Hi, After 14 years of riding Bajaj pulsar 150cc. I am finally contemplating of moving over to Yamaha FZ25 in July. I went for a test ride in Pune and I had few questions before going for it.
1. The dealer says there are no accessories available for the bike (Yamaha has not fed the part numbers in their ERP and hence the dealers are not able to order it- so no leg guard and other stuff- I read that dealers give helmets with the bike but none of the dealers in Pune agree to that.
Yamaha does not officially provide any accessories. It is generally by the local dealers.
Helmets need not be provided by the dealers. In case they are providing, they will be adding the cost component somewhere in your OTR price.

2. Pillon seats are higher- will it be an inconvenience to the pillon rider especially on a longer ride
As long as pillion seated on both sides, it must not be a problem.

3. On road city mileage around 38- Is that the real case?
Ideally it must be close to 40 KMPL in city considering bike specs. Much higher on Highways.

4. Any idea about the price impact after GST rollout (1st July), I will have to prepone the buying plan in case of significant impact on the higher side(I had read that tax component of bikes with more than 350cc will be increased)
Price may remain more or less the same. Motorcycles are falling under 18% GST bracket IIRC.

Comments in Bold.

Yeah. True that. Is some kind of an engine/radiator cover available or anyone designed it for any other bike?
This thing immediately gets dirtly.

Has anyone pressure washed their bike? What are the precautions to be taken? Does the petrol tank/ECU/Electricals need to be covered/protected?

Are you serious?

Its a Motorcycle not a Car. They are designed to withstand all kinds of weathers. Also theres no need to pressure wash a motorcycle. Take a normal water pipe at your home and use that.

Did you want it to go all teh way to the bottom and touch the road? riding even after a short rain, the front engine part just behind the mudgaurd is getting muddy.do anyone have a suggestion? What did you expect to happen while riding in the rain? After each ride throw some water on it after teh engine cools down (~30mins), simple.

Be practical. Dont get so worked up on such small things.

Woah...tone down the aggressive nature please.

If the guy is asking for a good radiator guard its obviously because he doesn't like mud sitting on it.

Also, if he asking for better designed mudguard then probably the current one is not good enough for him (might be for you - happy for you if that is the case). Just tell him that you find it good enough and haven't seen anything better and then move on.

P.S You might want to take the last few words of your post and apply them to yourself

(after all dude he is just asking for opinions from fellow riders on a forum..no need to "get so worked up on such small things")

1. The bike does not have a radiator (its air cooled) Correct me if I am wrong
2. Even if it had a radiator, you would put a Guard on it not a "Cover" as mentioned by Kaustubh. Since the bike is relatively new, there will be no aftermarket support for it yet.
3. Pressure washing a motorcycle is never recommended for a bike
4. He wants a better mudguard to prevent mud from getting thrown on the engine block and header pipe? *SMH*

Nowadays mudguards are built like this only, although you can add an extender but you have to drill two holes for that but still it will throw some mud on engine block and header pipe.

Pressure wash is never a problem if its medium pressure is used near engine area. Rest of the bike its fine.
ECU and Electricals are generally well protected for Water.
