        hmmm.....ok...
        well just so that you guys know....got my fz16 on last monday.Have covered 250kms in 3 days.Then went to goa on the 1st and havnt driven it since.
        Bike is in amazing in feel and looks.Just a small problem.The rear break creeks when applied.Will a simple oiling on the assembly fix the problem or do i need to get it checked out???(Asking cause the service center is far from my place n no time to go there)

          Congrats!! n ride safely..

          N It may be coz of the water drops on the brake pads which gets in after a wash or rain! Ride few kms, and it will be fine.

            Lets study some physics now.

            Assuming bike battery voltage = 12V

            Each Bulb wattage = 35W
            Calculating Resistance(R) of 1 Bulb:
            Power(P) = Current(I) x Voltage(V);
            35W = I x 12 V
            I = 35/12 A = 2.9 A
            R = V/I = 12/2.9 = 4.14 Ohm

            Case 1: Both Bulbs in serial connection:
            R = R1 + R2 = 4.14 + 4.14 = 8.28 Ohm
            I = V/R = 12/8.28 = 1.45 A
            Power required by battery:
            P = V x I = 12V x 1.45 A = 17.5W

            Power Supplied to each 35W bulb = 17.5 / 2 = 8.75
            Inference: Both bulbs run at 1/4 Illumination, i.e. Reduced illumination as compared to stock, decrease in battery discharging rate 17.5W as compared to 35W

            Case 2: Both Bulbs connected in Parallel:
            1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2
            (Cutting the Carp)
            R = 2.07 Ohm
            I = V/R = 12/2.07 = 5.8 A
            Power required by battery:
            P = V x I = 12V x 5.8A = 70W
            Power Supplied to each 35W bulb = 70 / 2 = 35W
            Inference: Both bulbs run at full illumination with improved visibility but with increased battery discharge rate 70W instead of 35W.

            Conclusion: If Yamaha hasn't considered that users will be doing such mods, you are running towards deep shit (Dead battery + no kick starter + Middle of the night)
            awesome man..good work and hope that 'my fazer has dual lamps' guy gets enlightnened... 'as we learn in physics' lol

              Right that.

              BTW ,its not just this thread, I've started seeing a lot of FAZER's on road too.
              Esp the black ones. Haven't seen any blue as yet even on this thread. Had been to my dealer a few days ago to get the rear mudguard flap, he told me he has stopped taking FAZER bookings as the company is not delivering on time. He even said that a lot of people canceled their bookings because of the delay in delivery. Earlier I had this notion that FAZERS would still be rare coz of its price tag but the overwhelming bookings and on road bikes suggest otherwise. Nice

                no man n water. if you calculate the rains started on wednesday night but my brakes have been creeking since the first day i got da bike that is last monday.And for all those who think i should have checked this earlier I have to say that i did and they started making noise after a couple of hours....

                  do some oiling near the break paddle
                  use gear oil

                  check your manual it is shown in it,

                    Plus as i figure out he changed the wiring from serial to parallel.. so that battery may sipport the increased load.. as we study in physics..
                    i think u guys shd reduce the existing load on the battery like tail lamps & other non required bulbs

                      ya i also feel the same

                      your battery will create problems

                      that is starting up horn and ignition

                          Hi Guys,

                          I am currently in pune and looking for some accessories...like mesh seat cover, strips on rim and if i m not wrong there were some LED lights introduced by Yamaha, Leg Guard..etc....Can someone give me pointer where i can get all these...I tried Yamaha Factory shop but they are saying they cannot sell...Rest all dealers does not have a single thing...

                          Else i can buy same from Delhi too and get it fitted in pune if same are available in any delhi showroom

                          Thanks in advance

                          Regards,

                          • Hello guys, I have a new yamaha fz 16, completed 1 months and 550km. First service was done yesterday. Do they clean and polish the bike for the first service? I didn't feel so.
                            Also the first ever mileage obtained by me was 44kmpl. I continued to ride at 45-50kmph and the highest obtained ( before service ) was 52kmpl. Now that I have completed the 1st service, what is the maximum I can obtain if I ride in economy speed. ( Also please specify the maximum economy speed for the fz 16 ).

                            Any chance If I can fit a crash guard to it ?
                            Reduce 1 km/hr speed, add 1second 2 ur life.

                              Cleaning should be done...for sure!!
                              abt polishing....hmmm...well PSN at Cochin does polish the bikes with WAXPOL polish....but then when they were polishing mine,one guy came up to me and asked if that was the part of the free service and i said yes..and then he was surprised and he told me that in his town(some where far away frm Cochin i guess)they don't do the polishing and they charge more for free services.

                              so i guess it depends on the quality of your Dealer....anyway wait for the other members reply and see if polishing is done everywhere.
