IIRC a light brown is the correct colour, Black is bad. Not too sure. Please check it out online. Will update if I find any thing.

    Now getting really paranoid, Check out the air filter too for any blockages.
    Bloody hell. Getting senile. The colour is explained in the Manual itself. Check out page 6-7.
    Everyone falls down, doesn't matter...
    But its how fast you get up, that matters.....

      Since it's (b), it's definitely not a vacum lock problem.

      It's probably a problem with the carburettor. Less likely but still possible is a problem with the ignition coil. Have your mechanic check them.

      The starter motor could be faulty. Get it checked by the mechanic.

        A bit more info is there @573, copy pasting here again!
        ....a *beeeep* sound is coming (like R15 start-up) when the self start is pressed for long!

        The carb was checked during my bike's servicing, and they have cleaned it thoroughly! Maybe its a faulty starter motor! Will be visiting Yamaha showroom tomorrow.

          Yes. the servicing had been done at 9500 on the ODO..
          Checked out the spark plug...the colour was an uneven brown......

          Maybe as you say it can be the air filter too....
          I think i will have to ask the SVC ppl to clean the carb too.....
          Will be going to the SVC in about 3 days time....
          thnx....

              So you agree that the tech exists, furthermore you are aptly aware of it's presence. As to the sealants not being used widely in the sports, touring, off-roading, commuting or racing arena - I totally agree!. BUT, I guess if they can be used on commercial warehouse mobility equipment, which are made for very high lifting power and durability, it's worth trying on a commuter (when it's eventually offered by reputed manufacturers... of course). I think we can agree on that.

                I was not aware that tyre sealants were used in a warehouse vehicle application. But note that the operating conditions for such vehicles is completely different from ordinary road usage in terms of speeds, loads, road conditions, impacts, lateral loads, temperatures, humidity/rain, etc. IMO, if a sealant technology that meets most if not all the demands of vehicle users existed, it would have already been available in the market.

                But I do agree with you that if a proven product were available it would definitely be worth using.

                    Guys.. I have another confusion. Today I went to check out engine oils. One guy said 15W40 Petronas was INR 500, Motul was 890 odd. At another shop, Motul 15W50 was INR 450, and the shopkeeper said its great for FZ (I told him it was for an FZ) and now I am confused.

                    Why is there such a huge difference in the price of Motul oil? A change of grade results in doubling of the price? Please suggest which one I should go for.

                      the 450 one is semi syth, and the 890 one is fully synth. look closely at the packaging next time.


                      My offerings to the gods of speed -

                      - KTM Duke 200
                      - Yamaha RXZ 5 speed

                        The text was in French for the 450 one and the only thing it said on the pack was "Technosynthetice" or something .. that was in French too. Thanks for the info.

                        But the bottom line is that W50 is a no-no for FZ's right?

                          Either go for the Petronas which wud be 10W40 or go for the Motul if u happen to get your hands on the xxW40....

                          dont go for the xxW50 one as its not advisable as also now that the rains will hit Pune sooner than later.....
                          Think and decide....cheers....

                              Greetings!

                              I own a Gladiator SS and i have a query for all the Bangalore FZ owners regarding the service and customer handling at the MSP Moto World dealership, Banashankari.

                              I usually get my bike serviced at Bangalore Wheels and am satisfied by the quality of work done there. This time, recently, it was my bike's 1st bonus free service and went to MSP as it's on the way to my college. I had missed one of my bike's earlier free services and due to this, the service guy at MSP refused to accept the bonus free service, stating that they maintain a record of all the bikes' services and if some service is skipped, there will be problems n other nonsense. Bottom line, he wanted money. I knew he was bullsh*tting me so i promptly went to Bangalore Wheels where the bonus free service was taken into consideration and everything was peaceful.

                              Have any of you FZ owners experienced similar issues at MSP MW particularly or any other dealerships?
                              Right now, 11 Bhp at 7500 Rpm.
