That was really informative. You have some good diy skills, keep posting more videos.

BTW on my fzs v2 whenever there is a bump I get a squeaking sound from the rear, sounds like when you sit on a sofa whose springs have gone kaput.Though the sound is so minimal and low that I dont hear unless I am really focusing.
Can this be due to the swingarm bearings though I dont have any vibration or bike pulling one side issue as you mentioned.
PS I have my preload adjusted to the hardest setting.

Hi. Odo is around 22k.... pickup is okay but not consistent

Also, the gear shifting will not be smooth, a bit jerky.

Gear shift is smooth however if I release clutch it's not so smooth. And acceleration is not consistent

Engine hiccups?

Yes... Many a times engine stops... I think it maybe because low idle rpm setting

22K is too early for a clutch replacement, btw the clutch life also depends on the riding style.
You can do a check, put your bike on the center stand start the bike & put it on the first gear, when your rear wheel starts spinning press the rear brake. If you see that the bike did not stall then your clutch plates have 100% gone kaput.

See, it seems your clutch lever free-play is more, I mean, clutch lever is loose, make it 10mm as instructed in manual, then reply back what happened. A worn out clutch will not allow smoother shifts & also you will feel lag while accelerating hard.

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

doubt for 2nd free service**
Hello as per the service coupon the 2nd free service is scheduled For 3000 kms or 130 days from date of purchase of motorcycle whichever is earlier. So currently my odo reads 1700+ kms so should I do my 2nd service when my odo reads approx 2950 kms or the 1000 kms (prior to 1st free service) + 2950 kms i.e. 3950 kms. Also mention the points which I need to get done during this 2nd free service. Since my daily commute is of total 47 kms the odo is munching at faster rate compared to date of purchase. The 2nd free service is mentioned on 23rd may 2018 but I guess 2950 kms will be completed in April itself

The numbers mentioned on the booklets and on coupons are ODO meter reading. Once you touch ~2900 KM on odometer, go for service. Dont look at trip meters. Look at ODO.

You asked this question, so putting it in detail.
If you miss by one km, you will lose warranty and extended warranty, if you have paid for it.

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

Help... I have installed 40t chain sprocket in my bike( version 1 chain sprocket) . Changed from a local mechanic( had a medical problem and was not able to go to svc which is 23 kms from my home). Will it cause any problem to the engine or fuel injection system?

Hello XBHPians,

Today I bought my first bike FSZ FI V2, the Dual Disc variant.

I had practically zero experience riding a bike before (just about 200m, a couple of years ago). My father was a scooter guy (girnar, chetak - 2 & 4 stroke, and activa). But my car riding knowledge and youtube videos on 'how to ride a motorcyle' helped me drive her home safely on a Monday afternoon in Bengaluru. I had asked earlier the dealer to deploy somebody to drop the vehicle home. But after taking the bike around, I felt I could handle her. Got a full tank. Rode slow and cautious, mostly left lane,... I made the first 17km from the showroom to my home.

And it was an experience, a beautiful one. Driving and gear shifts were smooth. Vehicle felt light. She took the potholes of Bengaluru very well. After riding about 10km, I could feel a certain confidence riding the bike. It was very different from riding a scooter. I was tensed, but felt at ease.

After a few initial hiccups, the gears were falling in place - thanks to the Youtube Vloggers who explained this while doing their bike reviews. The downshifting and the sudden hike in rpm on consol was something new.

I am having trouble understanding gear shifting. In car, I change as per the vibrations (Alto 800) and roughly follow 10-20 - 2nd gear, 20-30 - 3rd gear, 30-40 - 4th gear, 40+ - 5th gear. On FZ, I'm shifting up at 3000- 4000 rpm when the engine is revving. When is it apt to shift down? As soon as I get hold of uphill and gearshifting, I'll be hitting the roads for office commute.

Things I wish this bike had: 1) Separate direction indicators displaying which side is actually on. 2) Closed pillion grab rail which could double up as helmet lock. 3) Gear indicator.

Nothing great to say about showrooms. I had visited 5 Yamaha, 2 Honda, 2 Suzuki and a Bajaj Showroom. After I had decided on FZ, I chose the one which had many reviews (implying it sells many bikes) and not many bad reviews. None of them sold me the bike, I just bought it from one of them. Everyone just want you to book the vehicle instantly, pay immediately and get it delivered whenever you want it. 3 pages related to PDI from was torn from the Service & Warranty Handbook even before I could read it. When asked, I was told that it was for filing! The mechanic who came during delivery had some words of advice.

Buying the bike was otherwise a great learning experience. XBHP & youtube reviews (Sawant Life, Rachamalla, Faizal Khan, Dino, Bigbang biker) helped me zero in on this bike. I should make a special mention of PDI thread. Look forward to continued association with the forum.

When you ride casually , you can shift at 4000 rpm, if you are riding hard then shift up at 6000 rpm. If the bike has not crossed 1000 kms, don't keep the bike over 4000 rpm for long time.

Congrats on your new bike. Upshifting at 3-4k is good for break in period. Downshift according to your driving speed. Dont complicate with the rpm meter. Just downshift with the speed. Keep driving regularly , you will get it easily. After some days you will find riding bike more fun than gearless scooters.

Also its a good choice you selected yamaha fz, because honda bikes are not that great in handling and for newbie it would have been safe with fz. Happy motoring[emoji3]
