  • Re: Is it advisable to go on long road trip on 5+ year old FZS

    Hello Team,

    I am new to the forum and not sure where to post my query hence posting here.

    I own a Yamaha FZS purchased in first half of 2012 and a TVS Jupiter (2017 model).

    Now, I am planning for a bike ride from Navi Mumbai to Bengaluru. Is it advisable to ride on FZS or should I prefer TVS Jupiter?
    Fz s always

            After installation osra 45/40.

            It gives very slight load to the bike. But the light seems to be very good. Significantly increased the visibility at the first impression.

              I couldn't get proper light throw picture because I couldn't get into really dark place.
              It's better than the stock light. It will be good option for the night ride's

                  Thankyou [emoji4]
                  looks better than stock one's, I'll give them a try as on highways sometimes i have to ride with high+ low beam for acceptable visibility but that thing is surely not good for the setup and battery so I'll give this one a try.
                  Thanks again

                    It has better high beam light throw with pretty good visibility all over. Also you need to adjust the headlights angle for your visibility.

Now iam thinking about selling the bike only because of this problem
                      I would say take you bike to some trusted local mechanic and tell him to clean up the chain thoroughly. I think at some point of time the SVC guys or someone else poured old engine oil in your chain. That degrades the o rings and that in turn makes that noise. Speaking from my experience. This also happened with me. One day while I was riding, my chain eventually tightened to a point that if I would have rode another two or three kms, it would've snapped. Changed my chain sprocket set the very next day. Ever since no such sounds.

                          I had tried led but it's doesn't work well with the fzs v2 headlamp reflector.

                          For me it was a failed test. And I moved back to stock lamps

                            I think, LED's for Auto are still under research from big manufacturers. They started entering into premium cars hardly few years ago. it might take some time for them to be more cost effective and Reliable replacement for the current ones. Till then, its better to hold. Remember, we live in a country where fakes are sold more than original ones.

                                If the same is available for 300 or 400, i could dare to discard, if i don't like it or if it fails. BTW who is going to send to china for warranty?

                                Also, how much does Indian govt charge us for such imports? 10%? or more? last time, i ended up paying 6K for a motherboard.
