Bro at present fz25 is the best bike to buy. Take a look at dominar thread after looking you won't even think to buy it.

Vibrations are common in bike.

1. If you take a look at dominar it's built quality is not good
2. Duke and RC are not at all suitable for heavy traffic and they will give you less mileage
3. fz25 built quality is good mileage you can expect Upto 45kmpl and it's quicker than Duke 200 and Duke 250.

All bike comes with a disadvantage you have to modify it according to your need.

I hv virtually finalised this bike. I wanted a fuss free powerful reliable machine with great handling for Touring in mountains once in every 2-3 months and for general use else. I seriously considered Rs200 but found lot lot of issues in its engine . See Xda thread it's virtually filled with strange issues. Then Gixxer is also good but it lacks pillion comfort and may not suit me. I am well built 28yr guy.

But I m waiting for ABS version . This bike is only 20000 cheap on road from RS200 that has a ABS. I badly wanted an ABS , I feel it will help in mountain roads and Snow that my bike may face ?

Hey guys plz throw some light on utility of ABS in snow of mountains of Manali/Jipsa/ leh etc. If a bike has special Snow Tyres : ; ;studded with pins ;then how difficult/dangerous it remains in practically to ride without ABS?
Don't Snow Tyres ensure that bike behave just normally on snow just like in Tarmac? Or still skidding chances are high ?
In close turns of mountain how much speed u guys riDe.? Balancing for safety and mile munching both ?
And finally do snow tyres make it more dangerous to ride in non snow mountain paths which will also come along snow paths?

Its quite confusing to calculate all this without some1 experienced guide here. That why I m holding my bike buying and thinking to wait till abs is added in April 18 . But I really really want that beauty now. So should I wait ?

hardcore dirt or snow riding is better without abs. you are required to lock rear wheel at times. also imagine you are on a slope with mud and bike wheel still rotating when you actually want it to lock/stop.

on mountain roads i normally dont cross 60 kmph if its steep valley on one side. say on roads near mussorrie. on my r15 on last visit to mussoorie, some chicken strips were left. to completely remove them you need to take corners at 90-100 kmph. those speeds i dont think are sane on those roads.

if you are that much interested in off roading, i say get a legit dirt bike. upcoming improved himalyan with fixed niggles, or a new honda bike are likely to launch. fz while a great bike is focused on road use and some fun around corners.

Same here, almost.. I filled up from reserve to full, it took around 11.4 litres. Then rode around 97 kms and did a tank full again. But this time when filling, after the petrol came till the brim, the bunk guy kept pouring with intervals and the bike kept swallowing. This was not done during the first time the tank was filled to brim.
So, around 3.45 litres were poured, then I asked him to stop, and I am sure the bike could have taken a little more.. Now calculating, it gives ~28. Which I feel is not accurate, as I assume I didn't do a proper tank full the first time nor the second..

Anyone know how to do a proper tank full?? I mean it comes to the brim and stays there, but if we pour some more it shallows that and maintains the brim level :/

And i can count that number on fingers of my left hand only. Lets not drag this topic here and hijack FZ25 thread.
FZ is a great bike.
So how is ur experience with it thus far.
Hamare [MENTION=58308]ankit.traveller bhai is enjoying it.

Yes enjoying my ride a lot .

But up shifts are smooth but down shifts are bit hard.

Mileage am getting 40in city.

Right now am in the service center to get my bike water wash and chain clean

Guys, what all were there in the tool kit that came along with the bike. I just have a screw driver and a spanner. My fz16 had a bunch more.

Three sizes spanner and a screw driver, that's all I got.

Had shifts would get better with usage and more oil changes. U can try clutch play adjustment for same there should always be 2 to 3mm play in the lever or whatever is mentioned in the manual.

I have informed the SVC guy have to wait and see what they gonna do

I noticed my FZ left panel was opened by dealer as it was not fitted correctly. Now I opened and fit correctly myself. I noticed the battery belt was not in place and there is no negative terminal cap on the battery. Only the red one is there. Can you guys confirm if you have it the black cap? If anyone has already opened it.

@Ijs @rajathik Mod deleted ur reply to my query. I hv not read it. Plz PM me whatever u were saying. And mods plz avoid over enthusiasm
