Congrats bro and welcome to xBhp and Yamaha family...

Hi,

it is available with any car parts dealer& accessories shop. Worse case scenario you can look at any of the Ford or Chevrolet dealers/SVCs in Mumbai.. they recommend system G with their cars.

Cheers,

hey guys did 1st servicing of my fazer from kamala yamaha.....was impressed with the service nd job done...the brake noise problem and headlight switch gear problem is solved...they have reduced my idle rpm too it used to be very high arnd 3k after riding for some time.........but had a hell of time to find their shop....


neways have some general doubts......when i end up emptying my tank while riding the bike nd due to which the bike turns off after jerking few times....will this cause any problem to my bike??...i endup doing this to find the actual mileage of my bike..... also will it make any difference in mileage if i ride with tank filled completly??? heard smwher abt this...

12 is the total capacity out of which 10 is normal 1.5 is usable reserve and the rest .5 is not usable...

3k rpm is too much... you can yourself set the idling ...there is a small screw below the carbeurator... if u rotate the accelerator and look below the carbeurator you will see a wire moving up and down ...just below that there is a nut/screw... you need to rotate it to set the rpm. alweys do the rpm setting after riding her for some kilometers or when engine is warm. And one question...why do you need to check mileage everytime ..check it once in 2-3 month or so.. before buying the monster you should have known that fz/fazer is not very popular on mileage figures.. anywez... when ever you feel jerks i.e when the bike comes to reserve... leave the throttle and turn the knob to reserve.. wait for some 5 secs then slowly twist the throttle and accelerate away to the nearest petrol bunk... 12lts of petrol = 10kgs (+/-2).. the mileage difference will be so little that you will hardly make it out...

Now, I am speechless!!!

I tell you very frankly, bros: this obsession about mileage gives to the many foreigners on this website a VERY BAD picture of the whole of India: cheapos beyond imagination!

This last one is to be marked with a black stone (an infamous color, in many countries!): asking if a few kilos will influence the sacro-saint mileage reaches the pinnacle of ridicule!

I am really pissed and seriously wonder if it is worth anything hanging around there and giving advices to people who hardly deserve to have a push bike!

hey guys,i am having a problem with my 3yrs old(9.5K odo) fz-s.when i start the engine its idles between 1k and 2k(1.5k i think...not sure though).but after sometime it gradually starts going down and the engine finally dies out.any idea why this is happening?thanks in advance.

Ok Ride the bike say 5-10 kms so that engine is warmed up well. Now check the engine idle speed. Is it between 1.3 and 1.5. If it is so then your idle RPM is right. Else use the idle RPM knob and increase the idle speed to the range 1.3 to 1.5k. Your starting problem must be solved if your idle RPM is in the correct range.

If the problem still persist then you need to tell us about the service history. Experts here will guide you

If you like getting your carb cleaned on a more than regular basis due to clogging the jets then sure, Keep sucking your tank dry.
Just imagine you have a glass of ice tea.
You notice at the bottom there is some sediment, sand, dead bugs or what have you, Do you drink the whole glass, drain it completely or drink until the sediment starts to move towards you?

The same is with your fuel tank. Yes there is a vertical strainer inside the tank but that can only filter out so much until it gets clogged.

Safest option is always keep your fuel tank full.
Singapore has numerous signs on their PYE highway instructing motorists to keep a full tank of fuel.


Petrol is not going to be cheap anymore. Lets make sure we understand that.
Oil is not going to be cheap anymore either. The days of cheap fuel are long gone.
Getting it out the ground is getting harder, riskier and of course more expensive.
Planning the seismic to determine where to drill, Interpreting the data, planning and designing the well/s and then you need to find a suitable drilling rig.
Drilling rig dayrates are expensive, Some of the most expensive rigs cost US$400/MINUTE. Think about that. $400/minute. That's over half a million $/day. That is only for the bare rig.

You also need to pay for the staff to man the rig, Drill pipe, drill bits, drilling fluid, casing, downhole tools, safety valves, wellheads, spare parts, safety equipment, platforms, pipelines (later for production) specialized service companies, medical staff, helicopters, supply ships, couriers, consumables, food, air fares for personnel from their home to the rig and back, of course fuel, oil and much much more.

The oil companies then pass that cost onto the consumer (us)
Refining costs are increasing, transportation/logistics costs are rising, Insurance on oil tankers are rising due to kidnappings and piracy, Govt taxes are increasing.

Instability in the Middle East causes oil prices to go up, OPEC controls oil production output. If you want cheaper fuel then they are the countries/people to complain to.

The quicker you accept that you will be paying more and more for petrol in the future the better off you will be.

Take a look at the cost of fuel around the world.
In Vietnam it is over usd$1/Liter (23,500VND/Liter. US$1 = 20,000)
Australia it is almost $2/Liter or more.

When I first got into performance cars petrol was 60c/Liter. By the time I got out of the car scene petrol was $1.60/L.
Average mileage for me when I was driving hard was 180km from a 75L tank.
3L turbocharged I6, running 1bar - 1.3bar = 6L+ engine capacity. Fuel doesn't last long when your foot is flat to the floor and your speedo is on the wrong side of 200kph

Does a car use more gas when the tank is below half full

do you get better or worse gas mileage when you fill your tank up?

Better gas mileage keeping tank full? - Ask Me Help Desk

is it true that a full tank gives better mileage? - Fuel Economy, Hypermiling, EcoModding News and Forum - EcoModder.com

Better gas mileage when tank is half full?? See my scenario - GasSavers.org - Helping You Save at the Pump Hypermiling and Fuel Efficiency Forum

If I had more time, could have taken three four pages more..

SURPRISINGLY NOT A SINGLE ONE ORIGINATES FROM INDIA.

All of the above people don't deserve a car.. And keep cribbing on MILEAGE after owning one!! Havent seen such discussions on any Indian Automobile Forum.. Help me find some.

FUEL EFFICIENCY is a worldwide concern. Foreigners seems to be more concerned though!

As someone pointed above, fuel economy is a serious issues unless you are born in Kuwait or are awfully dumb and ignorant about the realities and how fast the fossil fuel is vanishing. All the major auto manufacturers are not investing millions into finding alternative fuel and/or making their vehicles more fuel efficient for nothing.

We Indians are definitely obsessed about fuel economy (sometimes being unreasonably so) but we have our own reasons and logic to be what we are and it doesn't give you or anybody else a reason to call us "cheapos." What would you call your countrymen's obsession for two-wheelers? Isn't it another level of same 'cheapness?'

Secondly, no one forced you to come and share your knowledge. And let me tell you, this exchange of knowledge ain't a one-way road for anybody here.

On Road Price of FZ16 Delhi

Hi All,

This is my first post on xBHP. I was looking for reviews of Yamaha FZ on internet and stumbled upon this huge huge ownership thread of FZ. I am looking forward to help from you all so that I can make informed decision of buying FZ.

Can somebody please tell on road price of FZ16 in Delhi ? Anybody who bought recently in past month or so.

Also suggest good yamaha dealer in Delhi..which can be contacted for test ride and final booking( I am waiting for that day literally).

Thanks All.

Guys,

Need some help. I changed the entire chain sprocket set a week back since the previous chain was making a strange knocking noise which increased as I drive along.
But now, once the chain sprocket set has been replaced, there seems to be a different sound, like "krr... krr" coming from the chain and it increases as I speed along.. It's very evident when I drive down a slope in neutral.

Anyone faced this problem before ? I will go to the SVC in a couple of days, But want to get some inputs first.

India and Vietnam alike are not where you see a majority of rich people, indeed! This is definitely not one of the "Gulf" countries, where (I have been there!) the "emiratis" only want the most powerful flashy, gas-hungry cars, and that whatever the local price of gas, and whatever the cost of the car: all they do is race from one traffic light to another with their Mercedes AMG or Lamborghinis.

Pleople here and over in your country not only cannot afford a car (I see more cars parked in your houses when you show pictures of your bikes than there would be in Vietnam, though!), but also could not afford the gas they burn. Add to this that many lanes, in and out of cities, are just wide enough for a bike. That is why, in both these countries, motorcycles are the rule. Not Yamaha FZ's, though! Those who have little revenue will have a Honda Cub or Dream, or any of those little two wheelers that use very little fuel, with their very fuel efficient 100cc< 125cc engines, small tires, and very lightweight.

Where it becomes ridiculous - some like it or not - is where on every single page of this thread, practically, one has to question about the mileage of these bikes.

The Yamaha FZ is a show! The rear tire is unreasonably wide, the bike is heavy not only physically but visually: gives that "macho" look that made us buy it! And then what?: "Mamma, my bike used to do 42 km/l and is now down to 40.....cries...cries...cries! "

We all agree - got to be seriously disturbed otherwise! - that fuel price is getting more and more of a concern, for all of us, and this is not going to improve. We also all agree that the level of pollution caused by petrol engines is becoming a very serious concern for the whole planet (you know: that big ball we all share, without distinction of country, race. or religion?).

Let's then go back to this example of a 2 km per liter variation, the simple idea of it making some shiver, although being only 5%! Many of you have done some 20k. km since they have their bike, on over some three years. At an average 40km/liter that is a whopping 500 liters altogether, but 5% of it is only 25 liters, or some 8 liters PER YEAR! Come on! Are you serious when you talk about pollution - or about your wallet - there, ....and specially after having bought a bike for its look, for its machism, and not specially for its fuel efficiency? Eight liters over a year!!!

Mad Mik, as well as some Vietnamese fellow bikers I have met here and who like to have a look around the various forums, all did notice how men here are obsessed with mileage! Not my invention: my observation. What do you think their opinion is then, specially the Vietnamese...?

But where this fuel concern becomes really ridiculous, is where one starts considering if carrying some three/ five kilos less would make him save money. I do not have the time to Google all over the web and see what is being said there, but can effectively see that, like many times already, someone comes with a silly idea (all the links that were given giving it the same answer: ridiculous) and it becomes a hoax. That is what the Internet does. However, some have to consider how much fuel is to be put in the tank, and that is what they do all the time: airplanes pilots! Not on cars, and even less on bikes!

The poll that was closed long time ago, here, and asking if people would have liked more power gave a conclusive "Yes!". Seems there is a contradiction there: more power (which this bike LOVES to have, I can tell you!) = more fuel. So what's all the fuss about these so important eight liters... per year??????

Just be sensible.

And to finish, Sunilg: yes, no one forced me to come here. And I did get a very interesting information: the existence of Joel Joseph! Besides that, I have spent a few hours typing answers to quite a few questions, since my years riding bikes total more than the entire life of some here. This to the benefit - I hope! - of who was asking the question in the first place. You are a "super-moderator" here. If you don't like me to come: ban me. It will save me time.

You are missing out on the basic point over here brother... Hear me out and then decide.. I heard form one of my friend who is also from vietnam that the price that you pay over at your place for FZ is almost 2.5-3 lakh INR. This is because of the export and import duty that your govt.has... Now if you compare this i.e the amount that you in vietnam pay is equal to those in india who pays the same price and buys a Ninja 250 or a hyosung 250... So i will tell you one thing. You should just have a look into those groups and tell me how many of them complains about mileage and cries -"Mamma, my bike used to do 32 km/l and is now down to 30.....cries...cries...cries! " sorry but here lies the difference between your country and ours... FZ over at your place is a premium segment bike (moolah/price) and ninja is also a premium segment bike in INDIA.. And Those who have little revenue will have a Honda Cub or Dream, or any of those little two wheelers that use very little fuel, with their very fuel efficient 100cc< 125cc engines, small tires, and very lightweight. those who have little revenue here has the commuter segment bikes @125-150cc... so we will ask for better mileage. I just want to convey to you the thing that... what 150cc at your place is = 250cc in INDIA . and whats 150cc at our place is 100-125cc at vietnam...

And one more thing...its not about banning any one from here... its about the respect you show to your fellow bikers and those from the other countries.. If you dont like people asking about mileage dont reply to those posts... You have no right to insult the people of INDIA brother.... thats it. And in past posts as well i have seen you complaining about various things... If you dont like dont comment ...thats it bro.... We are here to learn... many bikers are joining XBHP and they might have the same question... mileage mileage mileage... so if you have the enthusiasm to help them with the mileage factor do that... else dont read that post and move on ....

And about Joel Joseph...he is also an indian who even thinks about mileage factor and he too has made these racing upgrades like the bigbore.FFE,etc and he says it will increase mileage... and yes it does increases mileage...

Mate...you need to look at the bigger picture...
