hey guys where can i buy a good bright white headlight bulb for my bike...the one i have is white but not bright.the beam is not even hitting the road..i need a good branded white light...where do i find one in chennai???

May be ...but I had to down shift ...quite often...unlike with RTR160.
It has the best in class low end torque...but somehow I feel...you have to change the gears pretty fast. So whats the use of low end torque ?

Are you talking about riding with a pillion or alone??
I've rode ghats alone and its better than pulsars but what I was talking about was with pillion it dies to go up...

PS... It might also depend upon the steepness of the ghats you do...

Pardon me for Multiquoting a lot of guys... Just adding my 2 cents.
FZ has the best in-class (including RTR FI) torque. On paper of course. You guys have to realize that it also has another superlative feature. Widest tyre (not only in its class but amongst all bikes, no SBKs plz). Now the torque would be used to overcome that huge contact with the road.

Here's my take on it as an FZ16 owner. I weigh around 52 kgs. So that in itself gives a lot of respite to the 150 and a lil' more cc 'monster'.

It's a killer in the 5-7000 rpm range, but picks up quite well in the lower rpm band too. The good amount of torque is better substantiated because of the less number of gear shifts when fluctuating between low and high speeds. Dint have so much of an issue when riding uphill. In fact i felt it to be much better than my pulsar 150cc classic.

As a single rider i've managed about 118 on the speedo. There after my wish to squeeze more out of it, ran out and so did the necessary empty distance.

Now with a pillion who weighs around 65 kg: The bike felt like the pillion weighed as much as Shrek(Assuming shrek weighs a lot) and was struggling to pull itself ahead in the 3-5k rpm range. After that it was better but not good enough. And the speedometer forgot counting beyond 105 even with full throttle. I guess if I shifted late, it would have helped. Yet to try that out.

So yes, the small rear seat is a sort of implication that the bike is more happy when ridden single. The engine kind of re affirms this. But it will still be my choice for city rides and single rider highway sprints. I'll leave it to the bigger cc bikes to honor themselves with highway sprints with a pillion.

OSRAM Nighbrakers are good,but they are not completely white and high beam isnt great!

Hi guys,
I'v been riding my LE FZ 16 since last 2 months & ever since 1st week of my purchase, i had been noticing a slight wobbling in my rear wheel which can be easily noticed on turns at speeds above 40 kmph.. I showed my rear wheel to 3 yamaha outlets & they said its an issue with my MRF tyre not the alloy rims. So i was guided 2 a MRF engineer today who inspected my bike's rear tyre thoroughly, took some pics & checked d wear & tear of my tyre. He said he'll forward d inspection report 2 higher authorities who will take a decision if my tyre has 2 be replaced or not & this process will tak 3 days. I asked 4 his personal opinion on the tyre & he said d tyre is fine but there may b problems with the rear wheel assembly or something else. So I'm asking u guys what shud b my next step if MRF rejects d case, coz I hav no option left since Yamaha has already blamed d issue is with MRF tyre. Please guide me guys coz my rear wheel is realy in bad shape & it wobbles by more then 2 cm & can be easily noticed.

im planning on a DIY twin projector on my FZ....im going to start searching for a damaged reflector frm now on!

Oh, me also doing the same mods on my bike... just got a Skoda laura projector from my friend. Now searching for a Skoda fog lamp projector, small one....

same problem when i had my fz...its the rim dude...your rim has a bend...just keep in middle stand and place your thumb on the outer rim slightly grazing it..the bottom of your thumb should act as a pivot...keep it in 1st gear and if any bend is there your thumb will budge slightly...check on both sides...if not the rims then the tyre really has a problem..if you are from hyderabad i can give you some contact no to speed up the process
