    Does the noise increases if you rip your bike?
    Its 2018 manufactured FZ-S, rear disc variant, done almost 7500 kms, riding is bit low since March due to fact more inclined towards my other ride (Yamaha RX-100 & Grand i10).
    If you're using Yamalube 10w40 oil then it makes noise over 6.5k rpm. Have switched to Elf 10w50 fully synthetic, noise is bit reduced.Click image for larger version Name: 20181001_145220.jpg Views: 1 Size: 20.4 KB ID: 1968070

        I had FZ S v2 grey color bought in 2015 and clocked 29k KMS till date. Paint shade is fading much quicker. So planned for a repaint. Does anyone repainted FZ v2. Also need suggestions for repainting.

          Don’t repaint, instead replace the parts.

            I thin replacing parts will be costlier than repaint. I need to replace petrol tank, Front Mudguard, side black panels so it will be costly.

              Petrol tank both panels + front fender + side black panels will cost approx 2500 max.

                I was returning home from a long extreme monsoon trip. Had ridden over 2300 kms in torrential rains and super bad roads covering Hyderbad - Goa - Amoli - Satara - Mahabaleshwar - Pune - Rajmachi - lonavala - Khandala. On the way back to hyderabad from Pune, after covering 150 kms, my drive chain snapped while I was cruising at 100 kmph. The chain immediately locked the rear wheel and I went 150 meters sliding (fishtailing the rear wheel). I could manage to contersteer the slide enough to not crash. the bike came to a halt after 150 meters of sliding.

                The damages were catastrophic. I had to get the bike toed on two different trolleys (chota haathi type / Ashok Leyland).

                PS - The chain had done 24000 kms before this incident. The chain was making horrible noises in the last 200 kms before the mishap.

                  Mechanical failure happens to the best of us, so that's that. I'm just glad you're alright.

                  As for the chain, wasn't it lubed? If it was then what did you use?

                  I've ridden my CT100B for close to 8000kms on the GQ circuit in under 2 weeks, and used to lube my chain at the road side mechanics(read used engine oil) once every 2 days or so as I covered about 600~900kms per day.

                  The drive chain tends to be the part that's usually forgotten about, hope that's not the case.

                            What is average life of a battery? Mine is 4 years old and ran 30000 Kms. Now its taking some seconds to light the instrument console after ignition switched on.

                              4 years is a good and healthy battery life. Time for you change it
