NightBreaker Seems to have solved the problem of Light in my FZ. Its Much Brighter than factory fitted one. Now i can ride easily at night without getting blinded by opposite vehicle lights. I am happy it worked.

I am attaching the picture of Seat and light.

guys I'm having hard times with my just a week old FZ16. It takes ages to warm up the engine in morning (in the process the engine stalls atleast 4-5 times) But the worse thing happened today was after 5 minutes of a steady ride, the bike suddenly lost its accelelartion power & the throttle was'nt responding anymore. I had to pull over & then i tried restarting the bike but it did'nt. I tried Choke, restarted the engine kill switch, adjusted fuel knob to reserve & all possible methods I could think of & then after a few minutes of trouble my bike came to life. Rode it happily for next couple of km's & then the overall process repeated (engine not responding, no ignition etc) I decided to take it to Yamaha service centre & by the time I reachd there , I guess my bike was warmed up enough & hence there was no problems wen mechanics checked it. I had hard time convincing them what i went through & finally the only reply Igot from them was that the problem may be because of a drop of water of Spark plug or ignition area. So I wanted to ask these to u guys, can this b the problem with my bike? If yes then guide me coz by bike is washed daily by a local person so what further precautions should I take. Please help me frnds coz I dont want to go throuh the same nightmare again tomorrow morning

hey man , you have all the advice you need given by the ppl above ... but you can just check this silly point , were you by any chance riding the bike with the choke on ? if yes , then that's your problem ... coz i have experienced the same problems but then realized i was riding with the choke on ... since then no issue .

The mesh seat looks interesting. Can you tell us the address of the shop you bought it at?

The battery can take the load of a 55/60 bulb. Go for it.

If you want more assurance, go to any automobile spares shop (car parts) and buy a regular H4 55/60 bulb. Costs Rs 60-70. Use that for a few days. if happy, buy a costly one.



Condition 1: Don't cross 50 KMPH in 5th gear.
Condition 2: Sprain your right wrist so that you cannot give faster twists for acceleration. You'd then accelerate slow and that helps get better mileage.
Condition 3: Make sure your mind understands that you are riding a Luna and that your heart doesn't want to go faster.

Bottom Line: Very Very difficult. Be happy if you get 50 KMPL. Jump with joy if you get anything closer to 55 KMPL.

Hi,
This is Shoyeb from Mumbai.

Just cancelled my Unicorn today (coz i have to wait for more 45 days) and want a FZ-16 OR FZ-S ....

I do have a questions here...
1-Can Kick start be installed?
2-Is the battery maintainence free?
3-What is the top speed you got (When bike is most stable)?
4-How about cornering/turning (TYRE GRIPPING)?
5-Any good reason/s for buying FZ rather than Unicorn
6-Mileage (City)

Please reply me ........
And Thanks in advance

Today I was riding in the city and suddenly it started raining very heavily. I didn't stopped anywhere for rain to stop as I was in hurry. After 15-20min ride what happen the RPM got stuck at 3K, even i was not accelerating it. I can drive in 2nd gear without accelerating it as it got stuck at 3K. But after 3hrs stoppage when I started the bike then it went to normal without doing anything, just a 3 hr rest to bike. Is there any problem with any component or anything else, need help guys. What can I do so that it wouldn't happen again.
Just to add ODO is 700 only.

... yesterday was on a 200 km round trip to the outskirts of bangalore , was fantastic , what was more amazing was the mileage my bike gave through the entire ride ... 55.3 ... plus it was not all that sedate a ride as well ... had filled 200rs worth of shell normal fuel ( bike was running on vapours before refill ) , and hit reserve as the trip meter read 217km ... jus hoping the trend continues

Clean and adjust the spark plug gap first. And check to see if the problem's solved.

If not, get the pilot jet and the carburettor cleaned and then tuned. Also check for dirt in the fuel filter in the fuel cock and clean or replace if required.

If it still doesn't work, it could be an electrical problem related to the ignition.

Important question for you: does the bike run normally and as good as other FZs at all speeds once the engine is hot?

Hey guys,
'm facing a problem with my fz's rear tyre. It's too hard to spin. When spinned with full force.. it takes 1-2 revolutions max. and then stops. Though it was a bit hard on that part from the beggining but since my last service done a week ago, it has become a bit more harder.
Moreover, the bike has also dropped it's mileage considerably. Before 2nd service, it was giving a mileage of 38-40 kmpl; but now it's a meare 25 kmpl(double checked).
I also feel that the bike is harder to pull as it seems that engine takes too much effort to pull it in 2nd gear.

As 'm too busy with placements right now, it's tough for me to get time out for frequent visits to SVC. So guys, please help me here.
