    i recently bought my fazer (and im lovin it ) . now the thing is, the twin headlights do not get switched on together. one of them has been designed form low beam, the other one for high beam. Has any you guys tried to get both the lights working at the same time? i mean i spoke to the yamaha showroom guys and they said they wouldnt be able to do it from their end.
    I went to the Yamaha Factory Shop in pune today..
    For the fazer he told me that if we pay an extra of Rs.2000/- he will change the current battary to mantainance free one with higher capacty..
    N he said warranty wont lapse.... then he ll turn on both the lights... with no problems!!

        • @abz - check the fork inner tube for any marks of scoring, or damage, that might cause the seal to get cut and leak.

          Also an improperly installed seal will leak more readily..

            the speed is at 4.5k in 5th gear is approx around 55-60..but you have to keep in mind that rpm is the one to check not speed..
            Ps: this is the forum for fz16,fz-s and fazer combined due to the similarities b/w the machines..
            Exactly. And don't be fooled by the milage. I got about 50-55 and god, was i fooled.

                • FZ16 Economy

                  Can anyone tell me the economy speed for fz16 for city/highway? Different bikes have different economy range right?

                  Thanks.

                      120-60-17 pirelli's cost 2500rs. So somewhere around 3000rs range i guess.

                          That aint right bro. The correct speed is mention'd above. 45-55kmpl. That's the correct range for fz16 bikes. Thanks nand15
