the grade for semi synthetic would be 20w50 and fz needs 20w40 i hope you know that. they would deny to do that but if you have good repo with svc, they might allow it without cancelling your warranty...any specific issue with stock oil ?

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

Thanks i will try downshift and let you know

1) I doubt if u use downshift and engine braking to stop the bike, if you use engine braking to stop the bike, I am sure the gears shift problem will vanish. Unlike any other bikes, Yamaha gearboxes are extremely precise and needs proper practices to function smoothly. Pulling the clutch at 5th gear...and then down shift after the bike has come to a stop will simply not happen. So make sure u keep downshifting while u are decelerating. I recommend this to my friends who own Yamahas.

2) Chain lube spill is absolutely common with every bike which has a open chain type. So not a problem specific to your bike.

3) TRUE. Not very good bite. Very less feedback. Locks up easily too.

4) Not an issue with my bike.

5) keeping headlamp running while engine is OFF is a malpractice. Avoid that. And NEVER EVER apply throttle while trying to start the bike. The bike just wont start. In signals we generally tend to do that out of panic.

No issue but I have heard that motul oil increases smoothness of the bike and has drain interval of 4-4.5 k.

Do keep me posted about your mods.

I am leaving for Goa tomorrow, will get to know how my bike behaves with the tall gearing on a long tour. Will update after the trip.

My ride is Fazer, and I found the mirrors to be okay. the are not excellent, but they work fine if properly adjusted.

the mods done so far to my bikes are :

1. Both headlamps glow in High & Low beams
2. Original philips pilot lamp with 12 year warranty.
3. CREE LED Auxilary lamps on crash guard
4. Mobile phone charger and mobile holder
5. i-pop Blind spot mirrors for better RVMs

Many more modds coming soon ...

I don't think anyone here has done this type of mod and I don't think it would fit.

why you want to do tha..braking is sufficient for the kind of speeds it does. disc setup at the rear will only induce un necesary fishtails...

I am thinking about changing oil to motul semi synthetic.
Will it void the warranty?
Will the people at service center change it if I ask them to?
Members please reply as I have my servicing nearing.
Thanks in advance.

Depends on rapport with SVC. I was running on Motul 3000/5100 throughout my warranty period on FZ v1. There is new Yamalube FS for R15/R3 available at SVC.

Yamaha switched to 10W40 all their bikes except the 100 cc ones. (FZ v1 was 20w40, then 20w50, now 10w40 and r15 was 15w50, now 10w40).

And after all, they had been using R15's 15W50 semisynthetic on customer request over ages.

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

I am writing this on behalf of my roommate who got an FZ 2.0 recently. He says the headlight is not powerful enough to drive safely and he was really impressed by the Philips x-treme vision plus bulbs I got for my gixxer. He wanted to know if he can change the bulb without any issue especially with the battery. I'm guessing fz has an h4 bulb. So can he put the same one I got(Philips h4 12V 60/55W X-treme vision plus) or an osram nightbreaker? If not which would you suggest?

Also, can you recommend a good mobile holder for the bike which might support 5.5inch phone and maybe waterproof case? I have been searching for quite some time for my gixxer too.

installed 15t front sprocket.

Pickup has reduced. The crispiness is gone.

100 kmph coming @7000 rpm. Overall cruisability is good, feels smoother.

My light weight friend could push the bike till 131 kmph (on speedo) while i could do a 128 kmph top.

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

with the higher profile tire, can you please mention at what rpm does the bike do 60 kmph, 80 kmph & 100kmph ??

MRF Zapper S 140/70
rpm / speed
4500 - 60 Kmph
6500 - 80 Kmph
7000 - 100 Kmph

I dont think 80 comes at 6500 .... should be lesser. check again once.

I am back from a long trip to Goa ... and I am happy with the 15T setup.
