    Hi Guys,

    I am from Bangalore, I bought my FZ16 in April 2009, and till now 3 free services has been done, but i dont feel exact performance of the bike with respect to initial pickup, top end or the mileage, it will take atleast 6sec to reach 0-60Kmph, top end i have reached only 111Kmph and mileage dont ask, hardly 33Km/Ltr i ride my bike in an average speed of 60-70Km/Hr, is there something technical problem in the bike or servicing not been done properly or something else i need to look for. Would like to get some sugession on this.

    Thanks

    Try tuning the bike toward less power and more mileage to get increased mileage. The svc should do it for free. I have done it before 2nd service, and I get 44kmpl when driving rough, in city at 55-60km/hr and get 54kmpl in driving at economy. The pickup is not great after tuning.
    Reduce 1 km/hr speed, add 1second 2 ur life.

    • same here friend....

      even i am getting a consistent mileage of 32-35 kmpl......Its disgusting....

      i mean even pulsar 180 gives more mileage with a better power delivery....

      • ^ dunno about u guys but my bike has been returning 38kmpl watever i do....

              Mine is a similar problem....
              Dunno guys....but maybe they are factory made pathetically....
              Whatever tuning i do or drive sanely or insanely...it just returns figures of 34-36....
              No pick up...even a hero honda passion races me to the finish line with me licking its tyre marks(forget the finish line)...
              And dont even think about top end...my bike doesnt know the number above 102kmph.....
              Maybe its in its blood.
              cheers...

                    • At 1st technician's told me that R15 sprocket won't fit in FZ, but the service manager (Long experience with Yamaha, earlier he was working with Dubai Yamaha ) told me that it will fit without any mods.. Changed both front and rear, chain is same of FZ.

                            • Hey Ranjith, Thanks for the info. Trying my best to cross 1k asap. Is there anything I can do to make sure nothing's wrong otherwise with the gear assembly. Sorry if I sound a bit Paranoid but the change from smoothness to notchy was too abrupt, Hence the question.
                              Everyone falls down, doesn't matter...
                              But its how fast you get up, that matters.....
