What is the maximum ever recorded mileage for the fz 16? In city and highway?
I have heard that some bikes like the pulsar 180 ug 2 sometimes exhibited abnormally high mileages of 73 and 75kmpl. So does 150cc bikes like the Gs 150r and cbz. So whats the idea behind this extra high mileage?
Any chance to get our fz's to this level in mileage?

Well, this guy with a silver FZ-S at the SVC station told me he's getting 68kmpl on the highway. I donno whether he's gasing me up. I have got a record high of 52kmpl during the run-in period of the bike. After that its been downhill, now i'm getting 38-40 max(power tuned).

Also, when did you change the Oil?? The Engine is oil is also used to lubricate the gears. High revving would have degraded the quality of the oil. You can try that also.

Oh thanks alot. And besides, i have been using motul for sometime, and last service i completly forgot to tell them not to change the oil, so they used yamalube. That must be the problem.

Could you let me know what MOTUL oil you are using? is it 300V FL 10W40 or something else.

Thanks.

fazer

i know this is an FZ-16 forum but since i couldnt find any such forum for fazer, im posting my queries here.
i recently bought my fazer (and im lovin it

) . now the thing is, the twin headlights do not get switched on together. one of them has been designed form low beam, the other one for high beam. Has any you guys tried to get both the lights working at the same time? i mean i spoke to the yamaha showroom guys and they said they wouldnt be able to do it from their end.

dont do this as that will cause warranty lapse

secondly try to keep that switch in between and it may help to switch on both the lights some people are doing this to switch on both the lights

first of all congrts on your purchase and secondly this a FZ+FAZER thread

i suggest you dont use both the headlamps together since FAZER already have dual horns,it might take a toll on the batt,instead change the low beam to OSRAM nightbraker 55w!

**perestroika** · 01-22-2010, 06:08 PM

ok...what abt the speed limit during running-in. someone told me not to speed the bike above 40.

**pali** · 01-22-2010, 06:28 PM

@above..
congrats on the new beast

the speed is at 4.5k in 5th gear is approx around 55-60..but you have to keep in mind that rpm is the one to check not speed..
Ps: this is the forum for fz16,fz-s and fazer combined due to the similarities b/w the machines..

Last month I changed the front fork oil seal for my FZs n the oil leakage stopped.... unfortunately now in a month time, the leakage has begun... I bought this 6 month old bike second hand so dont know if the service guys didnt put the seal properly or is there a possibility that the shock is damaged???

I do agree with k2cool anyways , didn't really get the bike for it's mileage now , did we ? the high mileage on those bikes maybe due to the skinnier rear tire and some tuning .

Good for you. 56kmpl on the highways. I shall try hard and break your record. I can tell u its hard to drive the bike in economy with 45-50km speed. Everytime I see another bike overtaking, the testosterone in the bike goes up and the bike "talks" to me : Let's take this one out."/ I used to be a good guy earlier with my Hero honda pleasure scooter always driving at 45km minus. But then fz 16 came and now I can say that my minimum speed is 70 and economy speed 80.

**umeshkumawatsa** · 01-22-2010, 08:19 PM

Nice average nand and also Vinchel be alert when u drive at that speed as by doing this u will reduce the chances of your accidents. For my end i don't know when that day will come when my bike will touch the mileage of 40km/l and my driving style is moderate 40 to 60 km/h
