what!!!! fir bhi!!!!
then you must get your bike tuned for more mileage,
ask in yamaha SS, they will do it,
and also i heard some FZ's (from the first lot ) tuned for milage,
and rest were for performance,
not sure about it but it was told to me by my friend who works for Yamaha

Well buddy...sometimes "bad luck hi kharab hota hai"...I had the same issues when i first bought a discover 125cc 4 yrs back....reached the workshop about 10 times a month for one or the other reasons....

As for the FZ, i was told of the compression that the jerk/choke/blast from the exhaust will continue till abut 3000kms to 5000kms till the engine settles enough carbon. Then only will the bike give enough mileage and better performance...dont know how much its true cos my FZ performs well so far though the choke/blast continues from the exhaust at times especially when the engine is cold.

Few weeks back... i remember i was in about 60-70kmph on a slightly uphill road on almost full throttle. but when i let loose the throttle a bit and tried regaining the same speed and acceleration, the engine did not respond instantly. When i told about this problem, the mechanic told me that it is due to compression (dont exactly know what that means) and also he told me that because of higher torque, the compression will continue for some time only....

well my FZ is now about 3400kms and 4 months old, the perfomance is better, though still at times the blast continues expesially when the engine is cold agian...

Another problem i faced earlier was the front disc break, it sqeaks at many times and the sound goes on and off at will even if I dont apply the break. But for the past few weeks its gone...But sure i do love the squeaks whe the break is applied cos pedestrians gets alarmed and moves quickly to the sides, which they seldom respons to the horn......

so i guess you better get a Yamaha professional mechanic check the bike and ask for suggestions from other FZs owners for more feedback...

The pick up of FZ is good and improving with passing time and kilometers...the throttle though it feels a bit hard is much better, feels like more torque is concentrated on the throttle. When I wheelied with pulsar150 and fz1, I found the response of fz's throttle much better than pulsar even after cluth adjustment (dont know wat other pulsar members views). I had to throttle so much to get the necessary torque to lift the bike unlike with the fz. My pulsar friend felt the same, he found the same ease with FZ....and he could easily wheelie with it though new to FZ.

So i guess you should not feel bad, just get your bike check properly and thoroughly in the yamaha workshop. take another bike and ride with it and then see for yourself how your bike performs....

By the way, how much kilometer have you rode the bike?

My Bikes done 4900kms and the problem gets worse by the day, feel like selling of the damn bike and get myself a ZMA but its out of my budget for rit now.

I have consulted a few mechanics but none of them even think that my bike has a problem. They say its the way the bike is made it is not a problem but i know thats not the truth. I am planning to go to the consumer forum and bloody pull these Yamaha officials to court. I called Yam customer service and told them about my problem and they said they will get back to me, its been 10 days no responce. I have sent many emails to the Regional (South-East zone) manager and that bugger never replies. These Yamaha officials have driven me nuts, the only option i have now is to beat the living hell out of the engineer and burn the bike

hey guys heard that FZ IS comming with the modified headlight..similar to apache ..is that just rumorr?????????hope to get the reply

well at least maintain ur RPM's to 4500 for de first 1000-1500 kms. things vil work just fi9

wht abt the kreaking sound when the front brake level is applied during the ride?

^^ what you talking about... if you want a faster bike with more BHP go buy a R15.. the FZ16 is perfect for what it is..

i can do without extra 'cc' but i'd definately want a cpl of bhp's more .. n ofcourse a rear disc! the bike shud have had atleast 16 bhps..

agreed, ppl's expect too much its like asking for a NANO with 6 CD changer, and turbo charged engine. Yamaha set expectations right already its a street bike and i never felt less power it being a street bike.


Guys any updates on engine cover or some accessories for FZ? how is the mesh for seat provided by yamaha?

i think its an OT in ownership thread, but if you want some more power from that 153 cc mill,
shell out some more money, add an tractac Exhaust, install a K & N filter, use full synthetic oil, you will see the results
and you can install a rear disk too,
its all about money bro

lolzzz

No engine cover is available till date, and what's that???
