      No they did not change anything, just cleaning. Anyway, I can understand overhauling the clutch once in a while, but every 2 months is insane.

      Has anyone else heard of this clutch overhaul thing?

          i simply dont have any idea.just pushed the bike to its limit for continuously 40 km(more than 115km/hr),the sound just changed.even during the service the svc mechanics didnot find any problems.My airfilter is also intact.

            Hi Harsh,

            I was also thinking of getting Remote Key. But I dropped the idea after dealer informed me that Yamaha has advised not to use them.

              No major problems still now,the only problem is that I am fed up with the front disk sound for past 3 months & severe vibrations(sometimes) after it crosses 4500rpm after repeatedly telling the svc also ,no rectification.
              My FZ had a squeeky sound coming from the disk brake. I wasn't that much of a problem. Later on it became so loud that I could even hear it while riding. But the service centre people said it's coming from the bush/bearing or something being too dry without lubrication. The had to remove the front wheel and do the repairs. Now its fine. No sound.

              And that tank pad is nice. I've been trying to get one here. Many of the people here don't even know what a tank pad is.

              • Guys, today it happened again.....
                I started my bike and the bike felt very heavy to move and to my horror the rear tyre is flat ..

                This is the sixth puncture on the rear one.....earlier i didnt pay much attention to our other fellows with similar punctured tyres...

                Now i dont know why but, is this the side effect of tubeless semi compound tyres....
                As the tyre is getting old and accumulating mileage it tends to get punctured more.....very often now....
                My odo reads as 19K+....

                Now i dont know how much more the tyre would be of service to me....
                Tread still seem to be in OK condition....

                Is the tyre useless now with these many punctures????
                Or is there another angle to this whole puncture drama....

                cheers....

                  About 20 k kms sounds good enough for a stock MRF, you can go for a new one dude.. Otherwise you can also use the tube inside the tyre (P220 tube fits) although I'm highly doubtful about the handling of bike after that..

                  • how much do the stickers on the tank cost ? some asshole brushed his handlebar along my tank in the parking lot, tearing the sticker. It hasn't come off, there's only a line on it, but still looks bad.


                    P.S. Something to make you all jealous. Been nursing the bike (read splendor mode) since the handlebar is a bit bend now. Getting figures of over 55kmpl

                        mine clocked 39984 kms till date
                        and still on stock rubber
                        three major punctures on rear, which is been repaired
                        and two nails*small ones* are still there
                        but they are not bothering me now

                        reasons for puncture are many
                        try to maintain optimal air pressure
                        I found 30 F-44 R optimal for my riding conditions,good for mileage too.

                        get your tyre's tread depth checked
                        if it is lesser then the least limit then you MUST need to change your tyre!

                        if you have more than two punctures on same place then you can go for HOt press Remolding Method
                        in this method they first warms up the tyre
                        then put some material on punctured surface
                        and remoulds it
