Also the oil seal of my two front forks is leaked. Can anyone tell me the warranty period of the oil seals? How much does it costs?

It got leak about a month back but never had to time for servicing. And it got worse after I accidently fell on a ditch of 5 feet depth without falling sideways on the ground almost 2 weeks back

.

Anybody experienced the same problem? (I meant the bike not the rider

)

What does "always getting loose" mean? How many kilometres has your bike run?
If your bike hasn't run much, say less than 10k, then most likely, your chain is running dry or dirty or both and it's causing it and the sprockets to wear out too fast. If this is the case, then get the chain and sprockets replaced with new ones and this time clean and lubricate them regularly. You can also have them done at the Yamaha service station.

Clean and lubricate chains when you notice it's become dry and or very dirty. Also watch out for spots of rust. This means the chain isn't properly protected.

As for the fork seals, it may be replaced under warranty if the mechanic thinks the leak hasn't been caused by use (or abuse) and seems premature. Discuss this with him.

thanks!

@torino: My Monster has been running for more than 13,000 kms. I have been riding off-road a lot since the time I got this monster.

I will give a try after cleaning and lubricating it once more.

@iamvik: "always getting loose" means that after running for about 100kms its get loosen, makes noise but not the same as when it is too tighten.

I never experienced this frequent problem earlier before 12,000kms.

@above: Thanks for the advice and suggestion guys

Will post the update regarding this.

Cheers xBhpians!
Happy Biking!

Dude how's the seat cover faring in rainy weather... ?? and does it create any problem while cleaning the bike??

Sound from rear end!!!

When the bike passes through bad roads,I can hear some 'tak-tak' sound from somewhere near the rear wheel.The sound level has increased since a day. Anyone else experiencing this problem? It seems as if two metallic parts are rubbing/hitting against each other.Its an FZ 16.

**RanjithMN** · 11-17-2009, 03:42 PM

@S FI
im not sure what it is but have you checked the rear tire pressure? and what abt your chain?....is it well lubed?or maybe its loose and easily hits something on bumpy roads?
and check few pages back in this thread,some one complaint abt a similar sound but frm the front.

**S_FI** · 11-17-2009, 03:48 PM

does that mean that no such sound comes from your bike??even after falling into a big pothole??

**r@m** · 11-17-2009, 04:02 PM

When my bike hits reserve . after changing the fuel tap to reserve the bike runs as if there is no petrol it misfires..
can anyone guide what the problem is about. its very annoying to ride it..

It looks like all your off-road running has taken its toll on the chain. You should take even more care of the chain when running off-road as it gets dirtier faster.
I think you have no choice but to replace the chain and sprockets.

i feel the sound is from your rear tire

because i too experienced the same sound from my rear tyre

does the sound comes when you ride you bike on a radium light which are on the road or it comes only when you ride on a pothole .

best thing is to check the rear tire pressure frequently.

MY QUESTION : I red your post about chain cleaning and lubricating is a chain cleaner and chain lube both different things please explain how to use it .
