Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0


yup i was fortunate to escape from major injuries.


where can i get the stickers? for tank, i checked with the SVC folks and they said you have to replace the complete panel?

can you please let me know, i have the FZ FI V2 with gold graphics, ( the first generation fZ FI) bomber black.

you know place or online where i can get the stickers.

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0


Lucky that you are not hurt bro...

1. for tank scratches - get a sticker (Cheaper way)
2. air scoop - I assume you mean the side panels which costs around 400 INR
3. Number plate you can get outside also which costs around 100 - 200 INR
4. handlebar bent - New handlebar costs around 300 INR (don't know exact price) if the service center cannot be able to repair the bend.
Also if there is any hit on Forks then the cost will add up.

5. clutch lever costs of around 120 INR

plus service charge and 18% gst

Yes you can claim insurance and again plastic parts won't be covered unless you have bumper to bumper insurance. If you have one then 100% will be claimed else you won't get whole 100%
if you are claiming under insurance inform the service center while leaving your bike and they will be giving you a form to fill up and you need to call the insurance company customer care to inform the accident and to get case number.

Once the case number is registered, the representative will visit the service center to see your bike. SVC guys will give you the quote to you and to the representative to repair your bike and the insurance company representative will give you the amount after some 3 weeks (again this is based on insurance company).

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

ah, today i escaped a major accident. a stupid girl was crossing the road texting and she confused the whole traffic and to save her i had to panic brake and fell down at 40 speed.

my bike got badly hit with some broken parts! luckily i was wearing gloves boots and helmet. not a scratch on me , but my bikes crash-guard did not protect it that much!

damages to bike: ( what would the cost for each spare part replacement, also are all spares available today? )

1. tank got scratched
2. air scoop broken
3. the number plate holder broken
4. handlebar bent
5. cluth lever scraped

I have to go to SVC tomorrow to fix her. can someone please tell me based on your experience what would the total cost involved to replace these parts.

also, i am covered with insurance, can i claim? if so, what is the process. please help guys!

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

Well the rear brake of FZ tend to lock up quite easily. So its better to first slow down the bike using the front brake then apply the rear one. But its easier said than done. So it'll need some used to. I've been doing it and haven't faced those total lock up moments since. Also its advisable to use the front-rear brake at 70-30 ratio.

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

For any bike you need to apply the front and back break together to stop the bike immediately when you are at high speed.

And fz has a drum break at the back
It's not strong as a risk break.

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

Do services in regular intervals.your bike will be fine

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

I have run my fz for 12k kms. How long will the engine last before it needs some engine works. Is there anyone who have crossed 50k kms? Will the fi cause you any problem on long run??

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

Are you talking about the carbon cleaning solution available at Yamaha SVCs?

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

Thank you so much bro for the information.

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

Hi Guys,

Anybody tried carbon oil? Does it really effective and how to use it?

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

There is a chance for scratches on engine casing where the bolt seats and maybe it will leak thereafter.

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

There's no oil leakage/dripping/drop in oil level so I guess I'll leave I like that and put the crush washer during the next service [emoji22] [emoji22]

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

The tyre you have mentioned is a 140/70 tyre which is a higher profile tyre compared to the stock 140/60 tyre. I am using mrf zapper s 140/70 tyre from the past 1 year. And is performing pretty well. There are both pros and cons of using a higher profile tyre. The only major con is that your bike will get tall geared which will impact slight drop in pickup and frequent gear changes on stop and go traffic. Coming to the pros, you will gain a bit of top end, my bike currently does 95kmph at around 6500 rpm And its a round profile tyre so cornering is better with this tyre. The ride height will also increase a bit so may be a bit difficult for shorter riders.
