By bumper you mean the crash guard I guess, yes go for that. I don't think you need anything else. No need of teflon coating either.

Isn't the crash guard about 500rs ? look through this thread for more info on different types of crash guard available and then take a call ... SVC's are bound to overcharge , can't you get it outside yourself ?

Guys today i took my bike for servicing and the supervisor of SVC said i am eligible for a free odo meter replacement which yamaha offer for a specified model of FZ. They do it by looking the chassis no, i don't know which models are eligible, pls check it with SVC. Along with the odo there are some other parts for replacement also...

Guys get to the nearest SVC now

Mine has clocked 27240kms... it was good at upto 26000kms... its upto the riding style and how one cleans and lubes the chain. mainly depends on the usage...

@ankit how much kms does it clocked?

whats your ODO reading ?

**RoadZilla** · 07-20-2010, 01:12 PM

Near about 17K...... Well I did clean and lubed the chain on time.. I wonder why this diff? The Sprocket and chain's outta stock from last 1 month... any idea howdya get it?

The SVC has warned me that the chain can snap anytime now... HELL NO!

**nand15** · 07-20-2010, 01:18 PM

It is relatively early ,but my friends went bust at 10K .... that time the SVC replaced it ... they generally say "no stock" but wen u drop it off for service , magically stocks will appear !

17K is not bad, when i asked SVC they told the company claims 15K for the open chain... if its in bad condition replace it full(front & rear sprockets, chain)... i had given it for replacement today... don't know the availability of it in pune, here's it is available now(kerala).

Done that twice... been following up the SVC from last 15 days...

Nevertheless , anyways tell me which chain lube do you guys use... the MOTUL one that comes for somewhere 400INR or the Yamahalube one that is around 1300 INR.

I am planning to get one.The Yamahalube one contains a chain cleaner and a Chain lube whereas the Motul ones just lube.

Moreover the Yamahalube one is white and more greasy and sticks on the chain f or a longer period.

No its not available here.I had enquired the Factory Showroom and SVC. I am planning to tweak the sprockets a little now.The front sprocket is 13 teeth...Planning to increase it to 14 teeth.This will increase performance by 14%.Increase the top speed....one of my friend does this customization.Would the warranty void because of this ?

Motul has a Chain cleaner and a chain lube too...
I doubt if Yamahalube has cleaning function also!

**nand15** · 07-20-2010, 01:24 PM

you can get motul chain clean and lube for 900rs ... haven't tried yamalube so can't comment on it ... I use plain old kerosene to clean the chain and only the lube is motul ... i heard kerosene has the least damaging effect on the o-rings ...

well if yamalube is more greasy then it will attract more dirt which would then mean more cleaning required , the best one is dry-lube , but thats insanely expensive at 1.3 or 1.4k per bottle ...

Abey! Read carefully, I responded to what you said.

Motul has BOTH chain lube and chain clean as two different products

Yamahalube is BETTER but is NOT for cleaning, but for LUBING!

ya motul is the best chain clean and lube available... but guys cleaning the chain using kerosine/shampoo is more than enough and applying SAE 140 gear oil from penzoil/MAK is also good and VFM... i have been using it since i bought my bike and i got chain life of 27K+
spending 900RS is way too much...

yup the front sprocket is 14 teeth .... I spent about 450rs on the lube as I didn't know about SAE140 gear oil at the time , but motul has lasted me more than a year , I clean and lube at 500km interval , so i think it's okay
