hello fellow FZians,

my name is Ravi, and i recently gifted myself with black Yamaha fz16 on my birthday on 17th Aug.
before this i used to have a second hand bajaj pulsar 150 classic (with round head-light), which i bought with my dad's money when i was in college.
i always had a fetish for naked street bikes,,, as soon as Yamaha launched the fz16, i wanted to have have this beauty between my legs, not with my dad's money but with my own.
i got placed ( i am a fashion designer) just before my college ended in may 2009, and i started earning and saving money for my black beast,,
i came to know about xbhp accidentally while searching bikes community on net 1 and half years ago. from that day i am constantly following this web site and particularly this ownership thread, this thread only gave me confidence that i was choosing right partner for me.
so, i booked my fz one day prior to my b'day, and they assured me that i'll get it by next day on my b'day. and i did get it on my b'day on 17th of this august .
it been more than three months and i am done with 3000kms and 2nd second free service. i m really very satisfied with its performance...and attention i get on traffic signals and my apartments.

i was following this thread for more than 1 year and member since august( when i bought my fz).. but never have posted anything here,,, but after meeting sunny sir and manan sir yesterday (at iscon mall ahmedabad -they are on their india tour on ducatis monters) i felt really motivated to be a active member and sharpen my biking skills and knowledge.
and now i am feeling really relaxed after finally being a dedicated member.

from now onwards I'll be a active member and share and acquire knowledge on biking and safe riding....

Welcome to xbhp and this thread. Do post your ownership experience/ troubleshooting or any queries. Guys out here will help you for sure just the way they have helped me.

cheers

Guys , especially the fazer owners , can anybody tell me where the mounting points of the fairing are on your bikes ?

in orion motors,bangalore it is 8000rs + service charges total...

Did u try to take the 220 on corners? If u do, u will immediately realise the ease with which a fazer turns. 220 is surely heavier around corners since the centre of gravity is located higher than a fazer

+1 to that... I love the acceleration and the top speed of the P220 but when it comes to the corners... FZ any day.. This bike just loves to take corners with such a breeze that it leaves other bikes far behind by the time i am done playing around in the ghats!!!

I just wished if the top end was a bit better at 90+ speeds... but may be i am just being too greedy.

Also while jerking at potholes, there is some TAK sound. wonder whats colliding with what.

Hi frnds,
i have changed my fz-s oil to semi-synthetic oil & after that the bike was like a gem... but some days back i parked & i when i returned i found it fallen on the ground.... since that my gear shift has become ruff... n its very tight when i gear down...

plz can any one help me????
