned 40 when the carb tuning is done)
Rear tyre is Michelin pilot sporty
The mileage figures are the same from the past 3k kms

What might be the issue??

OT: [MENTION=16677]deville_56[/MENTION] read your owner ship thread on TAI
Excellent write up [emoji4]

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Hey guys.
Serious problem with my friend's FzS.
It's 2012 model clocking around 72k ODO.
The concern is bike is giving white smoke while revving more than 4000 rpm. And some sound also there in engine. Asked to a local machanic , he said problem is in ring piston as they need to be changed. Bike is sealed one with company fitted rings, piston, clutch plates, timing chain, etc.

We also got the bike checked in authorised Yamaha service centre. They also diagnosed the same issue.

Now the confusen is local machenic said that engine need only rings, piston, clutch plate and timing chain to be replaced. Piston would be of 25 number with somw lathe job you know. (Half engine work)

But YSC guys said that engine need full kit to be changed (Full engine work). They didn't agree to do half engine work as i mentioned earlier.

Now i am confused with these 2 options. Which option should i opt for? Economic one or expensive one?

Clarification :- My friend uses his bike much
less now a days (just 300-400 kms per month) because he got another bike and car but he still wants to keep Fz trouble free but in economical way.

Bike is still performing well as it is highly maintained. Always runs on motul 5100 semi-synthetic engine oil. Fuel economy 40+ in local and 45+ on highway. But top end reduced drastically. It used to clock 125 km/h (i personally hit that) but now it screams to get even 100 km/h and engine sounds like it will blast in any second at that point. This Problem starts with crossing 60 km/h.
But haven't noticed any drop in engine oil level.
Help it guys.
