      Yeah. PSD better than Revz. Tends to skid when bending on loose surface. Wet and dry pacca. Velcro
      Negligible pressure drop, Conti loosing presusre badly, only 7 PSI
      Bad thing is the price, but REvz being costly easily justify that too

          1-2 PSI drop is normal. too much drop is bad

          • guys my dumbass brother just crashed the car into my bike....
            he says it was at a very slow speed... but there is something wrong with the alignment now.... but what worries me is tht the engine refused to start for a while.. and after reving it a lot i got it to start but ... it kept stalling as soon as i stopped revving it.... what could be wrong.. can i get it back to its original condition..how much would it cost?

              the bike not starting is normal after a fall i don't know the exact reason behind this but don't worry its fine
              regarding the alignment where did your brother hit
              how did it fall
              what misalignment did you feel

              • I just changed my stock headlight bulb to 60/55W, but I've noticed the spread might be off since the high beam points all the way to tree tops! Anyone else faced this? Is it normal or do I have to get it realigned since I went for a more powerful bulb? It was a simple replacement, no adjustment.

                  Replacing the bulb requires removing the HL which means a re -allignment is required.Just loosen the bolt on the right side(while facing the HL) of the light and adjust it to your need.

                    • good service centers

                      Hi,
                      I have just brought my Fz-16 from Kerala to Chennai.
                      Please suggest me some good Yamaha service centers in Chennai...
                      It would be helpful if there are some areas near Medavakkam,Sholinganellur,Velachery etc.... as I cant venture far into Chennai with my KL reg number.
                      Reduce 1 km/hr speed, add 1second 2 ur life.

                          its near M.N.M jain college at thoraippakam.but its the only one around sholinganallur. around 5-7 kms from sholinganallur towards perungudi.
                          i heared sometime ago that these guys(raj yamaha) not doing well and customers are shifting to BIKERZ nanaganallur for services...

                          JAIN yamaha at t.nagar and PARAS yamaha near anna flyover .

                          i saw paras yamaha has the largest service depot.

                          jain yamaha is the famous in my friends circle.

                          you can just sneak through in the mornings(7 to 7.30) and leave for service, then bring back in during night peak hours. i used to do when i didnt have my licence.

                              Ya you need to take it to the SVC i suppose the fork is also bent
                              you can check by riding the bike straight preferbly on a highway and removing the hand fron the bar then check whether the bikes goes straight or not it may go to one side
