      • off late my bike tends to heat up a lot. even after a 10km ride the heat from the engine is lot more than wat it used to be. oil level is good. been running on full-syn agip. done about 15k on the odo. will be dropping in for service next week.. anything that i shud be specific about. i'm not able to figr out. also my bike tends to misfire at times when i down-shift, especially from 3rd to 2nd. its more like a pause before the engine kicks in.

                    that does look like a puncture , check using soap water ... normal water might not work .

                    • Any ways i am taking it to the SVC to get the bent fork and handlebar replaced or the bent corrected
                      i will show them this
                      but my front tyre is also loosing pressure but the tyre is clean. Is it because of the roads i think so because the roads i drove for the past one week is not very good full of stones and holes

                      Hope i get my fork and handlebar replaced rather than bent corrected since i am claiming for insurance

                                1) What is the Speed recommended for new FZ16 till some Kilometers.

                                RPMs should not exceed 4k untill 500km and after that RPM should not exceed 5k untill 1000km.

                                2) Which is the best speed/RPM in each gear to get good millage?

                                RPM 4K upshift 2K downshift

                                3) Frequency of checking tier pressure and front and rear pressure limit.

                                frequency: whenever you go to the petrol pump, 28psi front, 33 psi rear

                                4) which petrol is good like "India Oil" , "HP" etc... Currently I am using "India Oil"

                                everything is same. doesnt matter. just buy it from a trustworthy petrol pump.

                                5) what are the basic checks should i do with my new bike to find any hidden problem areas like engine or something else.

                                take a test ride. check for engine noise or vibrations, smoke basically anything unusual get it clarified.... if the SVC says its the same for all then demand a test ride of another vehicle. apart from this normal checks should include chechks for scratches etc.


                                6) What are the best accessories available in market for FZ16. To improve look & feel.

                                accessories for FZ-16 include many things and depends totally on one's personal taste.... you get things like:

                                rim stripes, clear LED indicators, clear LED rear lights, yamaha logo lights, seat cover, HIDs etc. etc. etc..... the list is very long....

                                7) I am from Chennai. Which dealer is best in service. i bought it from RAJ Yamaha OMR.

                                8) Best shop and place in Chennai to buy/fit accessories for FZ16.

                                7) Other best maintenance tips.

                                wash it regularly with cold water and hair shampoo, wax it regularly, keep lubricating the chain once evry 400-500 km. cover it up when not using, do not over rev the engine, let it cool down before covering up, do not park in direct sun light.apart from basics there is nothing that you cant do on an FZ....

                                DO NOT CRASH IT....

                                Hope these areas will help all new FZ16 owners .
