      My 1st biggest investment in life with my own earned money..
      Was saving to buy this machine since many months when panther black was my choice but couldn't save much and got delayed. After few months that bs4 thing got introduce and new bomber black came into picture. It seem not so interesting as the grey graphics on black were not much visible so then had to switch to FZ S FI instead of FZ FI. In january 2018 made up my mind as well as bank balance and finally on 4th jan 2018 booked FZ S FI opal white from Dolphin yamaha, asalpha showroom. On 18th jan 2018 took the delivery after getting all the rto process done.

      My daily run is from andheri to thane which comes to 46.2 km daily followed the run in period as per manual book the bike is superb comfortable in moving condition but in slow moving traffic where only 1st and 2nd gear is used the bikes heat is observed near left side leg area also the gear feels hard but when again the bikes start moving on roads no problem is faced. When taking delivery the odo had 2 km but the tyre and bike were in new condition i asked dealer whether can i get option to select bike from 2-3 lots but he said no you will get bike in proper condition. It costed me Rs.96800/- (Rs.700/- leg guard)

      The only good thing is i was allowed to see my bike getting service infront of me. I took care of bike till date but past 2 days due to my belt the tank got few scratches which i regret why it happened to me at last moment. But rest everything is fine. From 1-500 km i rode the bike under 4500 rpm at 40-50 speed and then 500-900 km under 6000 rpm at 40-69 speed. I always try to ride it in eco mode and after 69 speed the eco mode gets off at 70+ speed i have touched 80 speed at 6000 rpm the bike is smooth feels so good.
      My only concern is the AHO why i can't switch it back to previous model by putting the switch i asked dolphin yamaha svc they said it cannot be done. Also in signals where we wait for more then 1min i switch off engine using kill switch but AHO is on will it affect my battery or i should turn off the key as well.

          You can retrofit the headlight switch from reputed local mechanic, its not a big deal just a simple job but make sure to do it after your bike warranty period is over as doing mods on warranty period may void it. Yamaha ASC will refuse to do it as they never do retrofitting or modification jobs & AHO being mandatory by the Govt of India, it will be illegal to do so on an ASC.
          If you stop at any signal try to turn off the key. The battery on the fz is a puny 4AH one and fz having a halogen headlamp draws much more power than Led. So its safe to keep the headlamp off when the engine is turned off.

            When the signal are long with time display I turn off the key but when there is traffic with signal having no timing display it creates a problem because when you turn off the key and turn on again it takes few sec to load the console and then turn the self start till that time the impatient sperms behind me starts honking

              I think, the following are waste
              - Injector Cleaning. ( Get it done once in 10K or 20K kms.) Not at all needed in the middle unless you run on adulterated fuel.
              - Chain Lubrication. Get a chain lube on amazon and do it yourself. hardly takes 5 min. You can use any gear oil for this too.
              - Fuel Additive. Not needed.
              - Battery terminal. It is included in service. Why did they charge extra for this?

                Since the bike is new and its first service after it getting manufactured I let him do injector cleaning and adding fuel additive regarding chain lube yes I will be taking its care from now and battery terminal they spray something on it blue color liquid which will avoid rusting on terminal. Will definitely ask here what should be done on 2nd service prior to directly visiting SVC. Cause I think if 1st service coated me Rs.904/- 2nd service would be more priced

                                Hello Everyone. I am facing fuel gauge issue in my Fazer. Sometimes it starts blinking indicating that it's come to reserve, then after sometime I start seeing 2-3 bars

                                Is it common to FZs or there is some problem and I need to replace fuel gauge
