  • Hey guys.............has any one tried K&n filter in their FZ16?

    I have heard people fitting them (not just k&n may be other ones) on other bikes and are happy with the performance.
    Does Pickup, performance & FE really increase?

    Excuse me, if I am not in the right thread.

    • hi guys, just want to ask....does the FZ-S windshield can be fitted to the FZ-16? will you need to drill holes on the fz16 upper portion of the headlight?

      thanks in advance

        i guess its a straight fit...the windshield bolts to an already existing provision i guess,i can confirm it tom!

          • Trip of 550km

            Guys...today went on a small tour of 550km return with my friend pillion.....
            I would like to share some thoughts with you all.....
            As of now the ODO stands at 7900...

            1. Pick-up was little OK....not good...this i came to know while trying to
            overtake other vehicles on the highway....
            2. Engine was very hot(obviously)....guess due to the mineral oil and not
            the semi-synth....so on that front it was nice....
            3. I dont know why but the there were vibrations in the handle bar and
            front and rear foot pegs after the bike crosses 80km/h....
            4. Bike didnt touch the three figure mark even once...
            5. Mileage i got would be around 40-42 at speeds above 60km/h always...

            I Had lubed my chain 3 days back and serviced the bike 20 days ago....
            So what could be the reason for vibrations and no top end?????

            Do your bikes also have vibrations after the speed of 80???

                • I hope everybody knows this but the monoshock suspension is the best suspension for our indian roads.
                  Also the comfort is great. So is there any way I can make the rear seat of the fz bigger and comfortable for a pillion rider. I want to make it like the HOnda unicorn . Please suggest any methods and the approximate cost.

                  • guys whenever u get your bike back from service , check all the bolts properly , coz for my bike they had put a larger bolt than required in the saree guard and as a result when i went over a bump , the bolt went under the tyre hugger and cut it open ... , i've covered up the cut with a sticker but , the shape is bent and looks stupid from behind ... where can i get a new one ??? i've heard that it costs around 170rs , but i don't know where to get it ...

                    regarding the seat , i think some members here have added foam to their p220's seat without altering the shape , so have to check and see if that is possible on the FZ ...

                      Its rs.110 only!
                      If we're talking about the Tyre Hugger..
                      Universal place where you get all those spares of ur Fz.... The Yamaha service center or yamaha spares shop.

                        The thing which goes real change is the engine note.. Its gruntier beacuse with K&N the bike runs on richer mixture.
                        Fe drops, Slight/minor change in Performance and Acceleration.

                          the same happened to me dude if there is a pillon and moves over a hump i get some sound and the wheel guard has ripped..
                          try the service centre you will get it done
                          and where did you get that done anyways?

                            Bro, how much economy will drop? You are talking about up-jetting it right?
