If the sound is too loud, then there could be issue with brake pads, rubber in that brake pad might have come off, since your bike is very new it should not be the case.---------------------

Well 25 and 35 are extremely bad for the FZ, just fill 1 litre of petrol from reserve and check the air pressures, shift up at 4k and down at 2k and ride constantly at 3.5k at 50km/hr and if you are not getting above 40, just visit Indian Motorcycle Reviews & Bike News - **********.in by Deepak Raj and there is a manual for tuning your bike.Originally posted by Yamaha FZ View Post
Better do your tuning yourself lest the svc guys touch ur carb settings.Reduce 1 km/hr speed, add 1second 2 ur life.Comment

Well, I wanted to ask this for a long time..
Whats the deal with with the other 150 CC bikes as compared to a FZ/Fazer.. every now and then I read ppl saying Pulsar 150 is a beast.. it has got more power..it can beat you down in acceleration and top speed easily..
So, I just want to know what are the points of differences between our bikes and any other 150 cc bikes that make them superior..
Also, if FZ/Fazers are behind the other bikes in power and performance.. why should one choose them despite the high price.. just for the looks.. ?

not just because of the looks but because of the fact that p150 is like the most common bike in town... go to a parking lot you will find it difficult to pinpoint a single one of them..Originally posted by digitalD View PostWell, I wanted to ask this for a long time..

they also buy the fz/fazer because most of the people dont feel any vibrations as high as 100kmph. other bikes by those speeds starts vibrating which shows the refinement of the engine by Yamaha...
the power difference is of just 1-2 bhp which doesnt make much difference the difference is made by the length of test run... if you are in a drag of quarter mile fz/fazer will win hands down assuming that the rider knows when to shift up... but if you are going for long runs of kms without traffic then it depends on the top end of the bike which i fear is not very good for the fz/fazer that is where an rtr or a pulsar will take over....
and believe me I have smoked a p150, p180 a lot of times to say that if the rider knows how to shift up then no pulsar can beat him and the ride in a drag....Timon: Orange Yamaha FZ16 2009

Lol why are you thinking like that after buying a bike ???Originally posted by digitalD View PostAlso, if FZ/Fazers are behind the other bikes in power and performance.. why should one choose them despite the high price.. just for the looks.. ?
Other stuff also matters other than looks , as i know you can use it for touring comfortably (i.e no engine over heating etc ) but its not so in other bikes and many more stuff are there ,
that s why before buying a bike should do research on it should know the pro s and cons of it as wellsite:xbhp.com keyword -> Google this to dig up stuff in xbhp fasterComment

Well, I agree that most ppl falter in shifting gears and blame the bike.. I think, I do that fine most times.. as even I have beaten many pulsars on the road with my Fazer..Originally posted by kinshuk.arya View Post
however, my basic question still remains unanswered.. what exactly is the difference in the engines of the two that makes one deliver more power/top speed, despite having the same displacement..

Bore and Stroke matters a lot da , in FZ its same dimension (almost) so its a square engine meaning it will accelerate faster and reduction in top speed , other bike have bore > stroke so its over square engine meaning top end bikeOriginally posted by digitalD View PostWell, I agree that most ppl falter in shifting gears and blame the bike..

i am not sure if i got the technicalities correct , crt me if wonrg plz

even I have been thinking the same thing from the time they launched the r15 at 1lac plus and getting termed as the fastest 150 on road hell faster than a karizma.... searched on the net a couple of things but delivering more power with the same displacement has more to it than meets the eye...Originally posted by digitalD View PostWell, I agree that most ppl falter in shifting gears and blame the bike..

things that I came across are...
1. compression ratios
2. it also has something to do with air filters, exhaust of the engine, valve height, cam shafts, the amount of air-fuel mixture that goes in one cycle and basically everything that goes into the engine apart from displacement....Timon: Orange Yamaha FZ16 2009

okay.. yeah.. i am ranting a little bit here.. but honestly I am not disappointed with my NightFury..Originally posted by kantu View Post
Although, I admit that I didn't research extensively before buying it as I had always been a little biased towards Yamaha.. and (like most n00bs) I thought what the heck, every 150 cc bike would perform the same..
I had heard stories about high maintenance of Bajaj bikes.. and pulsars going bad in a couple of months after purchase.. for honda bikes.. they are low on maintenance, but spares are not available easily.. and they are tuned for mileage and dont perform well.. so on and so forth.. so just went into a Yamaha showroom to book a FZ.. and last minute changed to get a Fazer..
All in all.. I am quite satisfied with it.. but I really wish, it had a better top speed..Last edited by digitalD; 12-03-2010, 11:32 AM.

R15 is a long stroke engine got amazing pull and also top speedsite:xbhp.com keyword -> Google this to dig up stuff in xbhp fasterComment

you got a highly sensitive nose.. :POriginally posted by kinshuk.arya View Posti smell sarcasm in that.....
yeah.. the bore x stroke theory makes sense.. and as @kinshuk says.. engine displacement is just one aspect..Originally posted by kantu View Post
