Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

There is some kind of fluid leak from the bottom of the engine when the engine is running. Not exactly Oil or Water. There is no leak if engine is off, but as soon as I start the bike i can see fluid on the road below. Any idea?

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

You will have to change the alloy, preferably both because new alloy are different in Design.
Front disk are different.

Then break pedals needs to be replaced. All the fluid systems to be fitted.

Almost 10-15 k you will have to spend for the modification if it is possible to do.

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

You can have a look at Michelin Pilot Street 140/70 R17


Have heard good reviews about the tyres
These are radial tyres
The only con is that they are a bit expensive

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

Ok thanks i will ask sc for that parts when service my bike

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

I don't have any idea about the price of the parts for that you will have to contact the Yamaha ASC.
If you can successfully retrofit the disc brakes do post it in the xbhp forum.

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

No problem we can u a small pace and place the fluid reservoir under the two bar
but the problem is the alloy wheel
Whats the price of new fzs alloy wheel and disk set ??
And the Yamaha service will fit the the disk or i need to buy the Yamaha alloy wheel and disk set from Yamaha service and give it to a local macanic for fitting

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0


Well this part is also there on the disc brake variant but they have give fluid reservoir much above it because this place is too near the pillion footrest and by chance the pillion steps on it or hits it by foot the reservoir will break and the brake fluid will leak out and the brakes wont work. You won't find any bike have brake fluid reservoir near pillion footrest.
The brake fluid is the most important part of a disc brake because when we brake the brake fluid creates the pressure which in turn pushes the disk pads.

Welding on frame why idont think welding required on frame if we want that oil contenar (i dont know whats called the oil box) we can attach the oil contenar back side foot peg there are space awailable for fitting

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

These are aftermarket brakes , these are not the brakes which are designed for fz and manufactured by yamaha
You can easily do these kind of modification job on any bike modification shops you can even add dual front disc brakes on fz just like superbikes , its a machine made of metal you can mod it any way you want but these kind of aftermarket mods are not at all recommended because it is a brake after all and its not recommended to play with brakes which are not specifically made for the fz.
I was talking about retrofitting the disc from a fz which has disc brakes manufactured by yamaha specifically for fz only. Its safe to retrofit if its a direct fit only, but in this case you will have to do welding on the frame, drilling on the alloys which will affect the strength of the alloy and may mess up everything.

I saw many videos on YouTube
Look

But its old its possible
I dont know the price of the new alloy wheel
And disk set

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0


Ya I know there is space between the wheel and the swingarm but the space may differ on the disc variant, moreover the disc is fitted on the alloy with bolts and the drum variant does not have disc mounting points to fit the disc with bolts may be alloys has to be changed for fitting the disc. The disc variant gets new alloys which are present on fz 25. You will even have to weld on the frame to make a mounting point for the brake fluid.I am not sure but I thing near the right footpeg there is the master cylinder for the rear disc brake and that part looks different.
Doing all these will cost a lot.
I was also interested to retrofit the rear disc on my fz but after doing a lot of digging I found it not easy I am just waiting few days , will ask the service center if the job of retrofitting is possible.
If you can contact the service center I think they would know if the job is possible or not.




The Pulsar ns 160 has a rear drum brake but its alloy has mounting points for rear disc brake which is not present on our drum variant fz.

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

I think Disk version and drum version Are same machine

There are space available

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

Replace the tyres as soon as possible, damage on the sidewalls of a tyre is a big threat.
Mrf revz (radial) series tyres have this issue majority of the people have faced cracking of sidewalls.
You may look out for mrf zapper/masseter series tyres or other brands like ceat zoom, michelin, contigo but you will get them in 140/70 profile.
I am using the zapper s 140/70 and its performing very good.

It wont be a easy task would require a lot of modifications, and if the fz drum version's swingarm doesn't have enough space it might be impossible to fit.
Gixxer also has a rear disk and a drum variant and from the gixxer xbhp forum member's feedback its not possible to retrofit a rear disk on drum version of gixxer so on fz the possibilities are less.
