      RC 390 to fzs 150?!

      For vibrations check the drive chain, lubricate it within proper intervals, check tyre pressure and check rear wheel alignment.

        I bought the RC out of excitement but later realized it was not my cup of tea.. so sold it .. I needed a commuter bike .. didn't want to spend much .. wanted a machine which could serve me years to come with minimum maintenance .. test rode the FZS and Apache 160 .. fell in love with the FZ and went Yamaha this time .. what I have realized is Japanese bikes are playing in a different league ..

        I dont think there is a wheel alignment problem since this thing is there from the very beginning .. chain is being lubricated on time .. I have got it lubricated twice from the service center .. 1st was during the first service and 2nd was a few weeks ago .. I have a Michelin digital gauge to monitor the tyre pressure and I check it regularly .. now remaining thing is drive chain .. and maybe any part of the bike which might be vibrating? what do you suggest?

        Thanks for taking the time for helping me

          Every 600kms you have to clean the chain and lube it.

                Has anyone here tested the 2018 FZ V2 FI (with the kick starter)? I'm sort of inclined to buying since the Unicorn 160 got discontinued and the I'm not a fan of the xBlade.

                  No need of kicker. It will always start....

                    I've used the V1 a few times, so I'm kinda used to the kick. Saves you from some worry.

                      What are your requirements?? Did you try the RTR 160 4v??

                        Actually I'm set on FZ since it's the only one that fits my current budget (cheapest 150cc so far). The skinny wheels on SZ-RR were not inspiring at all.

                            Yeah, that's what I wanted to confirm (whether someone has taken a test ride of it or not). There were some battery issues from what I had heard (on rear disc variant FZ-S). Might as well just go with the normal FZ-Fi with rear drum. Best version and minimal if you ask me.

                              I have double disk without kick. No probs so far.
