yea, change the full set after every 12k kms.. why take chances

the stock yamaha parts are very reliable.. go with the yamaha chain set (in my opinion) it would cost the same..

Thanks. I have tightened the chain. But, i guess it wont last too long now. The chain is normal one or with a link lock?

Cheerz!!

12k kms?? Isn't that too less?? A well maintained chain-set should last more than that. I'm expecting 20k kms.

The chain-set on my friends honda twister lasted 13k km. And this one was with zero (and I mean 0

) maintenance. He never ever oiled the chain. most of the time it was as dry as the handle-bar

. Still it lasted that long. So shouldn't a well maintained one last longer??

Cheers!!

i don't clearly know the chain type..
but if you are facing problems, now would be the time to change it..
i have seen a guys making it way through the traffic and its chain just broke.. also damaged the sprockets.. leave alone the pain of taking the bike to a mechanic after that..

when i went ot the SVC for my service around 12k.. they asked me to get the set changed as the sprockets have started to loose their edges.. i went ahead.. didn't see how much damaged they were.. i don't want to make my bike a pain by breaking on the road..

also i think its given in the manual to get the chain set and some other parts to be changed after every 12k kms..

I doubt if this can be true. A chain starts rusting, the moment it is exposed to some water agent. Also, the chain depends on riding style. Sudden throttling and braking results in more chain related issue.

I guess, 20k is way too long for it to survive (my view).

Yes, will observe for next 200kms how does the chain behave. The sprockets looks absolutely fine, the chain has too much of slack

It won't last long. IIRC you'll see overall drop in performance of your bike - better to change ASAP.

Noob alert:
That price is of chain set = chain + sprocket, right??

earlier i have seen the mechanics remove one link from the chain to cope for the slackness.. but that is not recommended for our bikes as it heightens the risk factor..
you ride and do what's best for your ride.. you can fell her better

Well, to be honest. I haven't seen any significance drop in mileage or so. The only thing that is affected is the pick-up. But, after tightening the chain, its back to normal. Will surely change the set coming monday, will be giving the bike for servicing.

The chain has to replaced completely along with the sprocket set (as told by the mechanic).

Removing one one or more link will affect the strength factor of the chain. Infact, it will add more load on the chain and might go kaput.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

hi,
My chain drive is through 28k and till now no issue,i suggest if lubrication and cleaning is done regularly the chain life will extend till 35/40000 kms.
Lubricate your chain regularly,there are many options available--kluber OKS is good one to go with,,,never lubricate your chain set without cleaning,before applying any lubricator use cleanising agent--kerosene/petrol can also be used..

jai jo...

Hello Everyone,
I am leaving the country this September and i want to sell my yamaha fz16. I dont have much knowledge about bikes so i am posting here to get a knowledge of how much my bike is worth(for the sole purpose of me not getting swindled). I bought my bike on 26th feb 2011. She is 2.5 years old now and has clocked 11k on the odo. Never been in an accident/fall and there are no scratches on the bike. I handled the bike very carefully and i never rev beyond 5k so the bke must have a decent milage(nevr bothered to check it) It is a stock with no aftermarket modifications. The buying price was 77k with insurance. How much will i get for my bike now?

Query Approved and Merged

**chaosaddict** · 07-02-2013, 03:26 PM

Re: Selling my Yamaha FZ16

^^ @Ananth_1992 I would say nothing less than 50k, given the condition you described (I think fz is at least blessed with resale value

)

Re: Selling my Yamaha FZ16

Hi Guys,

Query to be answered. I recently serviced my bike at Excellent Yamaha,
ODO: 29500 Kms

Changed the Chain set, Spark Plug and Clutch and Acce. cables.

Also asked them to check the Oil Seal for the Front suspensions; upon inspection he told me that both steel Rods had to be changed. I got them changed @ around 1150 per rod.

Question is.. are the suspension steel rods under warranty ?

My bike would complete 2 years in Oct '13..

Thanks
