    Hey guys,

    Got a brain teaser for you. The SZ is the exact same engine as the FZ. Same bore and stroke lengths and there fore same displacement. But how is that rated for such a low torque and power? (12 vs FZ's 14)

    Surely carb adjustment cannot contribute to such a drop in power.

    What else could have changed??
    a detuned carb is what they are claiming. it is set for more mileage. good for the people i say.. to own a powerful commuter (comparing to 125cc bikes here) with the yamaha name

      Things that convinced me it was fake.

      1. Absolutely no vibrations or shaking. No indian road would result in that.
      2. Phenomenal acceleration. Donno if there are any performance kits put in, but in any case that acceleration is too high to believe.
      3. And this is what clinched it. In the top right hand corner u can see other vehicles. Even at 130+kmph I see 800s ahead of the bike. From personal experience I can tell you even though 800s can touch 130 no one can stay at speed for a long time coz the steering wheel will vibe your bones out of u.
      Even if it was put in a moving vehicle and revved in the 5th gear, the speedo registers the speed of the front wheel, and not the rear, and of course, the chain drives the rear wheel, not the front. So pull off a fake like this would take some doing.

      Hmm... also notice the guy putting his hand on the speedo to shield it from sunlight so that the reading on the speedo is seen clearly in the cam. This is probably fake.. but the guy has taken a lot of effort to prove otherwise

        that would mean if we put the carb of sz to performance mode than its power will be comparable to fz??

        • Proposition for anyone with a Silver FZ-S in Mumbai

          I'm looking for the black battery covers (where 'Yamaha' is written) which you have. I have silver ones and I think silver ones would look better on the silver FZ-S whereas I would like black ones. If ANYONE is interested in swapping, PM me.

                      I think its fake or maybe he has installed the fz-console on another bike.( I think so it can be done.)

                        hey Samarth, you can use Formula 1 (CARNAUBA CAR WAX). Its amazing and will give your bike a showroom look.

                          LOL a guy offered me that same wax yesterday but I thought it looked very suspicious so I didn't buy!

                          BTW can anyone explain the difference, if any, between polish and wax?
