Stock is Rolon, I beleive. It's marked RN on sprocket.

Hello xbhpians,
Today my FZ skidded on tram line. I was going across the line, but going angular. The angle was small and driving very slow. Still it skidded. Luck that the legguard saved my bike from any scratches on body but got on the guard and lower side of muffler.
My legguard is of butterfly type. I noticed later that the guard got bent slightly and touching the design part under the tank. Will it do any harm to the bike or fork in terms of driving? Is it possible to straighten the leg guard? (I called Yamaha Factory shop here in Kolkata and they do not do it)

Buddy met an accident for a taxi driver skidded badly .leg guard(butterfly) took all the beating..can't write more.. my left knee is hurt badly..changed the leg guard 410 rs same one..

Oh God, what is happening??!!.
That is brutal, Are you totally safe?

Where did u change the leg guard from?

I'm safe except left knee got scratched can't bend my leg and slight cut on elbow......all thanks goes to leg guard for saving me and my baby ..a yamaha parts dealer is my father's friend in wellington other wise it costs around 500rs...

My Ownership experience

Hey guys,

Though late thought i'd also share my ownership experience.

I booked my bike from Bikerz Yamaha, Chennai. These guys were not able to promise a proper delivery date, had to speak with the owner and even then they were not able to deliver the vehicle the promised date. I was OK for any date, I just wanted a confirmed date from them, which they were not able to provide. Of all the things I hate the sales guy at their Nandanam extension, that %^&*( was giving my bike for test ride to people and he was cheating people of Yamaha key chains by saying to come back later.
They did however help me in getting the registration number I require, was later told that the difficulty in confirming the date was because of the registration number.

Service from these guys is simply pathetic. The bike that Yamaha sold me had some issues from the beginning and these service guys at Bikerz and Raj Yamaha were not even ready to accept that its a problem and these genuises were talking me down saying thats the way things are. The problem I have is, shifting gears down isn't smooth, only way to shift the gears down was to leave the clutch a bit and give a little throttle. One more problem is the front fork has a problem it makes sound when front brake is applied and when going over speed breakers as if something is broken inside.
Only after complaining to the Yamaha HO and having the bike examined by the Yamaha Engineer did the problem get rectified, but as I said Yamaha sold me a problematic piece, these problems are back again and going to stay with me forever.
Even with 12 sigma we cant have 100% perfection, donno which sigma yamaha factory follows, but this misperfct piece came to me.


By the way there is one more interesting thing, the fuel indicator. it shows wrong information. Complained about this to the service center guys and he was saying that its just a show piece and its not supposed to show the correct information anyhow, so I asked him if he can provde that to me in writing and he was very much ready to give it.

I said to myself "Welcome to the world of Yamaha India"


Yamaha FZ-16 is a good bike except for the one that Yamaha sold me.
