I am shocked to witness the prompt and swift response of the Service Engineer at Yamaha!!!! Within 15 mins he acknowledged my problem within 5 mins of complaint registration and he has instructed me when ever I get to the service station again I just have to call him up and my job would be done!!! Amazing....I mean they truly mean customer satisfaction. Not like the stupid dealer!!! He told me that if the Logo blinks then the bike has to have 2 ltrs min and would go on reserve after 10 or 15 kms and if it has logo plus bar blinking it has at least 3 ltrs and would be on mains!! And what response I got from dealer is something they would have to watch out now because I mentioned their response in my compliant.....Thanks guys and way to go Yamaha on service front.

^^ who did u speak to? anurag ( service engineer)

Can anybody help me with what type of chain lube we can use for FZ/ yamalube or Motul ? In the manual it says soap based lubricant. Well when I gave my bike for the first service (at 1k ) ,SVC charged me 450rs .That might be for the semi synthetic oil which I told them to put. I also told SVC to adjust my head light beam but nothing was done.

Good point brought up here...

Head lights!!!

FZ head light sucks bigtime!!!

If I put on High beam, I am not able to see anything... I usually prefer LOW..atleast I can see something.but usually blinded by any traffic coming on opposite side.So i temporarily press PASS so as to have more light.The reflector quality is really bad!

Anyone facing the same problem? What did you do?

^^ you can buy the motul spray cans from them. But i would suggest its cheaper to get it done from there in front of your eyes, around 70 rs for chain clean and lubrication.

Make sure they do the following .

- First wash chain with petrol to remove all muck

- Then blast with water

- Then put chain clean

- and finally chain lube.

Also keep checking the tension of the chain whenever you get the chain cleaned.

+1 on that...they suck big time...the high beam is totally useless....

Its not the reflector the cause of that problem...as i had told u earlier also get the focus of the beam checked..during high beam the focus is somewhere in the clouds() .. so u need to work on that..

Btw, lemme tell u that the FZ's reflector is very good as compared to other bikes(in a 35w headlamp setup)..the illumination is very powerful..

Everyone has this problem.
Best to get a 55w bulb. That'll solve all the problems.

Yesterday went to change my FZ bent rim n wen i told the guy to oil the chain he used oil from an orange tin which seemed to be a recycled oil to me....... had the bike washed n today I saw droplets of water im the head light....will it evaporate???

man..today has been the worst day!
1.while leaving MOM doesn't give me money for bus/auto ...i have to take mine
2.i reach the first at the SVC...gave the bike and started walking back home since i dint want spend my money on bus/auto and it was a cool weather...but then they had to spoil the party...A CROW SHITS ON MY HEAD...ayo kakka thoori so i had to take auto/bus with my money
3.i go back to collect the bike and realize they put the mineral oil!they say sorry sir blah blah and i said ok!befor going inside i checked my bike and noticed it hasnt been cleaned,but 2 mins after i gave the slip they are wiping my bike...i was like wow tht was fast washing!
4.i inspect my bike and realize it was a lousy wash!!!!!and the air inatke stuff is lose!...i asked him to clean again and they did...so my lubed chain got wet....i asked them to lube it again and they said no no problem ...the water wasn't sprayed there!!
5.i fill Nitrogen and come home
6.i myself lubed my the chain at home and when i open the seat i realize tht i have to drink horlicks to open it! it was god damn tight!..i open it now and i cant close it!!!i tried everything!got pissed and went back to the SVC..they check and the PRO says tht they must have lowered tht front hook since it was loose!..i was like it was perfect before....they adjust it but its still tight!
7.when the PRO started my bike,it dint start on the first click!i told him tht i addressed this issue prev serv. but the prob is still there...after a lot of switching on and off he says its a strange and he will check it next serv....i complained tht the service has been disappointing and i will got to SHINRAI YAMAHA next because i know ppl there(i bluffed tht)
8.he gave me his card and asked me to contact him next service!...we exchange story abt my chopped finger and his cousin who also chopped his finger lubing his R15!

now i have to wait 3k kms to pour semi synth!
go for OKS or MOTUL,OKS is cheaper in price.

Hi,

Please use Yamalube as it is much better in quality than the MOTUL one. But nowadays, Yamalube is really out of stock everywhere coz of its lessened supply.

You can adjust the high beam of your bike yourself. I did it too. All you have to do is point the full beam at a wall opposite you and then there is screw just below the headlight scowl on the left side. You can adjust that nut till you reach a point of appropriate brightness by looking at the wall.

AFAIK Yamaha doesnot produce its own lubes... they just outsource.And Yamaha outsources lubes and engine oil from MOTUL.
Its just MOTUL under YamahaLube brand name.

I might be wrong!!!

Sad to hear all this... anyways SVC guys can take the filled mineral oil and refill with the Motul... you can definitely ask them to do that, there's no probs in doing that, coz they can use the same oil for other bikes(which they usually do...)
Do u know one thing... Hilton Autos in TVM once serviced a yamaha bike(alba/gladiator... don't remember exactly)... and gave to the customer, when he rode the bike for few KMs, he didn't find any smoothness in riding, even before the service the bike was fine... he returned to the SVC and told the probs and atlast saw the oil dip stick was missing and found not even a single drop of engine oil is present... them drained the oil and forgot to pour fresh oil... he was F%^ked...
he became mad and said iwill complain this, SVC guys atlast fell on his feet and said sorry...

So Ranjith don't be ashamed to do it... if i was i would definitely replace it... Mind you SVC's guys will take care of a bike as only as a machine...

This is one of the main reason i didn't opt for a ZMA/P220(which i was planning to buy before FZ)... coz both HH and Bajaj SVC's sucks... sucks big times... while reading your post even i can't sit in my seat... coz we don't treat our bikes as thing to travel from point A to point B...
WE LOVE AS OF OUR BELOVED ONES... when i sold my RX100(used 3 1/2 yrs) i couldn't sleep for couple of days... the feeling like some of my body part has gone... TRUE...

@Binoy
the reason i dint want to make an issue is tht,so far they had been providing a good service,i have done all my services there.maybe this is jst a one off issue and after all i had a shitty day!,but next service ill definelty meet tht PRO and ask them to service it front of me...this time i have a reason "you guys fuc*** up last"

I guess they outsource lubes from motul, but the engine oil is only yamalube. Cos i've seen yamalube canisters at the SVC.
