    LoL. If wire is broken, speed would be 0 . Check for a faulty sensor.

    • @ insane biker: My Pulsar Speedo's Blue wire broke down (out of 3 wires in it) and it was showing 100 at around 50-60 ...

      and I noticed similar symptoms as mentioned here... Got it replaced for 125 bucks!...

        Does the FZ also have a wire similar to that of UG3? Ug3 doesnt have any metal(inner) as in the conventional speedo wires.

        • Hello everyone. Been a silent observer for the last couple of months. Got my FZ on february. Its absolutely fun to ride.

          Anyway, got this little issue that annoys me. I get a slight buzz when I rev up my engine. Thought it was the dusty chains but cleaning it up still doesnt fix it. Am not sure if the engine is pinking, since the sound isn't a distinct metallic rattle.

          Also, does anyone have this problem of engine suddenly shutting down it self, especially in lower gears. Happens in heavy traffic when I pull back the clutch lever a lot. Have to meddle with the idling screw with this one .

          If anyone can put things straight or point me to other related posts, it would be swell..

          Also, have a hunch, I have to change the engine oil, since I get this burning odour when I ride for 2-3 hours... Already done 5K but the smell sometimes is overpowering.. Can someone recommend a good engine oil?

          • @insanebiker, samarth:

            thanks for the help... will get it checked at the SC. but it wasnt as bad as u described.. like getting 100 for 50-60. still...

            i will compare it once with a another bike running in parallel though, once before finally taking it to the SC..

              • hi guys
                I have completed three services and the forth one is over due a bit...
                In all these I noticed that when i take out my bike after the service the engine oil level is slightly above minimum .. never filled to max. then when you do a lot of stuff with your bike say 1800 kms then the oil level if you check will be fallen...
                check on a warm engine after running it for say 5 mins and you find the oil level below min and all the complaints of gearshift and engine harshness are observed..
                a note here do not screw the dipstick b4 measuring the oil level.

                in this situation i toppen up every time with 100 ml of it and it was smooth like butter again...
                there is a service issue i guess no prob with the bike
                Kingdom FAR FAR away is where I wanna be...
                But I can't find a road headed that way.

                • ^^^Even i suspect the service centre for my bike's harshness and hard gears....
                  will check the oil level first thing in morning...

                  Depends on how you have ridden the bike...if you constantly ripped it then
                  you wil need an oil change...i guess you have used a mineral oil...else there may be some other reason to it...do get it checked though...

                  • no yaar oil will last for atleast 2500 kms... that value is with a safety factor...
                    this is too early for an oil change...

                    • Mud Flap

                      Has anyone fit in the mud flap on their FZ16? The rear mud guard is too small and it splashes the water all over the rear seat..

                      • Even i m waiting to hear about the Mudflap from some of our FZ owners. Monsoons reached our shores at last. So gotta get it fast. Or i guess our shirts will be a piece of abstract art every rainy day.

                            • FZ 16 performance kit by Yamaha

                              Hi Guys,

                              Got news that Yamaha is releasing performance kits for r-15 and fz 16. Do not know what the price will be though. Let us know if someone has more information particularly about fz-16, what performance parts will be installed etc...

                              Many Thanks,
