Mileage
I am re-trying to calculate the mileage (post 2nd service)Originally posted by leadpb View PostIn the user manual it did not mention anything to be maintained after the 1st service. I was maintaining 45 KMPH as the max speed before the 1st, after the 1st, I did not really care. Now the mileage I am getting is 35 KMPL
Any ideas what can be done to improve on this ??
Bike has run approx 4K Kms
Fuel : 5L Speed to Reserve
Speed Maintained : 50-60 KMPH
KMs run : 222.6 KMs
Mileage comes out to be -> 44.52 KMPL
Now, I am trying to do the same thing with maintaining speed from 70-80 KMPH.Last edited by leadpb; 02-07-2009, 10:38 AM.Comment

Bharat Petroleum "normal" fuel seems to be doing the trick. i really dont know how many FZ owners opt for high octane. but i felt it quite a bit when used Speed and Power. no issues with the normal fuel from BP. these are the only guys i get fuel from. HP normal i think it will be ok. but then again. i am guessing it varies from one owner to another.Originally posted by anirudh fz1 View Post

I use HP Power petrol and unleaded petrol from the same HP in 1:1 ratio for my fz16...
its going smooth! covered 630km till date... and 1wk more for the 1st service.
Thinking of getting a HID lamp fixed... is it going to void the warranty? will it drain the battery fast?_____________________________________________

Rear Tyre air pressure in FZ-16????
Hello All Xbhpians,
I am a very new member of Xbhp,
I can feel the warmth of Xbhp here,
I recently owned Yamaha Fz-16,and i have a confusion Regarding rear Tyre air pressure,
when i got the bike from showroom, the rear tyre has 50 psi air,
but in owner's manual they mentioned it to be 33psi
,
which is very low (i think),
Right now i filled 40 psi there, but i am really confused with the recommended air pressure
....
please guide me to get the right air pressure for rear tyre...
Thanks and Regards....

Life with FZ-16
Hello Guys...
Today, I will post U about my Love-Life with FZ. I suggest the owners FZ to post their Pros & Cons with your bikes as well. It will be of great help to each others in finding out any particular problems coming our ways.
I took delivery of my FZ on 27 Oct '08 & my love affair started ever since then. It has been a very great experience & also a very good choice in putting my money on a Yamaha bike bcoz my earlier bikes were P-150 in Aug'03 & P-180 in June'06. I had p-180 as well as ZMA-R which I bought in Feb'08. I still have ZMA-R & this FZ also. Earlier, I was hugely confused between RTR-Fi & FZ bcoz both bikes dealers were telling me "40-45days for delivery + 50% amount in advance" ...I was very much upset bcoz these bike manufactures are taking our money in advance & then producing bike for us in period of 40days!!!! Anyhow, I got my FZ after a waiting of 36 days & I was 5th person in Hyderabad to own this bike as told by Venkatesa Motors. Where ever I was passing by.... Evil-Eyes were seeing like this
FZ was & is an absolute feast for bikers eyes I say, bcoz it has changed the whole biking scenario with tag-team partner R-15. Till date...my FZ has clocked almost 3000kms & what I have achieved till date is.....
* Complete peace of Mind in buying FZ & not buying RTR-Fi
* FZ itself is a tread-setter in today's market scene
* Huge applauds & many many Evil-eyed looks on bike
* A brilliant piece of machinery
Its been only once or twice that I have clocked speeds over 100, once was 109 & sometimes later was 116 bcoz (I'm sure it can go further) my friend was asking me to show how much it can run at.... I'm sure many of U who owns it have crossed above 115kmph also, I will test my last limit someday when I will go crazy to rip it to its last heart-beat.
Mileage is coming a regular 40-42kmpl, once in between I got 48kmpl immediately after my 1st service, last week only I have done its 2nd service also & haven't checked it mileage yet. Not even a single hassle I have got in my FZ till today, lets see after 10k odo reading if it will keep things clean-n-clear as it is today.
' Happy Valentine's Day to all '
Best Regards,
m6

Even I got mine with 40 psi from showroom.Originally posted by Anjit_Sharma View PostHello All Xbhpians,

Get the pressures to the manual specified, they are really good. The bike glides with 28 and 33 psi. I even suggest you to get the 32psi for the rear tire... thats what I use. Its even better...
And any body, pls suggest me on HID. DId anyone got one on their Lord?
