my FZ does 70kmph@5000rpm in 5th gear..your bike must be doing close to 70kmph when you are near 5k rpm..you have mentioned 62-63 nd 5-5.5k on the rpm meter..either you must be in 4th gear or you may have some problem with your bike..

yes..the average life span of chain sprocket set is around 20k.kms..i changed my RTR160's sprocket set at 17k.kms..

you must have done your last service at 1000kms..and you have done only 1100kms after that.....get it serviced after the trip.....just get your bike water washed,lubed and fill air in your tires before the trip..your bike wil do fine

Take your bike to some other nearby SVC. If they have the same opinion.. Then u sure have to get it replaced.

And regarding your bike being 19k kms old.. Sorry bro! My bike has only done 1.5k kms as of now! So I can not tell you the life span of the chain set.

As quoted by RanjithMN... "try loosening the rear brake". Might work for you. No one never knows when these SVC guys mess up with your bike!!! It seems that they still are in experimental phase with FZs.

P.S.:Go through yr User Manual... It must me mentioned there that after how many kms you should get it changed.

I'm facing the same problem every now & then dude.. Bike running well throughout & suddenly loosing accelration & throttle response so I'v 2 pull over & then my engine wud stop & it would not start except after a couple of minutes & restarting ignition & Engine kill switch several times.. I'm just having no idea bout wats going on with my FZ

Thanks for advice bro. I already got it corrected (as mentioned earlier).
They shifted my Rear tyre's postion towards the engine (or loosened the chain; increasing the chain slackness). It solved the problem.

Another possibility: it could be that the fuel tank cap is blocking the air inlet thereby creating a vacum inside, preventing the fuel from flowing out of it. By waiting a few minutes, the vacum dissipates on its own.

To see if this is the case, the next time the bike stops suddenly, open the fuel tank cap (remove it completely) and replace it. There's no need to wait in between. If it's a problem with vacum, then the fuel should start flowing immediately and your engine should start immediately.

Great sugestion bro.. It wud definitely be on top of my TO DO list when my FZ halts again nxt time.. Thnx again.
If u dont mind, I hav another minor issue to share with u bro. From very 1st day I bought my FZ, I noticed the rear tire is misalligned or something coz it can be clearly seen when rear wheel is moving @ speed above 20 kmph. The wheel is wobbly by around 1cm so I thought its not such a big issue. Anyways as i started to take my FZ near speeds of 50 kmph I notice far more imbalance & also tyre skids a bit when I apply rear brakes @ high speeds. The situation is even worse while cornering @ speeds above 40 kmph. I took up this issue to SVC guys & they said there is no problem with rims but the problem may be coz of eneven tyre air pressure so they tried completely deflating & inflating tyre. They made some minor adjustments & then said its all ok now but i dint feel much difference. I took my bike to two local mechanics (my frnd knows them) & showed them the rear wheel & they promptly acknowledged its a genuine issue with my rear wheel & it wud cost me around Rs 300 to remove, reallign & refit the tyre from them. I dont mind spending, but I'm worried 2 give my new FZ 2 a relatively unknown mechanic to me so pls advice me what to do?
PS: I already tracked out another Yamaha authorised SVC in my city, its bit far away but I'll try there next week maybe since I'm tight on schedule currently.

If the problem has been identified as being with the rim and not the tyre, then you will have to get it realigned. This must be done with the proper tools (usually by machine). However, being a die cast aluminium alloy wheel, the amount of correction possible is more limited than with steel wheels. I personally feel that you should contact aluminium alloy wheel specialists for this.

Also, check with others users and mechanics to find out whether the problem is a manufacturing defect or due to normal (hopeless Indian) road conditions.
If it's the former, you should pressure the dealer for a warranty replacement or repair.

The bike was serviced one month back and its running fine. But the second service need to be done in 90 days i guess. SO i will get it serviced.

Thanks a lot for your suggestion..

Have a great day bro

Yes you never know about SVC guys.Everytime they turn up with a different opinion.

Anywayz thanks for the reply bro.I will be take my bike to other center as well.

Thanks for the reply !!

Thanks for the reply.I will definately have a look at what you suggested.

4th/10k service...
