        • The paint on the muffler is very prone to getting scratched, either get it touched up if you have a good cheap painter at your disposal, or else get it permanently stickered!

              vibrations can be caused due to a lot of reasons...low tyre pressure...or even due to wearing out of bearings...were the vibes located towards the front end or rear??

              secondly ur oil seal of the fork is gone ...get it replaced as soon as possible...the leaking oil sometimes leads to the front brake being inoperable which may lead to accidents...

                  • ^^ cant say about the vibrations right away, but oil coming out is a leaking oil seal, replace and change oil.

                    • Sad to see that nobody except me celebrated last week as fuel conservation week. Anyway I did and I got a mileage of 47kmpl . This is in the busy cities and the tuning was set to give maximum power. ( I asked the SVC ). So some points are
                      1. After service, unless you ask them, the SVC guys turn the tuning to full power and less mileage. or maximum near to power in fz.
                      2. So even with full power a mileage of 47 in cities is great

                      So if I were to tune the bike (myself as I know a thing or two about tuning, I also have a detailed manual on tuning ( in simple steps.)),
                      If I were to take a long ride on a highway, in economy mode, is there any chance for me to get a mileage of 60 plus?
                      ( I want to be the first fz 16 owner to get a 60 plus mileage. )

                      I may look weird to you all, trying to squeeze maximum mileage from a performance monster like fz 16, but still I want changes. )

                      Has anybody tried self tuning before? Also has anyone fitted a kick starter? Please comment on this

                            Hail vinchel. Amazing figures you've posted. I'm still on my half tank. Will update when that completes... Though I'm sure to be in the low 30s...

                              Hey guys. Guess what I stumbled upon. Yamaha accessory list for the FZ. They've got the seat cover and LED lights and stuff. Believe it or not the term for the tank cover is the tank bra. Cant attach the pdf here. Check it out at the below link:


                              If some one can tell me the price list (very low resolution) that will be helpful.
