    Hii....
    I got my Fazer s 2nd service done today... on1222 kms...
    This time I opted for 15-50 W Yamahalube Semi Synth Engine Oil...Rs,415
    But unlike after my 1st service (230) I don feel any change in d smoothness...
    Last time (after 1st service,) I could really feel the smoothness,,, after changing the engine oil...

    Y is itt so?? Or is it gonna take some time (few km s of run) as this time the oil is differnt..............



    2.Another thing is tt the Head Of workshop suggested me to remove the engine plate (one which was added by me after the purchase to prevent the engine from dirt and water...
    He told tat Yamaha bikes has an aerodynamic design to collect the cool air and send it to the base of the engine,,, while the plate blocks it.. So in this way THERE WILL BE AN INCREASE IN THE ENGINE SOUND...
    Is it so????
    Buy a 1 litre bottle of mineral oil 20W40, take your bike to a reputed workshop & change your Fazer's oil coz as far as I know Yamaha SVC won't allow you to put engine oil other then Yamalube. One should only use semi-synthetic after completing 3000 Kms.

      .....my bike is about a year and a half old.......it has been standing unused for 9 days....(my preparatory leave is going on....the horn and lights are working perfectly well...that's why i am confused whether the battery is the culprit...still will get it checked.....can there be any other problem??

        same here bro. this also ensures that the lights dont go kaput( my leds did some months ago.)

        I also had a similar problem when my bike was kept unused for a week.
        the starting problem generally occurs for a cold start(in the morning or night when temperatures are low.)
        the wiring or the battery can also be faulty....

          Just before giving it to service, get it written in service card "no oil change", at the time of taking delivery give them any suitable 1 liter engine oil, they will change it and give the bike. SVC dont have any issues if you want to put different engine oil, Atleast at my svc Panchee in bangalore.

            the horn and lights will work fine even if the battery charge has dropped but since the starter require more power and voltage it fails to crank the engine.... your problem is nothing but discharge of the battery try running it for a couple of kms and once it gets charged you will be fine...

                                +1 to what kinshuk said. I've never used Amaron personally, but I've read good reviews about it. Their maintenance free battery is supposed to be good. Bosch and Exide are good alternatives too. But I honestly dont understand why Yamaha didnt put Bosch batteries in the first place. They got their brakes after all.
