    there is no confirmed way to upjet it you have to use hit and trial by using different sizes of jet in the carb...

    also try searching in the help me section of the website about the upjetting and performance air filter....

          Congrats and welcome to the club bro.....there will be a list of things in the service manual which yamaha recommends to be checked before delivery....it will be "PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION REPORT" ....at end of the report where dealer would give stamp and you will agree and sign that they have checked the all the things.....

          • 4th Free Service

            Hi Guys,

            My FZ-S is nearing it's fourth free service.
            Can you give suggestions as to what checks need to be done apart from the routine service ?

            Also, Does anybody know how much will a LED position light cost ?

            Thanks

              so i don't think it is needed as long as you religiously follow the manual as your bible... being gentle with the bike for the 1st 250 kms under 4000 rpm and then post 500 kms 4500- 5500 rpm and then post 750 kms not more than 6000 rpm and all throughout shifting various gears to load the engine and help it set better.

              cheers
              thanks shv18.... At first service I put mineral oil yamahalube. The svc says on mineral it will run 1500km and on SS it will run 2500km. Is it right?

                the official Fz accesories position light is rs.500 each,but no warranty so it will be better if you get the led from outside shop as 500 rs pair..

                  • Has anybody used Shell Advance AX7 10W40 Engine Oil ? I came across this in a shell outlet.
                    I want to change the engine oil to a semi synthetic one, But I am not sure if I should go for a YamaLube or buy a brand from the outside.

                    Any suggestions would be helpful for me. I am really naive in these area.

                      the SS yamalube which is available is not of the recommended grade of FZ....

                          Not going to be fooled by those service guys this time around

                          But, one more question, Can you suggest which Motul oil I should go for for the FZ ?

                            nothing to worry.... the break pads take sometime to set in as they also have a break in period... give it around 150km of breaking and then they will work normally...

                            the sound also comes because of moisture in the morning...

                            if i am not wrong then motul has stopped manufacturing the 15w40 semi synth.....

                            you can go for 10w40 but it is FS and costs around 800-900rs per liter...

                            • A strange thing happened to my FZ-S few days back when it was raining,
                              When I was going on a wet marble surface , The bike simply skidded and fell down, Nothing happened to me or the bike (apart from a small scratch on the crash guard ).
                              I know these things happen when we apply brakes on a wet area, But this time No Brakes, No gear change, nothing.. Has anybody come across this problem ?

                              Is there something I need to be concerned of ?
