  • Seat Covers

    Need suggestion of a shop/retailer in Mumbai, where i can get good seat cover for me FZ, if with BIIG yamaha logo/logos, even better!!

    The Service center guys were offering mesh seat cover which looks horrible and quoting 1200 bucks for it. i am not bothered about the cash but definitely would want the basic things, cushioning, looks and durability.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Cheers

      Hey,

      here are the technical details of AMCO Battery that i currently have on my FZ:

      Battery Model No. for Yamaha FZ 16: AMCO AB 5 LB

      Length: 121mm, Width: 61mm, Height: 131mm

      Weight: 1.90 Kg, Electrolyte Volume 0.40 ltrs

      Charging Current(Amps): 0.40

      Layout: L


      I think the dimensions should be same for MINDA, Exide or any other battery brands as long as they produce 12 volts and have the similar ampere ratings. Hope this helps

              Are you in Mumbai? This is just outside Milan mall in the same line just down the road... whole bunch of guys selling parts/seat covers/number plates. Haggle with them.

                  I would suggest you to check the Meshed seat cover....its really comfortable for long rides. My cousin has one and I have felt the difference in the comfort difference on between a normal seat and seat with meshed seat cover.

                  Also I agree that its a bit overpriced.

                      i went to the svc and bought some parts to replace:

                      1-spark plug
                      2-air filter
                      3-oil filter

                      and i also changed my oil to motul 5100 semi synth oil.

                      got all the parts and asked my mechanic to change it in front of me.. all this worked for me and now Im in love with my bike all over again.

                      Hope it helps
                      will this really help how much does that oil cost

                          MOTUL 5100 4T 15W50 (i.e. Semi Synthetic) will cost you around 450Rs. Not more than that.

                              • Guys, How can one check the Rims for any bends..?

                                What are the symptoms one can look out for? Do I need to visit the service center to get this checked..?
