Yamaha FZS 16

Hello Friends,
I Am Ajay Krishna,From Manglore
I Am Using Yamaha FZS 16 Since 2013-November.And Run About 60000kms.
Now I Would Like To Share My Experience And About My Bike.
I Bought It For 93,000rs On-Road(Manglore)
My First Impression:
When Bought The Bike My 1st Impression Was Really Good And I Felt Wich Is More Than Enough For What Price I Paid For The Bike And I Took Some Days To Get Set To The Bike Because Before I Was Using Hero Honda Splendor.So It Was Difficult To Handle My Bike.But Still I Got Set To The Bike After Riding 3000kms.
Service Provided By Yamaha:
The Service Wich Provided By Yamaha Service Center's Were Very Good And Well Trained And Experienced Technicians Were Appointed At The Showroom.And The Services Were Clean And Well Done.And The Response From The Showroom Was Good.The Spares Of Yamaha Bikes Were Of Good Quality And They Have Good Life.But It's A Bit Costly Compared To Other Indian Brands.But They Are Affordable And Price Worthy.
Engine Oil:
*Yamaha Lube 20W40
The Engine Oil Was Providing By The Company Is,Yamahalube 20W40.Wich Was The Correct Grade Of Engine Oil Used For Yamaha FZ16.By The Company Prefference.
I Have Used Many Engine Oils And Different Grades Of Engine Oil To My Bike.Here are Those,
*Yamahalube20W40
This Engine Oil Is A Bit Cheaper And Provided at The Service Center's Wich Was Actually Preffered By The Company.It Costed Me Around 350rs.And The Drain Interval Was 2500-3000kms.This Oil Is Good For The Riders Who Rides Not Above Triple Digit Speeds And Who Rides In An Economy Speed.
*Shell Advance 20W40
This Oil Has Good Lubrication To Engine But Drains Faster.And It's Not Smoother Than Motul.
*Motul 3100 20W40
This Is The Best Engine Oil in Mineral Oils And Feels Smoother While Riding And The Drain Interval Was 2500-3000kms And The Engine Cools Faster It Costed Around 380rs.
*Motul 7100 20W50
This Is The Fully Synthetic Oil Wich Has Drain Interval 6000-7500kms.But When I Used This Oil It Drained In 3000kms And The Oil Level Became Less.So I Personally Say That Don't Use This Oil.it Costed Around 820rs.
*Motul 5100 15W50
This Is A Semi-synthetic Oil.It Was Beyond My Expectation.Its Very Smoother And Refinements Are Very Good Even It's A Different Grade It Feels Very Refined And Smoother To The Engine.And The Heating Was Less.So I Preffer That This Oil Is Better For FZ.It Costed Around 520₹ And Drain Interval Is 3000-4000kms.
My Prefference:Motul 5100 15W50
Motul 3100 20W40

Tyres:
*MRF Zapper FX1 100/80-17
This Is The Front Tyre Preffered From The Company And.The Grip Level Was Amazing In Both Wet And Dry Condition.And also It's Cheaper It Coats Around 1800-2000₹.The Grip Level Is Very Good Till It's 75% Of Life.It Ran About 22000kms For Me.
*MRF Revz 140/60-17
This Is The Rear Tyre Wich Is Preffered By The Manufacturer And It's A Cheaper Radial Tyre Compared To Other Brands.And It's Price Worthy,The Grip Level Was Amazing Till Its Last Thread The Wet Grip Was also Good.And it Costs Around 2800-3000₹.The Tyre Was Really Good.
*Michelin Pilot Sporty 100/80
This Is The Front Tyre And I Don't Preffer This Tyre To Any One Because The Grip Level Is Not A Good One Compared To MRF And The Wet Grip Is Poor.
*Michelin Pilot Sporty 140/70
This is The Rear Tyre.The Grip Level Is Poor Compared To MRF And Its A Bit Costly.If U Put Hard Breaks On Wet Condition Then The Grip is No More.Rider Who Lean Their Bike To Maximum Extent Then Using This Tyre Is Dengurous.
Pirelli Sport Demon 100/80
This is The Front Tyre.The Grip Level Was Amazing And It's Leach like A Grip But At The First 500-1000kms You Should Be Careful While Riding Because It Feels Slippery Because Of The Smooth Rubber After It Becomes Rough The Grip Level Is Amazing.And It A Bit Costly.
Michelin Pilot Street 140/70
This is The Rear Tyre.And The Dry Grip is Inspiringly Good.And Very Stiffer.But This Problem Is U Can't Use the Full Section Of The Tyre The Chikenstips Remain Un Used Even If U Lean For Maximum Extent.
My Prefference:
Front:MRF Zapper FX1 100/80-17
Pirelli Sport Demon 100/80-17
Rear:MRF Revz 140/60-17
Michelin Pilot Street 140/70-17

FZ16 Is The Bike Wich Made For Those Who Has Daily Commuting And Made For Cornering And The Ride Quality Is Just Amazing.Its Not Like The Other Bike In The Segment.The Comfort Is Very Good Even In Long Rides.

Milage:-

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

Thanks for sharing the details. Will try to do it. Not by myself though. I studied electronics & telecom. not electrical engg. So will leave this to the professionals. I'm guessing you are an electrical engineer. Pretty awesome man. I can't even think of fiddling with the electricals in my bike all by myself.

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

Thank you bro.

I am the customizer so lets not talk about the cost here.

I did 17 AWG, 25 TPP.

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

Straightaway I can say that you taken every possible thing into consideration. You thought of increasing the output power before installing those LEDs. So hats off to you for that. Not every one thinks that deep before doing anything that can affect any internal parts. Awesome modifications. By the way how much did it cost you to rewind the windings of that stator? And can you share the necessary details like number of turns etc?

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

Has anyone tried fz25 rear view mirrors on fz ver 2.0? the stock one's are too commuterish, so i was thinking to replace them with the one's on fz 25 or any 3rd party option (but practical)?

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

Excellent stuffs😎

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

Hey bro that's great news to hear that you joined FZS v2 family,
I'm also Bengalurian, first of all congratulations for ur new bike.

Coming to Service thing:
1.If you want warranty for your engine do not go for any other oils, use Yamaha lube, i think its okay-okay, i haven't faced any issues with that.

2.Even changing Headlight cause you to loose battery warranty ( it's your wish as the stock one is not capable enough to ride through dark roads).

3.You are lucky that your gear lever is free to Operate😂, i struggled a lot during my initial days of purchase.

4. My personal suggestions, visit Bangalore Wheels service centre in Rajajinagar than anywhere else since it is a oldest service centres in the city( i have been leaving my vehicle since one year)

Happy riding 😆

All the crazy modifications done to my Fazer Fi : https://youtu.be/mGNGM966Tzw

Do let me know what do you feel about the modds.

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

Hey XBHP !!
I was stalking the thread from past 2-3 months !
I bought new FZ 2.1 or FZ 2.0 whatever they call it, 2 months back. First servicing is done, next service is due in first week of november !

As you people are very experienced, if anyone can spare some time and tell me what should i look for while taking it to service center (Perfect Riders - Jay Nagar, Bangalore).

- Engine Oil - Should i use the Yama Lube or ask the service guy to put Motul in it, if Motul, can you please tell me which number should i go for - ex 20-50 ! My daily ride completed around 45kms ! BTM to Whitefield.

- Headlights - i dont like the stock ones (yellowish), can you suggest which one should i get from amazon (whitish led), easily replaceable.

- Shockups - Bike makes a keeche keeche sound, not sure what causing it. Should i ask him to check or replace shockup oil ?

- Gear - While shifting gear, i feel like it has loose hands, gear shifting is pretty loose or may be its just me.

- Any advice while taking care of this new vehicle ! its my first vehicle in Bangalore (considering heavy traffic and pot holes)

thanks in advance !

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

Osram Rallye HS1 Halogen 62185RL Exterior Headlight Bulb (12V, 45/40W) https://www.amazon.in/dp/B01IDF979I/..._s3kkkuxXiJk6s

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

Can you provide me the amazon link for the product which you are using

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

I personally use the
"OSRAM RALLYE (BILUX® HS1) 12V 45/40W " on my FZS-FI V2.0...its a good upgrade from the stock 30/35 bulb. It has a good focus and has a higher luminous index (suerly much brightef then stock) .. Obviously u have to adjust ur headlight properly for best results ... If u don't mind spending 120rs on it .. Then do try it out .. Its available on amazon ..I got mine from amazon for 110rs ..and its a direct fit no relays no blown fuse uptill now 6 months past ...

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

Thanks for the info, it seems that bikes nowadays come with electrical systems and batteries which are loaded to their full potential so there is no space for adding extra lights or horns.

I think 35w led will be the best option but i really dont like the white light.
