Now for the questions ,
1)In what interval it's best to lubricate the chain and whats the preferable oil brand?
2) I have heard about decreased mileage with service , can you guys provide input on this?
Any other suggestions that I need to follow up please let me know in the comments.
Thank you.

Hi Folks,

I'm planning to purchase FZ25 shortly.
However after going through some of the previous posts, seems like braking is bit worry in this bike even at low speed as it doesn't offer ABS.
Is this riskier in rainy season on wet roads or cruising at high speeds(100-120 Kmph) and suddenly dog comes in between where you need to come to complete halt.
Chances of wheel lock and skids?
Guys, I need your valuable inputs/comments on breaking aspect .

Hey all, been a lurker in this site for quite some time especially in this forum since I was interested in FZ25 and after reading most of your inputs ,went ahead and bought FZ25.
It's been 2 months since I bought the bike and the bike has clocked 2000kms+
Just wanted to provide some observations here
1) I am not sure if this bike is for clocking high speeds but more towards enjoying those 60 to 110 kmph cruising feel.
Recently did a trip to Hampi(almosy 1k round trip)with pillion and a luggage of 10 to 15 kgs on us, one thing ,all through trip I never felt the weight nor felt there was a pillion behind me and pillion also mentioned that she had a comfortable ride all through the trip except for the bad roads part and this I think is the best part of this bike, never felt any lack of power either with the added weight.
2) Bike handling at city is just precise, never feels aggressive and gives proper response to throttle when the need arises.
3)I did observe some coin rattling or hissing at lower rpms which subsided as I hit higher gears
4) Currently getting 34.5km/ltr in Bangalore traffic according to the mileage indicator and 38 to 39km/ltr at highways without pillion.
5)Regarding the "Headlight Throw" , I somehow have no complaints with it, the throw was fine when riding at highway at 90kmph at night , but I think the issue arises when there are Halogen Lampost on the street, as orange throw of this Lampost seems to seep more compared to the white light of LED and overcomes the Bike headlight to a very good extent.
6) This bike is so minimal . I kinda like it, seems made for the purpose.

Now for the questions ,
1)In what interval it's best to lubricate the chain and whats the preferable oil brand?
2) I have heard about decreased mileage with service , can you guys provide input on this?

Hi Friends,

Need some advice.

Recently I bought a Yamaha FZ-250 from Yamaha Kings Motors in Baner Rd, Pune. Its nearly 4 weeks now and I haven't got any SMS or information from DMV.
Now I realized that I made a mistake by going to this particular dealer. Service is pathetic. Also if you look at the google site reviews for this dealer, many folks are facing the same problem(rating is 2.8). Now I am wondering what options I have. These sales agents dont pick up my call now. Now a days I go to showroom. Every time they give a new excuse.

How can I find someone who is responsible/owner for this dealer ? Front desk folks are useless and customer service in really bad.
Can I complain to someone in Yamaha ? Will they listen ?
Can I try something on my own with DMV ?

First day of my ride home itself, cop caught me. They harassed but eventually let me go. So I am not riding my bike and waiting for the registration number.

Appreciate any pointers in this regard

Thanks in Advance
Raj

Same problem here dude I'm from Jamshedpur,jharkhand and the dealer they send me the registration no. 21 days later purchase of my bike but it's been 50 days till now i didn't get my owner card.... They give excuses of festivals each n every time i ask for that...

Just wondering if anyone has changed the fz25s headlight to philips xtreme vision leds or some aftermarket leds which are more powerful that the stock leds.
please share your experiences.

You can not change LEDs if I remember it right.

We cannot change LED's the. The glass part comes as a whole unit.

Yes, looks like the lights cannot be changed. It’s a sealed unit. Costs above 3k. With taxes should be 4K with labor cost. [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24]

I am fine spending even 5K or more if headlight can be changed reliably - this is one of the major reasons why I have excluded this bike so far. Is it possible to change the headlight somehow w/o affecting FI and normal functioning of the bike?
