    There is a guy in you tube who is a good mechanic he is a youtuber tooo shares every thing about the engines, repairs, bikes what not all the things about the 2wheelers.
    I made some whats up calls with him regarding this noise issue from the FZ-S VERSION 2. He concluded that its a manufacturing defect & we have to live with it as there is no solution for reducing the noise he also adviced me to ignore the noises as it doesnt effect the engine in any way. So better to stop bothering about the issue which will wont solve forever[emoji50]
    yeah bro you are right better to ignore it.. because i myself have realized that this is the character of the engine and can't be solved even after replacing the bike..

    the mechanic you mentioned.. is he from Delhi Ncr? I have an issue with the handlebar as I feel like it is titled at an angle and want to show my bike to some experienced mechanic as yamaha mechs are useless

Waiting for the kal from the service center to show the issue to engineer lets see what this guy soo called service engineer will do.

    but imo this is how the engine has been made and cannot be resolved after changing the parts which are making this noise .. as the new parts will also be the same and will start making noise after some time .. as it has been seen that most of the owners are complaining about the noise

    Here is the latest review of Motul 300V2 on the fzs:-

    Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

    Hi! I am facing patchy tire wear both in front and rear. Tire treads are more worn out at some places compared to other. Is shocker the reason for this? I have done around 70k on my bike(fzs 2012)

    You try out some various other additives for engine smoothness and FI cleaning (if i get any links I'll update this post).
    Thank you for clearing doubt on carbon cleaner, my svc mostly fill carbon cleaning in 3 service when I've crossed 3k kms or more, without informing me. Will enquire them on next service.

    Regarding Castrol I never had any problems, I mostly buy oil from authorized dealers whether its Castrol, Shell or Elf.

    Hello,

    This would be my first post on Ownership Experiences after my introduction.

    Currently I am owing Yamaha FZ-S Dual Disc since June 2018 which would complete its 1 year on June 15.
    Till now I haven't faced any issues on the motorcycle except for few niggles which are common regarding loose bolts & chain adjustment.

    Seeing discussion regarding engine oil my FZ-s (2018) was filled with Yamalube Synthetic Oil 10w40 (recommended oil for R15 & R3) since its 1st Free Service. Oil is ok for city ride & occasional revving , imo almost similar like Shell Advance Ultra 10w40 except for fact that motorcycle vibrates if driven above 5k RPM. Drain interval is around 3000 kms according to Yamaha. Costs around 450

    Had tried Shell AX7 10w40 (Semi-Synthetic) once, didn't felt like Semi-Synthetic, felt like premium mineral oil & don't know why felt engine needed for oil change after 1500 kms. According to Shell's attendant oil could be stretched to 5k kms . Better to use Motul 5100 15w50 or Elf Total Moto 4 Roadster (Currently using on TVS Wego) which could be stretched to 3000 kms.

    Currently driving on Yamalube Sporty Premium 10w40, thinking to switch to either Motul 7100 10w40/10w50 or Castrol Power 1 Racing 10w50 or Elf Total Moto Tech 4 10w50 (Could source Castrol & Elf from official distributors/dealer)!! If anyone have any experience with those then please share!!

    Also is it necessary to pour Yamalube Carbon Cleaner in every service because here they pour at every service?? Heard fuel additives or Premium fuels also do same job!!
    Castrol Power 1 is not so good!

    And Carbon cleaner is not a must have element at every 3000kms. It depends on your Fuel quality which you fill.

    Right now iam using LIQUIMOLY STREET RACE oil which is a fully synthetic one the gear shifts are smooth even the refinement levels are better with the oil.
    You can try this oil for your fz i bet you wont regret your decision of choosing liquimoly products.
    Oh is it!!

    Let me try that one time! Thanks for the suggestion!

    I'm using Yamalube Optima, even though it is good but it can't be the same after 2000kms.
    Could you please suggest me some good/best engine oil for FZ V2.0
