  • one thing I feel bad is, the 2nd and 3rd gears are very short... I often find myself changing between 2, 3 and 4 in traffic -- very irritating-- when I am supposed to be a Lord of the street!

    • The bike zone mechanic I know advised me NOT to use power/speed petrols during run-in period. He said they produce higher temperatures which is not very good for engine during run-in period. I am sticking to simple un-leaded petrol for sometime...

        The gold colored parts look quite classy, but putting all of them on one bike will be like wearing gold rings on all 10 fingers. Just the brake and clutch levers will look cool

            • Hey guys can you please answer the question below

              can that number plate be removed from it's head to between head and tire ?

              how much it will cost to get a better looking headlight for it ?

              • Krates : I think the current headlight looks fantastic. Any road side mechanic will remove the front number plate for you.
                You can have the registration number stickered on the front mud-guard

                  Agree with you on the headlight... its cool!

                  Do you have any pics regarding the stickering on front mud guard? I have the same dilemma... I dont think front mudguard is a good place....

                      The brake & clutch lever in GOLD will look good only on an R E.

                        • some times the gear lever only moves (like spring) but does not fall in gear end up getting confused witch gear i am in .
                          ALSO sometimes while the bike is stopped fully in signal ,gear does not fall in to 1st from 2nd. is this my bikes problem or this is typical yamaha gearbox

                              • the question of mileage has come up so many times. and i was waiting for this day untill i got my friends FZ16 2nd service done.

                                i ask all those who own FZ16 and try to rule the road from the day the got their hands on FZ16... whats the speed u drove before the first service and whats the speed u drove after the first service.

                                the average speed before 1st service should be not more than 55kmph. and even if u do exceed 55kmp, u should vary the speed such that u dont put pressure on the engine. and after 1st service.. its a limit of 75kmp.

                                my friend maintained the same and now he is getting 55kmpl!! now he and me drive in high speed but still dont find much drop in the mileage. and that what the technician said at the pearl yamaha!!

                                and one more thing....

                                the upgrades for FZ16 r to be released on 3rd Feb. could get more info other than that there r air intake systems, brake calpers, handle clips and foot rests. there might be more he said. lets hope they have engine upgrades also.
