This is definitely an "eyesore",I really hate this feature,(although I know its for safety),be it on the Ninja,Fazer or the bigger SBKs.

That was the first mod of mine,did it within 3 days of buying my Fazer.Till then,I used to ride around the city with just the pilot lamps (yes,I was so conscious of it),although the streets were well-lit.
Now am thinking of installing projectors,but can the battery give the optimum output to both the lights at the same time?

@arijitmaniac
like the odo meter pic....

EFI is a wonderful tool....except when it plays up. Auto choke function is a great tool.

As for those who complain about how hard their bike is to start, how many kicks, pushes on the starter you have to press etc, Have you tried just starting the bike and giving it some revs?
Are you that scared of reving a engine or too stingy to waste a few ml's of petrol? Is mileage that much of a deal for you?

The choke is a useless part of the bike in my opinion. If I don't rev the engine and engage the choke my engine stalls. I just have to give it a rev and its ok, Then it stalls after 30seconds or 1min.

This is what I wanted to explain to all of you, especially RAK, I don't know where he disappeared.

If you want to do a replacement then rather go for a 9 amp battery like amaron or something. Although they need a little bit of time to get charged but can take a lot of load in running all electrical stuff.

The light mod to keep both lights "ON" on a Fazer has been explained a long time back on this thread. Use google type your query followed by typing xbhp. You should be getting the result, unless if you do want to look for it manually.

Cheers,

I presume RAK mistook your point as a rant. Anyways, Let's not take this further. I would say try it out keep the engine idle speed at 1800 and see. This problem will be temporary and should go away the moment the summers approach or the ambient temp is hotter. The engine running at a little higher idle speed will not affect your mileage if you are concerned about that nor it will affect your engine.

Or Else, just rev it to around 2k just like I told you earlier for about 30-45 seconds and then ride her.

@Mad Mik: I brought out the point of EFI just assure the post starter to understand the fact that keeping the engine at a little higher idle speed will not affect its performance or lifespan. Although personally have friends who have clocked 60,000+ kms on their EFI rides and still going strong without any hiccups. I guess as long as one ensures the periodic maintenance and checks, things will be fine.

@RAK: yup revving the nuts off the bike during a cold start is a common sighting especially in india. . Plainly stupid though...


Cheers,

Not able to find it here... maybe my query is wrong... I tried stuff like "Yamaha Fazer twin headlights mod xbhp"

No link to this thread. Getting links to other threads where the solutions are vague... Or maybe cos i'm really sleepy

Hi,

Regarding the "socket", I may be wrong on this but I simply don't buy the fact that your chain and sprockets are still stock since the last 53,000 kms! That is one heck of a lifespan for the whole set. Unless your mechanic has removed the links from the chain to get it tightened, in my understanding it is just not possible for the chain to survive for such a long period. Hence, the recommendation to replace it at the earliest.

Anyways, if the SVC guys are repeatedly pointing out that the Cam timing chain has gone bad then it is time to get it replaced. Would request Mik and Luke to throw in a liner or 2 if the post starter should also get any other internalls checked and replaced along with the replacement of the above mentioned part. I have not reached the stage yet so can't comment on it.

Cheers,

You can also check the Yamaha R15 thread, earlier posts, the same light mod has been mentioned there as well.

Cheers,

Exactly as what you said shiv18, it's all about temperature. Although most of the problems vanished when you advised me to increase the idle speed from 1k-1.5k. This morning the weather was hot and the bike started and idled itself with raising acceleration at 2-3k rpm maybe for 10 seconds and it didn't stall at all. So the temperature was the culprit and not the system. Anyways thank you very much. I also don't want to increase the idle RPM anymore because I don't like hearing much noise from the engine. I always like silent things.

This morning a Honda Unicorn wala was teasing me and I did beat him from zero to 50 at 4.5k RPM gear changes and there was another speed breaker ahead and I slowed down (Didn't want to take any chances bike is only ~650 old) Deciding to Rip to the end only when it crosses 3k ODO.

shv

yep i will change my chain socket by the end of this month as me making the trip to go to Indore 190 km form Bhopal

as my chain socket are untouched no link added or remove its been almost 5 yr with my fz16 2008 model i dont know but its simply workeng fine after the change of air filter , cluch plate , engine oil filter , engine oil , camshaft chain and stopper.....

This was the same problem I had untill I got the choke cable replaced and set the Idle RPM at 1.5K

Hey I am here only dude. I normally login only during first half of the day.
I was about to suggest you to increase your Idle rpm above 1.5K and check, but shv18 has already suggested you the same and it worked fine. Also always do one thing, when you start your bike in morning take the first rev's to 6K and pull the choke. Dont pull the choke at Idle RPM. Sometimes pulling the choke at Idle RPM doesn't affect. This happens on my bike .

You suggestion is absolutely correct. Looks like his idle RPM was too low for the climate condition. For Mumbai climate also I keep my Idle RPM 1.5K which I think is quite high as per our climate.
Also when I bought my bike in 2009 people suggested me to start the bike with kick start in the morning. When I told them that my bike doesn't have kick starter they were surprised as why would Yamaha not provide such an important thing.

Good to hear that your issue is somewhat resolved. Also try to use the choke everyday when you start your bike.
BTW one suggestion, dont try this on highway. Unicorn will show you dust for sure.

Bro have been doing drag for quite a long time in highways and in traffic(city)/ No 150cc bike can beat FZ/FAZER on the highway or even in a drag... we do it everyday while going to office.. between 1 dazzler 1unicorn 1 fz 1 fazer 2 pulsar 1 cbz. Only the pulsar accelerates faster than fazer/fz,but on the long high speeds fazer easily overtakes all... :-)

Well then the riders you are doing your speed runs along with are not pushing their ride. On a straight line, an FZ will get beaten easily by other rides on top end as their gearing is taller unlike FZ. I would say upto 60 kays FZ will beat others, post that the other bikes will take over.
