    Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

    Hi guys yesterday I changed the engine oil and oil filter of my fzs fi by my self this is first time I did it by my own I usually give it to the nearest Yamaha service center for this bike, I service my apache 180 by myself, after unscrewing the drain plug I searched for a crush washer but it wasn't there I thought this was the default design and plugged it and changed the oil, today I found the washer in the oil drain pan it had actually fell into it while unscrewing. There is no dripping/leaking of oil from the drain plug I rode my bike for one day I usually ride aggressively at higher rpms and the roads are also not good at my area the drain plug is not loosened and no oil is dripping should I remove the drain plug and put the crush washer back or should I put it when I next service it I don't want to waste my engine oil please advice, thanks

    Hello all,

    Hope all are enjoying the beast.

    I have Yamaha fzs fi odo is 31k kms. Now I am planning to change my rear tire.

    I am planning to change ceat zoom xl tire, But the size of the tire is different. Can anyone give me your input for tires.

    I usually go for long drives 3months once 800kms. Daily 20kms. This is my usage. I usually do bend and cut while driving.

    The previous setting was inlet=0.8mm and outlet at 0.12mm.
    After riding for 5 days now my observation has been that pickup is a little agressive from lower speeds.
    bike reacher approx 60kmph in short time but it feels a little sluggish to reach top speeds.
    the max i could achieve was 97kmph.
    also, across the full revs band the engine feels like it is very free and nothing is holding it.
    I am planning to revert to 0.8 and 0.12 this weekend as i feel it gives me best of both pickup and top speed.
    Hai Bro,
    Can you pls share a video or DIY post fro how to adjust the valve clearance?

    Ok thanks Jithin.
    I have set my valve clearances to 0.10 mm for both intake and exhaust valves.
    Low end torque has improved, can sense a feeling of strong pull.
    Is the source from where you heard about .10mm clearance coming from a reliable source?

    The hood like thing on which you see YRCS is designed to redirect air towards the sparkplug for better heat management. I think its just a marketing gimmicky feature.
