Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Rear wheel bearings have gone kaput. Get them replaced and well greased. Additionally, check for the drum brake's lining. It shouldn't be stuck when brakes are not applied. For checking the drum brakes, park your bike on main stand and rotate the wheel by hand. If you feel a resistance, you've a stuck rear drum. But do get the wheel bearings serviced and replaced if necessary.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

K bro thank you, will check for bearing, brakes are working fine but wheel doesn't rotates freely, maybe​ fault with bearing only..

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Update on carb:

Replaced the carb with Apache rtr 160 and also the right side switch gear which now accomodates only one accelerator cable. A slight delay in the initial pickup can be felt.
Filled exactly a litre of petrol and mileage was 66
Will check the mileage again and update on it

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Any changes in power delivery?

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

As I mentioned in the earlier post
Yes a slight loss(very little though) of initial pick up can be felt.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Yes i saw that. I mean, how's the bike behaving in the upper revs?

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Absolutely fine
No changes

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Hi need some help regarding fork oil change for FZS. Left fork of my FZ-S (2012 Model) having leakage, I'm gone through previous all posts and decided to replace fork oil and oil seal of both the forks. I'm getting done this work from local mechanics. I have purchase oil seal and Motul fork oil of grade 20W. My concern is manual states that each fork required 459 ml of fork oil of grade 10W, however, i have purchased fork oil of grade 20W, so a quantity of the fork oil will remain same or it will change.
Thanks in advance.

Second is auxiliary lights, pls suggest i ll be happy to know ur views on this

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

1. I suggest you get this done from a authorised service provider. I have suffered this issue a lot in the last few years, and the work done by local mechanic doesn't last for more than 6-10 months for me. But work done by ASS lasts for a long period.
Also, if your 2 front forks have suspension fluids of different thickness, your ride and balance will be affected. I suggest both forks have oil of same grade.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Hi,
I had same problem one month before and i understand your confusion. There are 2 possible solution
1. Get fork refilled at authorised service centre with all genuine accessories. Hassel free but costly.
2. Get original oil seal, motul 20w fork oil and get it replaced via a local machanic in your personal observation. Comparatively cost saving.

Now the quantity issue. If you fill fork oil according to service manual then you will face very hard suspension and may end up with tearing fork seal.
I personally used exaclty 250 mls in each leg and they gave me very smooth operation. Using since last 1 month without any problem.

Tips.
1. Always measure correct amount of oil. Don't take guesses as they will harm your bike balance if you pour different level of oil in both legs. So always measure your oil with measuring jar.
2. If you find suspension is lighter after fitting in bike, you can add exact same amount of oil in both legs equally without removing fork. Just open the top cap and pour oil in it. (Try increasing 10 mls in each leg if needed but i think 250 mls is a decent amount of oil for perfect operation)

Hope it will help

Cheers

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S


Hi
Thanks for such detailed guidance. actually, i don't have faith in these authorized service center peoples, that's why I decided to get work done from a local mechanic under my observation. I have purchased all genuine accessories and most probably will get work done tomorrow. Will update on same soon.
Thanks again for help.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

You're most welcome bro.
I too don't trust service centre guys as they half heartly treat your bike and they don't follow your command. That's the big reason they dis-satisfy the customers. It's better get the work done by an experienced local machanic.
Just measure the oil accurately. That's the main thing you should be careful about. Even you can help him measuring oil if needed as machanics are often busy in other things. I measured oil with myself when the mine bike's fork was filling.
There are different ways to measure oil. You can use measuring cup. You can use a bigger syringe either. Or any other accurate measurement method available.
Cheers.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

I too experienced ASC better than trusted and experienced FNG when it comes to fork and cone set. Mine too leaked too quickly when done outside and cone set became loose quicker and needed fiddling with it once or twice.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S
