          But if you feel the deformation is excessive, then take up the issue with Yamaha or MRF. I can't tell you what can be considered excessive since asking you to measure the deformation is not practical. Just compare by sight with a few other FZ/Fazers and if you feel that your tyre has a problem, discuss it with the dealer. If he tries to dismiss your concern, contact Yamaha or MRF.

          When compared with other FZ's, any person can identify that my tyre is slight wobbly. I'll have 2 try another Yamaha showrooms i guess or else escalate the matter 2 MRF if needed.

                  I'll be going for my 5th service this week for the 10k mark. My bike as of now is running great but still I would like to ask the guys who got their 10k service done for something important to be worked upon the bike...
                  Hey guys,

                  Got my bike serviced yesterday . They changed the Air Filter saying that it's a mandatory change . Rest was as usual, engine oil, break oil, etc.

                  My ques. though: Can we replace the air filter of FZ stock with any good one?

                    what oil you are using now....

                    i suggest go for the semi-synthetic after your 3rd service....as your bike is new and if you are using premium petrol it would be good for now....

                        I don't want to change my Air Filter as I got a new one yesterday itself

                        But I wanted to ask that since there is a mandatory change for the Air Filter at 10k so can anything better be fitted into the airbox rather than the stock one?

                        K&N are known ones but I think they are more suited to Fuel Injected Systems...

                              I think, ur bike is perfrctly ok and just that ur worries about ur bike makes u feel that is wrong. Just try leaving both the hands while driving at say some 50-60 and see if the bike is going straight. If yes, nothing to worry at all.

                                Also try pressing the front brake&pushing down the shocks to see if they are compressing&rebounding properly.
                                I also feel its in your mind, I also used to feel the same initially.
