    Erm.. that's just some idiot who overlaid an inline 4 cylinder bike's sound on the video with Akrapovic sticker tapered onto his FZ stock exhaust. I hope you have thought about it thoroughly before posting this question.

      I'd suggest you take your bike back to the SC, tell them to re torque all the bolts, ride another FZ, am sure they'll oblige.

      as rylan said, take the bike to SVC and get it checked.. you never know when a small glitch can become a big problem..
      The SVC guys are absolute useless creatures. Had told them about this and thay say "ye to normal hai, bike mein aayega hi".

      Will try to get the bolts tightened. Fingers crossed :banghead:

      Cheerz!!

        After riding for around 9000kms,what all preventive measures are to be taken? Clutch is getting loose very often and gearshifts are thus becoming clunky. Engine sound has also increased a bit. Does it mean adjusting the timing chain?

          Cam chain assembly in our bikes has an inbuilt auto chain tensioner so no need to mess around with it. Cam chains usually have a life of around 60-80,000 kms provided the engine oil and routine servicing has been maintained. You will most likely have to get the clutch cable replaced which costs just 89 - 95 bucks. Which engine oil are you using BTW?

          Cheerz!!
          How old is your bike? Don't forget it has a single cylinder engine so vibrations are bound to happen. If it is really vibey then time to check the chain and the engine mount bolts that's about it. I can't think of any other reason. Which engine oil are you using BTW??

            Using Motul Fully Synthetic 20w50. But as far as my visual inspection,clutch cable seems fine.I maybe wrong though. Can I examine the cable when it is taken out? Also can anybody tag a picture showing a burnt clutch plate? The SVC guy had assured me that he would physically open the engine head and check out everything during next service.should I let him do that?

              Well if he is going to do that then all he needs to do is just open the side where the gearbox and the clutch plates are situated which is the right side of the engine block. Unless you have been unknowingly running her on half clutch since, the last 9,000 kms or else there was a manufacturing defect from the company itself, i highly doubt, clutch plates would die so easily. My bike till it was stock at 26,000 kms the plates had some scratch marking but it was still good to go for another 10,000 kms. Clutch life depends on a lot of factors. Now it has been RC'd so cannot comment about the future life.. though stock brakes are still going strong to my utter surprise!!

                Thanks for the info.I dont ride with clutch pressed,am sure about that.he had opened the right side of the engine cover once while changing the clutch return spring. If there are several scratch marks on clutch plate,that meana its time for change,right?

                  If you had a burnt clutch then you will be writing about why my engine keeps revving so high at slower speeds.

                  How old is your oil?
                  Sounds like you may need to change it.

                    Agree with you that, vibes will happen. But, as soon as i am reach 4000 rpm i.e 57kph, a strange vibe comes and i understand that i have reached 4000rpm. Have observed this in the top gear. A typical vibration like "zzzzz" can be felt. But, it fades out gradually as the speed increases. Got it regularly serviced, regular oil changes.

                    Bike is 1.3 yr old.

                    Engine oil - BPCL MAK NXT changed on 05/05/13.

                    The vibe has been coming from the start. The SVC guys say "ye to aayega, bike hai".

                    Any idea, whether the mid-range torque for the bike is on higher side?

                    Cheerz!!

                      I religiously follow oil change durations and keep checking levels. Oil has done only 900kms since last flush.
                      Thanks MadMik for the info,never had a burnt clutch plate experience.So didnt know how to identify the problem. Will get the clutch cable changed if necessary. So I dont need to touch the timing chain then,right? Sorry for asking so many questions,I would rather ask than screw up my ride's engine. Wanna keep her for a long time.

                        Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

                        Today while riding on my usual route, experienced a strange thing, while relaxing the throttle ( from 50-60 Kmph) the bike is getting shaky (I am not getting the right terminolgy) like shivering, I mean as if its riding on an uneven surface, the effect is not large, but present nonetheless, I never experienced this before on my FZ and is always rock solid even when i let the throttle off, but today its shaky as if its in higher gear

                        What might me the problem, is it the tyres? anything else?

                        I will give the bike for it's 2nd service in 1-2 days, so how should I explain the problem to the SVC people?

                          U might be experiencing 'deceleration wobble'. Please do check your tires for uneven wear. If the front tire isn't excessively worn then check the steering bearings which is most likely the culprit in this case.
                          Hope this helps

                            Buddy I also used to get the same vibes u are talking about after hitting the 4k rpm.
                            these are the few sujestions for you which may lead to reduction of vibes.
                            1. switch to yamalube SS grade.
                            2. Oiling the chain after every 500 km
                            3. cleaning the air filter after every 500 km
                            4. maintaining the tyre pressure to optimum level( I prefer 30 front and 35 rear)

                            these steps have reduced my byk vibes. Now I feel the vibes around 80kmph. You can try these steps
                            Biker is not recognised by its byk but love for his byk

                              the bike is 2 months old, so I dont think there is a chance of tyre worning out so fast (correct me If I am wrong) , but I doubt there is some damage to tyre, which I didnt thoroughly check!

                              How to check the steerings bearing? just tell the SVC guy?

                                Whoa, then it ain't your tire buddy, it mostly is the steering bearings. Um, I dunno what u gonna tell the SVC folks though.
