Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

This is a common issue. To get the accurate reading keep the bike in main stand as the sensors are located at one side of tank and keeping in side stand will shift the fuel towards left so incorrect reading.

Congrats for your ride. Waiting for your review and experience.

Hello All

Can you please suggest a good Service center in Bangalore its really difficult to find one. I have a problem I hear clicking sound once engine heat. Tappets are adjusting but still the same. Any one faced the same.

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

yes it looks pretty damaged on one side.

Hello All I have a problem I hear clicking sound once engine heat. Tappets are adjusting but still the same. Any one faced the same.[/QUOTE]I think the problem is not that simple to solve as it is caused by engine overheating, most fuel injected bikes are cooled externally by radiators for the same reason. since fz-fi v2 has no radiators the heat reduces the refinement a bit. as the rainy season has set in you would have noticed when driving in showers the engine feels even more refined and no sound comes from the engine, the refinement increases to a point where you will feel as if the engine is not running at all, it is that smooth when its temperature is low. but as the city riding and tropical heat in our country during summers is quite too hot to keep a fi engine cool without radiators.

Thank you for your reply. Is it a common problem in that case. IS there any solution for the same. PLease do let me know if you are aware of any good service center in Bangalore. Fed up with Pacer Yamaha, Bangalore wheels and orion Yamaha.

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

thanks will surely do that...----consecutive posts auto-merged-----guys today very disappointed with the performance ...first time took it for a long ride and it just looses its composure anything above 80 kmph forget about reaching above 100 even it 100 is a farcry ...suspension is soft and ride becomes bouncy and unstable. ...it was very tiring ....

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

Bouncy ride can also be caused by incorrect tyre pressure. If its on the higher side, ride will be bouncy even on small bumps.

As for bike loosing its steam, Don't know what could be wrong. My 4 year old fz gets to 100 mark without much effort.

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

tyre pressue is front 30 and rear 32 I hope it is in correct zone...have u driven v2 and if yes did u find any difference between both the versions...loosing its steam by this I meant its start screaming especially after 90 and it feels like bike is begging to slow down..on highways its no where near as good it performs in city ..

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

Na, never got chance to ride v2. Tyre pressure is correct.
Ya, its like that. After 90-95, it wants to slow down. Not a highway friendly bike if one likes to stay at high speeds. Shorts bursts are okay though.
Don't worry, the engine will open up more as you clock more kms.

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

thanks mate ....have u done any mod to ur bike...sorry for asking but do u own a ns aswell...

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

Haha.. I get that a lot due to my screen name. But I don't own ns. I do have R15v2 though. Yamaha all the way

My fz is bone stock. Only changed the headlight bulb to 55/60w. You should also do that, its much brighter and helps a lot at night time.

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

I seldom ride at night. the mods i will do is sprocketting and a better fillter to make it rev faster...r15 is a complete package with better braking top end wind protection err offtopic but earlier i used to take fz a better deal than r15 but after owing it for 5 months i now know why r15 much more fun little machin...

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

Ya, R15 is a different story.

There is specific thread on sprockets. You should check that out.

Fed up with Pacer Yamaha, Bangalore wheels and orion Yamaha.[/QUOTE]------------------------------>as for the solution the engine temperature I still have no solution needs more research on a few things that goes into the engine like engine oil & higher octane fuel, may be there is a way to keep engine much more cooler from inside but I still haven't found any answers.regarding service center I have only gone for free services so far at Anurag motors Basvangudi main road, landmark Shell petrol bunk (around 100 meters next to the bunk in a small passage and placed in a basement). they do patiently listen to what you want and do a decent job at service. try them out if you are fine travelling to basvangudi for service.

the ideal cold tyre pressure of FZ-fi v2 is 28 in front and 33 at rear!!! no wonder you were bouncing over small broken roads. the tyre pressure is kept at 28-33 for the same reason when you keep driving the tyres heat up and the air inside the tyre expands incrementally, the hotter the tyre the bigger the expansion. and when tyre gets too bloated up the traction is also lost and so is your grip. better keep tyre pressure as recommended in the service manual.then about the speed, since fz is a street naked bike you are bound to feel tired if you choose to keep your bike at speeds above ~80 kmph. as the cross winds keep hitting your chest, the best way to escape this exhaustion is by ducking on the fuel tank. but that also has limited use as you need a fairing visor in front of the bike like the one on r15. that is why it is easier and much comfortable to do constant ~90 kmph on full faired bikes like R15, CBR & so on (the highway touring bikes) without tiring yourself up. where as a street naked bike is only for power punched city rides with short power bursts.

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

]ohk let me alter the tyre pressur and see what happens...regarding faired bikes man I perfer nakeds more ...its better to carry less plastics...I still think suspension is the culprit here ..do u own fzv2...
