    Difficult to get hands on any MRF. Most of them don't have them.

    Any other option??

    Cold engine.
    You don't need to fiddle with anything, just find the leak and replace the part responsible.

    YouTube search WD40 Intake Leak and do some research before getting your hands dirty.

    Guys, help me out with tire choices. Currently on MRF Revz - M and the tire is absolute dead and needs immediate replacement.

    Have seen following options:

    Ceat Zoom XL - 140 / 70 17
    MRF Revz - 140 / 60 17
    Ralco - 140 / 70 17
    Michelin City Pro - 140 / 70 17
    Michelin PSR - 140 / 70 17 (out of budget)

    Any reviews on above mentioned tires shall be helpful.

    Not many options are available with tire dealers and most of them these options only. MRF FC1 / MRF FC wasn't available with anybody here in Mumbai.

    Do a WD40 test to determine where the leak is at and replace component.

    Yes, fz has far better refinement than hornet.

I have changed my accelerator cable about a year ago and the accelerator cable is completely fine & has normal play.
    When the engine is cold the fall from 3k rpm to idle is faster compared to warm engine. What can be the possible reason for this issue?

    Question here are
    How is the reliability of the bike, can i keep it at least for next 3-4 years.
    How is the low end torque of the bike, does it have enough pulling power, i usually drive in the speed range around 60-80
    Does the bike develop any issues, after clocking 20k kms.
    What are the flaws in the dual disk version of the bike.
    How is the service experience from the Yamaha dealerships.
    Surely you can go for the dual disk version.
    I have an fz V2 4 years old with 30k odo.meter.

    Apart from regular wear and tear with regular service. No other issues face till date.

    Major parts replaced are - chain speaker and back tyre.

    Bike is reliable at any condition or environment

    Yeah, it is like everywhere. Buy anything with cc and pay extra percentage.
    While rest of the world pays moneyback/discounts on cc purchases, in india the buyer pays the penalty
    Thanks btw

    Thinking to buy fz s, as price is good in 150cc category.
    Also, since all of you are very experienced with this motrocycle here- what are the major issues with the bike, if any
    And, since it doesnt have a kick start, does the electric start give trouble. I live in high altitude where temperature gets very low in winters. Avenger 220cc gave me lot trouble or mostly didnt start at all. Thanks
    FI engines start trouble free in almost any surroundings , provided proper and timely maintainence.
