Yeah that seems a fair assumption.
I get around 40-42 on my Gixxer on spirited riding so the fz having a touch smaller engine and fuel injection should fair about the same if not better.

Getting 52 calculated by full tank method. Even before 1st service. And engine refinement is mind blowing.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Thinking to buy fz s, as price is good in 150cc category.
Also, since all of you are very experienced with this motrocycle here- what are the major issues with the bike, if any
And, since it doesnt have a kick start, does the electric start give trouble. I live in high altitude where temperature gets very low in winters. Avenger 220cc gave me lot trouble or mostly didnt start at all. Thanks

The 2018 FZ-S has the option of an additional kick start. So, you should be good. As long as the bike is maintained well, I doubt that there will be starting issues. I've seen a lot of people owning FZs who never had any starting issues.

Hey Guys
This is my first post in xbhp

i am originally from Kerala but now in pune studying automobile designing for my degree .I own a 2011 fz-s now converted to fz 16. I always loved the fz when it came out with its huge wheels and the body design just was perfect. This is my first geared bike,i have had a Honda dio earlier but sold it.I bought the bike from my father's friend he has taken care of it real well.The day i got it i serviced it,changed the MRF tires to Michelin pilot sporty(140 rear and 100 front) and tried spray painting the panels because the paint had shown its age.It came out disastrous

and later repainted everything to gloss black from a proper painter in pune. Now currently the bike is in Kerala but will be taking it back to pune within a week.I have done some pretty good mods to the bike.Hope everyone like it

.

Where did you find those headlight from?

Depends entirely on the dealer/showroom. I remember seeing 2% extra on CC somewhere, but then again, depends on the showroom.

Yeah, it is like everywhere. Buy anything with cc and pay extra percentage.
While rest of the world pays moneyback/discounts on cc purchases, in india the buyer pays the penalty
Thanks btw

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

I am recently facing an issue, when the engine heats up in stop and go traffic the rpm gets stuck at 3k and slowly comes down to idle. The rpm swiftly rises and falls above and upto 4k but stops at 3k and gradually falls. I have changed my accelerator cable about a year ago and the accelerator cable is completely fine & has normal play.
When the engine is cold the fall from 3k rpm to idle is faster compared to warm engine. What can be the possible reason for this issue?

Here is the video

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Guys i am planning to buy the FZ-s dual disk version. I did a test drive on the bike, and i am comfortable with the bike. My previous bikes were RTR 160 and was searching for a good commuters bike. I am inclined towards FZ-s, and for my height (5ft 4in) i am comfortable in handling it.
Question here are
How is the reliability of the bike, can i keep it at least for next 3-4 years.
How is the low end torque of the bike, does it have enough pulling power, i usually drive in the speed range around 60-80
Does the bike develop any issues, after clocking 20k kms.
What are the flaws in the dual disk version of the bike.
How is the service experience from the Yamaha dealerships.

Surely you can go for the dual disk version.
I have an fz V2 4 years old with 30k odo.meter.

Apart from regular wear and tear with regular service. No other issues face till date.

Major parts replaced are - chain speaker and back tyre.

Bike is reliable at any condition or environment
