Not to mention that it has an exceptionally smooth engine

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?

You have an air leak, your intake is letting in more air than fuel resulting in a lean AFR which is causing the RPM to float when coming down. Another symptom is raised idle as the motorcycle gets hotter.

Do a WD40 test to determine where the leak is at and replace component.

Noted will check that. Bike was running fine but after the last service which this issue started. Strangely this issue does not showup when the bike is cold. But in heavy stop & go traffic this issue starts. As its a fuel injected bike so can't fiddle with the fueling system of my own as we can do with a carb.

Cold engine.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Guys, help me out with tire choices. Currently on MRF Revz - M and the tire is absolute dead and needs immediate replacement.

Have seen following options:

Ceat Zoom XL - 140 / 70 17
MRF Revz - 140 / 60 17
Ralco - 140 / 70 17
Michelin City Pro - 140 / 70 17
Michelin PSR - 140 / 70 17 (out of budget)

Any reviews on above mentioned tires shall be helpful.

Not many options are available with tire dealers and most of them these options only. MRF FC1 / MRF FC wasn't available with anybody here in Mumbai.

You don't need to fiddle with anything, just find the leak and replace the part responsible.

YouTube search WD40 Intake Leak and do some research before getting your hands dirty.

Difficult to get hands on any MRF. Most of them don't have them.

Any other option??

There is a way to ease this difficulty, book the tyre online at mrf website and opt for a nearby mrf dealership.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Hi,
Has anyone tried ackrapovic or ixil exhaust in their fz machines?
I am stuck between himalayan ( i only hear negative reviews about it) and fz. If i get fz i would surely like to replace the exhaust to ackrapovic or ixil after some time What is the response of the motorcycle with these exhausts? I dont want too much loud but something nice sound

Better oil than Yamalube.

If you get hands on Shell oil AX7, try that. I find Shell better than Motul & Yamalube.
