            what issue? are you sure that is not mud or something else sticking to it? clean it properly and check again.

                        What is the issue with your bike?

                        i dont have one i have many
                        my bike backfires i told them they said its normal
                        my backlight remains on as soon as i switch on the bike
                        my paint is peeling of and its rusting even though i have taken utmost care and cover it always as well as park it under a small roof
                        my leg break keeps geting loose and dosent work properly
                        my both side mirrors keep geting loose and move with the wind
                        my feul indicatos is always wrong
                        ( my headlights also developed black spots which i managed 2 get changed after three months and going there 6 - 7 times)
                        even the sides of the handle bars have lost their colour
                        gear shifting is quite hard and sometime dosent shift when i start the bike and put in 1 st
                        i even feel the shock absobers are not as good as they used 2 be
                        front tire looses air pressure damn quickly it became 16 in a month and 20 22 respectively ( i checked for a punture) but this might be due to the bad roads

                        i dont mind facing problems but the fact is this bike costs much more then normal 150 cc segment bikes so i believed yamaha gave quality
                        i have a red fazer by the way

                          my backlight remains on as soon as i switch on the bike

                          it is supposed to remain on always


                          my paint is peeling of and its rusting even though i have taken utmost care
                          and cover it always as well as park it under a small roof
                          it might have started with a minor scratch and turned into this try using wd40 to remove the rsut and then repaint it, for getting the original fz paint try Com-Paint Touchup Spray Paint, aerosol spray paint, supplier of spray paint,spray, spray paint, touchup, touch-up, aerosol spray paint manufacturers, spray paint,Touchup, Touch-up Spray, Spray Bottle, aerosol spray paint manufacturer, com-paint manuf

                          my leg break keeps geting loose and dosent work properly

                          chk it out with other bikes and see if there is any difference if their is try getting the pads changed or may just tighten the small nut beside the swing arm

                          my both side mirrors keep geting loose and move with the wind

                          after tightening the mirrors in the groove you will have to tighten the locking nut... if you dont they will loosen up pretty easily


                          my feul indicatos is always wrong

                          get your console replaced it has a warranty for 3 years


                          ( my headlights also developed black spots which i managed 2 get changed after three months and going there 6 - 7 times)

                          even the sides of the handle bars have lost their colour

                          clear sign of color fading due to exposure to sun.... if not wax them properly

                          gear shifting is quite hard and sometime dosent shift when i start the bike and put in 1 st

                          i even feel the shock absobers are not as good as they used 2 be

                          depends on the road conditions...
                          get the level of oil chkd in them

                          front tire looses air pressure damn quickly it became 16 in a month and 20 22 respectively ( i checked for a punture) but this might be due to the bad roads

                          check for rim bents

                          i dont mind facing problems but the fact is this bike costs much more then normal 150 cc segment bikes so i believed yamaha gave quality
                          i have a red fazer by the way

                          the term quality is of subjective nature i dont want to get into it but most of the problems which you are having totally depends on the usage of the vehicle.....

                            the backlight is not supp 2 remain on
                            meanin even when i press the break it dosent get brighter
                            i still have warranty on the bike for another month
                            now say what can i make them at the service station do for me
                            ( ps i dont knw what are rim bents )
                            iv used it very carefully and i will take into notice these solutions but my main query is tht is this supop to happen ??
                            and it was backfiring since the start
                            and i rarely use the leg break as it dosent work properly
                            so what is based on usage ??

                            ( im quite new to all this so plzzz bear with me )

                              not a problem...
                              i thought you were talking about the console backlight... my bad...

                              see the shockers, the rims brakes etc. are all based on usage...
                              you can tell them to chk for rim bents, to check the connection for the brake light, also test drive any other bike for issues on backfiring and rear brakes....

                                Rear brake light switch adjustment might be the issue. Gear problem changes with oil change. Mirror also tightable. Suspension issue may be because of low air. They will address these at next service.

                                Fuel gauge wrong in almost every FZ.

                                Bent rims means bent alloy. Loss in pressure can be due to bend, poorly seated wheels, faulty valve or even pinpoint puncture.

                                Which all parts rusting, which all flaking paint? The handle side end is cheap plastic. It turns black quickly. Dark spots inside or outside headlamp???
