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


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


yup i was fortunate to escape from major injuries.

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

Hi guys, i am planning to get a new bike. I am coming from Apache 160, i have shortlist the fz 2.0.
I am happy with my Apache 160, as my bike is nearing 6 years, I am planning to buy new bike. I am considering the FZ 2.0.
I don't cruise at high speeds >80. My driving style is around 60-80 kph. How good is the bike in this range. How good is the low, mid end torque of the bike. How the bike performs along with the pillion. would be enough power in band of 60-80 kph.
Thanks please share your thoughts.

The Milage Factor

Hello,Im Arunjit from kolkata,I own a 2015 FZS fi V2,In stock condition im getting milage around 40-45,In last few months I have experimented a lot with my bike,I have put KN conicial air filter,then changed stock to iridium spark plug and high voltage cable .Then I have changed my front sprocket from 14t to 15t of pulsar 150 and now Im getting a milage about 52-57 kmpl,shifting up quickly and keeping revs under 5000rpm.But if i put a ffe exhaust then milage decreases to wooping 32 kmpl with high revs and quick accleration.Hope this is helpful,Thankyou.This is totally my personal experince .

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

Ha ha buddy u made a good decision to purchase fzs fi
Don't worry , it has good refined engine as well as well tweeked chasis that can assure your road grip at any point of time in any circumstances.

As of now my bike has clocked 3000 odd , it still smells like a new one. It is giving me mileage of 42-43 in city and 46-50 on Highways.

No extra money is needed to maintain this , Thanks to Yes! Yamaha's quality.

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

Hello there , everyone. Firstly , this is my first post as an xBhpian , so cheers.
I'm planning to get a bike very soon. My choices were Suzuki Gixxer vs. Honda Hornet vs. Yamaha FZ-S v2.0. In all honesty , I don't like Bajaj , so the new Pulsar NS160 or even the NS200 or Pulsar 220 were not considered.
I went for test rides of both , The Gixxer and the Hornet. The Gixxer had to be eliminated because the pillion seat is too small. I will have to take my mother around on the bike , so it was a tough elimination. I rode the Hornet , on which my mom was more comfortable , but then , it wasn't a satisfactory experience. Some of you may agree with me that the level of comfort , engine refinement , gearbox smoothness of the regular Honda Unicorn is missing on the Hornet. I love the Unicorn and didn't find the same experience here. I could also consider the Unicorn , but it's way too dated a design for me to think of.
So even if I keep the Hornet in the short listing , I have the Hornet vs. The FZ-S. Will be test riding the FZ-S today.

So my requirements are :
Comfort to ride in the city , especially Hyderabad traffic and the worst possible roads ever.
Occasional trip to college , which is a 100 kms travel (50 kms to and fro) , maybe 2-3 days a week
Occasional long distance rides of 200-300 kms (once a month)
Pillion comfort
Engine refinement
Light Clutch
Reliability.

I've rideen the Yamaha FZ v1 , which to this day remains one of my favorite bikes ever.

So as owners of the FZ-S ' FZ v2.0 , my question to you all is this.

In mid 2017 , considering the bike is almost 3 years into the market now , is it worth going for the Yamaha FZ at this point of time?
I'm well aware that FZ will be reliable , but what's your opinion. Also please give me answers to 3 more questions in specific
1) How is the suspension performance for bad raods?
2) What's the fuel economy that you guys are managing in peak traffic , highway rides/ long rides with average speed of 80-90 kmph
3) What is the cost of each service?

Thank you in advance. Looking forward to a great time as an xBhpian.

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

Fz v2.0. Suspension are good enough for be roads.
Especially when you have pillion rider.

On long rides with 80-90 kmph or more than that my fz s V2 gives me 50 kmpl

Almost same in Bangalore peak traffic between 45 - 50 kmpl

Each service in around 1500 rs for me include oil changes.

I don't know about the engine life. But my bike crossing 20k so far no issues with fi system. It works fine. You have to service your bike in proper intervals

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

My throttle is jammed and does not roll back of its own. I consulted a mechanic and he suggested to change the throttle cable. I ride my bike very less maybe that has led to this issue. Has anyone changed the throttle cable and whats the price of a pair of throttle cable ?

Re: The Milage Factor

approved and merged.

Re: Yamaha FZ16 version 2.0

Hi Folks, I am an Apache RTR 160 owner, and after 4 years and approx 35k kms on it, am itching for a change. Subject to certain financial approvals , am seriously considering buying a FZ v2.0 in Black.

Pune members, is there any dealer that you particularly recommend? Or are all of them more or less the same, with a decent sales experience being like a lottery?

Cheers,
Vikram
