dude there might be damage to the valve...the place where the air nosel fits...this can also be a cause of air pressure loss...check that too...

Thanks for the tip k2cool. As JD said and took it to a tire repair shop nearby and inflated it to around 40 PSI. They couldnt find any leaks with it. But by evening it was again losing air. So I finally took it back to service and told them that I am not taking my bike back unless you fix it. They called me a couple of hours after that and said that there is a slow leak, and the tire is not sealing properly. They said they'll fix it tomorrow morning. I confess that I am clueless as far as tubeless tires are concerned. Nevertheless I am planning to go tomorrow morning and see what they are gonna do with it.

I don't know 'bout you guys.....but I think that the pillon seat for the FZ16 sucks!! My friend has a fuzzy and sometimes I hitch a ride with him after my classes. It's a 1 hr ride to my place during which my ass gets so sore that I have to literally get off the bike and stand a while....I have to do this on red-light stops as apparently the rider's seat is very comfy and my friend doesn't have any sortta problem in riding the fuzzy for longish periods.

I ask why did yamaha give the fuzzy a pillion seat that could only do good to a bicycle!!

yes Parth FZ's pillion seat is uncomfortable but not as bad as you feel!
some weighing around 60 kgs wont have much of a prob. and yes the riders seat is comfortable!

Hi, guys i bought my fz 6 months back , she has done 6k and i get a mileage around 43 to 44. I was all happy till last month , the engine gives vibes even at 30 i literally fell im riding a tractor . Forget smooth when i keep my bike idle it sounds like it will break down , i went to service centre they told my engine valve had some problem and they wud fix it and charged me 400 bucks and i must say it still a tractor please help me

this is done so that plp dont hitch a ride on the fz ,and to deter plp from riding pillion ,fz is meant only for 1 guy & a chick .
my friend from the US told me that 2 guys on a bike riding together there will be gays only

that means that there is some issue with the tyre wall and the rim.. if there is any leak around the rim area, you can get your tyre replaced under warranty for improper bead seating.

its a city sports commuter... not meant to be sat on pillion for more than 1 hour!!!

Get your tappets adjusted, that will reduce the vibration. Also change from mineral oil to semi synth ( there are two oils sold by yamaha, one is the 185 Rs / litre bottle one, and the other is the 412 or something , go for the 412 Rs oil, if not already done so )


lol.. good one!

Well thats ot true i saw many engines that are giving just tripler or 4 times the power than stock one.

would just like to clarify myself..do you mean like an engine generating around 30bhp is capable of producing 90-120bhp ? That too without Nos or Turbo chargers..?
What I am refering to is without external assistance...can you please give me some details of the engines ..like how they do it...?we would certainly like to try a few tweaks on our rides aswell

I hope all fz owners do write in their ownership experience

gr8 experience and good writing.....
if you use a bag almost daily then to protect your tank from scratches you can either go for tankpads local ones cost arnd 125-150 rs or a tank bra from yamaha itself that costs arnd 350rs (if i am not wrong)....
these things will cover up the scratches, improve the looks and also will prevent the tank from any further scratches....

Today is my bike's first birthday....

The yamaha guys called me today morning and told the it indeed is problem with the tyre as it isnt sealing properly. They sent it to MRF and the bike is back. Couldn't get it today as I forgot to take my helmet to work. Dunno if they replaced the tire or they did some fixing. Keeping my fingers crossed! Will let u guys know tomorrow.

And regarding that semi-synth oil, my bike has completed just 1.6k kms. Can I change it now ? I've read it somewhere here itself that its better not to change to full-synth till 5-6k kms. I wanna do this because now I feel the bike is not as smooth as it was for the first 300-400 km after the service. Hopefully semi-synth should do better. Or probably i've got it all wrong

Congrats bro. Shouldn't you be calling it your first anniversary?
