    Hi,

    Let me start by firstly thanking each one of u for the comments you have posted which made me decide on the bike!....

    Was planning to choose a bike....deciding between FZ and dazzler.....(I initially had GS in mind too....but changed my decision after going thru GS150 ownership thread)

    Read thru the complete FZ ownership thread...!! It really helped in identifying my "Soul mate"!

    The thread gave a complete run through on each part of the bike!!....it was an awesome read....

    Am booking the L.O.T.S. today!!!!
    congrats dude.... welcome to the club....

    • Congrats to all new buyers Apart from the new logo, I don't think you would be disappointed at all.

      I finally fell ill today so didn't go to office, and so took the bike for servicing. Front disc pads are gonners. I think my chain would have to be replaced, but they are out of stock in Gurunanak Auto Lounge (Kasarwadi). Any ideas by Puneites where to get me an FZ chain here? Any ideas if any of the other showrooms stocking it?

            I havn't called them up yet.. will do that tomorrow. In the mean time, if anyone knows of confirmed availability of chain in any of the show rooms here, I would really appreciate the info....

            BTW, does the Yam Factory Shop stay open during the weekends / on either Sat or Sun? I still havn't got my horn changed.

                  • Bought the Yamaha FZ-S

                    Hi guys,

                    Its my first time here! I have just booked the Yamaha FZ-S (black/green) and expect delivery next Saturday. What are the things I should look at and ask/confirm from the dealer before taking my bike out of the shop? I read here that one of the things is to check for scratches. But anything other than that?

                      I really don't recommend 100W!
                      get 55W.

                      • Sometimes, when I semi-rip my bike (quick acceleration and speeds of 70+), and when I stop at a signal, a burning kind of smell comes from the bike. This does not happen if I do sane driving.

                        Anything to worry about?

                          Take a quick test ride and make sure the bike is running fine to your satisfaction, before you sign the delivery note.

                          Also, check the toolkit. The Allen key in my toolkit was missing.

                          You can also enquire about the cost of accessories in the market(crash guard etc.) while you wait for the bike.

                              the smell is partly from the engine and partly from the tires.... it comes from my bike as well... when i rip it at 90-100 after sometime,.....
