Turn to RES only when it starts coughing, else it will stall only after the 1+ liter in RES is over. Then you have to push it all the way to pump and also have to fill up the reserve. Don't mind it blinking

Engine Oil

OK here is the dissection after the repair.
Got back my bike, its super smooth, small vibes but that is the chain.
My bike did not digest Motul 15w50 FS. 500 km's and it was down and out. NO idea why this happened though Back to Yamalube SS

There can b only 3 possibilities:

1) Motul fake one was used to fill your bike up.
2) The mechanic/svc didn't fill the right amount.
3) The piston rings may have worn out.

500 kms is just too low for any grade engine oil to get depleted. One ideally should do a periodic check of oil level at around 3000kms for FS oil.

1. is it doable, will it damage the engine?
2. is the stock pipe single or double(one more pipe inside)?
3. is the stock pipe(s) made of steel? (inner/outer)

Any idea how to weld the pipes? also what kind of welding should i do?
I know there are good FFEs out there, but being a student i don't have that kind of money to spend, plus not a fan of loud noise.
please gimme some inputs,
thanks guys

I have tested that with Stock exhaust & Tech Hardy FFE,
found no hit on engine till 1200 km & still going on
Sound goes high but engine becomes relaxed at top end.

Looks awesome

You can get Those from AH helmets near Infinity Mall, besides lotus petrol pump, Adarsh Nagar,Andheri West,mumbai

The HID with Projectors and Angel lights [China] will cost you Rs3500.
If you only want Angel lights it will cost you Rs.450

ask him for the mechanic Brijesh who will help you fir those in the headilght because its very difficult to open the front glass of the Headlight.

****but you have to use the HID's only when necessary bcoz it will drain out your battery !!

dear friend, where can i get this same hid with projector and angel eye over it in thane or near by andheri, and are this chinese or same branded???

Not much one can do. I'd suggest you inform the Yamaha back office about it.

Hey guys am planning to opt for a 20w40 Mineral oil and two have popped up after searching, they're Motul 3000 and Yamalube. But just before making the final choice I'd like your opinions on the same, especially since you've probably used both on your rides by now.
Thanks in advance guys.

YAMALUBE.... as per my experience

**dnyanesh** · 02-13-2012, 12:58 AM

I had complained to the SVC about roughness in riding my bike. They fixed it and after that I've noticed that my fuel efficiency has gone down. It's hit a all time low of 21KMPL and I am known to drive in Splendor Mode all the time. I hardly go beyond 55 Km/Hr and all with all the traffic in the city, 55 Km/Hr is not bad.

What's wrong?

Motul 3000..btw the yamalube(black square bottle) is actually motul 3000. but some friends said that there's some minor diff in the quality grade between the yamalube and motul. if available go for motul 3000(its mineral)

The only thing that i can think of is:

1) Carb AFR setting too rich.. check the spark plus, if it is dark then my suspicions are true.
2) Valve clearence and air filter cleaned.

Fz-16 kmpl?

Hi All,

My bike has 1500 Km on the ODO. The first Free service has done.
Current mileage is 38 KMPL. (Only city driving condition. Speed is almost 50/60 KMPH)
Is this normal ?
Its almost same as my 2006 Royal Enfield Electra 5S.
I am using normal petrol for my bike.

Thanx
KALINGA
