Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Yeah but does it worth 1.2 k?

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Even in your side by side comparison, the visibility is far better with more you can see in the dark than the picture with the halogen.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Well I see a huge difference between a 35w halogen and a 35w led. LED throws light farther than the halogen, try to get it focused properly!

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Guys anyone here using Aftermarket Spark plugs
Like those of
Iridium spark plugs and Bosch twin head plugs.....!

I'm worrying about FI engine.

Please share your experience on this.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Comparison nao h4 led 36 watt 4k lumen and stock bulb. Total waste of money, if in earlier post the one who shared this led has posted both side by side it would have saved me 1200 rs. Don't go for them it is same as stock.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

IS anyone here sure about which FI System Fazer FI uses.Could it be some mikuni make as my older yamaha rx also uses mikuni carb.I have been searching long for this BUT to no avail.Also please someone clear my queries i made my last post above.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Yeah i've ridden 40k kms after damaged engine. It started emitting smoke after second or third service only.

And one more thing i need to ask gear shifter now feels springy,for eg. When i shift gear down it take time to comeback to original position same is for upshift.

Is it normal if petrol comes inside air filter chamber, beneath air filter.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

If you have ridden more after piston damage, go for crank shaft inspection and replacement. Piston directly connected to crank and there are high chances, it could have issues, if you have ridden more with damaged engine.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

From what i have learned ,For break in mineral oil is preferred as it is less slippery than full synthetic like 300V.I have only used Yamalube recommended by the Yamaha till now.

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

Thanks.
There are some other minor problems too
1)Ignition steel Keyhole cap is loose in my bike,water kind of jams it in rainy season so have to lube it every couple of days.is there a way to get it fixed,or changing all three locks, i.e ignition,tank cap and rear seat lock, is only way.??

2)On road speed breakers the chassis/silencer make a khat" sound.

3) Chain is at its full tension just after 21k kms,My elder brothers CD Dawn chain goes upto 40k(Not complaining ,just a thought.)

4)Light throw is not good,It is good if you use low beam + Passing light or just hold the high beam switch midway.

5)Silencer started to Rust.

6)Not really a problem but i have not yet got my bike's FI cleaned, though it is recommended at 6000kms by Yamaha(ODO 21000+kms), as the service centre guys don't have equipment for it .Will go to Lucknow to get it done if it is necessary.My bike has same decent mileage of 40-50 as it was earlier.

Other than that my ride has never made me worry about anything.I have kept my bike stock.All servicings on time except once i kept it running for 6k+without a mobil change and it still didn't ask for servicing.Upto now i have not changed anything in bike except Lubricant and oil/Airfilter.

PS:Is there a dedicated Fazer Ownership thread.?

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Finally after very long time i'm going for engine overhaul.
My bike has covered almost 45k, out of which 40k was after piston kit went kaput. How can i tell that, white smoke on hard reving. I kept engine oil above min level all the time by topping it up.
Now i'm confused between full engine work and half engine work. While some mechanic is saying for full others are saying full will be redundant as my bike is not making any weird noise. Full engine work will cost around 13k and half around 8k. Please suggest which one should i choose and for break in period should i use motul 300 v or any cheap motul oil.

Second thing is my bike's handle feel high on the left even though i have changed it several time. How to fix it.

Third my front wheel has very little bubble or wobble or bent (very very little) can i be corrected or i've to buy new one. I know it's not a spoke wheel but i wanted to ask if they can be repaired. If yes can anyone suggest a good place in delhi to do so.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Take it to the service center, its harmful for the engine to run in low oil.

One reason could be because of oil burning inside. You can check this on your own. Throttle in netural and look out for any smoke, if you see dense black smoke then the oil is burning along with fuel. The primary reason for this could be damaged piston head or seal. Service centre will diagnose and fix it.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Yes the engine will get damaged if one runs without sufficient oil. Get a motorcycle oil from nearby pump/shop, fill up, check level and then go to SVC. May be your bike is losing oil via leaking valve seals or worn rings - that can be determined at SVC. Is there white/blue smoke on racing engine?
