Yeah, old gen FZs are gem. They require very less maintenance. If you are travelling more often in highway, I prefer you to put Michelin Pilot Street (not Sporty) 140/70 R17 tyres, you will gain some more speed in each gear, like 84-85kmph in 6000rpm than 79-80kmph. Also, for slightly responsive throttle & fuel economy, use NGK CR8EIX Spark plug, 600/-, it doesn't need adjustments/regapping, will last 25K kms.

I didn't spend much in my 49k km ownership. Why didn't he replace the cylinder kit & piston also, only piston rings!

Ya he said he observed only black smoke and the engine coukd sustain for
another 8-10k

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Hi, can you help me decide to buy the new tire?

A. Pirelli Angel city 140/70
B. Pirelli Sport demon 140/70.

For the front tire, I have selected Pirelli Rosso 2 110/70

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

New issues lately (UPDATED : SOLVED MYSELF)

1. Bike won't start on just self start. Need to give slight throttle. (Used to start without throttle before) (Issue : Chock was on)

2. (During neutral) Need to keep on giving throttle every few seconds to keep bike engine ON. Otherwise engine turns off. (Issue : Chock was on)

3. (During neutral) When high throttle is given and released, bike seems to be still accilerating with some RPM and throttled engine sound, even when accilerator is fully released. (Issue : Chock was on)

4. Some kind of power drop with a 'bhoom' sound once in a while when riding. (Still there. Need help)

Thanks.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

I am planning to get a used Fzs 4 yr old model. Everything looks fine but some burning smell seems to be coming from engine. Should I buy it at 50k?

Nope. I bought a 3 year old perfect condition bike for 40k. And get a mechanic along to check before buying the bike.

No. Burgain for less than 40k. If white gray smoke is coming from the exhaust while revving, it means piston rings, cylinder bore & piston are damaged, it can also damage the valves & valve seats. The cost of repairing will go around 10k including labour costs.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Just crossed 50k in odo day before yesterday. Still it is going strong.

So far replaced or repaired:
1. Clutchplates assembly once.
2. Intake & Exhaust valves once.
And, other consumables like Brake pads, cone sets, fork oils, three set tyres etc etc.

Now, bike is giving white smokes only when the bike is revved hard in cold (I saw it today in SVC). Cylinder Piston Piston Ring needs replacement.

Suitable engine oil in which the engine felt responsive is Motul 300v 10w40, and smoothest in Motul 5100 15w50, so far.

Iridium plug (NGK CR8EIX) made the engine more smooth and a slight urgency in throttle response.

Also the michelin pilot street 140/70 r17 made the bike a little more speed in a gear than before. And, 15T front sprocket from Yamaha R15 v2 made the bike a little more relaxed in highway 95-100 kph cruising, but replaced with stock for struggle in city rides.

Overall a good reliable machine from yamaha. Planning to give it to my friend as I upgraded my ride to R15.

Here are very few memories with that machine. Hope you guys like the very small ownership experience.

Yes. I went to north sikkim twice, and the roads here in WB are hell in monsoons, also places are prone to leaks for industrial areas.
Stock front replaced at ~25k, then 2nd one at ~48k, running on 3rd.
Stock rear at 16k, then at ~40k, running on 3rd.

Get any maintenance free one. My choice would be Amaron.
