^^^ Off road performance of FZ is not that good...tried it a few times..but i wudnt say its
very bad either....and rainwater is no probs for FZ...but whoa...stay away from mud and slush(had an experience)...after all, the tyres are for streets...

Kerosene shouldn't be used too often, just once in a while when it is too dirty.
Try using a better quality chain lube like Yamalube which lasts longer&is more water resistant than the other market products.
I use Yamalube dry white type chain spray for my R15 which costs about Rs.1400 a can, but lasts thrice as long as Motul. Check if the same thing is available for FZ also.

Went thru some threads today and found some of them suggesting using
a SAE 90 oil(dont know what it is)...is it ok...i wil buy the yamalube if need be but when you drive 300-400 km a week you need to clean it more often...
and i doubt i wil be able to afford a Can every month...

Yep, you can try that too. I was suggesting the Yamalube dry type since it lasts 3 times longer than the regular lubes. Since it is dry, even rain water does not affect it too much.
Whatever you do, just keep one thing in mind-don't use harsh stuff like kerosene too often, else the chain will turn permanently black.

Have you used Motul chain clean? If you use it regularly you don't need to use anything else. It removes all the dirt. Kerosene is only used for cleaning very stubborn dirt.
I use Motul chain clean&then Yamalube dry type chain spray once in every 1500kms.or whenever the chain starts making noise.
Last time it lasted me 1500kms.with 3 heavy rain rides&water washing every weekend. I got it relubed when the first hint of noise started, but it rained heavily the same day! No difference to the lube though. If it were Motul lube, I would have had to run back to the SVC the next day. Not to mention my rear alloy&number plate being sprayed black.

I think those chains can be cleaned with kerosene. Prolly they are made with some other material.

BTW...what do u mean by-chain turns black...Does it wear out or something harmful like that??

hi guys ... probably off the current discussion going on but I was just wondering if anybody has got rear mud flaps installed on the bike or anything such , coz mine's really kicking up dirt left , right and centre and i really need to do something about it ... well i stay in bangalore and the raods here are pretty pathetic , atleast in an around the area i live in and most of my riding is done here ... we've got puddled potholes and leaking drains all over the place hence the need to get some rear mud guards installed on the bike . if anybody has done it then please help ...

As you read it first at ******** few weeks back, Yamaha today launched the new Fazer in India. Fazer is the third bike from Yamaha on FZ-16 platform. Recently yamaha launched a new variant of FZ-16 called FZ-S. Similar to the FZ-S, the fazer is powered by a 153cc engine producing 14PS of max power at 7500rpm and 14Nm of peak torque at 6500rpm. This new Fazer comes with a quarter fairing and it now gets even bigger rear tyre. The rear tyre is now 140-60 with 17″ alloy wheels. Fazer is priced at Rs72,000 (ex-showroom delhi). Fazer is available in four colours – blue, black,red and orange.

In additon to the launch of Fazer, Yamaha has announced the launch of new colours for R15 – yellow, black,red and blue

The second&third one is overcharging, i have completed my forth service...
1) Teflon coating - it's up to ur choice, whether to do or not
2) Engine oil - which brand ru using? normally they use yamalube mineral oil which costs only 170-180Rs/-
3) Chain cleaning - it's a complete bulls**t... they must do it free, coz ur in ur free service mode...
4) Logo price - quite natural if it's gone...

check 2nd and 3rd one... They are not correct
For my services...
first service - charged 220Rs/- changed engine oil and one oil for FZ(elements)(including tax)
Second & Third - 170Rs/-(changing oil and servicing including chain clean&lubing)
Forth - 415Rs/-(Engine oil change to yamalube semi synthetic)

what say guys???
