Can you check it under normal riding conditions... i am not too mileage conscious... but as i always say a lil more mileage(under normal riding conditions a 42-45 is really good for FZ) is the only thing that seems missing in FZ...

I really don't ride in the normal riding condition to obtain the best mileage. I constantly rev it up above 80. But I think with Iridium, the bike shud give 42+ mileage if riding to the condition of sanity

These worthless, corrupt traffic cops do not deserve new bikes. They are better with the old enfields.... no offence to the royal enfields

I don't think the cop will agree for the FZ...Dude they cry for money and if the FZ does not give the mileage they want it will make even worse for them So i think Yamaha should just shut the F**K up and sell the bike to Ppl u really care and who can ride the bike's not some Cheap Cops who don't care...They should just stick to bike that give them mileage half the cops cant even ride straight and they tell us that we are breaking the rule's

FZ16 for the COPS . Checked out the spec sheet on the sly , ( they din't wanna show it . got into a lil bit of trouble wid da security for gettin pic , he was ok after i told him i had come to giv mine for service

), it's the same as our FZ's . this particular one is a demo bike , waiting for the approval from the police . Bear with the pic quality , thats all my ROKR can manage .

...

Just HAD to add this , wen i went the SVC was closed , this thing was jus gettin unloaded from the truck , i went around looking for a tea shop and by the time i got back , this bike was washed , dried and was getting polished

NO NO NO NO NO NO. I cant believe this is happening. No way. It cant be true. B'lore cops dont deserve the FZ. Heck they dont deserve TVS -50 s too...

Hey Gautam. Make sure u tell them what are all the problems you are facing with the bike. If u had mentioned them here it would have been useful. Get the oil changed. I'm guessing you must be close to 1k km on your odo. I'd reco getting the chain cleaned too. Adjusting levers and brakes is something they are bound to do but mentioning that too wouldnt harm anyone. And if possible make sure they change the oil to whatever they say they are changing and not just top up or put in some shitty oil...

guys,any idea what mileage you would get if the carb is adjusted toward the max power possible?

**perestroika** · 02-11-2010, 12:16 AM

hey guys... bought my fazer a few days back. the mileage im getting is quite good. Last checked, it gave me 176 kms for 3 ltrs. im measuring the mileage by reserve to reserve method. i never throttled the bike above 4500 rpm & 60 kmph.
will be getting the first servicing done this weekend.

thought it was only for the mumbai police...dont cops here have pulsars in various colours(white,cheetah etc)to serve them.Frankly speaking,FZ is not exactly a wise choice for these purposes...

In the first 5000km of my friend's fz, the tuning was kept toward the maximum power and with rash driving he got 34-36 in city and 40 in highways.

I don't know much about tuning except that the first time you get the bike from showroom, it comes pretuned toward maximum or near to maximum power. Same is the case when you give for service and not specify the tuning.
You can still turn 3-4 times the tuning screw toward maximum power setting.
I have also tried tuning it toward less power and the pickup is not so bad either.
I now get 50 plus mileage.

176 for 3 litres would translate to 59 km for a litre. This would be surely great for a fazer. Were you riding in the highway or city?
